FROM THIS THE PRESIDENT ESCAPES.

The annual house cleaning is now in progress
at the White House. 1t would require an expert
mathematician to figure out just how many
coats of paint, how many yards OF plastering and
how much expenditure of money there have been
lavished upon this historic old building. Every
year the interior is gone over and every year the
outside is either painted washed, SO that the
glistening wilderness may be retained.
The decorations of the executive mansion
need careful attention always, and the paint and
enamel work has to be kept clean and free from
all marks and scratches. The multitude of pil.
grims who annually visit this building is disposed
to be critical, and If any dirt or any DETACHMENT
