FOR A LARGER WHITE HOUSE.
The Plan Which Was Prepared Under McKineys
Supervision.

side. Beneath each flight of steps per-
tanning to the west or east wing would
be space affording shelter for six car
riages at once so that there would be
no crowding. Cloak rooms and all 9TH
er convenlences for guests are provided
beneath the new state dining room and
the great reception room.
Notwithstanding the serious and OBJ
vlous need for the enlargement OF the
White House, vigorous opposition has
been offered to the new plan by archi-
tects and others, who express a fear
that the Integrity OF the historic build
Ing may be marred by alterations. Most
Of the architects want 10 have finger

are 10 be made. and some Of them have
eagerly condemned the Bingham plan.
Nevertheless 1t Is worth remarking

terations, have been delighted with IL.

Atlanta, Ga.-The social event Of The
