lady found the building anything but

said that not a single apartment was
finished; no fence, no yard, no oonven

a twentieth part of lamps enough to
light it.”
With the families of the president's
cabinet Hn<l n few invited guests from
Georgetown Mrs. Adams celebrated
the tirst Christmas at the White
House, but her letters clearly show
that she was not entirely happy in the
unfinished "great house In the wilder
ness." and after four months she re
turned to the family estate at Quincy,
Mass., and during her husband's ad
ministration did not return save on
visits.
Thomas Jetferson'a White House
Christmases were truly after the *‘Jef
fersonicn simplicity” style. Mr. Jeffer
son was a widower, and when he came
to Washington In lSbl <o lie inaugural
ed as chief executive he rode horse
back from his estate at Monticello un
accompanied by even a servant. He
w as the tirst president to take the oath
of office in Washington, and the recep
tion at the White House that evening
was the greatest .affair during his ad
ministration. He had four daughters,
the eldest. Martha, presiding at the
White House during her father's see
oud administration. While Christmas
bad oat laeu celebrated to any extent
during the drat administration. Hiss
Martha made it exceedingly Intereating
after ahe' baeame the flrat lady. Christ
mas trees and eutertainmenta of every
kind went arranged for the children,
and hi these the president would take
While James Madison aerved two full
terms— 1809-1W7—as president, be and
his beautiful wife. Defly. did net
•pend all of these in the White House,
but It was a Jsyeus Christmas each
year for them. Mrs. Madison would
no* have it any other way. In fact, the
eight years of Madiaon'a adminlstiV
tlon wene the most brilliant as well as
most exciting In tbs history of Anieri
can society. Before the British sacked
and burned the White House in Au
gust. 1814. Mrs. Madison had far five
years shown Washington folk hew to
celebrate Christmas. It was the bril
liant woman's pleasure to entertain
rather to please her friends than to
gain glory for herself, and each Christ
mas was indeed a joyous season tor
every Inmate of the White House, from
the humblest servant to the president.
Mrs. Madison always incited many of
her friends to these Christmas celebra
tioas, and during the holiday week
there was always one evening set
apart far the entertainment of her lit
tle friends, the children. After the
British soldiers Interrupted the morn
ing breakfast at the White House and
made a bonfire of the building the pres
ident took up his residence In the not
ed Octagon hones, where they resided
for about two yearn and then moved
to a reside!te at the corner of Nine
teenth street and Pennsylvania aTenue.
la these twe houses Mrs. Madison con
tinued to dispense Christmas cheer, but
°« a smaller scale.
French methods of cooking and serv
ing dinners at the White House were
inaugurated by Mra Jamas Monroe In
1M7. when her husband became chief
executive, and along with the Christ
ians turkey, baked in the "Ole \ irginy
•trie, outlandish dishes cams into
vogue.
Although it Is a matter of history
that in 1826. about a year after John
tfuui«-y Adams took the oath of odice
as president, congress protested against
• bit! for billiard tables for tbe White
House, declaring billiard playing a
species of gambliug and "alarming to
the religions, moral and the reflecting
[’• .liou of the community." President
Adams was not a spendthrift, and it
a s a dffiieult matter to get hint to
agree to Christmas celebrations. He
b- ieved In great simplicity, and econ
omy coi.irol!.-<i every action of his life,
even to wearing one hat for ten years.

the result was that then ami there the
domestic 1'artnership was threatened
w ith dissolution
It was the tirst tune sinoe they had
sr? tip bousekeepiug iu a bachelor
apartment three years lie fore that they
hail nail a disagreement
Maurer hail tlung hiuiself nut of the
room with never a good by. ami Nisi
liad sat hiiiiselt down at tils drawing

way the oentral figure iu a set of Il
lustrations he was doing for a story,
blissfully ignoring the fait that the
author's heroine was tali, above the
ordinary, a fair haired goddess of the
Xorselaud. while the girl across Hie
way was |ie!ite and do ideally dark.
Maurer did not return to dress for
dinner, ami N<"d was fast asleep by
the time he did come In There was
no reoimniug of the dtscussiou. and in
the morning the dash of the day be
fore was tacitly ignored
More titan a week passed anil the
cloud had blown away when Maurer,
waiting for hi* breakfast to tie sent
up from the restaurant in the build
ing. sjipronrhed the window and gave
a low w histle of surprise
“You're right, old man.” he cried,
“and I’ll eat all the humble pie you
care to fei*d ttte. That girl Is a god
dess in miniature.”
Ned sprang to the window, a pleased !
smile of triumph on his face. But the
smile faded when he lookta! closely.
“It's awfully rood of you to say so',
old chap.” he said gratefully, “but I'll
eat that pie myself. Funny I should
have thought her such a stunner
She's a goal looker but nothing like
the ddess Fit* been raving about.”
“!>on't be a bcastiy fool." urgisl
Maurer politely "You're an artist
You ust know that she s one woman

"Go. si"' echoed Maurer. "Of course
It's good, mid il lolls mo that I hat girl
Is a remarkable beauty."
“Xom^tise:" scoffed Nisi "She's
good looking, but e.nnmonplaee There
are hundreds like her."
Maurer turned a look of inerrable
scorn ti|H»u his friend and silently
made Ids way to the table, where the
breakfast now was spread
The meal was eaten In silence, and
for a second time within ten days
Maurer departed for tils office without
the "flood luck in your work, old man."

Itoard Ned went to the window, and
for a long half hour lie stud!, d the
dainty figure sewing liy the window

drawing in a girl who was tall and
plump and w hose hair glinted yellowy

and lie li.td wondered the afternoon
before If the girl would see It nnd.ree

nothing else hut ph-ture* of her since
1hat first morning, and now he wan

That evening Mauser auioked hla

still test hurt to forget all that had
hern said In the heat of paaalon.
though lie had forgotten the things lie
had said t« Ned at the first disagree

While there was a careful observ

was lacking the real regard that bad
made them something more than

Then as he was dressing one morning

Maurer paid the larger share of the
