Writing Of "The White House Collection
Of Presidential Ware in the october Cen

trusted the work Of perfecting the collee-
ton, says:
zone morning, soon after the collection
was put in order, Colonel Symons, who
was enthusiastically interested In all things
historical pertaining to the White House,
in emulation of a custom which had been
followed by many of the chief executives
asked the president and Mrs. Roosevelt to
plant a tree on the south lawn Of the man
sion. After the simple ceremony was over,
as they came back to the house, they
passed through the east corridor and
stopped to admire the cabinets Of china.

dent, with his characteristic energy, this
is a fine beginning; but 1T ought to be
carried on now until II contains some ware
representative Of every administration
"The presidents wife agreed with him,
and while delegating the search for and the
Identification of the ware to the writer.
Mrs. Roosevelt has, by unremitting interest
ana endeavor. almost made, and ultimately
will make, the complete collection an ac-
complished fact. The work has been car
riel steadily forward, although II has not
been an easy matter to secure the ware
which IS Of such historic as well as intrin-
sic value. Through the public press 1t was
made known that the collection had been
started, and In order to secure their CO.
operation wherever II was possible the de-
scendants OF the presidents were CORES
ponded with or seen personally, and a mum
Der of valuable contributions were So
cured In that way. From the first Mrs,
Roosevelt desired that the collection should
be a patriotic one, and that the pieces for

than purchased. While this has sometimes
added to the difficulty OF obtaining the
ware, it Is made the collection OF vastly

Feet Incresse in sIue.

1t is now declared by one who has given
years OF extensive study to 1t that our
feet are not only growing larger, but the
increase In size IL alarming.
All women, he says, are undergoing this
change. He does not put It down to any
one reason, but states the fact. In Paris
the bootmaksrs acknowledge that women's
feet are larger by inches than they were
thirty years ago, and that the orders for
shoes show an increase in size every year,
In America there is nc hiding the fact
that women are wearing larger shoes than
ever before. Before this became universal,
women tried to hide the fact. Now they
openly admit to number skies and worse.
In the south, where the women do not
exercise, the average shoe was a number
l or 3 Now the southern women wear
number 3 and 4 without shame.
One comforting thing Is that the fOet are
not getting wider. although they are per-
sistently getting longer.

this city It is said that number 7 is q nor

October. There Is less bridal ostsntation,

IL more or less public. says the New York
Evening Post, and many families cherish
the belief that the ceremony OF marriage
should be celebrated within church walls.
However, for those who wish to avoid the
trouble and expense that such service
usually entails, there is the English ex-
pedisnt Of invitation verbally or by note,
and a slipping quietly into a church door
at the appointed hour, There are no brides
maids; usually no ushers. There may or
may not be maid OF honor and best man;
there is no music, no display. Afterward
bride and bridegroom talk for a few mo-
ments with the handful Of guests and then
are driven away for the honeymoon.
For the home wedding there Is nothing
prettier than an old southern fashion. In
vitations are sent. consistent with the size
OF the house, but dearest friends and rela.
tves are hidden a half-hour earlier thar
the rest. and are expected TO arrive

the ceremony is performed. Then the re.

was worked into a design with lacy open
work stitchery OF coarse silver thread.
Some Of the same trimming appeared on
the sleeves. close little collar of ermlne
was surmounted by a frill Of silver tissue
inside of which was a frill Of white lace.
A pale silvery blue satin coat much like
the white model had chinchilla collar, and
in the same shop was an exquisitely draped
coat OF creamy pink satin edged with a
narrow line Of dark brown fur and fatty
applied silver Lace.
Audacious but exceedingly chic was a
cape coat Of broadcloth and chiffon taf-
feta which our artist has sketched. The
color was the same light, bright carna-
ton to which We have already referred, a
beautiful shade which is particularly eff
fective under artificial light.
From neck almost to waist line in the
back the cloak opened to show a slender
V Of gold and white embroidery and gold
buttons held the sides of the back where
they crossed below the V; but the original
trimming note which gave the cloak its
individuality was a very full big ruche
OF carnation chiffon taffeta fringe on its
edges. This ruche encircIed the neck in
Pierrot fashion and bordered the bottom
OF the coat, running up the slashed sides
and back. which opened almost to the waist
line.
The soft rose shades trimmed in black
satin, In dark fur, ermine or chinchilla,
or in gold or silver. are always popular
for evening coats. and this fall shades Of

a long line of kings. He was the ancestor
