Mckinley on his right at state dinners
instead OF across the table from him,
and at diplomatic dinners Lady Paunce-
fote sat at his left. This innovation
was caused by the invalidism of the
First Lady and her desire to have her
husband close to her in case of illness.
It was in the Roosevelt administra-
ton that the State Department code of
precedence had another eruption. and
Chief Justice Fuller. arriving at the
White House ready to be received by
the President and thereby open the
judicial reception, found the Ambassa-
doris and their wives there to precede
him. He held controversy on the
subject and threatened to leave the
White House without being received by
the President. The matter was adjusted
by the Ambassadors passing into the
blue room without stepping in line, and
the Chief Justice won his point by being
first received when the President and
Mrs Roosevelt assumed their positions.
The Speaker of the House. the late
Joseph Cannon, raised the point Of
precedence, and it was on his account
that the Speakers dinner was added
to the list of White House state func-
tons.
Society Is still wrangling over the
bugaboo, but the State Department
while feeling several lame spots in its
social structure, juggles the code to
keep down open ruction. That Is what
Mr.. Dunn, master of ceremonies OF the
White House, has to do.

TAFT ENJOYS HONOR
UNIQUE IN u. S. HISTORY
Is Only Former President to Swear
In Executive as Chief
Justice.

When Chief Justice Taft on March 4
administered the oath of Office to Her
bert Hoover he had, for the second
time, a distinction that no other man
In the entire history of the Nation has
had, the privilege as Chief Justice OF
swearing in a President. He swore in
President Coolidge four years ago..
The Inauguration is much more than
an official duty for the Chief Justice.
It recalled the stormy day. 20 years
ago, when he himself stood in the same
place. before a huge throng, and also
swore to preserve, protect and defend
the Constitution.
Only in Government such as ours
could there be found such strange
events and backgrounds incidental to
the installation of a Government head.
After MIR. Taft stepped from the presi-
Dental chair in 1913, he became pri-
waite citizen. In 1921, upon the death
OF Chief Justice White, he was ap-
pointed Chief Justice by President
Harding. Four years later he swore
Calvin Coolidge into the highest ONCE
in the gift Of the American people,
which he himself had previously held.

isters invitation. he would do so. A
son, who had been private secretary to
President Washington, and the word
was conveyed back that President
Washington had never INDUCED in such
a pleasure.
The President gol No. But why not
the Presidents wife? The invitation
was extended to Mrs. Monroe, but she
said, according to Mr.. Adams, she did
not think it proper for her to go any
place where it was not proper for her
husband to go. So she, too, declined.
Mrs. Hay, the Presidents daughter. had
been at dagger's points with the diplo-
matte ladies on the subject of calling
and she had to do some deep thinking.
She discussed the matter with her
mother. They sent for the Secretary of
State and informed him that Mrs. Hay
would attend the party at the particular
request of her father. the President,
but that no attention was to be paid to
her rank, and 1t was in no wise to
affect the visiting code. It was just at
this time that Mrs. Monroe told Mr..
Adams that the ladies Of some of the
Senators did not visit her because she
did not return calls.
Trouble Over Dinner.
Mr.. Monroe gave dinner to the
diplomatic corps, and to do away with
the wrangling of his cabinet invited
a few lesser officials and those out of
oficial life. The diplomats objected
and wished the Secretary of State to be
invited. 1t was considered slight to
the Secretary of State to be omitted
from the list. Mr.. Adams, who had
become grand master of ceremonies as
we'll as the Secretary of State, advised
the President on such occasions as dip
lomatic dinners to invite him and one
other cabinet minister. This worked
pretty we'll, or at least there were no
more open ructions on the subject.
Then the ladies of the Capital were
cool toward Mrs. Monroe, and 1t Is re-
corded that only five females, and three
of those were foreigners, attended one
of Mrs. Monroe's drawing rooms and at
another time only two ladies bent sufi-
GENTLY to attend. However, in the sec
ond administration of Mr.. Monroe the
social friction gradually wore away.
President Adams. No. 2, had the
satisfaction of seeing his social Secre-
tary work put into practice in his own
administrations, and dignity marked his
four years residence in the White
House. He had, however, the supreme
dissatisfaction of seeing all of his work
undone by his successor, Gen. Andrew
Jackson, who not only turned the public
loose in the White House, transform
Ing receptions Of State into events where
mobs ran riot, but completely upsetting
the tranquility of his cabinet, the dip
lomatic corps and society in general by
championing the cause of pretty Peggy
O'Neil, daughter of an innkeeper,
whom his Secretary Of State. John H.
Eaton. married. The President gave
them all the choice of accepting the
lovely Peggy or staying away from the
White House Many accepted the latter
alternative, at least for a time.
And then followed Martin Van Buren,,

% Presidents
Lawyers, But Not
All i'm Practice

Twenty-three of the men who
have been chosen Presidents of
the United States have been
lawyers, although all Of them did
not make their living at that
profession.
President Madison was a lawyer
and a planter with independent
means. Monroe was lawyer and
a soldier. Arthur was a lawyer
and a teacher. Roosevelt Is not
remembered as a lawyer. but he
graduated in law. His fame be-
fore he became President rested
chiefly on his success as a soldier
and Governor of New York.
Wilson is recalled as the president
of Princeton University and
historian prior to his entrance
into public life. but he, too, was
a lawyer.
Washington, although he was
the most famous farmer Of his
day. Is remembered more as a
general who led the ragged Con-
tinental Army to victory and for
his craftsmanship. President
Taylor entered the Army as a
youth and was a typical soldier
President. So was Grant. who
was a graduate of West Point.
One President, william Henry
Harrison, was both a physician
and a soldier.
Andrew johnson was a tailor
before he entered public life.
Warren g.. Harding was a
newspaper publisher.
Herbert Clark Hoover is unique
among American Presidents since
he devoted almost his entire
career to engineering and finan-
cial organization before his cleo
ton.

Six were residents of Ohio

tion." as the plain people dubbed it be-
cause Congress was asked to appropri-
ate $4,000 for refurnishing the Execu-
tive Mansion. President Van Buren,
imported chef from London and start
ed giving sumptuous dinners. He sus-
pended the open house of many Of his
predecessors and curtailed levees open
to the public to simply one-that on
New Year day. Great form and cere-
mony obtained, and his daughter-in-
law, Mrs. Van Buren,, wife of Maj Van
Buren,, who made her first appearance
before the public as bride at the New
Year reception, 1888. became the mis-
tress of the mansion. She revived the
custom established by Mrs. Madison Of
having the guests announced.
James Buchanan and his handsome
niece tried their hands at reforming a
somewhat mixed code of etiquette in
the White House, their most fragrant
move being on New Year day, 1858,
when they attempted to pay due re-
spect to diplomats and give to officials
a recognition of their rank. Diplomats
were to be received by the President at
IL o'clock, justices of the Supreme
Court at 80, Army and Navy at HAS
and the public at II o'clock. The po-
lice were put in charge to see the order
carried out and assist in arranging the
guests for presentation. This dictation
so incensed many OF the visitors that
they left without seeing the President
at all. To turn the Presidents draw
ing room into a businesslike transaction
was exceedingly offensive, but the order
remained, giving greater comfort In the
administration. The President also took
matters into his own hands and at
tended social affairs outside the White
House.
Only minor criticism was heard of
the management of White House social
affairs through several administrations,
the Civil War interrupting the routine
of entertainment to some extent. 1t
was President Arthur. the New York
gentleman, who, when Vice President,
was called upon to fill the unexpired
term of President Garfield, became un-
usually. independent in social affairs.
He broke over the rule of most Of his
predecessors of dining only with the
cabinet, the Speaker and the Supreme
Court, and visited friends.
Precedence Revived.
He also started the subject of prece-
dence anew while his sister, Mrs. Nc
Elroy. was the real mistress of the White
House, by choosing Mrs. John q. Car
isle, wife of the Speaker. to stand in
line next to him at his first New Year
day reception. He considered this the
strict rule of precedence. At his state
dinner a little later In the month he
chose Mrs Frelinghuysen, wife Of the
Secretary of State, to occupy the seat
Of honor at his right. The Secretary Of
State followed with Mrs. McElroy.
President Benjamin Harrison raised
anew the subject OF precedence by
way with his daughter, Mrs. Mckee.

whereupon President Adams left for
his home In Braintree, Mass, not to
return until November Of that year.
He had been defeated for reelection
by Thomas Jefferson, and entered the
partly completed Presidents Mansion.
which was to be his home only until
March 3, when Thomas Jefferson moved
In.
Neither the Capitol nor the Presi-
dents House were finished. Mrs.

There were no call bells in the house
and there was scarcity of firewood
to keep the big rooms warm. Mrs.
Adams did find some use for the un-
finished east room: for she used 1t to
string up a line on which to dry her
washing.

Thomas Jefferson was the first Presi-
dent inaugurated in Washington. but he
was not the first President who occu-
pied the Presidents Mansion, as the
White House was first called. That was
John Adams, second President of the
United States, and Mr.. Jefferson's i'm
mediate predecessor.
Congress had directed that the new
Federal City on the Potomac River be
made ready for occupancy by the Gov
eminent by the Autumn of 1900. But
the money to build the Capitol. White
House and buildings to house the execu-
tive departments was left to be raised
by the Commissioners Of the Territory
OF Columbia" through the sale of lots
This plan did not turn out as well as
expected, and the city was far from
ready when 1900 rolled around.
President Adams, nevertheless, issued
the following order In Philadelphia,
where the Government was then 10
Gated, May Is, 1900:
ITO make the most prudent and eco

as soon as may be convenient In such
manner that the public offices may be
opened In the City of Washington for
the dispatch Of business by the 18th of
June"
Many Weeks Moving.
It was the end Of May when the first
Of the executive departments began to
move to Washington. They all got here
one way or another before Autumn
Officially, they all left Philadelphia for
the new Federal seat between May %
and June 6, but it was many weeks
after June 6 before they were all ready
to transact business here.
The total number of Government
clerks at that time was about 1876. They
and the heads of departments came
The papers. furniture and other articles
belonging to the departments. for the
most part, came by water. the cost of
removing everybody and everything
connected with the Government being
approximately $4,000, according to the
old records.
A building was ready to be occupied
by the Treasury Department, but the
Departments Of State, War, Navy and
Post Office had to find rented quarters
or squeeze In where they could.
President Adams decided to pay a
visit of inspection to the new city. He
arrived June 3, 1900, being met at the
boundary line by large crowd Of re-
spectacle citizens on horseback and es-
corted into town, where he was re-
ceived with pleasure and veneration,"
as a newspaper chronicler Of the day
