LADY OF THE WHITE HOUSE,

INTERESTING ANECDOTES AND

RULES OF ETIQUETTE.

The Lady of the White House is the wife of the President, not his sister nor his daughter, nor any relative whom he may choose to act as hostess for him The law establishes the states of the Lady of the White House by awarding her, in the event of her widowhood, a pension of 5,000 dollars a year and the franking privilege.

There are (says Mr. Foxcroft Davis,

A PERSIDENT'S AFFLICTED WIFE. When he was elected President a zum- ber of bis closest and oldest friends in Ohio, who had known Mrs. McKinley in her happier days, and understood the situation, held a conference and deputed a lady, ons of the McKinleys' oldest friends, whose judgment he always valued, to speak to him on the subject. She told hita earnestly that it would be far better for Mrs. McKinley, as well as for himself, that she should not attempt to take her place as Lady of the White House Mr. McKinley listened with his usual gentle- ness. and patience, and then said, reflect upon what you tell me, and what my friends think, and will let you know Some days later he went to see his old what conclusion I reach" writing in the New York Tribune) only friend, and told her that after thinking two ladies receiving this pension, reit over, he felt it was Mrs McKinley's Garfield and Mrs. Grover Cleveland. right, as his wife, to take her place as Mrs. Benjamin Harrison receives no pen-Lady of the White House, that he realised sion or other gratuity from the Govern fully her disabilities and all the difficulties ment because she was not the wife of Fre of the position, but that he could not in sident Harrison during his term of office conscience deprive her of what he felt she She was then Mrs. Dimmock, and the was entitled to as a wife. Nothing more niece of the first wife of President Harri-was said to Inn on the 'sabject, and the son. The frat Mrs. Harrison died at the White House in the autumn of 1882. The Lady of the White House is encompassed by many rigid rules of etiquette and etiquette means good sense applied to Ball ch gs. She must not accept general invitatics, and, outside of the Cabinet circle, cannot attend a formal dianer in

from Washington, she may dine with anybody she likes. In Washington she may, once in a great while, go to an informal entertainment. There an un- written law by which the Lady of the White House may walk through a stately quadrille with a high official; but no Lady of the White House has ever been known to whirl in a waltz.

The handshaking ordeal is the worst the Lady of the White House may be called upon to endure. The first thing a Prosi dent and his wife must learn is how to shake hands; that is to say, to grip firmly and in advance every band offered to them. If they allowed others to grip their hands, they might soon be crippled in their right hands and arms. Some Latios of tho White House bare not shaken hands promiscuously Mre. Taft shakes hands cordially but she may be sorry for it before she gets through. Mrs. Harrison avoided the terrible handshaking by carrying a bog quet in one hand and a fan in the other, so she had no hand available to shake. Mrs. Cleveland shook hands so much that her right hand soon became visibly larger

She took up driving and f than her left. violin playing to remedy the disparity.

SENATOR AND MRS. CLEVELAND, But there was one occasion when Mrs. Cleveland did not shake hands. There was a certain United States Senator now living, who abused President Cleveland violently, and called him a dog. Mrs. Oleveland would never consent after that to shake hands with him. At the White House levees to which he was entitled to be asked by virtue of his senatorship, although the President shook hands with him civilly enough, Mrs. Cleveland would} coolly fold her arms and give him only s slight bow. No one thought less of her for her natural wifely indignation, and the treasured the grudge that President Cleveland freely forgave.

President conscientiously carried out his design. Mrs. McKinley developed physi cal strength that had not before been sus pecied, and proved herself able to stand a great deal of fatigua She enjoyeri beautiful clothes and splendid entertain ments; but at any moment was liable to a collapse.

Mrs.

She had an attack at the very moment President McKinley was taking the oath of office on the grandstand in the Plaza of the Capitol, and often had them at White House dinners. The pain the Presi- dent endured on these occasions he bore with noble calmness and patience. McKinley became more unhappy than ever when Mr. McKinley was out of sight. The one thing that comforted her was to have a picture of him close at hand. She would often send for him at Cabinet meetings and at most inopportune occa sions, and he never failed to go, if pos- i sible. Mr. McKinley's loyalty and un- shaken devotion to his afflicted wife is one of the most beautiful chapters in his per- sonal history,

Mrs. McKinley's inability to think and act coherently involved President McKin ley in continual perplexities; but his She purvived patience was unshakable. her husband several years, and never censed to ask for him, forgetting, for long intervals, that he was dead.

Mrs. Cleveland was the only bride of the White House that this generation has seen. No one who saw her in the glory of her beauty and freshness as a twenty- two-year-old Lady of the White House can forget her. It was her choice to be mar ried in the White House, and she came to Washington for that purpose. Etiquette forbids a President to meet anyone at the station; but it was thought by many that President Cleveland might have set this rule aside in favour of the young bride to bo. He determined not to do so, and Miss Folsom was met at the station by the Pre- sident's sister, Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleve land. The wedding party was compara tively amall, but after a brief honeymoon spent out of Washington the President and his bride returned and held a splendid evening reception, the YOTE

The most piteous spectacle evar seen in the White House was the late Mrs. Mc- Kinley. She was an extremely pretty woman, who bad become epileptic when twenty-five years old from grief at the loss of both her children During President McKinley's long service in Congress she was utterly unknown in Washington." She was most of her time confined to her bed or sofa, and Mr. McKinley spent all the time he possibly could with her. He was shandsome man, formed to shine in
