Personal Appearance of the chnrm-
ing American Women Who Have
Ruled the White House.

OF mistresses of the white house one
OF the most popular was Mrs. James h.
Po.k. Like Mrs. Cleveland, she was
a brunette, and of fine presence; it was
often remarked that not a crowned
head in Europe could queen it more
royalty than the wife of the republican
president. Poets penned verses in her
honor. and on the last Sunday of her

dressed her from the pulp. She was
treated with great distinction, and aft
er leaving the white house was visited
every New Years day by the legislature
in body.
Mrs. George Washington also had
dark hazel eyes and brown hair. She

Andrew jackson for her amiable tenn
per and kind heart. Mrs. Martin Van
Buren,, who died before her husband be-

gentle disposition.
The first Mrs. Tyler was one Of the

person and character. The second Mrs
Tyler was the first woman TO marry a
president. Before her marriage she
was, for the one season she spent there
the belle OF Washington.
A sparkling brunette was Mrs. Will
liam Henry Harrison. She was very

Mrs. Thomas jefferson was remark
able for her beauty. Her complexion
was brilliant; her large, expressive eyes
of"the richest tinge of auburn" Alittle
above medium weight, she was slightly
and delicately formed. She danced

chord and rode with great skin.

A blond OF rare beauty was Mrs. Mil

whiteness and auburn hair. She was
quite tall, with fine figure and OF com
manding presence. She is ranked with
the wives OF the two Adamses as n
learned woman. and IL was through her
that her husband asked for and OBJ
tanned an appropriation Of congress 10

that time there had been a Bible there,
and little more.
Another woman OF rare beauty was
Mrs. Franklin Pierce. She also had
many accomplishments. She was very
refined and quiet, stunning society.
Mrs. Abraham Lincoln as a girl was

Of the white house she was flair and
