lhE QUEENS OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
Abigail Adams, who entered the White
House rs its queen" in the year 1900, is
tho iirst in the long procession OF women
Whose beauty and accomplishments have
been its greatest attraction. The list be-
gins with the cultured lady who found the
East Room OF Inappropriate size to expedite
the operations OF the laundry. She was n
digni!ied person, and occasionally remind.
ed her husband that his position did not
properly admit .oi too great familiarity
with the people, itor receptions were
splendid and stately. The Democratic
Jefferson was 4 widower during the in.
cumbency Of the highest Office in the M.
ton. His daughters and Mrs, Madison,
wife Of tho Secretary OF Stale, administer
ed the social aitaiF OF the White House
during his administration. The oueenly
Mrs. Madison led Washington society
while her husband was President, eclip.
sing nil rivalry by her noble appearance
in toilets OF superfativc spicndor She
was the rcaly-wittcd lady who saved the
nations portrait OF It's Immortal founder
from the ,ibility OF injury by the British.
troops. With the reopening Of the Execu.
tive Mansion, in ISIS, Mrs. Monroe began
4 series OF entertainments which we're
characterized by stately and formal
elegance perhaps equal to that of for
eien courts. Tie accomplished vile OF
John Quincy Adams encouraged the
visits OF men OF culture, and during her
reign rs tho mistress OF the White House
showed wonderful tact in securing the ap-
probation Of her husbands administration
by tho wise and learned. Sturdy Andrew
jackson had buried his wife shortly be.
fore his inauguration. She was inferred
in the dress made for that occasion. His
niece, Mrs. Emily Donaldson, took charge
OF the household, but did not succeed IN
checking etiectunlly the uproarious jollifi.
cations with which the President was wont
to rccreato himself. The story OF Jack
sons cheese is one well worth Of re.rela-
ton. AT his farewell reception he pave
every, guest n "chhnk" from monster
cheese given him by admirers from New
York State. Every piece weighed about
three, pounds and was served by two
laborious men armed with huge knives
extemporized Tor the occasion from hand.
