Abstract
The president's New York home in 1789 with Martha Washington as official hostess, the White House today with Eleanor Roosevelt presiding- One hundred and forty nine years separate the reigns of these two women as "first ladies" and "first homemakers" of the United States, but their views on the art of entertaining and making guests feel at home are indeed similar. They offer examples in hospitality which any homemaker would like to follow.
