"Well, I'm damned if I'll continue

"You can do just as you Ike" re-
pied the wife, "rm going to keep
tie children and do my full duty by
them. I'd love to have your help and
cooperation, but I'll keep the children,
with it or without it."
Mrs. South was finding it difficult
now to suppress the tears, and her
voice broke frequently.
Her husband jumped suddenly from
his chair.
"Alice, l would have suffered for
you-died for you-anything. But
this is too much-too much! Good
God, what will the world think Of
me?"
"Why, its nothing so unusual to
adopt children like this. There are
scores of women in Atlanta who have
done the so-le thing, and their hus-
bands don't know yet that the chill
dren are not thet own. It's often"
she declared.

said.
Furthermore. I know there are
doctors in this very city that file birth
certificates in these cases and help
the wives make their husbands think
the children were born to them"
"My God! And l thought these
were mine! tell you, will not stand
for it." he shouted.
"You can do just as you like" said
Mrs. South, and l thought you loved
me, too, now"
He stopped her with the remark
that 81 gave up the whisky business
and stopped drinking fourteen years
ago. And this is the way you have
treated me. All right l wouldn't

She smiled again, and he reached
for his hat.

South after he got in the taxicab.
After riding for two blocks, he sig
nailed to the driver to stop, and sud-
denly jumped from the car.
"I'm going back home" he said.

serve such buildings as historic monuments,
which keep alive our sense of continuity with
the nations past
The original plans were drawn by Major
Hoban, an architect from Ireland, who at that
time was residing at Charleston, S. c., and
was the successful competitor for the $500
prize and gold medal offered by the City of
Washington for 'the best plan for suitable
dwelling for the President" The plans
called for pretentious edifice of three stories,
to which a sweeping coonnade and wings
might be added as the need arose, and were
said to have been based on the recently built
palace of the Duke of Leinster in Dublin,
(which is fine example of modernized Greek
architecture" They were thoroughly ap-
proved by President Washington, but their
'magnifcence" evoked considerable criticism
and notifications had to be made.
Only the foundations and parts of the out
side walls are relics of the original building,
completed in 1900 and burned fourteen years
later by the British but, as the edifice stands
to-day-faithfully reproducing in form and
dimensions the original plans-it is more like
what Washington intended it should be than
ever, with the exception that its front faces
the north instead of the river.
In spite of the vicissitudes and feeting
changes through which the mansion itself has
passed. the personalities of the Presidents and
their families are indelibly impressed AS long
as the walls stand, their associations will cling.
AS Mrs. Harding so aptly puts it, Each
room, each piece of furniture, is warm with
golden memories. To learn them is romance
in itself. l love the beautiful, big rooms with
their high ceilings, their wide space their pol
ished mahogany furniture, carved deep with
the memories of Lincoln and the Madisons and
of the far Colonial families There is always
some great man of the past or some fair lady
with me-
Of the state apartments, Mrs Harding's
favorite is the Green RoomaS-originaly the
dining room of the first Presidents. In Mon
roe's time it was known the Card Room.
Since then, although all the other parlors have
changed their names in accordance with the
color of their ecoration--which, naturally
varied with the taste of the new lady of tbs
New-York tribune., 1921-05-29

The Blue Guest Room, in the East Cor
ridor, formerly deUofed to executive
offices. The brass plate on the n1antel
states that Lincoln signed the ErGn-
cipation Proclamation in this room,
ated by Congress for the repair and refurnish-
ing of the Public Shabby House will barely re
pair and carpet it, and Mrs. Polk prefers
something habitably furnished even if smaller
and at her own expense"
When the Fillmores came in, after General
Taylor's Liberty Hall" administration, the
White House was described as being in 'a
miserable condition, dirty and bare, with no
corner that seemed like a home. The great
room over the Blue Room was covered with
straw carpet, made filthy by tobacco chew
ers. Underneath this found good Brus-
sells carpet of the old pattern, with a basket
of roses upset Mrs. Fillmore had this cleaned,
sent to Buffalo for her piano and harp, shut
off much of the space with screens, and with
wood fire made the place very pleasant"
With the incoming of the Grants, the Com
missioner of Public Buildings Custodian of
the White House, reported that 'it hardly
seems possible to state anything in favor of
the house as a residence, but, if thoroughly
repaired, would serve it's purpose admirably
as an executive office"
What seemed an enormous amount Of
money at that time was appropriated by Con-
gress for the repair and redecoration of the
mansion, which was personally supervised by
Mrs. Grant, woman of taste and dscrimina-
ton. Additional large sums were appropri-
ated during President Arthurs administra-
ton, twelve years later, and also for Presi-
dent Cleveland and his bride. But not until
1902, hundred years after it was rebuilt,
did the White House come into its own, Con-
gress appropriating during Roosevet's first
term $474,445 for its complete repair and
restoration, and additional $65,000 for the
erection of the Executive Offices.
In settling forever the vexed question of
appropriate home for the President, Mr.
Roosevelt in his message transmitting the re-
port of the architects stated in his nimitable
way:
Through wise provision Of the Congress
at it's last session, the White House, which
had become disfgured by incongruous addi-
tions and changes, has now been restored to
what it was planned to be by Washington. In
making the restorations the utmost care has

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and influ-

thoroly active. That is why the first
step in the treatment is the new. nau-
sealcss calomcl tablet called Calotabs,
which are FREQ from the sickening and
weakening effects Of the old style CAL
cmel. Doctors also point out the fact
that an active liver may go u long way
towards preventing influenza and is
one of the most important factors in
enabling the patient to successfully
Withstand an attack and ward on
