MARCH 4 LUNCHEON
GUESTS MYSTERY

One of the arrangements entirely
overlooked to date is notification to
the White House cooks as to the
number of guests for whom they
must provide at the Inauguration
day luncheon in the White House.
According to tradition the Presi-
dent-elect formally notifies the out
going President of his plans for the
luncheon. The outgoing President
provides the food and sets the cooks
to work.
The outgoing President usually
shares the luncheon, but there have
been exceptions. Theodore Roose-
welt, for instance, drove directly to
the railroad station from the Capt.
tol after witnessing the inaugura-
tion OF Mr.. Taft. President Taft
came back for his share Of the lunch
in 1913. White House luncheons are
sometimes attended by as many as
200 or 900.
