When Mrs Wilson entered the White

United States, took possession there. 1t

not long since disappeared.
At the time Mrs. Adams moved into
the White House the only room In which
she could receive visitors was the libra

tive apartment. overlooking the Potomac.
| was used for some time both as the re-

Room. it will be remembered. was util-
lied by this practical New England
housewife to dry the family washing.
and she complained of the largeness of
the house. in which the Presidents FAM
lily is now cramped for room. and OF the
expense and number of servants required
to keep il In order. Mrs. Adams passed
only four months of her husbands term
In Washington, finding her estate in

and to her liking.
Mrs. Randolph Second.
Mrs. Thomas Mason Randolph. daugh-
ter of Thomas jefferson, followed Mrs.
Adams as mistress Of the White House.
and was coached in her duties for the
position by the beautiful Dolly Madison.
whose husband was then Secretary of
State, and who succeeded Mrs Randolph
as the first lady of the land. The eight
years while the famous Dolly was at the
head OF its affairs was the most brilliant
social period in the annals Of the Capital

A Section Comprising
Homes of Distinct individuality

A SECTION that is built up entirely by
IA one builder, under the supervision of
one architect, is bound to have sameness of
architectural lines. No matter how versa
tile man may be-either artist or artisan
his work is sure to bear certain distinguish.
ing marks. In Chevy Chase this condition
is not found. Practically every home was
built under the personal supervision
of the owner, and bears the touch of that
owners individuality.
The purchaser in Chevy Chase does not
have to take prophecy as to what he is
going to get, because the kind of develop
ment is already fixed. Every convenience
of the city is installed and every lot is made
usable before it is offered for sale. In all
of the Chevy Chase Land Company's prop
critics nothing but detached houses are built,
thus insuring sunlight and air. Broad 'front.'
ages and beautiful lawns are everywhere.

A Community Representing
a HiSh Order of Citizenship

THE population of Chevy Chase is made
L up of high-grade business and profes-
sional men-the kind of men you want as
your neighbors. The car service is second
to none in the world-the Capital Traction
Company standing ready to increase the
service whenever the growth of the section
demands it, Reasonable building restric-
tions have been established, with the result
that nothing but high-grade houses are found
anywhere in the section.
Very shortly Nature will be at her best.
To appreciate the beauties of Chevy Chase
you simply must see it.
Special prices will be made to pur.
chasers who make deposits during the month
of March. In addition, any purchaser who

Mrs. Monroe Noted Hostess.
It was not an altogether pleasant
change from the young, brilliant, beauti-
full, and witty Mrs. Madison to Mra
Monroe. who was older than her prede-
cessor. and neither SO handsome nor so
clever. but she made a stately. dignified
hostess. and her life in Paris. as wife
of the American Minister. had given her
knowledge Of social etiquette and forms
which enabled her to formulate a SEN

ministration of the Executive Mansion.

1t was during the Monroe administra-
tion that the first wedding in the White
House took place. when Maria Monroe.
the daughter of the President. was mar
ried to Samuel l.. Gouverneur. OF New
York. The ceremony was celebrated in
the Green Room, and il was attended
by all the officials at the Capital. The
widow OF a son OF this marriage. who
was a Miss Campbell. OF New York. Is
still living in Washington at an advanced
age.
Receptions Famous Functions.
Mrs. John Quincy Adams brought
broad experience in social life TO the di-
rcction of White House affairs. her hus-
band having been at one time Secretary
OF State and Minister TO both France and
Russia. The evening lcvees as the re-
ceptions were then called. OF President
and Mrs. Adams were great occasions.

which now characterize such White

Enjoys the Advantages Of
Enforced, Normal Growth

PACK of every successful venture is a
definite plan. This is true of Chevy
Chase. More than twenty years ago it was
believed that there was demand for high
grade suburb, designed primarily for the
home.owner. Chevy Chase has been, is,
and always will be, essentially section for
home-owners The speculator is not en-
couraged. The man who intends to use his
lot as site for his own home is given every
assistance.
That this plan is a wise one needs no
argument Chevy Chase, as it is to-day, is
proof positive of the wisdom of such course.
AS a result of this plan, Chevy Chase has
an unforced and normal growth. Only
as an actual demand exists for lots as home
sites is new section placed on the market.
