garet Wilson, Miss Jessie Wilson and
Miss Eleanor Wilson will move into
the White House next March.
The place of the ladies' of the White
House has been kept before the coun-
try almost as prominently through all
these years as has that of the presi-
dent himself. Eternally questions of
precedence and etiquette have como
forward. The public has wanted to
know all about the daily life and the
domestic doings of the presidential
family. the housekeeping woes Of the
mistress Of the mansion and her be-
havior at the official receptions: the
tastes and habits OF all the feminine
members of the family, and withal
there have been at times little tales
Of boudoir plots and parlor intrigues.
although the history Of the United
States has very little of the back

large part in the histories of the
nations of Europe.

seemed to her very far away indeed.
1t was she who used the great. un-

which to dry the family wash.
Dolly Madison was almost as much
mistress of the mansion in Jefferson's
time as In that of his successor. her
husband. and 1t was she who saved
the one piece of the original furnish

tial residence. When the British
burned the house in 1914 the redoubt-
able Dolly managed to carry away
the portrait of Washington which
hangs now over the mantel in the Red
room.
1t has taken a long time for the
mansion to approach completion. and
no sooner was 1t finished than 1t was
destroyed by the ruthless hands OF the
English soldiery.

first residence was faithful repro
