Implements which stand out in the weather do not last
more than half as long those kept under shelter.

First Lady of the Land Faces Big
Task When She Goes to the White House

Washington, d. c., Feb. 20.-When
Mrs. Harding becomes mistress of the
White House on March 4th, she will
assume no small domestic task.
Keeping the White House wheels in
running order is more complicated
than the average housewife suspects.
An editors wife may slip out to the
corner grocery in case of the sudden
arrival of unexpected guests. And an
editors wife may also sweep off a
front gallery Uttered up by cigar
stumps thrown down by careless
politicians.
But Presidents wife-that is
quite different.
When menus are to be planned for
a dinner, Mrs. Harding will call in the
gastronomic experts.
The marketing is supervised by the
chief housekeeping manager, though
the preferences of the mistress of the
White House are most respectfully
considered.
This routine goes on from year to
year, regardless of administrative
changes. There are always plenty of
Followers" in the Backstairs Cabinet.
Just now there is speculation as to
whether Dinah McWborter, the negro
cook of the Hardings, who aspires to
the title of "Waffle Queen of the
White House." will realize her high
ambition.
The White House kitchens are
spacious enough to accommodate a
half-dozen frying-pan artists. So if
the Hardings wish to retain their ex-
pert waffle architect, there will no
doubt be plenty of room for her.
Washington still is wondering what
was chatted about at the informal tea
party at the White House, recently
when Mrs. Wilson entertained Mrs
Harding. Not another soul got with

in earshot, but the best guess is that
they talked about housekeeping,
Ever since the time of lovely Dolly
Madison, who strung the presidential
wash" across the East Room, the
chief interest in household affairs at
the White House has conferred in its
china.
Even White House dishes break.
Uncle Sam gets downright human at
times and pays the breakage bills
without murmur.
The bills are paid through the army
finance department, under the head Of
Public Buildings and Grounds.
Wear and tear on the crockery has
been no small item in the household
expenses, il one may Judge from the
frequency with which new sets have
been bought.
1t has only been within recent years
that any effort has been made to pre-
serve a collection, representative Of
each presidential family.
When Mrs. Mckinley called in Mrs.
Abbey Gum Baker, an authority on
antique china, to assemble what valu-
able pieces were left in the cupboards,
there was not complete set Of any
administration.
Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes dishes
are the most striking in the collection.
She ordered that each piece be dec
GRATED with some flower, bird or ami
NAL of the United States. Her
Turkey Platter is one of the best
known to china collectors.
About four years ago the first
really American. made dishes were in
stalled IN the White House cupboards
by Mrs. Woodrow Wilson.
Possibly Mrs Wilson told Mrs.
Harding TO Edo her own dishes if
she'd keep the roo pieces intact.
