OLD PRovIDENTIAL WAYS.
White House Entertainments and
Dinners That Were Much Like
Home Affairs

1t has been charged that Jefferson
banished courtly laws and introduced
stumbling manners. When the Madi-
sons took his place they sought to es-
ia blish the old order of affairs. The
white house was gay with dances,
dinners, levees and garden parties.
Some unllind diplomat has recorded
Mistress Dolly's dinners as being
more like harvest home suppers than
affairs of state. There certainly was
home-like air about Mrs. Madison's
effairs. 1t was during the Madison
regime that the custom of making
calls at private houses on New Years
day was inaugurated at the capital.
1t still survives there, in spite of the
fact that other social centers have
voted it plebeian, says the National
Magazine. Jackson's reign is asso-
ciated with the merriest, maddest
scenes the white house has ever
known. The fame of his plebeian
suppers bids fair to rival Washing
tons little Ratchet. While his guests
smoked costly cigars he blew whiffs
from his corncob pipe, whitfield by his
own hand. His lavish entertainments
ate deep inroads in his salary. and it
was his constant worry that his cot
ton crop would fail and leave him I'M
able to meet his expenses.

TOUCHING A CHINAMAN.
Queer Fad Recently Developed
Among the Women of New Or
leans to Bring Good Luck.

"The habit of touching a Chinaman
has developed into a regular fad with
the women" said bright young wom-
an the other day, reports the New Or
leans Times-Democrat, land it would
really surprise you to know how many
women are rushing around trying to
gently brush the clothes of a China
man while passing him on the street.
1t gives one good luck, you know. 1t
helps one to realize ones wish in life,
and gives sort of impetus to good
fortune. At least the habit women
now have of touching a Chinaman, as
they call it, is based on this legendary
idea. Of course, they do it playfully.
They even giggle when they do it, and
seem to get world of fun out of it.
Il saw young girl at one of the
railroad stations a few evenings ago
figure in a rather embarrassing Incl
dent on account of her ambition and
her effort to touch a Chinaman. The
oriental had drifted into the station
and was evidently bent on an out-of-
town trip, and he was going at a rath-
er rapid rate, probably fearing that he
would miss his train. AS soon as the
girl spied him she jumped up and made
a quick dart, evidently for the pur-
pose of crossing the Chinaman's path
at certain point and just brushing
him as he passed. OF course, she
would not dare to look at the China
man. Here is probably where she
made a mistake. At any rate, either
the girl or the Chinaman erred. Both
were walking rapidly, and each seemed
to be Indifferent to the course of the
other. She touched the Chinaman all
right, and if the good luck incident to
the lack of touching is measured by
the vigor and force of the touch, good
fortune ought to shower on her whole
family. 1t was fierce collision. The
girl was embarrassed, and from the
capers cut by the Chinaman he evil
IDENTIFY thought a freight train had
hit him.
"Yes, indeed, this business of touch
ing a Chinaman is a regular fad now.
and if you see a girl rushing wildly
and aimlessly down the street, watch
her and see if she doesn't brush the
clothes of Monaghan gently in pass
ing"
