IT HERE is little doubt that a great
amount OF the comment and
criticism on the increased cost Of
maintaining the White House has had
its inception in the erroneous SUPPOSE
tion that the United States Government
pays for all the entertainments given by
the President and Mrs Roosevelt Tho
truth OF the matter Is. however. that
such Is no more the case than when the
head OF the nation and his family are
living in their own home at oyster Bay
