WHITE HOUSE CARPETS.
Mrs. Harrison Delighted that the Work OF
House-cleaning is over.
JY1sbinGtoR star.


The new carpet of the White House
corridor, OF which 400 yards were re-
ouired, is in keeping with the general
artistic treatment of the house. 1t has
n ground of moss green, with small
fgure Of deep cream or buff color. 1t
makes the corridor very cheerful and
bright, and especially at the west land
ing. which the ladies of the household
use as sort of sitting-room. This car
net and the new one for the East room
were selected personally by Mrs. Har-
rison from an immense number OF sam
pies shown her early in the Fall.
The East room carpet had to be es-
pecially woven, as the ordinary rolls
come lust once and half the length OF
the room aud II used would entail piec-
ing every other width, or wasting just
that much. Consequently each roll was
woven twice the length Of the room. 1t
REQUIRES SIS yards TO cover 1t. This
enormous quantity came 10 the White
House in several big rolls and was then
put together. The color OF the carpet
harmonizes with the golden browns and
creams in the furniture coverings and
window draperies and in quality Is one
NJ the hest ever laid In the room. The
satisfaction Mrs. Harrison is experien-
cling in seeing the changes in the man
sion so near a complete finish Is very
deep. The impression is general that
the White house was never as attractive
as at present and that anything she has
ordered or designed has been wisely and
well thought out. .
