TIIE SOBASTTOy TPIBtlKE-XllUBHPAY MORNIKGr, SEPTEMBER 0, 18?T. Past Mistresses Of the White Hoysee Gossip About the Wives and Daughters of the Presidents. St. Louis Globe-Democrat, As Is well known, Mrs, McKlnley's two children, both daughters, died In infancy. AVfere tile' younger 'one living, she would bo 22 years. old, the ngo at which' "Miss Betty," tho' third daugh ter of General Taylor, began her brll llan but brief career as mistress of the White House. Ever since the birth of this .younger child Mrs, McKlnley has been In poor" health, and the history of ' tho executive mansion furnishes no precedent of one physically frail dis charging the public functions that de volve upon the wife of tho president. Mrs. Cleveland, through'seven years of her husband's two administrations, readily met every demand made upon her by private socials and public levees, though Mrs. Harrison, after three years of unremitting industry, supplemented by disease, became an Invalid, and died In the White House of tubercular con sumption. While Mrs. Benjamin Hnr- , rlson died 'in Washington during her husband's official term, Mrs. William Henry HarrlsorV did not reach there at all, and Is tho only wife of a president who never went into tho White House. Her delicate health prevented her crossing the country with the general on his way .to Washington, In February, 1841, and his death, we know swiftly followed after his Inauguration. Mrs.. Johnson and Mrs. Fillmore, both of whom were physlcaly Infirm, as Is Mrs. McKlnley, were represented by their daughters. So was Mrs. Taylor, who had an aversion to appearing In public, and John Tyler, whoso wife had lately died, put forward his daughter-in-law, who had been an actress. Three of these were vice-presidents, and it will be noticed that no wife of a vice president who succeeded to the presi dency ever- acted in the capacity of mistress of tho White House, except Tyler's second Wife, and she for but a short time. Mrs. Johnson was a con firmed Invalid, and never appeared in society In Washington. She had two daughters, Mrs. Senator Patterson and Mrs. Stover. Mrs. Patterson was ex ceptionally devoted to the Interests of her father. She more heartily appre ciated his efforts than the other chil dren, and he in return gave her the most attention. So when he became president Mrs. Patterson very natur ally took the place of Mrs. Lincoln. And though but a plain woman from the mountains of Tennessee, she was not altogether unacquainted with the duties of the "first lady." She was a school girl In Georgetown when Polk was president, and became his frequent guest, spending most of her holidays in the executive mansion. After she became its mistress she labored more industriously possibly in its transfor mation than did Mrs. Harrison. The soldiers had left It In rather a sorry plight. Mrs. Patterson is the first In stance of the wife of a senator and a daughter of a president presiding over the' White House. Jefferson's second daughter, Mrs. Eppes, held a similar position, but she never was In charge of the mansion, and was but once a visitor thero during her short life af ter, her fathers election. Mrs, Patterson, it Is said, was simple and very elegant in dress, and a most industrious wo rrianT "but With no" taste whatever for art pr literature. Abigail Fillmore was altogether dif ferent from Mrs. Patterson. She was proficient in the French, Italian, Ger man and Spanish languages, and was progressing rapidly in sculpture when she died at 22. The recent death of a ' elster, together with Impaired health, prevented Mrs. Fillmore from entering Unto the gjayetles of social life in Washington, and the duties, therefore, that devolved upon her as the wife of the president were left almost en tirely to her daughter. Abigail was but a girl, fresh from school, and was the youngest mistress the AVhlte house ever had. This distinction had pre viously belonger to her Immediate pre decessor, Mrs. Bliss, better known as "Miss Betty," General Taylor's young est daughter, who assumed her duties as hostess at the precise age that marks Abigail Fillmore's death. Abi gail was an energetic and highly-cultivated young lady. She had perfect ed herself in languages and music af ter her' father's accession to the pres idency, and in the leisure moments of a life largely devoted to society. Her devotion to sculpture grew out of an association with Harriet Hosmer.who was her schoolmate. Death had made It possible for Fillmore to be president, and followed swiftly upon his retire ment. He had been out of tr.e White house but twenty-six days when his wife died at Willard's hotel, In Wash ington, and his only daughter, Ills be loved Abigail, survived her mother but a short time, dying of cholera Soon' after the family's return to Buf falp. Mrs. .Fillmore's early advantages had been greatly superior to those of her husband, which were poor, Indeed, and through his rising fortunes had been his nearest friend and counselor. She was born with the century, and lived three years past Its meridian, dying at twice the age of her daugh ter, less one year. General Taylor was in tho presiden tial office but fourteen months, and during this short incumbency the hos pitalities at the White house were much curtailed. Mrs. Taylor, from disinclination, refused to accept the responsibilities of hostess, and trans ferred them to her daughter, Elizabeth, "Miss Betty," who, as the youngest daughter of any president who had honored the receptions with her pres ence, and qu'te a pretty one, too, was SKIN DISEASES ?

Her first appearance is described as somewhat dramatic and highly effective. A Ilusslan woman entered, robed In crimson, velvet, and bejeweled with diamonds, followed by two richly dressed Southern belles, af ter whom enmo Miss Betty, in white, with a, single flower In her hair. She made an instantaneous Impression, and promised to rival tho charming and youthful Mrs. Itobert Tyler in popu larity. But the career that opened so auspiciously, and, In the sunlight of peace, after a war, In which her fath er was tho successful general, was soon to end In the gloom of death. On the seventy-fourth Independence anniversary the president was sun struck while at tho laying of tho corner-stone of the Washington monu ment, and died six days after. Mrs. Taylor survived her husband but two years, dying at her son's, in Pascagou la, La. Bliss, her son-in-law, soon followed, and Betty was left a widow, with friends in Virginia. Mrs. Taylor was never visible In the reception room at tho Whte house. She receiv ed her visitors In private apartments, and escaped all possible observation. Miss Betty, as did Abigail Fillmore, discharged the duties of hostess un assisted, and was always at her ease. She had Just finished her education In Philadelphia. These two are the only daughters of presidents who have suc cessively presided at the executive mansion. And whatever roseate mem orles cither may have had of It were darkened by the death of a parent. Mrs. McKlnley has some knowledge of life In Washington, having resided there when her husband was member of congress. But Mrs. William Henry Harrison, as has been said, did not reach the capital, which, however, was owing to the death of her husband! and Mrs. Andrew Jackson, who was living when the general was elect ed, died before his Inauguration. It will be noticed that the families of the military group of presidents Jackson, Harrison and Taylor, within the twenty-two years between 1828 and 1S50, lost each a member by death near the beginning of the respective terms, In two Instances the presidents them selves dying, and In the other the wife of the president-elect. Jackson made Major Donelson his private secretary, and at his request Mrs. Donelson took charge of the White House. She was a young woman of sonslderable attrac tion, though somewhat Inexperienced. When Jackson's administration was two years old, Edward Livingston was appointed secretary of state, and from that time on Mrs. Livingston, a wo man highly gifted, and who had been on terms of warm friendship with Mrs. John Qulncy Adams, assisted young Mrs. Donelson at public receptions. Be fore Jackson's time supper tables had been a special feature of tho drawing room entertainments, but the grow ing population of Washington and the vast crowds rendered the custom In supportable, and the old general abol ished them. They have never since been .resumed. General Jackson was lnaug uratd president at the age of C2, and had none of the advantages of his predecessors of having been drilled In statesmanship, and he and Mrs. Donel son, It Is said, as heads of tho executive mansion, were less skillful than bril liant. Pierce, like Jackson, went into tho presidency under the shadow of a recent death. Tho cases are parallel. Jackson lost his wife In tho Interim between his election and Inauguration, and Pierce's son died between those periods in his father's life. He met his death In an accident on tho Boston and Maine railroad. Ho was an only son, and the affliction was crushing. Mrs. Pierce did not recover from It for years. As a. matter of official duty she presided nt receptions unless too 111. and secretly struggled to conceal her grief. She had had an experience of nine years in Washington life while her husband was in the house and sen ate. "Very naturally there was little gayety in the presidential mansion dur ing Pierce's term, and certainly none in the hearts of Its occupants. Van Buren's administration was also unpretentious In the way of entertain ment. Jackson's had been something of a disappointment In this direction, and when his cultivated and aristo cratic vice-president succeeded him, It was predicted that the high tone of bygone years would be restored. Re ports were circulated that the levees at the White house were to be In spired by the genius of distinguished New York ladles, but they were falsa. Van Buren did not open his drawing rooms often. Ho followed the example of his predecessor and patron, General Jackson, and made the wife of his pri vate secretary mistress of the man sion. In this Instance she was also the presidents daughter-in-law, the wife of his son, Abram, who married her In South Carolina the second win ter of his father's administration, and brought her a pretty bride to the White house. But even then there was no revival of the gayety of the old en times. Two of the nation's most Illustrious first ladles, Mrs. Madison and Mrs. John Qulncy Adams, were then living In Washington, the for mer of whom was a cousin to Mrs. Abram Van Buren. Mrs. Madison's Influence seems to have been less marked with her young relative from South Carolina, though possibly the president was tho controlling force, than with her successor, Mrs. Itobert Tyler, who found it very convenient and helpful, upon passing from ob scurity Into the association of great men and women of social standing, to nuvise with Mrs. Madison, who had done the honors of the White house for the most of four terms, beginning with the administration of Jefferson. Mrs. Robert Tyler, like Mrs. Abram Van Buren, was the daughter-in-law of tho president, who was a widower, as was Van Buren, his wife's death occurring near about the time of that of General Harrison. Young Mrs, Tyler was greatly delighted at her sudden ad vancement, and says of It in a letter to her sister: "What wonderful changes take place! Hero I am, nee Prlscllla Cooper, actually living In. and what Is more, presiding at the White house. I look at myself and ex claim, 'Can this be?" I occupy poor General HaiVlson's room." She was the daughter of tho tragedian, Coo per, and Eliza Falrlle, whose mar riage was one of the sensations of their day, and had been brought up by her parents with the greatest care. She had been on the stage a short time, acting with her father, when his affairs were at the worst. One nin-rir at a ball, she sayi, In a building; called the Assembly, which was an old the nter transformed into a ball room, sho stood on the very spot, robed in rich velvet, where six years before, strug gling with her father through a. mls erablo engagement of a few rainy nights, sho played "Lady Randolph." Mrs. Tyler was considered ono of tho remarkable young women of the cen tury. Her greatest trouble scorns to have been in; paying visits. Mrs. Madison advised her to return them all, and she spent three hours a day three days a week driving about. "Tho awful-looking Mr. Webster" fre frequently entertained her with the most charming gossip. Sho was assist ed in'- receiving by Llxzle Tyler, tho president's daughter, who was known as "tho young princess," between wh'om and her sister-in-law there ex isted a delightful sympathy. Lizzie was married In the White House, which was the first wedding that over oc curred there, and was the last until that of Mrs. Cleveland, In whom nre revived tho Impressions made by Mrs. Itobert Tyler, tho most beautiful and vivacious mistress the White House had ever seen. During the last year of his term Pres ident Tyler married the daughter of his old friend, David Gardiner, of New York. In a pleasure party given by the president on the sloop-of-war Princeton, a salute was fired In passing Mount Vernon, when a gun burst, kill ing, among others, Mr. Gardiner. His daughter Julia was one of the guest, and was overwhelmed at the death of her father. Tyler, In endeavoring to console her, felt In love with an mar ried her. Her portrait Is that of a beautiful young woman and her ac complishments are said to have been many. She was married In New York at tho Church of the Ascension, and was called "the bride of the AVhlte House," a title that would also have aptly applied to Mrs. Abram Van Bur en. Mrs. Tyler's receptions were not table In many respects. Mrs. Madison was always present, and was a con stant guest at state dinners. Within less than four years Tyler had lost his wife, Installed his daughter-in-law as mistress of the White House, given away his daughter 0, marriage and taken unto himself a second wife. The sad circumstances that culminated in his marrying Julia Gardiner, though much less remote, are not altogether unlike those that probalfiy gave rise to the wedding of Grover Cleveland and Frances Folsom. Eleven years before this event, In Buffalo, it will be remem bered, a carriage In which Oscar Fol som was driving' was suddenly over turned and he was killed instantly. Mr. Cleveland took upon himself the necessary thought and care for his widow and little daughter Frances. His guardianship of tho young girl was well known during1 her school life. He sent her flowers from the governor's mansion at Albany while she was at Wells college, and on the day of her valedictory a stand or white flowers near her was the tribute of the presi dent. Next June they will have been married eleven years, which is the measure of time that elapsed between Folsom's death and the wedding. Af ter the honeymoon at Dfer Park hos pitalities were Inaugurated by a ball, at which Mrs. Cleveland wore her wed ding garments. In arranging her round of duties, such as luncheons, tea parties, socials and levees, sho has dif fered somewhat from her predecessors and is styled an innovator. Rose Cleveland, one of the most Intellectual and cultivate women of the AVhito House, and Mrs. Robert Tyler, one of tho most fascinating, were supplanted by young wives whose elevation may be said to have resulted from the acci dental death of their fathers. It Is almost a century from the time of Mrs. Cleveland's retirement back to that when Mrs. John Adams went to AVashlngton. The history of the AVhlte House began with the supervision of Mrs. Adams, and its first century will end and Its second begin with that of Mrs. McKlnley. Mrs. Adams was con spicuously unlike Mrs. AVashingtom. She had been a poor girl, and after marriage, following the example of her husband, became a diligent student. In the list of presidents and their wives there can not possibly be found any two who read so many books as Mr. and Mrs. Adams. AVhen he was elect ed president she was 53 years old and had for eight years, as wife of the vice president, been one of the leading la dles In the social life of that time; she had also spent several years In Europe, and was acquainted with the usages of courts. For some time after her hus band's election, which antedates "lc Kinley's an even hundred years, Mrs. Adams was 111 at her home In Massa chusetts, and she did not reach Phila delphia until after the abatement of the yellow fever In 1789. In the fall of 1800 she Journeyed In a carriage over bad roads from Philadelphia to AVash lngton. The latter place sho refers to as "only a city In name; here and thero a small cot without a glass window In terspersed among the forests." The house was on a grand scale, but there was no fence or yard, and the great east room she used to hang up clothes In. The oval room, now the library, was Mrs. Adam's drawing room, and the number of visitors, considering she lived In a forest, was surprising. The AVhlte House was built upon a site chosen by George AS'ashlngton and af ter designs by James Hobson, a young Irish architect of Baltimore. The model was the Duke of Leicester's house In Dublin. It was named after tho dwell lng of Martha Curtis In AA'Illlamsburg. in which Washington courted and mar ried her. Mrs. Adams fixed a day and maintained the same forms and cere monies In receiving that Mrs. AVash lngton liad Introduced in New York and Philadelphia. Mrs. AVashlngton did not Join the president"" until four weeks after his Inauguration. Sue was a lady of high breeding and was quickly pronounced an aristocrat. Tho presldental mansion In New York was first at Franklin square and Cherry street, later on Broadway below Trini ty church, and In Philadelphia on Mar ket, between Fifth and Sixth streets. Mrs. AVashlngton gave levees Trlday evenings regularly on a courtly basis, and only persons of official station, so cial position or distinguished merit were admitted. She was well Informed m a general way, Tiut had little special culture and was a poor conversation alist. AA'hat endeared her most to tho country was her heroism during the revolution, when she traveled on horse back through snows and floods in win ter to headquarters to brighten tho dullness of the camp. The levees established by Mrs. AVash lngton and continued by Mrs. Adams were abandoned by Jefferson. Mrs. Jefferson had been dead seventeen years, and Dolly Madison, wife of tho secretary of state, succeeded Mrs. Adams, who had been In the AVhito House but one winter. Jefferson had two daughters, Mrs, Randolph and Mrs. Eppes, who were only occasional vis itors during his first term, though after his Becond Inauguration Mrs. Randolph nnd all her children spent several months with him. AVhatever there was of society in tho little capital through the eight years of Jefferson's adminis tration radiated from Mrs. Madison. Sho was wealthy, nnd did many gen erous acts, which endeared her to tho people, but kept a very unpretentious house, because tho president would not have It otherwise. Jefferson wns very proud of her; he had loved and courted her mother, who married John Payne. AVhen her husband became president, however, Mrs. Madison took the reins and re-established the levees of her two predecessors. Sho was then 37 years old. Her hospitalities were on a big scale, and sho was called "the queen," and tho AVhlte House "tho pal ace." Some of her costumes were ex tremely gorgeous and elaborate, and ns retained In portraits look rather odd. In 1817 sho turned over tho executive mansion to Mrs. Monroe, a handsome woman, whom Monroo married tho gay winter following AVashlngton's first In auguration. She was Eliza Kortwrlght, and a belle of Now York. Hitherto It had been one of the duties of a presi dent's wife to return calls, but AVash lngton had now become quite a town, and Mrs. Monroe refused to submit to so Inconvenient a custom. It was af terward revived by Mrs. Robert Tyler through the advice of Mrs. Madison. Mrs. Monroe was extremely exacting In the matter of dress at her receptions. She got her Ideas of such things from ten years of life In European capitals while Monroe was on his various mis sions. Her daughters were educated in France, and Eliza was a class-mate of Hortenso Beauharnals. Mrs. John Qulncy Adams, who succeeded Mrs. Monroe, was born, educated nnd mar ried In London. Ah wife of the secre tary of state sho had assisted the wife of the president about the AVhlte Houso for eight years. She was a graceful, pretty little woman and capable of en tertaining great men. Her callers In cluded such giants ns Daniel AVobstor, Andrew Jackson nnd De Witt Clinton, while John C. Calhoun was vice-president and Henry Clay secretary of state. Lafayette was her guest for a week. Thirty years after Lafayette's visit tho Prince of AVales camo over. Bu chanan was then president, and his house was kept by his niece, tho cele brated Harriet Lane, who entertained tho prince both as a private gentleman and In royal state. Sho had previously been in England with her uncle and made a marked impression at the queen's drawing room. A personal de scription of Miss Lane gives her violet eyes, golden hair, classic features and a beautiful mouth. Buchanan, who had great admiration and affection for his niece, reared and educated her, and she was steadfast to his interests and his best friend, though she eventually married a Mr. .Tnhnstnn. Tlnnlinnnn's letters to her nre said by his biogra phers to rank with those of Burke, Chesterfield, Chatham and Eldon. About twenty years separate the visits of the Prince of AVales and Alexis. The Russian grand duke was entertained at a state dinner by Mrs. Hayes, who wore a white silk robe trimmed with flowers. Mrs. Hayes was exceptionally popular, and her receptions attracted Immense throngs. Almost every even ing, assisted by Mrs. Ewarts and daughters, she had informal gather ings In the library. Mrs. Ewarts, as wife of the secretary of state, was preceded by Mrs. Fish, who, as an en tertainer on a big scale, won a 'repu tation second to none. She was a very courtly woman, Dut unyielding In con ventionality, and wns nf errnt nualef- ance to Mrs. Grant In dispensing hos pitalities .to the brilliant galaxy, of men and women that once more, after tho war, surged through the doors of tho AVhlte House. Mrs. Grant Is remem bered for her good taste and courtesy, and passed the ordeal of eight years as a president's wife with less criticism, possibly, than any of her predecessors. AVhatever of unnecessary convention ality thero was at Mrs. Grant's recep tions was no doubt in a measure due to tho presence of Mrs. Fish, who seems to have fashioned her own pretentious gatherings after the dignified manner of Mrs. James K. Polk's. AVhatever Mrs. Polk did was of tho strictest for mality and correctness. Mrs. Grant succeeded Mrs. Patterson, who came next after Mrs. Lincoln. The years of Mrs. Lincoln's Incumbency were lonely and sad ones. In the second year after the Inauguration, Willie's death occurred, a sorrow from which neither sho nor the president ever re covered. But for tho conditions pre vailing, Mrs. Lincoln would probably have made tho AVhlte House socially what It had been. She loved society, and had cherished the ambition of be ing the wife of a president. Her re tirement upon tho assassination of her husband, we know, was duplicated in Mrs. Garfield, who was followed by President Arthur's sister, Mrs. McEl r&T. Tho first winter was one of mourning, but tho following spring, In 1882. relation with the nnlsldo wnrM was reviewed by a splendid reception, at which Mrs. Grant assisted, dressed like a queen, with a coronet of dia monds in her hair. Mrs. McElroy's en tertainments were exceedingly elegant. Like her brother, she was gifted with the social art. IIEIt UNHAPPY INFIRMITY.
