winter food to his deng If you meet him

or those of the plane tree and stuffs then
carefully into his cheek pockets to carry
them to his den. When he cannot fine

DESIGNS SUGGESTED FOR HOME OF PREGsIDENT.

enough for any recreation he may desire.
lie may want a billiard table or a bowling
alley. These he should have. though not
necessarily al the expense of the public
The point is that his house should be large
enough for billiards and bowling if he de-
sires them.
Gen. Grant, a happy. hearty and whole
souled man, wanted a billiard table To
secure it he partitioned off a part of the
conservatory and placed a Billiard table
there one that / now have in my own
house. The general bought it himself for
he never asked faYors of the government.
The home of the President should have a
place for both conservatory and billiards,
and the President could please himself by
providing them or not as he sees fit.
Were the President to have a separa te
home of his own and distinct Office hours
he could probably accomplish more in six
hours of work than he now does in twenty
four interrupted hours; and then, visiting
foreigners or friends OF the President
could be entertained as in any gentleman s
home. The suggestion is made of a wing,
built as an addition to the white house
But this, while an Improvement would
not secure privacy.
IAN idea which is, / think, an original
one and not bad. is that in case of objec-
ton to the expense of building a Presi-
dents home. the white house should be
taken in one of the buildings for the use
of the executive. The Secretary of the
Navy and other portfolio carriers now are
provided for in this way.
THE President of the United States is
a hard worker, and it is only fair that he
should be given the private home of a
gentleman" James Barton.

New York. Jan. 22.-The bill recently in
trodced for building the President of the
United States better home has interested
all who have ever lived within the walls Of
the white house. Among the earnest sup
porters of the bill is Col. Fred Grant, who
is willing to work for 1t.
AT this time" said Col Grant, when
there is change of administration, there
is Away smore or less talk about the
house in which the President of the United
States is to live through his four years Of
public servitude.
The President, as a public servant and
in one way the guest Of the nation during
these four years, seldom speaks Of bis
quarters, save in chance way. or when
petitioninG for something of absolute ne
cessity, but il is time that the public
should know that the white house is not
all that is desirable for the President of
the United States.
Any thinking man and every statesman
knows that the white house has out
grown itself and the country AT the
time the white house was built there were
no railroads running into Washington,
and the only arrivals were by means of
two stages per day that came into the
capital with their burden of human
freight. Many local statesmen never Wis
tied the capital city.

CLUTCH TREAT IN SOCIETY.
Fashionable Folks Pleased With the
Idea of Defraying Their own

From the New York journal.
Dutch treats and freedom" is the new
slogan of the four hundred the first note
of the battle cry having been sounded by
Miss Helen Van Cortlandt de Peyster. She
is leading society on to freedom in cause
that meets approval on all sides.
A "Dutcn treat" according TO the Ger
man code of social ethics, is where each
man pays for his schooner. Not that
sweldom is addicted to schooners. for the
rule can be applied in other directions, like
theater parties and the banquets that
come later. Society is much pleased with
the idea.
What the pioneer Dutch tceater proposes
for the amelioraton OF the four hundred
is to organize a Dutch Treat Theator Club.
Each member OF the party pays for his or
her seat. carriage nire and the pro rata
OF the supplementary supper, watch all en-
JOY at the conclusion OF the performance.
Miss De Poyster has sent notes to the
fashionable girls and TO a few of the lead
ing sweils, asking them to become charter
members. It'll Is understood that the swells
responded with alacrity. and ii is thought
that the FIRST Dutch treat viii be enjoyed
