Notable Reception in Wash
iDQtOD

The most notable entertainment,
without exception. ever given ut
the Executive Mansion where refresh
ments were served was that to the
diplomats corps in February, 1881,
at the close OF the Hayes administra-
tion. There had passed before the
President and Mrs Hayes 1000 per
sons by actual count. OF this nu m
Der 800 partook of the lavish re-
freshments served. There were two
large wine barrels of terrapin prepar-
ed and served. Over l, 800 loaves of
bread and $50 hams were made into
sandwiches. There were nearly
900 quarts OF ice cream furnished.
Nearly 400 chickens were used in
salads. Over $50 gallons OF coffee
and n great tank OF lemonade were
consumed. There were cakes and
CONNECTIONS without stint. The
steward of the household, W. T..
Crump. who managed this enor-
nous gastronomir campaign.
had n small army OF men and
women in the kitchen. A sup
ply of $500 clean plates was kept
constantly on hand and required ten
dish washers. There were seven cooks
in the kitchen and fifty winters EN-
ployed in serving the guests. The
actual cost of this single entertain
ment was SO, 900. although no wines
were served, which was more than has
ever been expended by any President
for state dinners during n whole nd-
ministration. The jam was unparai-
leled. owing to senators and Others
abusisg the Executive hospitality by
bringing as many as ten ladies' on
the card designed only to include
the ladies OF their families.

The Power of Little Things.

Daintiness in trihes is very attractive.
A gift that is wrapped in good paper and
tied with pretty ribbon, for instance,
looks twice as tempting as the same
present carelessly given. Every one
knows how table may be made refined
or otherwise by the mere setting of the
china, glass and cutlery and how the
touch of the mistress hand will convert
the clumsy disposition of an inexperi-
enced servant into an arrangement OF
beauty and order The same room with
the same furniture may look as widely
different as the desert of Sahara and the
garden of Eden, according to the taste
shown by it's occupant.
This power of little things cannot be
overestimated, and it is not only in
things inanimate, but in words and deeds,
that this most desirable quality of taste
may be manifested A kind action may
be made graceful, a generous gift may
be bestowed tactfully, by force of what
might be deemed trife, but which
sometimes is of the greatest Importance.
On the other hand, careless, neglectful
manner will almest rob kindness OF
the pleasure it was intended to bestow
and render it absolutely distasteful to
the recipient. York Tribune.
