for five years to come. The DAWelye
Empress Of China gave her tNery
bolts OF embroidered crepe in even
shade known to the dyer's art. The
MISS Roosevelt has bolts galore of finA
embroidered cambria and linen, beau
tful enough. for an Empress lingerie.
She has dozens of weblike lace and
embroidered silk stockings, and para
sols of all eolors, with jeweled han
dies. She also has lace covers and
fans enough to stock a store.
Things DO wear are only one portion
OF the gifts. Some of the most gor-
geous are three or four huge Japan
csc screens Of rarest decoration, some
pieces Of furniture and draperies for
the walls, windows and doors. These
Miss Roosevelt intends to use. and
some of the furnishings of her bed
room and boudoir are being removed
to make place for them.
The screens are masterpieces Of
Oriental art and will be put in the
state parlors. It is also stated that
owing to their value and uniqueness
the President may wish them put in
the White House, TO be part of the
historic possessions of the mansion.
Some of the draperies are equally
costly and may share the same fate.
The presidents daughter will wear
some glorious strings Of jade beads
this winter, a gift of the Mikado, and
her stock of jewelry will be increased
by a pearl ring from the Sultan Of
sulu, bracelets and pendants from the.
Emperor OF China, and many curious
and costly ornaments for her hair.
Nearly all the souvenirs are typical of
the country and mementoes of her
soJourn among the Eastern people.
The Empress of Japan sent her the
dainty little teaset used for her enter
tainment, and the gifts from Picking
contained many Of the pretty porce-
lain ornaments which adorned her
rooms. There are in the lots labeled
"Miss Roosevelt" a few boxes be-
longing TO Miss Mcmillan and Miss
Boardman, who were Miss Roosevelt
travelling companions.
There are also gifts for Mrs. Roose-
