laid i'm state there, and the first White
House funeral, that OF William Henry
Harrison. who died just one month after
his Inauguration. was held from the his
toric room.
Sometimes the East Room is called the
nations parlor," probably from the fact
that the hosts of visitors who come to
Washington are permitted To inspect the
simple but rich appointments and archi-
tectural beauty. 1t is a white and gold
room, the walls being covered with wood
paneling enamelled, while the ornamen-
tai ceiling is done in stucco. Set in the
walls are twelve low relief panels by
the Piccirilli brothers. famous sculptors.

Fables. on each of the east and west
sides of the room are two mantels OF
marble. with handsome mirrors over them
and candelabra on the shelves. Three
enormous crystal chandeliers form part
of the elaborate decoration, together with
four bronze standards bearing electric
lights, which are placed In the corners
OF the room. The window draperies are
of heavy old gold silk damask. while the
carved and gilded banquettes are covered
with silk velours. Here. too, Is the AL

the nation. stepped in sentiment
Il the sad and sweet memories of liz
years-abounding i'm historical associa-
tons, and a veritabe treasury of art is
now the home of just the family to APP

President Wilson, scholar and historian
finds some time TO enjoy his new home
but his cultured wife and three talented
daughters-Misse Margaret, Jessie and
Eleanor-each with her individual tastes
and inclnations and all with their IN
herited love of art and literature, are
getting the most pleasure out OF the daily
explorations Of the historic mansion. In
every nook and corner there is something
barking back TO momentous events OF a
century past-many Of them tragedies,
others bright spots in the nations life.
Thus it is with added interest that the
Wilson's now read and hear of the joys
and griefs, the births. marriages ana
deaths. the festivities and MORNINGS and
the love and laughter and daily life OF
the men and women who occupied the
White House before them. There IS

WHITE HOUSE WEDDINGS.

Apropos of White House weddings. the
Misses Wilson have their little jest among
themselves, while the nation at large Is
naturally wondering what will happen in
tho. next four years. There have been
ten weddings in the White House, and II
has been good naturedly limited that if
President Wilson is really consistent
about the number thirteen being lucky
for him, the wedding bells must chime
thrice during his administration. although
there is now nary a sign of little Dan
Cupid around the mansion
Incidentall?. here is list OF the White
House nuptial events:
Miss Todd. a niece of Dolly Madison. to
Representative John g. Jackson, great
uncle of "StonewalI' Jackson.
Miss Marie Monroe to Samuel l.. Gou-
yerneur.
Miss Helen Jackson TO John Adams. a
son of John quincy Adams.
Miss Lewis, IA friend OF President jack

Nicholas Longworth.
Less than twenty children have been
born in the White House, the only child
of President being the second daughter
of President Cleveland, Miss Esther. but
many of them have been christened IN
the mansion, the East Room usually nav
ing been the scene OF these ceremonies.
The account of the christening of Mary
Emily Donelson, daughter Of nephew
n-law of President Jackson, especially
interested the Wilson girls. The chris
tening was attended by high officials
diplomats and Eight Presidential aspir-
rants" and was one of the brilliant soclai
events of the Jackson administration
and "Old Hickory" made things hum IN
his homely way-but the story of TINS
White House baby is tinged with pathcs,
almost tragedy, as years afterward, re-
duced from afiuence to poverty, she re-
turned to Washington a widow and ac-
cepted small clerkship to support her
self and children, going only once to the
White House, and then only for mo-
ment, to gaze sadly on the scene of her
christening.
While the East Room has been the
scene of much gayety 1t has also been
the scene of deepest mourning. The

WHITE HOUSE TREASURES.

The wealth of art in the White House.
the historic paintings and artistic decora-
tions perhaps afford the greatest pleas
ure TO Mrs. Wilson and Miss Eleanor the
latter sharing her mothers fondness for
painting Mrs. Wilson is gifted artist
In fact having been student at the Art
Students League in New York when she
net the future President of the United
states. Miss Eleanor has studied at the
Pennsylvania Academy OF Fine Arts at
Philadelphia, 50 she and her mother ENJOY
together the rich collection of art ana
paintings to which they now have access.
Most prominent OF the paintings are the
portraits of all the Presidents, including
the famous one of Washington which was
cut from it's frame and preserved by Dolly
Madison when the British burned the
White House in 1874. Adjoining the walls
Of the mansion are also the portraits OF
the wives of most of the Presidents. IN
iii Mrs Roosevelts time these paintings
were distributed promiscuously about the
White House, but they were rearranged
bv her and hung in the lower corridor
along with the beautiful portrait of her
self by Chartran.
The famous painting of Washington
now hangs over the mantelpiece IN the
Red Room. and was one of the first por-
traits inspected closely by Mrs. wilson
and her daughters. Other portraits In the
same room are those of Jefferson John

The state dining room is one OF the
handsomest to be seen in any country, its
perfect proportions, lofty ceilings, rich
panellng and striking decorations COM
bining to produce an artistic effect rarely
equalled. AS one passes from the brill
iantly lighted East Room all white and

rooms and enters the dining room, it is
like entering the quiet harmony Of the
forest. The dark Caucasian oak panelling,
the rich green hangines and upholstery
the heads of American game-deer, elk,
mountain goats, bison and their fellows
peering down from the frieZe, heighten
this effect Several rare old Flemish tap
