WW ..SOCIAL. LIFE. OF THE , W ASHINGTONS MHEN Washington be came President of the United States, both he and Lady Washington, aa she was generally called, took naturally the chief place a the social leaders ot the new-born nation. It was still a stately age, an age ot rich brocades, of powdered hair, of stiff and rustling silks, brought at great expense from over teas, an age which has been the de light of the historical painter and the writer. Everything, architecture, customs and ways of living, furnished fit setting for the two stately figures who have left an indelible Impress on our history. ,5' Washington was one of the tallest men of his time, extremely dignified, accustomed to command, and to tue best social life of the colonies. His wife was c woman of fine presence, Of quiet dignity, and with a full con sciousness ot all the demands ot her position as the first lady of the land. While neither attempted an extrava gant style of living, they both felt that they stood as the representatives of the nation to the outer world, and when they received distinguished for eigners and diplomats, their recep tions, In both the tomporary capitals of New York and Philadelphia, were ordered on much the same lines as court receptions abroad. Sometimes, on great occasions, the clothes were of satin, white, black and brown being the favorite colors of the day. The knee-breeches buckled at the knee, most ot the buckles being of precious metal and set with brilliants. White silk stock ings were worn with low shoes, gar nished with gold or silver buckles. They wore their hair powdered and "clubbed" at the back. Most ot them wore small sllver-hllted court swords. The diplomats appeared In the heav ily embroidered court costumes ot their respective countries, while the officers ot the little standing army appeared in their natty buff and blue, General Knox, the Secretary of War, making an imposing figure. Washington, at his wife's recep tions, did not stand by her side, but mingled as a guest among the com pany, making it a rule to converse briefly with every one present before they left. On these occasions he wore a light-colored coat and fancy waistcoat, and black small-clothes, end appeared without a sword. Refreshments ot plum cake, coffee and tea were always served under the direction ot Fraunces, who had charge of the culinary department of the Washington household. When Mrs. Washington hold an afternoon levee, a few ot the guests were in vited to remain to the family dinner, which was served by Fraunces, gor geous In livery, and with hia hair as thickly powdered as that of any of the guests. At Washington's own levee, which occurred on Tuesday afternoons, the President dressed In "a black velvet coat and breeches, his hair In full dress, powdered and gathered behind in a silk bag, yellow gloves, and hold ing a cocked hat with a cockade on it, and the edge adorned with a black feather about an inch deep, He wore knee and shoe buckles, and a long sword with a finely wrought and polished steel hilt the coat worn over the blade, the scabbard of pol ished leather." William Sullivan, who attended many ot these receptions, has left us a graphic pen picture ot one ot them. "At three o'clock, or at any time within a quarter of an hour after- begun on the right, and spoke to rach vUltor, calling htm by nam, and ex changing a few words with Mm. When he had completed his circuit, he rrEumed his first position, and the visitors approached him In succession, bowed and retired. By four o'clock the ceremony was over." When Washington drove out it was in a mngniflcent carriage painted yel low, with gilt decorations, and with little cuplds on the panels. On the centre of the door was the Washing ton coat of arms. Four cream col ored horses obeyed the guiding hand of the colored driver, who was dressed In livery of the Washington At Valley Forge. colors, trimmed with much gold braid. The picture given in this is sue shows the coach as it appeared when brought out about fifty years after Washington's death. Besides receptions, there were many formal dinners given by the President and his wife and other en tertainments. While In New York both were fond ot taking trips for a day or two over on to Long Island, through Flatbush, Hempstead and Flushing, or up the Hudson, Into Westchester County, to be free for a time from the cares ot their position. Both Washington and his wife were regular in their church attendance. THE FAMOUS "WASHINGTON CARRIAGE" IN WHICH OUR FIRST PRESIDENT AND MRS. WASHINGTON USUALLY WENT DRIVING. 1 .5 i. . c ".id -"v:-- 1 - .:.v.'. T--Sfc 9 lillV d ;-WV -y d amm ' i K.. WASHINGTON'S CARRIAGE, BUILT FOR HIM DURING THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL TERM. The carriage appeared as above in the procession of the United Order of American Mechanics in New York, February 22, 1872. The national councillor of the order Is standing by the coach. Washington always took great pride in his. carriage horses. It is said that at night the white chargers were covered with a paste made of whiting, wrapped in cloths and given clean straw to sleep in. In the morning they were rubbed until they shone like satin, their hoofs were blacked and polished, their mouths washed, their teeth picked, and their trappings were of leopard skin. The grooms began their work at early dawn, and at sunrise the negro Bishop, who was master of the stables, appeared with a muslin pocket handkerchief and rubbed it over the glossy sides of the horses. It the least bit ot dust or dirt came oft on the handkerchief the stable boys were severely reprimanded. President and Mrs. Washington re ceived together, but both had sep arate levee days, when they received the people of the official world and also the gentry ot the State, t Lady Washington received on Fri day evenings. The guests came early and departed by nine. She was fifty even when she came to New York, and this is the age she appears in the I picture of Lady Washington's Recep tion. The portrait by Robert Edge Pine was painted about this time. The ene by Stuart, which is the most popular of her portraits, and has been reproduced so often, was painted about ten years later. i The Washingtons hired one of the. best colonial houses in New York, and the gentry of the city crowded to her first "at home," If we give It the I modern name. Footmen in the Wash ington livery stood at the curb to open the doors of the gaily painted coaches, while others stood in the hall and announced the names ot the Euests. Every one, on entering, ad vanced bowing to the head of the room, where the hostess stood l dressed in brocade-flowered silk, her hair powdered and fastened with jeweled- pins. After conversing a few moments, the guests would step to the right or left to make room for others, always, until some distance away, keeping the face turned partly !u Lady Washington's direction. A brilliant assembly it was after the greater part of the company had arrived. There was Mrs. George Clin- titiAJ toa, wife of the Governor of the State I i"-of New York; Lady Stirling, wife of ire! thu gallant patriot general, Lord Stir ling, who, by bis brilliant charges at the. Battle ot Long Island, had won undying military fame; there was'the ).5 stately Marchioness de Brehan and hi pi Lady Temple, the American-born e to wtfe ot the British Minister to the 1 ".United States; and Lady Catherine A.u-fpuer an,i ner -.later.

They wore powder and bes and the balr dressed high in v way that gives such charm to the . colonial portraits that have coma rn to vs. The gentlemen who attended were less brilliantly attired than the tea, for the coat ot funereal broad h with the ugly trousers had not la into vogue.

On entering, he saw Washington, who stood always in front of the fireplace, with his face toward the, door of en trance. The visitor was conducted to him, and he required to have the name so distinctly pronounced that he could hear it. He had the very uncommon faculty ot associating a man's name and his personal appear ance so durably in his memory as to be able to call one by name, who made him a second visit. He re ceived his visitor with a dignified bow, while his hands were so dis posed of as to Indicate that the salu tation was not to be accompanied with shaking bands.

College Girls as Innkeepers, Two young women, graduates of Wellesley, have earned comfortable incomes In the last ten years from a tearoom In the village near the col lege. The idea sprang from the need they themselves experienced for a resting place and a stimulating cup when shopping in the village. Before their graduation they rented quar ters, and after leaving college, gave all their attention to the little place. The success of the venture was great. Now the tearoom has been incorpor ated under the name Wellesley Inn.

Elaborateness has for some time been the note In hair arrangement. The winter showing of hair orna ments insists upon this note. Only an elaborate coiffure could support them or display them to advantage. Paris Introduces a novelty in the way of barrettes. it Is a huge affair compared to the barrettes that have been and still continue to be popu lar. It comes as long as five Inches and as wide as three. At first glance it. astounds, at sec ond it recommends Itself as an ap propriate and desirable support for the Grecian knots In vogue or for any other of the many forms of bulg ing coiffure that now have popularity. The big barrette curves so as to fit well about the base of the Grecian knot. It comes in amber, tortoise shell, metal and Jet. For everyday use the amber and tortoise shell vari eties are the favorites. Fortunately for the woman of mod erate purse they come In Imitation shell. In the real thing barrettes in such sizes are naturally costly things. The simplest of the big barrettes Is a plain oblong sh'.eld ot the shell highly burnished. Other varieties show Irregular edgen and carved, in laid or jewel encrusted surfaces. Ooo of the most sought after models has the shield cut In an intricate allover openwork design. Shields inlaid with silver gilt or silver or encrusted with a design In brilliants are among the more ex pensive order.

She kept in her kitchen a fine steel knitting needle, which was always in a high state ot polUh. As soon as the milk came Into the house she stuck the needle lightly into the can and drew it out In an upright position. If no drop adhered to the needle that milkman heard a line of talk on watered milk that caused him to be careful how he dal lied with the pump on his next visit.

A reader asks for our recipe for baked beans. To a pint of beans I use a small roast of fresh pork, a couple of pounds. See that all imperfect beans are re moved, then wash and put on to boil in plenty of water. The pork and salt may be added at the same time. As soon as the beans are tender, add two tablespoonfuls of molasses and more salt if necessary, and If this quantity of molasses does not make them as sweet as liked, add more to suit taste. Pour the beans In a shallow pan, place pork on top, cover with another pan, and bake them three or four hours. Watch that they do not get too dry, as even tender, well cooked beans will get hard if not kept moist. If one has a bean pot, use it to bake them in. Raj? Carpet Rugs. There is quito a revival, these days of old-fashioned rag rugs. The car pet made of strips of cloth has been In use for some time, even In smart houses built In the country. This j kind of carpet is not especially fit for ! city houses. i So wide was the demand that hand I run looms were put up all over the country, and farmer's wives made many an extra penny by turning out I satisfactory work. Now the rag rug has come into its own again. The favorite ones are lit tle mat rugs that are so widely used ; as dots all over a room. These are j put before the bureau, in front of the i cheval glass, at the side of a bed. in front of the bath tub and under chairs. They are mado in artistic designs and colorings and are quite within the purse of tho woman of small means. New York Times.

One of the combinations coming Into first style for Indoor gowns is bronze satin. It is used for an Em pire skirt that reaches to the bust, and above this is a bodice of bronze sequins mixed with gold thread, run on brown net. The bodice Is made in the usual way out of bands going around the figure and over the arms. The only touch of any other color Is a bit of white tulle at the neck and sleeves. This combination Is adopted for elaborate low necked frocks worn for special occasions.

Her favorite ground is Incompatibility of temperament. ''What woman can get along with a man these days and be married to him?", she said. "I have come to the conclusion that men are mere inci dents In a woman's life. Fairly good entertainment, but so weak and triv ial really not worth while. "The very idea of a woman tying herself to one ot the conceited wretches and hoping to please him aud make him and herself happy Is ridiculous. Matrimony is a survival of barbarism.

Sewing a Cure For Nervousness. Now that an eminent specialist has asserted sewing is conducive to quiet and well-ordered nerves, it Is piobublo many women will renew their interest in the art of the needle. But it is not likely a majority of women active in society will follow the specialist's advice, for they have time only for the quest ot pleasure However, society women are only a small factor In the feminine world, tnd to many others the words of the specialist will come as a timely warn ing. Sewing has been neglected since the time ot our mothers. There aro comparatively few women who now pride themselves upon tbelr skill with the needle. On the contrary, interest has been given to trashy nov els, trashy plays, bridge and other distractions. This specialist says it it time tor American women to call a halt on tbelr nerve-racking pace, and points out truly they may find not only rest for their nerves, but positive pleasure, in embroidery or other kinds of needlework. lie makes an Important distinction, however. He warns women that quiet sewing, with the body well re laxed, Is conductive to good health and even temper, but the plying of ths noodle under any strain, such as Satin and buttons lead as popular trimmings. Wide tucks are found in sleeve? ot lace or net. Short skins have brought In the high heels again. The latest jackets and vests from Paris havo pockets. One dainty blouse has a close lat tice of tiny coral buttons for a vest. Inch strips of gold run through some of the handsome wide-flowered sash ribbons. Very smart turban hats are of the thick-napped beaver felt with velvet and wide trimmings. Open-meshed stockings are little favored, filet net in lisle and silk being the rago. Braided cheviot and serge have retained their popularity for sepa rate coats and suits. Woven bands of motal furnish a welcome novelty In trimmings for af. ternoon and evening gowns.
