The Lady of the White House is the
wife of the President, not his sister,
nor his daughter, nor his daughter-in-
law, nor any relative whom he may
choose to act as hostess for him; but
his wife
The law establishes the status of
the Lady Of the White House by
awarding her, in the event of her
widowhood, a pension of five thousand
dollars a year and the ranking priv
ilege. There are now only two ladies
receiving this pension, Mrs. Garfield
and Mrs. Grover Cleveland. Mrs.
BENJAMIN Harrison receives no pen
sion or other gratuity from the Gov
eminent, because she was not the
wife of President Harrison during his
term of office. She was then Mrs.
Dimmock, and the niece of the first
wife of President Harrison. The first
Mrs. Harrison died at the White House
in the autumn of 1892.
1t was remembered by the supersti-
tious that a singular accident occurred
on the day that Mr.. and Mrs Harrison
received the formal notification at Ia
dianapolis of Mr. Harrisons nomina.
ton The members of the National
Committee and a number of invited
guests were in the drawing room of
the Harrison home at Indianapolis,
when Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison descended
the stairs to meet them. AS Mrs.
Harrison reached the bottom of the
staircase, she suddenly swayed for
ward without any apparent cause, and
fell full length upon the floor She
was not injured, and rose Immediately
and laughed at the fears of the SUI
perstitious; but her health gave way
soon after she entered the White
House, and she did not live out Presi-
dent Harrison's term.
The Lady of the White House is en-
.compassed by many rigid rules of Ell.
.quette-and etiquette means good
sense applied to small things She
must not accept general invitations,
and, outside of the Cabinet circle, can
not attend a formal dinner in Wash
Iington. Away from Washington, she
may dine with anybody she likes. In
Washington she may, once in a great
while, go to an informal entertain
ment. Mrs. Cleveland, during hel
eight years in the White House, went
two or three times to teas given by
irelatives or close friends, Mrs. Har

A happier future is ahead Of the

not sufficient to develop child SYM

only a form of ignorance, has ruined

A NEW JUMPER

Blessed be the one who invented
the jumper. 1t serves such a multi
tude of needs; it fits in with so many
occasions. me newest one is quite
smart and looks so different from the
ones we have had that it could easily
be passed off under a new name.
1t is not round at the neck, nor does
it have kimono sleeves; it is V-shaped
back and front, and its two fronts
cross over just above the waist anC

1t is worn over a blouse Of dotted
net or shadow lace, which is either
unlined or dropped over a slip of fest

TO CLEAN JEWELRY

Provide yourself with an old tooth
brush and soft brush such as jew
elers use, a bottle of grain alcohol and
a box of jeyelers' sawdust. You will
also need a soft cloth, a piece of plain
chamois, and another piece of ordi-
nary chamois thoroughly impregnated
with rouge powder A few additional
small bits of chamois are also nece3-
sary for polishing Then provide two
dishes of lukewarm suds, made with
fine white soap and your outfit is COM
plete.
First work on your plain, bright gold
jewelry, or other material, which re-
quires a high polish Rub gently but
thoroughly with the rouge chamOis
until you bring it up to a brilliant
polish. Next select the gold articles,
which look most difficult to you, put
them in the suds, and scour thoroughly
with the toothbrush. Practically all
the dirt should come off in this pro.
cess.
when completed, rinse in a second
suds to clean still better Then dip
in alcohol and give a further brush
ing. Then dry carefully on soft
cloth and drop into the sawdust and
rub about until they show a bright
luster With the jewelers. brush re-
move every particle of sawdust and
give the articles the degree Of polish
they ought to have, using the soft
brush and the plain Chamois for this
purpose. The rouge chamois is the
highest polisher, but it can be used
only before an article has been wash
ed because it leaves rouge powder OF

All precious stones, except the pear

Take from the fire, pour into small
jars and let stand uncovered over
night. Then cover with paraffin. This
makes a beautiful, jelly-like marina

kernels are sifted out Pour over the
corn some hot taffy then work lightly
with the tips of your buttered fingers
until all the kernels slightly adhere to
each other. This can be nodded into

rooms and oyster liquor and add
enough cream to make two cupfuls.
