tfnctive feature is the front hall with
its pretty open winding stairway with

access to three different rooms-an
unusual feature in house construction.
OF course there are many long. wind

case the hall couples very little
space, but the convenience and artis-

more pretentious. 1t is a great thing
in building to utilize space to the best
advantage. Measurements are arbi-
trary. In given ground space the
fact must be recognized that the en-

the next one must be smaller. This
hall Is large enough for all practical
purposes and 1t leaves plenty OF
room for the parlor, dining room and
sitting room.

There is now visiting in this city an
old lady, Mrs. Fanny L. Cleveland, Of
Marietta, Ga. While school girl in
Philadelphia about the year 1884, nearly
IA years ago, she went to Washington
to see the sights. and while there she
attended reception given by President
Andrew Jackson. Although an aged
lady, Mrs. CleveIand's memory is very
clear, and she talks most Interestingly
of her visit to Washington and all she
saw. She describes President Jackson
as he is known in this day and time by
his pictures, spare, erect, short, stubby
hair. standing up from high, narrow
forehead. She joined the long line Of
visitors, and as they passed Jackson
they shook his hand, and Immediately
behind Mrs. Cleveland was foreigner
who, as he passed, made low obeisance
and dropped on his knees. President
Jackson. though democrat in practice
as we'll as theory. did not notice this
and made no protest. Mrs. Jackson
was not present.
The reception which Mrs. Cleveland
attendedEwas held in the East room,
and the two large fireplsces were
heaped with blazing logs, as it was very
cold One of the young ladies of the
party knew the senator from Georgia
at that time, and 1T was through his
courtesy that they were admitted to
the floor of the senate. The senate in
those days was a small body and met
in a small room now used as the su.
preme court room.
It was in this room that she saw John
@. Calhoun, Henry Clay and Daniel
Webster. The senate was debating the
removal of the United States deposits,
and Senator Clay had the floor and held
it for two days. Every now and then
Senator Clay would request Daniel
Webster to read for him.
Mrs. Cleveland stopped at Browns
tavern, now the Willard hotel. One of
the party asked colored waiter what
was thought of Andrew Jackson as
president, and he replied: Fine. He
sits his horse we'll"
