about fourteen years, were seen brutally
beating another boy, named Coy, in the

paid to it. lie then appealed to Col.
Mandragon, the new iefe politico, who
has had the boys assailants arrested, and

DRESS AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
The Only Time When the DecOllete Toilet
Has Not Been Popular.

The Only Time When the DecOllete Toilet
Has Not Been Popular.
While her husband was PresideA
Mrs. Grant often wore a low-necked
dress while receiving by gaslight. She
had very plump, pretty, white neck,
and decollete toilet was becoming to
her. Mrs. Belknap, while her husband
was Secretary of War, Mrs. Robson,
while her husband was Secretary OF
the Navy, and Mrs. Williams, while
her husband was Attorney General,
usually wore low-necked dresses at
evening receptions held by the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Grant, whether they
were receiving with them or among
their guests. Last New Year Senator
Don Cameron's wife and General Sher.
mans youngest daughter-Miss Rachel
who came together and both OF
whom had been invited by President
Arthur to receive with him, each wore
a low-necked. dress, although the recep-
ton began at eleven a. m.
Within the recollection of the writer,
who has attended White House recep-
tons since 1868, the only period when
low-necked dresses were wholly dis
couraged there was while. Mrs.
Hayes was the presiding lady.
She never wore one or permitted any
one over whom she had any influence
to do so. Though she had young girls
constantly visiting her, only one of
them ever ventured to wear decollete
gown while at the White House and
She did so but once. Knowing Mrs.
Hayes dislike of dress made to show
the whole neck, ladies refrained, as a
rule, from wearing frocks made in that
way at the state dinner parties given by
the President and Mrs. Hayes, though
ordinarily that evidence of being in
full dress is considered indispensable at
formal dinner party. When Presi-
dent and Mrs. Grant gave on March 3,
1877, a state dinner to their successors,
Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes, Mrs. Robson
(whose husband was then Secretary of
the Navy was the only lady present
in low-necked gown, pains being
taken by Senator Sherman's wife, whose
guests the President-elect and Mrs.
HAYES were from their arrival in Wash
ington until they moved into the White
House, to tell the ladies asked to the
dinner of Mrs. Hayes prejudice against
decollete toilets. The latter lady
usually had the waists of her evening
dresses cut V shape in front and filled
in with lace.-W Washington Cor. Boston
