horses in the White House stables that
can be used TO draw the Presidents car

wife wish 10 go riding they will hire
them from the stables of a fashionable
IluluS SCHOOL not Tar from the mansion.

welt arrive in Washington this evening
they viii find not only the White House.

attractive array possible.
Mrs. ROOsevelt's Colonial flower gar
dens on either side of the south front
balcony are in fine shape and for the
first time she will see them gay with
kitchen garden blossoms.
The beds on the lower side of the north
lawn next to Pennsylvania Avenue. have
never thriven, and will probably he
much OF a disappointment to their
originator.
Although only a few Cabinet officials
are here they Will meet with the PresI-
dent tomorrow 10 make the reports OF
their departments.
The first fully attended meeting Of yhe
Cabinet viii be on Tuesday, when Sec
