Reward.

The less you require looking after,
the more able you are to stand alone
and complete your tasks, the greater
your reward. Then If you cannot only
do your work, but direct intelligently
and effectively the efforts of others.
your reward is in exact ratio. and the
more people you direct. and the higher
the intelligence you can rightly lend,
the more valuable is your life.-Elbert

When all the facts in the case are

president was merely the act of 9

Simplicity and Elegance.

Washington, who delighted In such
matters. gave much time to the ar
rangement Of code Of etiquette for
the presidents household and social
functions. In this he was ably sec
onded by Mrs Washington. whose vir.
ginia training in social matters stood
her In good stead
The president held a levee every
Tuesday afternoon. Of formal char
acter, at which he merely bowed to
the persons presented to him. without
any Handwriting.
On Friday evenings Mrs. Washing
ton gave areception, when the presi
ddent chose to be present as "a pri
vate gentleman" mingling with the
guests informally and talking on any
topic that was congenial to him.
His costume on one Of these occa
sions was described as including q
"fancy-colored coat and waistcoat and
black small clothes, without hat OF
sword" At his own levees he wore
"a black velvet coat and breaches. his
hair In full dress, powdered and gath.
cred behind In silk bag; yellow
gloves, and holding cooked hat with
I a cockade on 1t. and the edge
adorned with q black feather about an

This may be accepted as correct
dress for the period. as Washington
knew the fashions as well as any man
of his time.
Both President and Mrs. Washing
ton liked to give dinners. Some were
lssmall and nlain. and nthera move a!=h-

the occasion. The dinner hour In
New York was four o'clock.
Once a week state dinner was
