coLoNNADE CONNECTING THE TWO WHITE HOUSES

building are vet in a state of Incomplete
ness. The contractor is rushing the work
so as to have the house ready for the
opening of the social season. One of the
most important changes is the making of
state dining room. Heretofore the
dining room has been so small that on all
state occasions it was necessary to have
the dinner in the hall or in one Of the
parlors. This will not be necessary, as
the dining room has been enlarged so
that 100 guests may be seated at one time
in the dining room. The enlargement
has been accomplished by the removing
Of the wall on the north side of the din
ing room and the taking in of the hall
way into which the stairs from the sec
ond floor entered The entire space Occur
pied by the hallway and stairs has been
given to the state dining room. The floors
of the dining room are being laid in oak
parQuetry and the walls are Of dark Eng
lish oak. The walls will be adorned by
relics Of a kind never before seen there.
These will be the heads of some of The
wild and game animals that have fallen

great deal of money has been spent in
making over the historic rooms that have
been open to the public from time imme-
mortal. But in addition to this there has
been thousands of dollars expended in
the underpinning and foundations where
it cannot be seen by the public. This
was rendered necessary by the insecure
condition of the building. which for some
time has been a source of concern to
those who were acquainted With It. and
which made il necessary to exercise great
precaution at public receptions and other
functions where large crowds hocked 10

now possible TO form a definite idea OF
what has been done with the half million
dollars that was appropriated for the
purpose of making over the old mansion
together with the $4,000 that was SET
aside for the purpose of building the new
executive office which is intended to re-
lieye the Presidents family of the annoy
ance of living in house that is practi-
cally public Office binding.
For century the White House has
been show place for the people and
there is probably no other building IN the
world used as residence which has been
visited by so many persons. People all
over the United States are familiar with
the salient features of this building,
which has been the home of our Pres;-
dents for so many years. Those WAC
have become acquainted with it either
through personal visits or through the
endless descriptions and pictures of il
that have been published will be surpris-
ed TO see so little outward change in the
White House.
Outward Changes.
The expenditure of $4,000 might be
expected to make notable alteration in
its appearance. But the outward evil
dence is found principally in the addition
of the wings which run east and west
from the main building. AT the termi-
nus of the west wing is the executive
Office of the President, the new building
which the President occupied last Week
for the first time. A portion of the wing
leading to the Presidents office is really
the remOdeled foundation of the old con-
servatory of the White House. The top
of the conservatory was removed and tie
lower portion was allowed to remain and
to be converted into terrace. The
south portion of the terrace will contain
a colonnade and in the lower portion Will
be five or six rooms for the laundry and
domestic purposes of the White House
Some of the rooms may be used for SER
wants quarters if desired. The Presi-
dent uses the walk along the colonnade
in going to and from his house to the
office. has nothing to do but go right

his office. His movements will be abso-

A feature of this colonnade, as we'll as
full balustrade The terrace has para
pet walls about two and half feet high,
forming a balustrade of unusual attrac-
ton. The parapet walls of the balus
trade will be adorned with electric lights
and ported plants, and whenever Mrs.
Roosevelt sees fit. she can give any So
cial function, like tea, on the balus-
trade with great pleasure to herself and
guests. The floors of the balustrade are
of granolithic cement. A stairway leads
from the Selastrade down to the little
hallway entering the Presidents private
Office.
On the east side of the White House
will be similar terrace. the main pur-
pose of which will be the comfort aud
convenience of the invited guests to the

functions.

FLAG ON Two-cENT STAMPS.

Since 1860 There Had Been No Such
Use of Stars and Stripes.
For the first time since 1869 the Post-
Office Department with the issuance of
the new series of stamps now in prepara-
ton, will make use of the American flag
in one of its designs. This win be part
of the two-cent stamp, which, by the
way, will bear little resemblance to the
one now current. The familiar portrait
of Washington will be succeeded by a
photograph taken from Gilbert Stuart's
famous painting. This bust of Washing
ton, so long known TO the stamp-using
public. was drawn from HoudOn's profile
