bis invitations TO his own political party,
but many a prominent Democat has been IN
vited informslly TO dine at the White
House. The President rarely sits down u
dinner without from two to eight guests.
His dinners invariably consist OF half a dozen
courses accompanied by as many different
kinds of wine. Everything is of the very
best quality obtEinable, and.I suppose the
average White H0uva dinner costs s.
plate.
A S25 dinner kept all the year round
will make pretty big hole IN the $50 600.
Besides. the President is every now and t1en

they are in reality quite extensive affair

and, 90 long as everything Is hrst class, the
PTetident never grumbles ct the expense.
great many OF the purchases are made
here. but the ste ward has no hesitancy in
sending 10 New York or elsewhere for some
delicacy OF the season. The wines are all of
the finest brands, and the cigars, which are
purchased IN large quantities, are all i'm
ported.
TIE President can not be called great
smoker. be doesn't smoke now as much as
be did earlier in his administration. In
fact. he confines his smoking to evening.
be is not an early riser, but accomplishes
great deal after most people have sought
their beds at night. be follows the French
plan OF partaking OF a cup OF coffee imme.
distely after rising, and then goes 20 WORK.
About noon his breakfast IS brought to him
il. his private office. It Is a very simple
meal and is brought on a salver. and the
President partakes OF il from little taols or
stand which is il MS private office. His
dinner, which occupies good portion of
the evening, is the meal OF the day. X
there were any means Of getting the figures
the Presidents table expenses would be
foun much heavier than people imsgine.
The fact is, the President OF the United
States ought not TO be bothered with such
expenses. 1t would be good plan ID make
q liberal estimate of the expenses OF the
White House, both official and domestic, ex =
cepting of course, all personal expenses, and
appropriate certain amount annually for
defTaying them. / don't mean that the
President isn't allowed large enough SAL
airy to meet them, but there ought to be
some system and regul arity about such mat
tiers. If need be, the Presidents salary could
be reduced 10 $50 600 to make things even.
My idea is to take such matters out OF the
President hands, and then there wonld be
q certainty of White House Inequalities on
q suitable scale. There have been cases, and
are liable to be more, where the occupant OF
the White House thinks more Of his salary
than of the honor Of his position, with a

Mother Instinct in Little Girls.
SAN francisco CHRONICLE


Ii is curious how girl children al cling TO
dolls. l was at Christmas tree on Wednes-
day evening. The child, a girl three years
old, had dozen or fifteen little presents.
She had nothing to tsy. She looked kind OF
helplessly around as if the rapid rush of
beautiful things dszed her. She took each
new one ard grssped it closely for q minute,
but laid it sside carelessly as the next came.
About the third thing she got. however, was
a doll, a female doll, with stiff lining
scalp and profusion of blonde hair. blue
silk dress and blue stockings. That she never
released for riggs or pictures, or ANYTHING.
And she went TO bed with the doll ia her
arms. 1t was the only thing, her mother
said she seemed to remember next morning
for she came across her in the nursery with
the.doll entirely stripped OF the DIRE IS, which
she had carefully put into basin to be
washed, and on Christmas night she was
com biDg the doll hair, xplaioiog that the
could not put on the dress until it dried. L
suppose il was The bidding OF that mother
instinct which makes all women so much
dearer TO the world than men.

THE PRESIDENTS EXPENSES.
What 1T Really Costs to Maintain his Dig
nifty In Washington.

tWdsu4u6tOu STAT
The President receives good salary, but
his private expenses are heavier than one
would imagine. A glance at his check book
at the end of the year would show the greater
part of his $50, Geo expended, and mostly in
maintaining his private household. I'd be
sure, the President has \ great deal done for
him at public expense. and X is well that
such is the CO Sc, or a President would have
to be a very rich man necessarily. Every
thing pertaining TO the official branch of the
White House is paid for by the Government;
but to meet the private expenses, the Presi-
dent has TO 60 pretty deep into his pocket.
The service of the White House costs him
but comparatively little. The steward,
who is prominent figure there, is
a Government officer. Although he
Is the Presidents caterer, and is
appointed by him, he is under $4,000
bond, and is responsible for everything that
is brought into the White House. If a new
carpet or some furniture is bought for one of
the parlors the bill is net paid by the Com
missioner of Public Buildings and Grounds
until the steward has approved it by cern
flying that the goods have been received as
described. The French cook, who is con-
sidered master of his art, is paid out of the
Presidents pocket a salary OF 81 500 a year.
The table servants are paid from the same
source. Until recently the Presidents pri-
vate servant was paid by him 500 per
nonth. He Is now on the rolls OF the White
House, having been given vacancy which
occurred some time ago. His coschmsn.
Albert Hawkins, receives $50 per month. and
the French maid for Nellie Arthur is of
course paid by the President. So you can
scarcely say that the private salary list Is 8
vbry big one, but there are q great many
other expenses. 1t costs quite q sum to
keep Alan Arthur at college and provide for
him Is Presidents son should be provided
for. There are q dozen horses in the stable
belonging 70 the Presidents family and kept
by him. That alone is an annual expense OF
at least S.. 200.
The expenses enumerated are compare
lively insignificant. /: is the White House
table that makes the heavy drain upon his
pocketbook. We never have had President
who dispensed the Inequalities of the table
with sucn q lavish hand as the present occu-
pant of the White House. The series OF
State dinners last year far surpassed any,
thing of the kind ever given before, each one
costing him at least $500. His frequent din
ners almost equal them. The President is
very fond of the delights of the table. He
always has the very best the market affords,
and almost always has company at his table
A higher compliment can not be paid q man
than to ask him to dinner. President Ar
thur is continually paying this compliment
to bis friends. He does not always coafne

A Boston Romance.
rD@~fA- C4--fA

About eighteen months ago young gen.
tleman living In Commonwealth avenue
was smitten with violent passion for a
pretty servant employed in his mothers
house. They were married secretly. but the
family early discovered the state of affairs,
and then there was terrible time. 1t was
proposed to the erring son that his lowborn
wife should be given a certain sum of money
and sent so far away that she could never
trouble him. 1t is presumed he regretted
his hasty act, for he accepted the terms, and
the girl was sent away. The matter was
confined to members of the family with the
exception of an aunt of the young man, who
helped furnish the money to buy The silence
of the girl not even the most intimate
friends having al idea of the way things
stood. The young gentleman, of course,
passed for an unmarried man.
About six months after the disappearance
of his wife ne met beautiful girl at Cam.
bridge, with whom he fell desperately in
love. She was a lovely, accomplished, and
his equal in birth ana fortune. He paid her
marked attention for several months, aud
finally offered himself in marriage. The
young lady accepted him, and the engage.
ment was announced. Now during this
time the aunt who knew his secret had been
taken violently insane. and was put in the
Nc Lean ylum for treatment. The Cam
bridge young lady, whom we will call Miss
White, had a sister in the same asylum,
who vss insane from melancholy.
Miss White frequently visited her SIS
ter, and continued 10 do SO after her engage
ment, even speaking of her coming hsppi-
ness during one of her visits. One day one
of the keepers at the asylum said to the mel
ancboly patient: Miss White, your sister
is coming to see you to-day" In the OPP
posite gallery the aunt OF the young man
was confined, and she overheard the message.
She Immediately called cut: Il must see
your sister when she comes, | have secret
to tell her" Accordingly, when Miss White
called, the aunt found means to see her, aud
after asking If it was true she was engaged,
told her tie story of the young mans mar
riage and that he had never been divorced.
The young lady was almost stunned, al
though, obtaining the news In such q place,
she could not believe it. Returning home
she told her father what she had heard, and
upon tigation he found il true. At this
time the invitations were out for the we'd
ding and oil preparations made. Miss White
sent her betrothed husband q note asking
him to call at q certain time. When he ar
rived she walked into the room and IN the
presence of her parents accused him of his
treachery and the terrible position in which
he bad nearly placed her. He did not at.
tempt denial, and could not find ANYTHING
to say in extenuation except that he loved
her and thought that his wife would never
appear. The young lady suffered serious
