were afforded the opportunity of greeting
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt and ex-
changing With them the compliments Of
the season No distinctions were made
except such as were rendered necessary
In the preservation OF order, and the
greetings extended to a1l-high and low.
rich and poor-were alike cordial and sim
cere.
To-day the general public, for the first
time, had an opportunity to see the wide
-ly heralded improvements IN the White
House improvements which when COM
pleted will have cost about. s600.000. In
addition to a desire. personally to wish the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt happy
New Year, hundreds of persons were at
tracted to the reception by a wish to see
the White House in It's new and hand
some interior finish, and furnishing. To
many who were familiar with the interior
Of the mansion as it was q. year ago the
changes made were a revelation. While.
in general way. the form of the interior
has been retained in beauty and effective
ness it is wholly different.
Just 102 years ago to-day, President
John Adams and his wife opened the
White Houseswith q. New Years reception
to their friends and to tho public gem
orally. The dawn of the first fete day

was accompanied by the noise Of saw and
hammer. as was this day. On account Of
the unfinished condition of the lower
floor, President and Mrs. Adams received
their guests in room on the second floor,
now occupied by President Roosevelt as a
library. While the improvements now
are more nearly completed than was the
mansion itself at that time, it will be
several months before the worlmen will
have finished their task.
