A WOMAN Halter.
The Ladies' Want Marshal MaoATichaeIs
Scalp.
From Washington Soeoia1.


From Washington SDeciaE
There is one class Of people here who
are not very sorry because Mr.. Clayton
MacMichael is to be superseded as United
states Marshal Of this district. The class
indicated are the ladies who follow the
/ profession Of gathering and writing uD
society matters. The Marshal, besides
other light duties, is the manager Of all
! public entertainments at the White
/ House. He generally stands at the left Of
/ the President at all leYees and public re-
/ ceptions at the White House and intro
duces all corners to the President. He
started out, on assuming this position
when appointed by President Arthur,
with the Idea that all newspaper writers
! were Intruders, and that female news
gatherers were especially intruders.
Now 1t happened that the ladies' who as
sisted in the management OF President
Arthurs social affairs had an entirely
different idea Of the calling of these So
clety writers. The Marshal gave them
all the trouble he could, and never lost an
opportunity to show that he did not re-
gard them as guests in any sense. The
society writers, however, got the best of
the marshal on almost every occasion.
PRESIDENT Arthur being specially kind TO
them all. At Miss CleVeland's first re-
ceptiOn Marshal MacMichael was there
and so were about half dozen lady socie-
ty correspondents. These society cor
respondents managed to get in the Blue
Room before the Marshal or Miss Cleye-
land entered. When Miss Cleveland took
her place in the centre Of the room. abe
noticed the half dozen ladies-the society
correspondents referred to-standing at
one corner OF the room. Miss Cleveland.
turning to the Marshal, asked: "Mr.
Marshal who arc thaga laJfoe M
Marshal replied: ''Oh, they are society
correspondents. We can't keep them ont
OF the house. They are ALWAYS here0
why don't you present them TO me? |
VIII be glad to meet Them" said Miss
Cleveland, looking toward them in the
most friendly manner. The Marshal.
seeing that he had made
mIscalculatiOn, then introduced the
ladies', adding in each case the
paper that they represented. After the
lhtroductlons were over Miss Cleveland |
remarked, Il don't see any reason why |
these ladies' should not be mere. and. Mr.. |
Marshal, | hope you will make eyerv- |
thing as pleasant for them while they are |
mere as you can, as / certainly willV The !
doors were then opened and the public
were admitted. This settled the standing
OF society correspondents under the new
administration, and they have alwavs !
been welcomed at the White House since.
But they saw what their reception would /
be II the Marshal had had his way. and
nave never lost an opportunity since to re- /
mind him of it, either in their eOnversa.
lions or articles. BY kind OF common |
agreement among themselves these society
writer's have always forgot to mention the |
presence Of the Marshal at any public en- |
lertainment that has taken place at the |
White House since.
