and baked and roasted; vegetables 10 be

arranged. The bread used IS also paken
al the White House The steward takes
little part in this preparation, however;
though he superintends all. His task has
been the compilation of the menu, the
choosing of the china aud the settling and
decoration of the table. But as he is res
ponsible for all, he superintends each in
detail.
Setting the Table.
II the number Of guests exceeds fifty,
the table Is spread in the central cor
ridor II less. the State dining room is
used. 1t is interesting 10 note the at
tempts which have been successfully made
to increase the seating capacity of the
State dining room. The original table was
a rectangular affair, seating thrty-six
guests When this became inadequate a
shell was constructed similar in outline
to the figure eight, which, placed atop
the table increased the seating capacity
to fifty.
The number of guests then, controls the
choice of a dining room. During the after
noon the table is prepared and its setting
arranged For this purpose the steward
chooses one of the many sets of china be-
longing to the White House. Each mis-
tress OF the White House has exercised
her inclination in the choice of a service
aud handed it down 10 succeeding admin
istrations as a valuable souvenir of the
makers art during that period. The re-
suit has been the accumulation of half a
score of china services, each fully ade-
duate even for one of the great dinners
given at this day. One of the services in
use to-day was designed and ordered by
Mrs. Lincoln another by Mrs Grant, an
other by Mrs. Harrison; Mrs. Cleveland

old maids in the United States are out
numbered by the bachelors, although it is
peculiarly supposed that the contrary is
the case To come 10 exact figures there
are Z ,427, ,767 bachelors and 3,224,494 spin
sters. This is upon the authority of a
government report Even in Massachu-

constitute a large portion of the popula-
ton, they could each find husband and
then not exhaust the stock of single men;

New York state has 10000 more bachel-
ors than spinsters. Only one state in the
union has more female celibates than male
and that is California, in which there are
SO 456 of the former and 22S29 of the lat

out of an equal number of bachelors and
widowers between 20 and so years of age,
thirty widowers remarry for every thir-
teen bachelors to enter the bonds of hy-
men for the first time.
For every spinster married between 30
and 65 two widows are remarked. Both
facts are eloquent in favor of the COM
narrative advantages of matrimony
In olden times, a tariff of matches was
established in France in which the va

French society were set down as follows:
young woman with a dowry of 1900 to
10000 francs a year was match for
retail trader, a lawyers clerk or a bailiff;
a dowry of 1900 entitled one to aspire to
a dealer in silk, a draper, an innkeeper,
a secretary TO a great lord; one with 10000
francs might look as high as an advocate

Washington, Dec. 2s.--In the season of
state dinners there are two autocrats Of
the White House One is the Presidents
the other his steward. The one proposes;
the other disposes. Though the President
chooses his guests, the steward may cut
down the list. Indeed, it may also be said
that at this season the President surren-
ders his place as head OF the first house
hold OF the land. Before the great Dewey
dinner days were spent pruning the list
OF guests TO the limit prescribed by the
autocrat of the kitchen. Many man of
rank owes his rejection on that occasion,
not to the President but TO the steward,
who declared that juggling with the board
for an eternity would not make space for
one man beyond the seventy-four pro-
fded for. The White House now has
two kitchens, a private dining room, a
state dining room and the great corri-
dor for emergencies. In this new kitchen
