Youih's temperance Tanner for Feb

ing article for young girls. by Elizabeth
Cleveland. sister of President Cleveland:
J.. G.. Holland wrote in Mrs. Hayes
album these words: Women only can
make wine-drinking questionable and
heal the Nation of this curse"
What did DR.. Holland NEAR ~
women only?" Is il true tina. only
women can make wine-drinking I'M
fashionable and heal the Nation of thi,
curse? You and | need to know this
first: because if only We women can dc
this thing. why it is al awful respon-
sibility upon Us. each one Of Us. And
if somebody elesc 4 do il. we. like all
the others. would like to give that some
body else the job. Five years AGO. At
Washington. Mrs. HAYES became
mistress Of the White House. and il was
for her. and no n else. 10 say what
the social atmosphere should be which
surrounded her guests, and how they
should be entertained IT her house.
Well. she did an unheard-of thing.
She hani>hed wine from all her
entertainments. with just q ex.
cep,ion. Secretary Evarts made n
fuss. tie WAS mortified. He could
not endure TO have Lord and LADY
English. Count and Countess French.
Baron and Baroness German come to
The White House dinners and have
nothing lit for them to drink-not .
drop Of poison! II was too utterly
queer. So Mrs Hayes made one ex-
ception in favor of those grca. foreign
highnesses and allowed wine upoa her
table in their presence. Blu only for
once. Her conscience -high-souled
woman that she is-smote her for that
one little ~cowarGly compromise with
wrong. She could better endure to
have Secretary Evar:s and the Smiths
ashamed Of her than to be ashamed of
herself. so she quietly and forever af-
ter prohibited vine from hcr table and
cheerfuilv endured the lifted eyebrows
and shrugged shoulders of the diplo-
matic>- British. French. Russ an all.
and the little. short lived hiss of '.fash-
ionablc' s~ociety. until that hiss turned
