SOUVENIRS FROM
THE WHITE HOUSE
FAME SPREAD ABROAD OF CANES
FROM MANSION TIMBER-FLOOR
ON WHICH LINCOLN STOOD.

Col. William II. Crook, the veteran
disbursing officer of the White House,
some time ago arranged to give a few
canes or historic value to his friends.
When the interior of the Executive
Mansion was being torn to pieces by
the contractors who are remodeling
the building Colonel Crook obtained
some of the flooring in the room used
for so many years by Presidents. He
was especially careful in selecting JOr-
lions of the flooring over which ] in
coin had walked, sat and done busine $
in the trying days of the counIry's MIS-
tory. No man in Washington knew
better the habits of President Lincoln
around his office than Colonel Crook
whose first work at the White House
was as a bOdyguard for the great war
executive. Many a day and night Col
Onel Crook, who was then policeman
on the city police force, remained with
and near to President Lincoln. His
mind is full of "reminiscences of just
how the famous President worked,
what kind of a desk he used, how ne
handled himself and other details of
personal interest. On obtaining the
flooring from the particular spot he
had selected Colonel Crook sent the
timber to a wood workman and had 4
dozen or so canes made for presentd-
ton to his friends, who appreciated
most highly the gifts because they
We're confident of their historic value.
Mention of the canes was made in The
star with the consequence that during
the last two months Colonel Crook has
been overwhelmed with requests for
these souvenirs The Stars news item
was copied widely throughout the
United States, and requests have
reached Colonel Crook from the most
remote quarters Of the country and
several from Americans who are
abroad. Naturally Colonel Crook has
been unable to meet the demand, and
in addition he has been kept busy with
a gratuitous correspondence. To the
reporter who had aided in bringing
him all this trouble he said: 1t is
wonderful how far that little item
travelled and how much work it has
caused me. OF course | cannot COM
ply with the requests of these people.
l soon gave out all the canes | had
and, really, | am debating whether to
part with the one ] saved for myself.
l am told that there is a demand from
all parts of the country for souvenirs
from the White House."
Several female organizations of a
| benevolent and charitable nature in
Washington have gathered hundreds of
pieces of timber and other articles
from the wreck of the interior of the
White House and propose to convert
them into small souvenirs to be sold
here and elsewhere, the proceeds to be
used by the organizations in their
work The relic hunting at length in
terfered so seriously with the work of
the contractors that visitors and the
few who were admitted got in by a
card from the superintendent IN
charge Washington Star.

FAD FOR WOMEN

An article in Pearsons magazine tells
of the latest fad in rejuvenation for
women. A woman tired OF constantly
rouging applied to Gambler Bolton, the
famous tattOoing expert. After numer-
Gus experiments, including one that
left a patch of pale pink below his
right eye, the artist consented to per-
firm the operation. The subject left
the studio with the freshest ara dain-
test of complications, and one warrant
ed not to wash off, but fixed for the
rest of her days.

SHE TREATS DOUBLE cHlNs.
Success of London Masseuse Who
Finds That 1t Pays to Be Mysterious.
(NeW York Sun.

An enterprising masseuse has estab-
lshed herself among the fashionable
dressmakers and milliners in Conduit
street, London, and is making a small
fortune by what she calls face improve
ment. Her speciality is treating double
chins, but she is equally ready to round
out a sharp one if that is desired.
The method is exactly the same as
that pursued by score of women in
this country to remove wrinkles and
rub away superfuous flesh; but in Lon
don this woman finds it desiable to
spice it little with an air OF mystery.
All her patrons are bound to secrecy as
to the methods she employs, but of
course she employs, but of course some
of them break faith.
Equally, of course, she has clients in
almost embarrassing numbers. She is
a woman with charming manners, these
clients say, and she displays in her re-
ception room photographs of half the
women famous in European society
and stage life.
