.LN SOCIETY.

It Is said that President and Mrs. Mo- Kinley have wrested from Chester A. Ar thur the laurels worn by the successor of Garfield as the finest entertainer who ever graced the white house. During the gay season at the capital the present occupants of the white house proved themselves un- surpassed in the art of entertaining and their triumphs in this respect are conceded even by the most ardent admirers of Pres ident Arthur, conspicuous among whom Is Judge John Davis, of the United States court of claims and president of the Metro politan club of Washington. Judge Davis married Miss Frelinghuyser daughter of President Arthur's secretary of state, and his tribute to the entertainments given by President and Mrs. Mckinley Is entitled 10 all the more weight by reason of his con- nection with both administrations. Washington paper states that ever since the period of mourning for the death of Pres ident Mckinley's mother ceased, there has been a succession of entertainments at the white house, such as no previous admins tration ever equalled. Musicales by the best artists in their profession, feasting and receptions of the most brilliant description have been the order of the day and evenings
 
 and the first lady of the land have reason to be proud of the eminence they have at tained as being the best entertainers who have ever occupied the historic white house, the most enviable place of residence in America.
