And bending low above me, soft should

tional church at Weymouth, Mass. OBJ
iected to the sutton as of 10 standing.
and asked, "Who is this young man?
Where did he come from?' to which
she saucily replied, Il don't know where
he came from, but | know where he is
going, and | am going with him." She
went with him. and during all the years
that followed was his advisor, his cOun-
cillor, his able assistant. Of timid
nature, Adams shrank from the storms
of opposition which the Revolution
aroused. ana would have failed in his
loyalty had not his wife's courageous
eXhortations kept him true to the re-
public.
Gifted with brilliant intellect and
great energies. she felt. as such women
have in all ages, the circumscribed con-
ditiOns which her sex imposed. In a
letter dated March, 1776, she wrote to
her husband making the first demand
for woman suffrage ever made in this
country.
81 long to hear you declare an indie
pendency, and, by the way, in the new
code of laws which suppose it will be
necessary for you to make, L desire you
would remember the ladies and be more
generous and be more favorable to them
than your ancestors"
Again and again did Mrs. Adams ap-
peal for political freedom for women,
and, failing in that, was most strenuous
in demanding higher education for
girls. IF we mean to have heroes.
statesmen and philosophers, we should
have learned women" Thus she wrote,
with prescience rare in those days.
When, in 1897. Mr.. Adams became
president OF the United States, the fam
lily left their home in Quincy, Mass, to
reside at first in Philadelphia. and then,
in 1900. to remove to Washington, where
the White house had been built and was
theoretically fit for habitation; but Mrs.
Adams wrote to her daughter most
amusing descriptions Of the discomforts
Of the place. mo wood for fires,
though surrounded by woods; no bells.
and olhy six rooms made comfortable"
The east room, then unfinished, was
used as a drying room. After four
months in this uncomfortable hablta-
ton Mrs. Adams, whose health had
begun 10 suffer from the hardships en-
dured, returned TO Quincy, and never
afterwards revisited the White house.
Yet she was its first mistress, and the
memory Of her wit and grace fingers
yet.
Portia, as her friends used to call her,
was brilliant writer. Her letters are
models of graceful diction, and it was
openly said during her life that mr. hns-
band was aided, not only by her sug
gestions. but by her pen. In appear
ance this famous woman was intelli-
gent and attractive. but not beautiful.
She had bright black eyes and dark hair
and peculiarly piquant mouth.
Thomas jefferson had been nineteen
years widower when, in 1901, he be-
came the occupant of the White house.
He lived socially quiet life, dis
couraged levees, and was assisted in
state dinners and at such receptions as
he was forced to give by the famous
lady then the wife of the secretary of
state, soon to be herself the queen of
the White house.
Dorothy Payne Madison, the brilliant
wife of the third president of the Unit
ed States, was of West Virginia descent,
though brought up a Quaker in Phila-

delphia. She was very pretty girl,
and at nineteen married John Todd, a
promising young lawyer, who, how
ever, after brief married life. died,
leaving a beautiful and fascinating
widow. In 1894, being then twenty-five
years old, she married James Madison,
then young member of congress. In
1901 Mr.. Jefferson appointed Mr.. Madi-
son secretary of state, an office which
he held until himself elected president.
During these sixteen years Mrs Madi-
ison was the center and soul of Wash
ington society.
She was woman Of unfai ling aimia-
bility and joyOusness of disposition
that made her ever cheerful with play
Of humor and wit that sparkle in her
conversation. Washington Irving de-
scribes visit to the White house when
she was queen there, and says of her.
"She was fine, pretty buXom dame.
who had smile and kind word for
every one" In her day the turban was
the fashionable, indeed the indispensI-
bic head dress for women of fashion,
and Mrs. Madison was famous for the
beauty and elegance Of hers.
During her administration the form
atty and stiff etiquette which had been
regimes was banished, and everything
was done to make the White house re-
ceptions pleasant. Never forgetting a
face or name, widely admired there is
today no one among the miStresSes of
the White house so beloved as that of
dolly Madison"
After her husbands death the distin-
gushed widow made her residence in
Washington. She was given seat in
the senate, and the franking privileges
and her receptions were said to be as
crowded as those of the president.
Elizabeth KQrtnrght Monroe was the
daughter of a former captain in the Brit
ish army. When James Monroe was
appointed minister to the court of st.
Cloud, his wife accompanied him to
Paris. and by her grace of manner and
dignity did much to make the young re-
public respected. At this time France
was also a republic, but its liberties
were stained with the record of the
blood shed in that name. The Marquise

gushing in the prison of La Force,
hourly expecting death. Mrs. Monroe
made her a visit and this act of kindness
saved her life.
During the years that she was the
lady of the White house Mrs. Monroe
was never in strong health. and, al
though performing faithfully her part
in official receptions and dinners
where etiquette required her presence,
she spent as much of her time as posi-
BILE in seclusion.
Louisa johnson Adams was an at
tractive young English girl when John
Quincy Adams was minister to the
court of st. James. He met her in Lon
don, and they were married there.
While his father was president Mr..
Adams was sent to Berlin, and later to
the court of ST. Petersburg. After re-
turning to this country he occupied va
riouS places OF prominence, was Secre-
tary of state and at last president. Mrs.
Adams made dignitied lady of the
White house, and it was during her
control there that the venerable Mar
Quis de Lafayette made his memorable
visit TO this country.
Rachel DonelSon jackson, wife of the
great general who was chosen sixth
president OF the United States, died
shortly after his election to the chief
magistracy. The brave soldier was
faithful to her memory, and lived dur
ing his administration as bachelor in
the White house. Her niece, Mrs.
Emily Donelson. the wife of the presi-
dents private secretary, did the honors
of the mansion. She was young, pretty
and vivacious, and made pleasing
hostess. ably assisted by Sarah Yorke
Jackson, the young wife of Andrew
jackson Jr., the generals adopted son.
Martin Van Buren,, like his great
predecessor. was widower when, in
1887, he became president of the United
States. His wife, Hannah Hoes, was
the playmate of his childhooM and the
love of his youth. and she had no Sue
cessor. The honors of the White house
during his administration were done by
his daughter-in-law, Angelica Single

the president during the brief month at
the White house before his death.
John Tyler, elected as vice president,
and now created president, soon re-
moved with his family to the White
house soon after Gen. Harrison's death.
His wife, Letitia Christian before her
marriage, was a woman of most do
nestle tastes, who had no love of the
show and excitement which belong to
an exalted station. Her health was not
strong. and she lived as much as posi-
bic in retirement during the seventeen
months of her life at the White house.
In September. 1912, surrounded by her
family and friends, she passed from
earthly scenes.
One of the famous beauties of New
York at this time was Julia Gardiner.

The president was all devotion to the
lovely bereaved girl, young enough to
be his daughter. In June they were
married, and for few brief months the
next winter Mrs. Tyler was the charm
ing mistress of the American court.
Sarah Childress Polk was the daugh-
ter of a small farmer of Rutherford
county, Tennessee. She was woman
of tall and commanding figure and
handsome face, and performed all her
duties while her husband was president
with dignity and propriety.
Gen. Zachery Taylor during his brief
term at the White house was aided in
all social functions more by his bright
young daughter than by his wife. Mrs.
Taylor was not strong in health and of
