DRAIN ON EXECUTIVE'S PRIVATE PURSE Number and Ma of President Entertainments Une surpassed—How the Bllls Are Patd, Roosevelt! The recent estimates sent tc congress for the expenses of the White House and the talk in the house of representatives in regard to alleged extravagances, have re- vived the gossip regarding the salary of presidents and the amount that it costs them to live and maintain the dignity of the presidential office. The president of the United States recelves a ualary of $50, 000 & year, says the New York Sun, this amount seems large or small to the people of the country, according to the point of view. Some presidents have been able to lay by a considerable part of their salary, and others have possibly exceeded their Income in defraying living expenses and the cost of entertaining guests at home and from abroad. 1t is commonly believed that President Cleveland and President Har.isom, and in lesser degree, President McKinley, saved a considerable part of thelr annual salaries. As a rule, entertaining on a large scale at the White House was not nearly as com- mon ten years'ago as it is now. The for- mal state dinners and receptions have been an established custom since the time of the first president, but the extent of the entertaining beyond these purely formal and necessary functions has depended very much on the tastes and inclinations of the men who happened to occupy the presi- dential office. President Roosevelt has beyond ques- tlon, surpassed all Ws predecessors in the magnitude and number of his entertain- ments. When Chester A. Arthur occupled the White House he surprised the people with the lavishness of his entertaining This was especiilly marked when he enter- tained at dinner at different times in the course of one winter the whole co:gr;:- rising more than 4vo men, besides :::,‘; mh:r guests invited with them. Bu | President Roosevelt bas been afinost as lavish in Ais entertalpment of senators number {han eny other president. Expensive Entertainments. The entertainments given by the Roose- velts have been. in many cases, of an ex- ceptionally expensive kind. Among the most elaborate were the musicales that were given frequently lart winter and have been resumed this season. The musicians were pald by the president and refresh- ments for several hundred guests were provided by him. Mrs. Roosevelt has glvew also a large number of large altermoon teas and receptions. Mr. Roosevelt attracted the attention of the public immediately after his sudden induction into office by inviting distin- guished men from all parts of the country to sit at his board. The object of this was not entirely soclal, for it was semi-ofi- clally announced that the new president wished to obtain the views of leading men everywhore in regard to public questions and policies, and not a day passed that did not see from four to twenty guests at the White House, breakfasting or luncheoning or dining with the president. These in- vitations were frequently given most in- formally and on the spur of the moment during the course of the day's busftness in his ofice. Immediately after he be- came president there was a crowd of vis- itors each day in his office. - He had not time to falk with them at length, and in some cases he wished to telk with them. He would shake hands with a man, tell him he was glad to see him, but very busy, and that he wisked especlally to have a talk with him, “Have you an engagement for luncheon?" he would ask. | “‘Please come at 1:30 and bave lunch with me." It this conversation happened place in 'the afternoon the men to dinner. Word was frequently sent down to the White House kitchens as late as an hour before a meal, saying that there would be from two to six extra guests at luncheon or dinner, the case might be. The president also entertained many persons at breakfast and he still maintains this practice. Paying the Bills. to take he would Invite The question as to what part of the White House expenses are borne by the president and what part by the government has recently been revived. The answer to this question s that the president bears a much larger proportion of the total ex- penses of the White House than is com- monly supposed. The first large expense is an outlay of from $5,000 to $10,000 for horses and carriages. The government provides no horse or vehicle for the president s use, although there is an impression to the contrary. This im- pression is a natural one, for the govern- ment does furnish two horses and a car- rlage for the use of each member of the cabinet. Many of the assistant secretaries in the executive departments have each one horse and carriage at the expense of the government, and more than one bu- reau chbief has a horse and carriage free of cost. The secretary to the president has a team of horses and a carriage. The White House ctables ar) furnished and maintdined out of the federal treasury, and the gov- ernment also pays the president's coach- man and footmen and stablemen. The White House is, of course, In the same category as other public bulldingy 80 far as furnishings and maintenance are concerned. Under the head of maintenance, however, the ordinary house servants are not included. The president pays his own servarnts aimost without exception. The White House steward is paid by the gov ernment, and one or two other helpers, who receive laborers’ wages, are pald by Uncle Sam. The laundry at the White House is main tained at the president's expense, although the superintendent of public buildings an} grounds, in his recent estimates to con- gress, sald that it would be necessary for the government to provide “two more helpers in tho laundry” at an expense of $26 per month each. Yet the statement has been made repeatedly at the White House, whenever inquiry has been made, that the laundry helpers, as weli as other servants in the mansion, are pald out of the president’s private purse The president, of course, bills for groceries, meats' and other pro- visions used in the White House. The china, table linen and all accessories of the kitchen and Aining room equipment are provided by the government, and always have been, just as the furniture for the parlors and sleeping rooms are provided. State Dinners. The expenses of a president, especially if he has a large family, as Mr. Roosevelt has, are naturally very heavy, for it is | mecessary for him to moet many expensca that a private citizen does not ineur. This leaves out of consideration altogether the expensive state entercainments.. Scarcely an additional dollar of extra expenditure 1s incurred by the government when the president gives & large state dianer, re- pays atl te In the case of a very large dinmer the arrangements are usually placed in the hands of a professional caterer and the conditions, so far as expense is con- cerned, ave not very much different from those which obtaln when a private citizen of means gives a large dinner at a fashion- able hotel. The bill for the entertainment 1s made out, in some cases at so much per plate, due allowance being made for cook- ing which is done at the White House and certain provisions which the White House storerooms afford. At the great state din- ners, however, a good deal of the food, especially in the way of desserts, Is brought by the caterers, and the bill is never a moderate one. The president also pays a la:ge number of extra waiters and kitchen helpers. It is probable that a state dinner, where seventy or elghty guests are enter- tained, costs the president from $500 to $800. Flowers at tie White House. A good deal has been said recently about flowers at the White House. The old con- servatory that stood on the site of the pes- ent office building did mot provide nearly all the flowers that were necessary for the White House entertainments. The great bulk of the flowers were brought from the propagating gardens in the Agricultural de- partment’s grounds, and this is the case {at present. Very few flowers are bought at the florists and the president has paid for these, unless in one or two instances when (he maiter was taken out of his bands and the flowers bought at goverr ment expense without his knowledge. The outlay in these exteptional cases would not have been made had the matter been called to the president’s attention. The expense for extra flowers is mparatively trivial, Not nearly as many plants and flowers are used in the White House as were used before the mansion was remodeled. The new rooms do not require de aticns of this sort. It used to be the invariable cus- tom to bring many dray loads of potted plants, palms and flowering plants from the | propagating gardens to decorate the man- sion on state occasions, and a large corps ‘al’ men from the propagating gardens were | employed in decorating the rooms. This | practice has been entirely done away with | this winter. To Divide Sew te. CAMDEN, N. J., March 14.—The final ac- counting of the estate of ex-United States Senator William J.

In the New York Tribune of January 2 a writer calls attention to the close resemblance of Julie Le Breton to Mile. Julie L'Espinasse, a brilliant leader of French soclety in the eighteenth centu-y. Mrs. Ward, in the Tribune of February 27, acknowledges the life and character of Mile. L'Espinasse as the source of inspira- tion of her novel. Here is the real story: When Mme. du Deffand, who maintained one of the most famous salons of the elghteenth century found herself growing old and blind, she looked about her for a companion. She found what she was seeking in Mlle. Julle L'Espinasse, the illegitimate child of a French woman of rank, who had been left alone at 15, without resources. Mme. du | Deffand was at onc> impressed with the un- | usual character of the girl and took her to | her home in Paris, where she spent the next ten years of her life, a slave to her autocratic mistress. She read to her by | the hour, helped to manage her household and attended to all the details of a social life which her patron’s il health and blind- ness made impossible. But what was more, she held the salon together by her own personality. All that was the best of | French soclety was represented at Mme. du Deftand’s. The leading men o state and letters, distinguts | all gathered there for | markable even in that day of brilllant wit Mme. du Deffand never appeared before 6 o'clock and soon the habitues of the salon formed a habit of dropping in before that time to see Mile. L'Espinasse alone. | 1ast Mme. du Defand learned this and in |8 jealous rege dismissed ber. churel d foreigners, onversation, re- Many of | and soon by their ald she was able to take a house in Paris and open a salon of her own, becoming the rival of her former mis- tress, who never forgave her. Here this unusual women without name, beauty or fortune made a distinguished place for herself in the French world. She did more than any other woman to aid the work of the encyclopedists. D'Alembert. Turgot and Marmontel were her devoted triends. With the intellect of a man, she bad the delicacy and tenderness of a woman. An unerring social instinct made her at- tract the most able men of France and draw out the best that was in them. Full of ardent enthusiasm {n that day of ennui, emotional In an age of cynical intellectual- ism, she was the idol of French society. One of her passionate nature could not escape love affairs, and we read of two— for we cannot count D'Alembert, for whom she seems to have felt the calmest friend- ship. The first lover was a young Spanish nobleman, Marquis Gonzalo de Mora, who dled while returning from Spain to Parls to see her. Her grief was very real, but by no means inconsolable, for we find her almost immediately forming an even more ardent attachment for Count de Guibert, a man eleven years younger than herself. He seems to have been flattered by the pref- erence of the distinguished woman, and made her professions of affection even while he was arranging a marriage with an heir- ess which would greatly advance him in the world. Mlle. L'Espinasse, with a break ing heart, alded him in his marriage, but her delicate health did not bear the strain, and she died soon after. The Real Characters.
