Mr.. oLEvELAND's COTTAGE.
The work Of remOdeling the Presidents
country house, Just outside of Washington, is
advancing rapidly, and day by day il begins 10
look more and more picturesque and less an
tique Itis expected that the work will be COM
pleted about the LIST Of October and the house
placed in condition for immediate occupation.
Meanwhile the grounds have been placed in
order, and il is more than probable that the
President will be able TO spend some time Mt
his new place before cold weather sets in.
Many of the improvements which are being
made In the grounds are done under Mrs.
Geyeland's supervision, for in the cooler part
. OF the day she generally spends some time at
tho cottage watching the workmen as they
gradually transform the sOmber old mansion
into pleasant, comfortable and attractive sub
urban villa. The house when completed will
have on the ground floor two parlOrs. a recep-
tion-roOm and a diniDg-rOom. One of the par
Tors the President will have fitted up as his
study, and this apartment will come strictly
under his jurisdiction. The upper floors will
each contain four commodious sleeping apart
mcnts. The features of the exterior are tho
broad and pleasant piaZzas surrounding the
house aud the high and picturesque roof o
tiles
