Washington letter to Baltimore Sun
OfcourSe, the ceutre of attractive receptions
was at the executive mansion. The east room,
newly adorned was opened to the public Tor
the first time during the season. The "hite
house never presented more brilliant APP
pearance, the interior Of which Is dsscrloed "a

about the East room Is new except the brick
walls and the carpet. After II was discovered
that the ceiling was ursae 1t was determined
to tear out The walls aud remodel the entire
rrom. There are now three partitions OF the
c.i ing aud CoiinthIau Columns supporting the
frame work. These columns, as we'll as the
man,els, pier tables. chrnceS. and chalr ooracr-
ing are painted white and relieved with goo
The ceiling Of the central division Is pale gray
grruac with small stars OF blue end gold. The
divisions on either side are gray, with large
centre pieces in gold and bordering OF the salue
The walls are covered with papler lnach,, that
is. they are papered with gray paper that has
had the god leaf applied after being put on
There are thr:e magnificent crystal and silver
chandeliers These chandeliers have each
forty four burners, with concealed reflector
underneath. There are six superb mirrors,
with frames of white and gold. The cornlccs
for the curtains are the same, as are the pms
that f;,stcn back the drapcry Of the curtains.
The curtains and furniture are of gray satin,
with wide border Of maroon velvet The un-
dernealh curtains are OF the most exquisite
lace, while the heavy curtaius are lined With
canary colored silesi. All the portraits have
been removed from the East room, as there
are no panels where they could be hung to ad-
vantage, for the frames all differ in size. The
full length portraits OF Washington, Lincoln,
Fillmore and Scott are in the Green parlor,
while the halt-size portraits Of Polk, Pierce;
Adams, Van Buren, and Tyler are in the hall
next to the parlors. The Blue room has been
retouched both as to the walls and the turni-
ture and presents the appearance of one OF the
haudsomeSt drawiDg-rooms in the country. The
carpets in all the rooms We're covered.
