round the bare arm between the elbow
and the sleeves. Everybody thinks the
millinery last received the most tasty
seen for long time
The forms and ceremonials which
had rendered Mrs. WaShington's and
Mrs. Adams drawing rooms rather dull
and stiff were laid aside in Jefferson's
time, and no stiffness of any kind was
permitted. Jefferson lived in one corner
of the unfinished White House, then
known as the palace His two beauti-
full daughters being married and living
in Virginia, were but rarely at the
White House. Early in his administra-
ton he had appointed Madison as sec
rotary of state, and SO it came that the
fascinating Dolly, aided by her sister,
usually presided at the White House.
Jefferson had no liking for remaining
in Washington during midsummer, and
once said "Grumble who WILL 1 will
never pass those months on the tide
water. Still we see from the following
letter of Mrs MadiSon'S that the
Fourth of July found him at his post:

and vacant. The president goes in a
week, and we were all to go about the
same time, but for the reason given.
The Fourth of July spent at the pres
ident's, sitting quite STILL and amusing
myself with the mob
The mob" in those DAYS was very
much what it is today. We read as
early as 1888 of the grandest spectacle
Americans had ever seen. Five thou
sand inhabitants marched in civic pro-
cesslon. the line extending a mile and
a half. The chief justice rode in a car
shaped like an eagle and drawn by six
horses with two associates bearing a
copy Of the constitution affixed to a
liberty staff. Ten white horses attach

the river represented the ten states

name Yankee Doodle" Fire works
they had too. though without the
beautiful and varied hues that now
characterize them, tinted fireworks be-
ing only about fifty or sixty years old.
When Mrs. Madison became the real
mistress or the White House, true
Southern hospitality of a hearty. easy
Kind reigned supreme. She returned
all calls made by her own sex, and
originated the dove parties com
posed Of the wives of cabinet officers
and foreign ministers when their lords
were away. Her table was her pride.
and her multiplicity of dishes and their
size were sometimes the subject of
ridicule. During this period we find
ker again writing:
Where will you celebrate the Fourth
of July. my sister? We are to have
grand doings here. Mr.. Van Ness is
to deliver an grafton, Mr. L. stays
in the woods, and the ladies are to be
permitted to partake of the mirth."

years Of her married life in Wash

From 1776 on, the Fourth of July has
>een essentially mans day, the sweet
refreshment Of home, and the charms
of the gentler sex serving but as cases
between the fanfare of the public par
aGe and the scenes of perfervid pat
riotism and robustious oratory. Still,
in the early days, although the Wash
ingtons and Adams. Jeffersons and
Madison's might long for their Mount
Versions, Qlincys, Monticellos, and
Montpeliers more often than not, Con-
gress was in session until after the
GLORIOUS Fourth and levees and
fetes were oerforce the order Of the
day.
We find almost the first act of Jeffer-
sons administration to be the abolish
ing Of levees and courtly drawing
rooms. except on New Years day and
the Fourth of July; and for these days
he made code Of etiquette differing
essentially from that of the preceding
administration. The style maintained
by Washington was rich and elegant,
and the ievees and receptions were
species of starched assembly surround
ed by a polar atmosphere which ought
to have been rather refreshing than
otherwise on the Fourth of July. On
the national fete day, the commence
nent OF the leVee was announced by
he firing Of a salute from a pair if 70
'ounders stationed not far distant
rom the presidential marsion. and the
eN-comrnander in chief paid his form
er companions in arms the compliment
to wear the old continental uniform.
Guests assembled before O'Clock in
the large parlor prepared for their
stately ceremonial. after which the
president was announced and talked
kindly but resefvedly to all. At these
fetes were to be seen all the beauty, tall
ent and social distinction which the

ABOUT FLOWERS.

The golden rod, which was advocat-
ed some time ago as the national
over of the United States, is emble-
matte of encourag cement.
The ar1oor vitae is indicative of I'M
changing friendship, the symbol be-
ing no doubt suggested by the ever
green of the plant.
The myrtle plant has always been
regarded as an emblem of love. Among
the Greeks and Romans it was planted
in cemeteries.
The box elder is regarded as symbolic
of constancy. 1t is several times thus
alluded to in the lighter English po-
ems of the last century.
The verbena is indicative of sensi-
biity. This plant is said by some nat
uradists to display almost animate rea-
son in choosing its habitat
The monkshood is considered in
Switzerland an emblem of danger 1t
is said that this symbolism abides only
in the Protestant faiths.
The fern is indicative of fascination.
In SaXony the present by "a lover to
his sweetheart of a handful of ferns
is equivalent to a proposal.
The pink is considered in the south
Of France symbolic of pure affection.
Peasant girls along the French Rivi-
era wear pinks at their weddings.
The honeysuckle syYnbolizes a bond
of love. The climbing habit of this
plant, clinging, as it does, to any sup
port, is responsible for the symbolism.
The china aSter is set down in floral
dictionaries as indicative of remem-
brance. 1t is said that the same sig
nif1cance is attached to it by the Che
nese.
In the south of France the handing
Of a sweet pea by young lady to a
young gentleman is a polite way OF
stating that she is tired of his COM
pany.
The red carnation is regarded in
Spain as an emblem of despair There
is tradition in Andalusia that the
flower spraug from the blood of the
Virgin Mary.
The corn tassel is symbolic of riches,
though the low price of the product
during the last few years has deprived
the symbol of much of its former sig
nificance.
The witch hazel, in all parts of
Great Britain is considered as a
magic plant. In many local traditions
it is alluded to as playing a part in,
charms and lamentations.
Among the peasants of Holland the
gift of a straw between lovers is con-
sidered as indicating a hope of con-
cord; finding a broken straw symbol
ICES coming quarrel.
The Venus flytrap is Indicative of
danger. There is no question that this
symbol was originated by the habits
of the flower, it being deadly trap for
small insects.
The deadly nightshade in Italy and
Spain is the emblem of falsehood. It
is probable that the poisonous charac-
ter of the plant had something to do
with the symbolism.
The primrose is in England an en-

1889. Paris and London have always
been exceedingly lavish in this regard
As early as 1891 $4,000 was spent in
London on fireworks to celebrate the
peace of Ryswick. In 1914 an even lar
ger amount was spent to celebrate In
St. James park the Tooth anniversary
of the reigning family; and at a Crys-
tai palace, where fireworks are IRE

But boys may invent many orig1naf
and inexpensive devices to- add to their
Fourth of July pleasures. All sorts
of things for instance may be attach
ed to parachuteS and balloonS; notes
and letters addressed to possible find
ers; comic figures of birds. beasts, f1S1
or men may also be easily attached,
and whole strings of lanterns may be
fastened to a balloon.
HOME MADE FUN.
Mr.. Beard in his Hand Book for
American boys tells how to make a
simple. safe and beautiful pyrotechntc
out of a piece Of wire and Il fuse.
"The fuse can be bought in almost
any city or town. With the wire make
a sort of wheel with two of three
spokes. Cut open the Roman candle,
and extract the powder and balls,
loosely in a piece of tissue paper, and
tie the paper at the ends upon the
spokes of the wheel Run the fuse
spirally around, passing it through
each parcel containing a. ball, and al
low the long end of the fuse to trail
down beneath from the center or side.
To the rim of the wire wheel attach
several wires of equal lengths with
hook ends. Hook these on to the piece
at the mouth of the balloon just be-
fore letting it go. and light the trailing
end Of the fuse. AS the fire creeps
slowly along, the balloon mounts
higher and higher. Suddenly the whole
balloon glows with a red lurid glare.
The fire has reached the first ball In
another instant you see a floating globe
of pale green light, then blue. and so
on until all the balls are consumed. A
shower of bright golden sparks and
other beautiful effects accompany this
simple device.

blem of Inconsistency, The name signi-
fies that it is the prime rose or the first
rose of the spring, this flower opening
before most others.
The. quaking grass and sensitive
plant symbolic agitation, the peculiar
habit possessed by these of trembling
at the slightest touch having no doubt
suggested the symbolism.
In the country districts of southern
England the present OF a. bachelors
button TO an unmarried man is a
strong hint that he ought to change his
condition as soon as possible.

LONGEST LINE IN THE WORLD.
Trolley Road from Washington to
Mt. Vernon Now in Operation.

Trolley Road from Washington to
Mt. Vernon Now in Operation.
The Washington, Alexandria and
Mount Vernon Electric railway, which
at this time is the longest electric line
in the world, is, with the exception of
the ballasting of a piece of track near
Alexandria, Va, completed, and should
nothing unforeseen occur the trial trip
will be made tomorrow. It is expect
ed that a train will then leave the sta
ton in this city and run direct TO the
gate at Mount Vernon. The new road
with the Arlington branch, comprises
twenty -one and three-quarters miles
of track, and is divided into the fol-
lowing sections: One mile in Wash
ington, one mile across Long bridge,
one mile to Arlington Junction, to
Rosslyn four miles; Arlington juno
ton to Alexandria, and from the latter
to Mount Vernon, seven and three
quarter miles. The line from Wash
ington direct to Mount Vernon is seven
teen miles.
The entire work of construction and
equipment has been superintendent by
General Manager Abbott, and he has
made use of every precautlon so Tar
developed in electrical railroading for
rapid transit and safety of passengers.
The whole line is laid with standard
rails and ballaSted with broken stone
such as is used ON all the best steam
railroads in the United States. There
are double feed wires, double trolley
wires, double trolley poles, two power
houses, each doubly equipped with gen
orators, etc, all constructed of the
best material and in the most ap-
proved manner, and, with the view that
should a break occur to any of the
machinery duplicate of it's part could
be at once put into service, thus pre-
venting any delay to- trains. The
movement of all trains will be con-
trolled by telegraph, under the block
system, direct from the general office
in Washington. An abundance of roll
ing stock has been provided to meet
all demands of travel likely to be
made upon the nagement.-Wash-
