PRESIDENTS PERoUIsiTEs.

France Far from Liberal with Her Chief
Executive.
France, which assumes the respon-
sibility of furnishing the president
with his household needs, is not par
ticularly lavish in this respect The
highest representative of the republic
receives free his heat. light, kitchen
utensils, linen. porcelain and glass
ware and a certain sum of money to
defray expenses of wear and tear. He
is entitled to eight damask table,
cloths, one dozen each of spoons,
knives and forks. For company there
are added three more sets of about
eighty pieces. Then there is special
service of 10 pieces. These, however.
are used only 90 special occasions. The
allowance Of bed clothing would not
suffice for an American housewife. He
receives four towels for himself and
six for his family; these are not
changed more than once in eight days
unless he makes special requisition for
more. He is also the lucky possessor
of 12O dozen dinner napkins and thirty
dozen for tea service. His household
retinue consists of one housekeeper,
one chef, five cooks, four ushers, eight
lackeys. six clerks, one overseer and
one coachman. The president has to
provide his own private equipages. as
he is entitled only to three vehicles.
one for travelling, one to receive guests
in and one for his messengers.
