The Tale of a Tenderfoot

Stringing the tenderfoot has been recognized a
legitimate outdoor sport since the early days of the
west but it must be admitted that sometimes the
sequences not always pleasing to the perpetrators
of what seemed at first huge joke the other fell
low.
For instance, here copy of the Detroit Free
Press with interview with Harry Hurbut, who
has been selling binding Irvine in the states and
getting fed up with wild western tales in return and
who repeats the result of his personal observations

THE WHITE HOUSE CHINA

he flora and fauna OF every state.
The china was of a beautiful quality
and the designs were artistic. but
when they were copied In cheap
china and sold, the Hayes dishes LOST
the individuality which was their main
charm.
The white House china designs were
81 much copied that many people own
cd articles they honestly thought gen
uine. with the historic White House
china scattered to the ends of the
country by sales: and with no syste-
matte records kept OF the articles left
/ In the Executive Mansion. you can
sec how making collection of china
used by the Presidents could easily
take is years.
Luckily. presidential souvenirs have
been treasured In the families Of the
! Presidents, and their descendants
hav been generous in turning over
some of their relics to the govern
Ing has been, or will he. bought for
this collection. Everything that was
not taken from White House cahi-
lnets and china closets has been do
4 mated or loaned.
! Descendants Of every President OK
cept those Of President johnson who
cannot be located. have been consult
cd By Mrs. Baker. and they have iden-
tified as authentic the pieces OF china
representing their ancestors.

Tho mistresses Of the Whit. House
of late years have been eager to see
the china collection established. As
far back as Mrs. HAYES and Mrs,
| Harrison. cabinet to hold historic
White House china was talked Of
Finally Mrs Roosevelt started tho coll
lection and had two cabinets made
ard placed In corridor for the first
exhibits. At the same time sh. asked
Mrs. Baker to select the most worthy
souvenirs In the White House and %
catalogue them. The first Mrs. VII
son planned n special room for tho
presidential china exhibit. 1t remained
for the second Mrs. Wilson actually
to have the room prepared and to in
stall the collection which by that time
had become really impressive.
The china of the Presidents IN per
lhnps moro a souvenir Of tho first
ladies of the land than Of their hus-
bands. From the home loving Martha
Washington all down the line, the
china closet has been largely the pride
o, the feminine occupants OF the man
sion. Often Its contents represented
their tastes rather than those Of their
husbands. There is in tho collection.
for instance. one Of the Harrison
plates with its corn and goldenrod
decoration reminiscent OF Mrs. Harri-
sons love for goldenrod and her de-
sire that II should become the ma
tional flower.
on the other hand. there Is n Gin
cinnsu plate of the Washington r
which "a certainly reminiscent Of the
General. and Of his founding of the
order of the Cincinnati. In his time
81 was a popular custom to use all
sorts Of insignia on articles Of personal
use. and Washington had n dining set
