HOP, SKIP, AND JUMP NOW
ON ENTERING WHITE HOUSE
Presidents Seal in Bronze Inlaid in Floor, Causes
the Trouble.

Kangarooish.'
That's the word which describes the
movement of visitors going into the
north entrance of the White House since
it was formally reopened last week
This movement in no way resembles
the kangaroo walk which made Newport
famous It's a jump-the sort one sees
in the wilds Of Australia II is a cross
between the movement of boy playing
hop scotch and that of two boys running
a fhree-legged race.
And all this is caused by the bronze
Presidents seal which has been inlaid
In the White House reception room floor,
Just inside the north door The seal IS
beautifully wrought in bright metal, and
the eagle in II is raised more than half
an inch. so near-sighted people Will stub
their toe on it. This is the signal for
making the goose-lilIe efforts to avoid
the something on the floor which looks
as though il doesn't belong there.
Rheumatic cid ladies, and coy young
milkmaids (who look as though they
had spent half their lives bounding over
stiles are equally awkward in their
efforts 20 keep away from the seal.
Since the White House was reopened the

ushers have not seen a single person
step on the handsome piece of art work
The seal is the only novelty in the
reception room. Floors and walls have
been painted and polished, but every
thing is just the same as It was last
year, with the exception Of the bronze
eenterpiece which terrifies all strangers.

bearing the seals Of the thirteen original
states. does not make half as great an
impression as the new seal
Official guides have added the seal TO
their repertoire, and discuss it learnedly
already. For the benefit of persons who
are not familiar with the Presidents 5
insignia, the designer has surrounded IL
with the following words: The Seal OF
the President of the United States"
The words are not large enough. how
ever, to be read by persons walking, and
il is only after being halted rudely by
the fOrmida ble- looking centerpiece that
most visitors discover what it is.
