her up-to-date granddaughter.
"Betty, am deeply troubled to hear from

"M'yes," said Betty.
"Do you know that it is the evil one who
makes you do thesc things?"
"Possibly,'' said Betty, she is responsible
for the lies and the cusses, but the splitting
is my own invention

ANTIQUITIES IN WHITE HOUSE
Attractions Well Worth Inspection Are
Known to Comparatively Few
Visitors in Washington.

Least advertised Of TIE attractions
OF the White House IS a collection or
antiquities relating to the historic man
sion, which is on view IL basement
room adjoining the oval room directly
beneath the blue room.
This oval room. by the way, was
used for receiving guests in the oid
DAYS. when the main door OF entrance
to the White House was in the middle
of the south side and not on the north
front, as at present. 1t is snShtlE
above the ground level. and the Old
time entrance still remains, opening dl-
rectly upon the spacious lawn. For
merlv Il road !ed past it. which in wet
weather WAS so muddy that arriving
guests had trouble to keep their feet
dry.
Thus II was in Dolly Madson's day,
and one of the most interesting curioS
in the little museum is her book OF
cooking recipes, blank pages of which
are inscribed with culinary ideas in
her own handwriting. There is also
blue-and-gold china bowl, two feet
high, upheld by three graceful female
figures, which. imported from France,
was in use during her reign.
Abigail Adams, the first mistress Of
the White House, Is represented ~
silhouette of herself, cut out OF black
paper by some unknown hand. Two
saltcellars of hers are also in the col
lection, as we'll as huge Silver-mount-
ed goblet of full-quart capacity which
her husband used when he was Presl-
dent.
There are pieces of china represent
ing every set used at the White House
from the earliest days until now-the
latest, white end gold, being the Will
son set for the state dining room.. A
remarkable piece from the Harrison
set is turkey platter bearing beau
tiful painting Of a gobbler. Other
pieces of that set are adorned with
various pictures of animals, while the
vegetable dishes are ornamented with
paintings of different vegetables. IL
was designed for descriptive table
service, SO to speak.

That Was Different:

They were having prize fight in
building at Coney Island, and a wom-
an was hanging around the door. When
she was asked what She wanted she
answered:
Its my Mike who is one of the
fighters. Will you tell me how the
fight is going?''
YES, l WILL" was the reply. "1our
Mike has knocked the fellow down
nine tines
Glory, glory be-" shouted the
woman.
But, you see,' said her informant,
"the other man mas knocked your Mike
down ten times and was going to make
it eleven just as I came out"
ooh, that's it, said the disappoints
ed woman. Then I had better go
home and get my club ready for Mike,
for I told him he would get his head
cracked if he didn't win this fight
