during the later days of Roosevelt
When Washington society in the
first administration of Mr.. Lincoln re-
fused to be placated with the occupant
of the White House for being there.
MIR. Seward. who had thrown diplom-
attic and consular appointments around
among the old families with lavish
hand, urged the president to consent to
an evening reception. Mr.. Lincoln yield
cd good naturedly, and all the "frSt
families" applied for invitH;ons, which
Mr.. Lincoln whimsically termed
| passes"
There was no incident connected
with court usage at that reception with
which customs at the White IIo,lst.
under Mr.. Roosevelt can be compared.
but there was an occurrence which
would be impossible now under the
present complete system in vogue in
the kitchen. A supper had been pro-
vidcd ana it had been ordered from
the most expensive caterer i'm New
York, and when the hour of eleven had
arrived and supper was announced all
the guests moved toward the door of
the dining room. The door remained
closed 1t was found that the nustcrcd
steward had mislaid the key There
was a long delay, during which the
.rl1nStc ahOfrn1
finally the key was found and the
guests were fed.
Generally speaking, the New Years
receptions of the presidents have not
greatly differed from the days of
buchanan until the present day. The
only innovations have been introduced
by President Roosevelt. The diplomats
are still received rs formerly, first
and after them the supreme court, the
army and the navy and congress, and
then the doors are thrown open and
the whole world is free to come in and
shake hands. with the president.
The president and his wife have
been assisted in receiving by the
women of the cabinet, and these have
ranged themselves, according to pre-
cedencc. in a long line. Back of them
have stood, as sort of receiving party
personal friends Of the president, tC
whom he desired to show some little
distinction. The ambassadors went out
into the East room, where they mingled
with the other callers.
The first change to be made by the
ROosclvelts was to have the ambass;l.
doris and other diplomats of distinction
pass back Of the receiving line and join
the receiving party. This was for the
purpose Of ending the seemingly never
ending strife between the diplomats
and the supreme court as to who
should go first.
1t was conceded that the diplomats
had the Fright Of way" so to speak
but the venerable justices were never
satisfied, so it was decided to make the
Ambassadors part Of the receiving
party.
Another change that has been made
has been to abolish the long line of
other receiving women. These women
were compelled to stand in the line
shaking hands with the callers for
hours, and it was very trying and
wearing, especially as most Of them
had their own receptions to conduct in
the afternoon.

dOAy SerVeu ufSC OUT OF respect Tor MS
rank as chief executive of the state
The theory is that it was the governor
that was being served and not Theo-
dore Roosevelt; just as the theory now
is that it is the president of the
United States who is being served and
not Theodore Roosevelt.
Official and social regulations at the
White House as to matters OF prece-
dence were attended to in recent years
by the late Major Pruden. When
Major Pruden died these matters were
left very largely to the state depart
ment when they involved foreign per-
sonages, but now they are largely in
the hands Of Major McCawley and
Miss Belle Hagner, the social secretary
of the White House.
The president, except when on Il
tour, never accepts courtesies from
persons other than his cabinet. There
are nine members of the cabinet, and
consequently the president will dine
outside of the White House nine times
this winter. Each cabinet officer will
select his guests other than the presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt from outside
of the cabinet circle. This is an inno-
vation. Hitherto no one except the
cabinet circle appeared at these din
ners, and they met so often that they
got tired Of seeing one another.
Each proposed list of guests for
these dinners this winter will be sub
mitted to the president and Mrs.
Roosevelt for their inspection before
the invitations are issued. If there
are any persons who are deemed un-
desirable their names will be stricken
from the list.
This is prerogative that the presi-
dent has had by a sort of unwrittcn
law for a great many years. President
Buchanan exercised it during his term,
even to the extent of declining to send
invitations to persons in official sta.
ton whose office entitled them to an
invitation. The ground ON which this
prerogative would be exercised would
be that the individual had by some act
of discourtesy, in the opinion Of the
president, rendered such an invitation
improper.
So, too, President Roosevelt now,
as in President Buchanan's day, as
serts the right to ignore any member
Of congress who has been guilty of a
discourtesy although officially entitled
to attend the dinner.
When Senator Benjamin F. Tillman
struck his colleague, NIcLaurin, on the
floor of the senate an invitation had
already been sent to him to the dinner
to Prince Henry of Prussia as the
ranking member of the committee on
naval affairs. The president ordered
the invitation recalled.
The custom is being recognized more
and more Of regarding an invitation or
summons Of any kind to the White
House as command. This, of course,
is borrowed from royalty. President
Mckinley invited Senator Pratt, of
New York, to the White House near
the end of his first term to meet a
distinguished company at dinner. Sen
ator Platt did not go. When he was
asked why he pleaded that he had a
previous engagement. But so far as
known no person since Mr.. Roosevelt
has been president has pleaded any

reason other than illness for declin-
ing an invitation to dinner or luncheon,
and, indeed, there is little doubt that
if a plea Of previous engagement
were made now the president would
resent it. 80 -~-.-,e-,.
This custom of regarding an invita-
tion to the White House as a command
has caused some curious commotions
in Washington society. 1t was that
which resulted in the wrecking of the
dinner party Of Miss Carolyn Postle-
thwaite. A few minutes before the
time set for her own dinner party Miss
POstletllwate received telephone
message asking her to come to the
White House. She was probably want
ed to fill out Il seat at dinner to take
the place of some guest who had been
taken suddenly ILL., Miss Postlcthwaitc
was thoughtful for minute and then,
standing not Oh the order Of her going,
went at once, leaving her mother to
entertain her guests and explain as
best she could.
| So, too, with the dinner of Mrs
Southerland, which went to smash this
week. Mrs. Switzerland had arranged
Il dinner to Secretary Of the Navy and
Mrs. Morton. Without them it would
be no dinner. On three days notice
the president arranged a little dime,
party which was quite an informal af-
fair and invited Secretary and Mrs
Morton. The secretary and his wife
declined Mrs. Southerland's invitation
and Mrs. Switzerland recalled her in.
yitations.
Even the French ambassador had to
call off dinner on one days notice
because he had been hidden to the
White House.
The rules of the White House in
connection with receptions will un
doubtedly be more strictly enforced
this year than ever. Those governing
reporters are very strict. They are re
quired to stand in a given place, and
it must be confessed that they are at
a disadvantage. One Of the reporters
last winter, Miss Margaret Wade, OF
the Washington Post, declined to stand
where she had been told to because
her work was interfered with by Other
! women spectators, who were not prac
! ticing the newspaper vocation. Fol
l this she was excluded from the White
House and has not been there since
nor would she be admitted if she ap
! piled. A singular complication now
arises from the fact that Miss Wade
has been appointed social secretary tC
Mrs. Fairbanks, wife of the vice presi
dent.
When Captain Cowles, a brothcr-in
law Of the president, was the prcsi
dents aid at the White House he insti
! tuted the rule Of having everybody
arise when the president entered the
room and remain standing until the
! president was seated. On one OCCASION
at musicale or tea, he endeavorcd to
put this into effect. Many of the women
openly rcbclled, and Captain Cowlcs
had to desist in his efforts to have that
respect shown to the president which
common custom here has regarded as
due his station.
1t is interesting to note that tho
, troubles Of the state Department with
the White House receptions were quite
as prominent in the days of Lincoln a.

Moanalua last night resulted in in

lies at the queens Hospital ana is
reported to be lowering between life

was the result of a long quarrel be-

The wounded man received about
twenty cuts and decorations in the

one ear was almost torn off. He was
in ? pitiable state when All Lam was

pifFerential Rate Abolished.

1t is rumored that the new contract
between the Hawaiian Sugar Planters
Association and the American Sugar
Refining CO. is without the differential
clause, whereby sugar shipped to San
Francisco should be sold tc the trust
at tpree-eighths of cent a pound be-
low the New York quotation of the
day of arrival. If the rumor is correct
it means $3.50 ton more for Hawaiian
sugar marketed in San Francisco. The
purpose of a differential rate was to
equalize prices on the two sides of the
continent A certain proportion of the
sugar in the compact has been shipped
around Cape Horn, and some railroad
ed from San Francisco to Atlantic
ports.
