Strife Under Monroe.

The new White House was thrown open
in 1918, when Monroe was President, hav-
ing been rebl lit after it's obstruction by
the British DIT ring Madisons administra-
ton. The social life of the White House
during the administration Of Mon
roe was marked chiefly by the strife be-
tween Mrs Hay, a daughter of the Presi-
dent and members of the diplomatic
corps Mrs. Hay laid down strict rules OF
etiquette, which offended the diplomats.
When Andrew Jackson came to the
White House the elegance which mad
been manifested during the adminiStra-
tons of Adams and Monroe was forgot
ten, and the simplicity of the days of
jefferson was in evidence. He gave a
public reception at the White House the
night of his Inauguration, which resulted
in a riot, about 10000 persons crowding
into the house. The people fought for
food, broke thousands of dollars worth Of
china. and almost wrecked the White
House.
There was plenty OF excitement so far
as social matters were concerned during
the Jackson administration. He appoint

much in the public eye. The wives of the
other cabinet officers absolutely refused
to receive Mrs Eaton or to have anything
to do with her. The President tried to
force the women to take up the pretty
Peggy, but without avail, and finally the
trouble caused the disruption of his cabi-
net. Later Senator Eaton was sent as
American minister to Spain. There his

Decorations and Furnishings.
Since 1870 the White House has been
redecorated and refurnished frequently,
according to the tastes of the times
and within the limits of annual ap-
preparations. varying from $4,000 to
100000. Until 1902 the sums available
have never been sufficient to accom-
plish thorough reconstruction. Re-

has now been restored to what 1t was
planned to be by Washington. In max
ing the restoration, the utmost care
has been exercised to come as near
as possible to the early plans and to
supplement these plans by a careful
study of such buildings as that or
the University OF Virginia. which was
built by Jefferson The White House Is
the property of the nation. and so far

the same reason that we keep Mount

such buildings as historic monuments

With the incoming of democratic ad-

years. Washingtonians are naturally in
terested in what effect the newcomers
will have on the social life of the capital
The part that former democratic adj
ministratiOns PLAYED in society here is be-
ing recalled. The Cleveland administra-
tons were both brilliant from social
standpoint. The President and Mrs.
Cleveland~s a new record for the num-
Der of entertainments at the White House
and for their; briliance. The members
of the Cleveland cabinets were noted
for their lavish entertaining. William
G. Whitney, Secretary of the Navy under
Cleveland, gave dinners receptions and
balls which were magnificent. Secretary
of War Endicott and Mrs. Endicott also
made a national reputation for the SPLEEN
dor OF their entertainments. Mrs. Daniel
Manning was one of the most charming
of hostesses during the administration
of Cleveland

Others in White House.

Other democratic administrations
were those of Jefferson. Monroe. Jack
son. Van Buren,. Tyler, Polk and Pierce.
Jefferson is looked upon as the patron
saint of the present democratic party,
though in those days he was called
republican The federalists were the
opposition party. John Quincy Adams
claimed to be republican" like JET
ferson, but, as matter of fact. MS
principles were those of the federalists.
and the opposition to his adm1nistra-
ton elected his successor and took-the
name of democrats.
Jeffersonian simplicity has become
byword Although Jefferson liked fine
horses good clothes on occasion, and
lived well, he was all for republican sim
plicty in his entertainments and his
treatment of guests at the White House
He greatly offended some of his foreign
ministers by the offhand manner in which
he treated them when they called at the
White House, receiving them in whatever
costume he happened to have on, whether
fitting, in the eyes OF the diplomats, or
not. He was responsible for the elimina-
ton of the ball which was always given
the night of the Presidents birthday. He
also did away with the big levees which
had been held at the White House. or
Presidents house, as it was then called,
by his predecessors. His two daughters.
Mrs. Randolph and Mrs John Eppes,
helped him receive his guests on Few
occasions, but they were seldom in Wash
ington and it devolved upon the charm
ing Dolly Madison, wife of his Secretary
of State james Madison, to preside at the
White Hou.'e.

Precedents Broken.

In those days, however the President
and his wife did not attend nearly as
many dinners and other entertainments
outside Of the White House as have Pres
ident and Mrs. Taft, during the last four
years, or as was the custom of former
President Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt
In fact it was the Roosevelts who hrst
broke down the hard and fast rule that
the President and his wife should attend
only those dinners given by members OF
the cabinet outside of the White House.
When President Cleveland first came TO
to enter the White House ne
was unmarried. With him came Miss
Rose Elizabeth Cleveland. a sister OF the
President, to rule as first lady of the
land in the White House. She proved
herself gracious hostess. The first in

office was that given at Cleveland's first
Inauguration. The retiring President

honor of his successor

Weddings at Mansion.

Two weddings took pace in the White
House during the Jackson administra-
tons one was that of Miss Easten, Il
niece of the President, TO Mr. Polk of
Tennessee and the other was that of
Miss Lewis of Nashville, Tenn, to NJ.
Paqueol, who was afterward minister
from France to this country.
When Van Buren, came into the White
House all was changed, and the enter
tanning went on in much more lavish
way. He spent many thousands of dol
lars on the building and grounds, and for
this was criticised vigorously.
John Tyler was another democratic
President who was married while he was
in office. The wedding, however. did not
take place in the White House. The
President went to New York to wed Miss
Julia Gardiner. daughter Of Senator
Gardiner. Her father had been killed in
an explosion of a big gun aboard the
Princeton. one of the navy vessels, while
President Tyler. members of his cabinet
and other high officials were taking a trip
on her. Many others were killed. but the
President had been in the cabin and
and assumed good deal of state in her
entertainments at the White House. She
received her guests seated upon a chair
placed on a platform. She drove four
horses to her carriage.

Polk Mrs Polk frowned upon dancing
cards, etc, and while she was known as
gracious and dgnified hostess and gave
the usual state dinners and receptions
the White House WAS not AS gay as it
had been i'll the past
The administration of President Pierce
also ii democrat, was dull socially. Mrs.
Pierce has been described as placidly dig
nifed. The President and his wife had
"a great sorrow just before the start of
the administration. Their only son was
killed in railway accident, his mother
being present, a few weeks before
Pierces inauguration.
