ALTERATIONS IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

ALTERATIONS IN THE WHITE HOUSE
The White House is at present under
going repairs and alterations The
room hitherto used as the ante room
is being fitted up for the use of the
President, as his reception room, in
the future. The partition that for
merly divided the room, to form a
screened passage from the West wing
to the late Executive Chamber, has
been removed, and blind door will
be placed at the entrance to the hall
entrance, to permit free circulation
of air
The room hitherto used by the Pre-
sident as an audience chamber will be
fitted up to receive the Presidents
secretaries, and the room formerly
occupied by them will be devoted to
the use of the Executive clerks.
Thus, all of the officers are brought
into connection, which will prove
much more advantageous and conve-
nient than when separated from each
other by halls or Passages.
The ante-room for the use of the
ladies who are waiting to see the Pre-
sident, Will henceforth be the room
opposite the one formerly used by the
President, and will be much larger,
lighter and cooler than the room pre-
viously used for that purpose.
