CHARM OF DOLLY MADISON.


To define the charm OF charming
woman is always difficult. Dolly Mad
isons features were not regular, nor
was her figure perfect. She was not
witty. nor was she wise. and she par.
ticipated little, if at all, in her hus-
bands intellectual life. Nevertheless
she stands out as the greatest of all
mistresses of the White House, and
her popularity was unbounded. She
ruled over her world in Washington
with genial good nature and instinct.
i've tact. Her nature was warm, at-
fectionate and impressionable. She
loved life and people and her world
loved her. Her brilliant colorinc, an
imated face and well.rounded figure
went with cordial manner and sym
pathy for those about her amounting
to genius. and she was always ready
to bubble into laughter.
Who could resist such woman, the
wife of a President? She was the
center of observation at the inaugural
ball, but she would have been the
center of obs walton at any ball. even
If she had not been the presidents
wife. She had. in fact, ruled as in.
disputably over the little boarding
house in Philadelphia kept by her
mother, when she was the Widow
Todd, as she did over the White
House as Mrs. Madison.-Century
