The Presidents Residence

A correspondent raises the ques-
ton OF emitting the "the" before
white house in speaking OF the resi-
dence OF the president, and urges
that II should be omitted. Many will
disagree with him on the grounds of
both euphony and analogy. II GER
tainly seems easier and smoother TO
speak of the white house than simply
OF white house. As for analogy, we
may recall the examples of the
Tuilerles. the House in the Woods
the Quirinal, the Eseurial and others
all using the definite article. There
would also be danger of some confu-
sion of the presidents mansion with
other places, since there are various
towns in the United States bearing
the name White House. For these
reasons ii is doubtful II our cores
pondent's suggestion will or ought to
be adopted.-New York Tribue.
