WHEN Thomas Jefferson was elected pres.
ldent in 1901, Mr.. Madison was made sscrs
tary of state, and with his charming wife had
10 move to Washington. Though at this
time the new national capital was but little
better Than wilderness, there was a small
and very agreeable resident society in the
three District " cities of Alexandria, Wash.
lngton and Georgetown, among whom social
entertainments were kept up with great
Drllllancy and style. 1t il said that - the
season at Washington had such attractions

JEFFERSON did, however, from principle |
abolish the artificial formalities and punctil. |
ious ceremoniOusness that had prevailed un.
der Washington and Adams and served TO |
make their state receptions as stiff as those at
any European court OF royalty. But in their
