Mrs. Adams next residence. She became pre-
siding lady of the first American legation in
Great Britain-alas and alack, what empty
honor The English were smartng under the
humiliation of losing the colonies. The king
and queen were civil to the point of boorsh-
ness, the people arrogant and insulting the
press scurrilous and abusive, the nobility in
absolute ignorance OF the new nation across
the ocean. Mrs. Adams declared that Mr.. Pitt
and Lord Carmarthen were the only two men
in England who seemed to have liberal ideas
concerning America. When, after a three
years stay in Grosvenor square, Mr.. Adams
recalled to become vice-president of the
United States, Mrs Adams, in commenting on
their coming departure, says, Some years
hence 1t may be pleasant to reside here in the
character of American minister; but with the
present servity and the present temper of
the English need envy the embassy"
To New York City Mrs Adams next moved
her household goods. The vice-president's
residence was Richmond Hill mansion, once
the headquarters of Gen. Washington. Mrs.
Adams was delighted with the situation OF
her new home. The city has stretched for
miles to the north of this spot, now Varick
and Charlton streets, but Mrs. Adams wrote
that Richmond Hill was mile and half from
New York. Wandering through the neighbor
hood Of Varick street. with its Trinity tene
ments, and over to the shipping activity Of
West street and the Hudson river, one finds
1t hard to realize that here were once fields
beautifully variegated with grain and grass
to a great extent like the valley of Honton in
Devonshire" These fields to the right
OF the mansion and continuing her descrp-
ton Mrs. Adams writes Upon my left the
city opens to view, intercepted here and there
by rising ground and an ancient oak In the
back is a large flower garden, enclosed with
hedge and some handsome trees. Venerable

Nor did Mrs. Adams put off the vist-she
went the next week.
Oh for the era Of motor cars and good
roads! Poor Mrs. Adams is appalled, by the
time required to pay calls in the wilderness
city. Her nearest neighbor is Mrs. Otis, the
senator's mother, who lives half mile from
the White House and many OF the ladies' are
in Georgetown, three and four miles apart.
Freight transportation, too. has It's vexations.
Mrs. Adams laments. "The vessel which has
my clothes and other matter has not arrived.

To add to her distress she had no mirrors. nor
twentieth part lamps enough to light the
house. In moving, many OF her things have
been broken stolen, her precious china set.

half missing-How did the lady ever preserve
a cheerful countenance and merry heart!
Yet. in spite OF all inconvenience, Presi-
dent and Mrs. Adams gave their New Years
reception at the White House In 1901, thereby
establishing a custom that has since been fol-
lowed on the first of every January. Mrs. Ad-
ans used for drawingroom what Is now the
library In entertaining she endeavored to
keep up the standard set by the Washing
tons. The first lady Of the White House dis
pensed her hospitality with lavish hand and
was particularly proSi5 of the showing made
by the ladies at her levee. She declared,
while In England, that the beauties nj the
court of st. James the duchess of Deyonshire,
the countess Of Salisbury and Lady Talbot,
had formidable rivals In Mrs. Bingham. Mrs.
Phelps and Miss Hamilton Mrs. Adams was
especially happy to welcome Mrs. Bingham to

THE ESKIMO'S PIPE

The pipes used by the Eskimos are quite
different from those of any other North Ameri-
can race and in the shape Of the bowl more
resemble the opium pipes used by the Chinese
than anything else. The old pipes were very
small in the amount Of tobacco that they
would hold.
There was therefore, a wide. naring mar
gin to the pipe to catch any grains of tobacco
was hollow which would hold pinch Of
tobacco half as large as an ordinary pea and
a rather wide hole passing down through the
base Of the bowl which fitted into the pipe
stem. The bowl of the pipe was of ivory,
stone, brass or copper.
The pipe-stem was curved and had mouth.
piece. 1t is said that the small hole running
down through the base Of the bowl and into
the pipestem was usually plugged with carl.
bou hair to save any grains OF tobacco that
might otherwise have passed down through
this aperture and so be lost. The smoking of
such a pipe would not last long and we may
presume that very few draws would exhaust
Il. The smoke was OF course taken into the
lungs.
The Eskimos are known to be extremely
skillful in the representation Of scenes and
objects, while the Indians of Queen Charlottes
sound and generally all the natives of the
northwest coast OF America are famous for
their carving in wood and In black slate.
Handsomely carved Eskimo pipes Of walrus
ivory from northwestern Alaska have on each
side of the pipe, that Is to say. on four mol ,
