any- one In or out of official life who
should be on tbe White House lists,

Inviting The same guests to all of the,

f vus iun ju iii.iai i caovwo iui 1 1 in
ttlng the numbers at the several recep
tions Is tbe fact that during tills ad
ministration refreshments nre to be
aerved during the state receptloim.
This has not been doue sluee 1'iesideiit
Hayes' administration. Tbe facilities
for serving refreshments to so large a
company at the White House are com
paratively limited, of course, and tbe
guests to be invited must be reckoned
accordingly.
There Is a sentimental feature at
t ached to this restoration of refresh
ments at the receptions, for it was dur
ing tbe Hayes udinlnlntratlou that Mrs.
Taft tlrat visited and lived In tbe
White House as the boose guest of
President and Mrs. Hayes.
President Hayes was the taw part
ner of Judge Herron, Mrs. Tuft's fa
tber, and Mrs. Tsft speut many hap
py girlhood days in the executive umu
slon. It Is said that tbe reason re
freshments were cut out was because
tbe crowd of guests was usually so
great that It became virtually a mob.
Jacksen'a Chases Rsosptien.
Tbe early presidents all served re
freshments, sod In some instances s
festive pnncb bowl wss kept iu use. Ah
amusing Incident- In connection with
this subject occureed during the ad
ministration ef President Jackson. A
mammoth cheese, weighing 1.400
pounds, four, feet In diameter apd two
feet tbJokr'was presented to Jackson.
The genial Jackson- gave a Uorgr
Washington's blrtbdrfy reception oo
Feb. 23f 1 1887. -and Invited hi fellow
cMlccns to flair the' White Bouse be:
vween 1 abd S aad. tasta the cheese.
Tbe cttteeoa came to It tune of abool
10,000 or more. - The seest adjonmed
to attend tbe cheese reception, while
tbe obdurate' boose of represents tlves
wss restrained by a scanty msjorlty
from attendbig ea jiusse. The cheese
aa eateo, but tbeTarpeta and fornl
tore of the east voora were ruloed.
