Daughters of Presidents
The recent death of a daughter of Presi
dent Xachary Taylor raises tho ipiestiou of
how many presidents' dauglitois nro now
living.
lu thu I.iiuIho Homo nt Washington Is a
charming nnd interesting woman, now an
octogenarian, who once diffused an iitmos
phero of gaiety ami brightness throughotli
tho executive mansion, lending something
of her natural brightness ami churuiing
personality to such of thu Whlto House
functions as she presided over, for In those
lays it was not at all tho functions by
any means that women were present. In
deed, excepting the dinners given tho cabi
net olllcers nnd the diplomatic corps, there
was but one occasion, during .Mrs. Semplo'
residence at the White House, when women
were present at public dinners, and that
w.ia when tho Prince de .loiuvllle was en
tertained there.
To the public dinners, which were given
fortnightly, men alone were bidden, and
when (he president received he stood well
out In (he middle of the room, while the
women of his household stood modestly In
the bnckgroiiuil.
It wns owing to the scml luvalldisin of
President Tyler's wife that the duties of
llrst lady of the laud deoled upon Mis
Sctnplo, nnd nemo was holier lilted to fit 1 It 1 1
them than tho gifted and beautiful daughter
of President nnd Mrs. Tyler, who was for a
time virtually tho mistress of the executive
mansion, 0110 of tho fairest and noblest
It has ever known.
Mrs. Semplo was a young matron then
Mr. Semplo, who was paymaster In the
United States navy, was absent much or
the time. Mrs. Hubert Tyler was 11 mem
her of (ho presidential household, tint was
occupied with her young family, mid Miss
llllznheth Tyler, who afterward married
Mr. Waller, was then but a young girl
Many are the Interesting reminiscences
which Mrs Semplo can relate of tho life at
the White House sixty years ago. Though
it was quite simple, still there was a eer
tain dlgnltlcd ceremouiousness attached to
It. 'Pie early breakfast, midday dinner,
nftern ion drive nnd ii o'clock tea made
up the daily routine.
The women wore low-necked gowns
short-walsted, and with scanty, clinging
skirts, too short to conceal their dainty
high-heeled slippers. The hair was w.rn
parted smoothly on the forehead, and a
cluster of llttlo curls almost hid the eats
Pretty faces and bright eyes were enlniii. ed
by the guy Mowers and ribbons heaped
In profusion on enormous Leghorn bonnets
extending fnr over the face, and cushions
of hair, or eiderdown, held (he huge ' leg
of mul ton" sleeves In shape.
The men were resplendent In buff waist
coat, green coats, frilled shirt fronts and
collars so high Mint they half concealed
the cheeks and made (he turning of the
head a dlllleult task.
It was during Tyler's administration that
dancing wns Introduced nt the White
House, mid owing to his daughter's grace
mid wit the functions at (ho exccutlvo ninn
slou lost some of their prim stiffness.
Mrs Semplo was her father's constant
companion and her ambition wns to be ns
good, rather than ns clever ns her f I'her
For all that, her rolgn at the Whlto House
was one of intellect as well ns beauty
This Intellect yet shows In tho noble
brow nnd strong features, bo strikingly llko
John Tyler, nnd a beauty still belongs to
tho octogenarian, as it did to the young
girl and to the matron. The once brown
curls, though snowy white now, are scarcely
less glossy than of yore nnd none would
dream that the large, lustrous dark eyes
