Probably Mrs. Roosevelt has made
more experiments with food prepara-
tions and combinations than any First
Lady in history. Way back in April,
1888, she made public what the press
widely announced as "the typical
White House weekly menu based on q
scientific study Of . balanced Diet
Recipes were prepared by the home
economics department. of Cornell
University. The Monday menu was
as follows:
Breakfast-Cereal milk, sugar,
whole wheat toast, butters milk for
children, coffee for adults.

are Mrs. Roosevelt's pride and joy.
It will be recalled that she served ham
sandwiches for the inaugural tea in
the east room, which annoyed quite
few nose-tilted dowagers no end.
However, the sandwiches were well
coined by the numerous hungry guests
who had been outside for hours on a
chilly Winter day. They were man
sized sandwiches, too, filled with thick
hunks of ham and pronounced by one
and all as mighty, mighty good.
Mrs. Roosevelt's buffet suppers are
becoming quite famous. They usually
include something like this: A cocktail
Of fruit, oysters or tomato juice;
chicken Ia king or crab meat on
toast or patty shells; at least one
green vegetable; hot rolls or biscuits;
fruit or vegetable salad and an ice
cream or pudding.
For evening receptions she Is very
fond of serving homemade cakes,
sometimes dainty ones, or perhaps
imposing affairs with creamy ictngs.
A good many of these, It's rumored,
are purchased at a farm womanis
market. Mrs. Roosevelt, as is COM
monty known, likes to encourage such
women's organizations. Cottage cheese
and some fresh eggs are also supposed
to be purchased occasionally at the
same place.

MRS. ROOSEVELT explained that
AVA she was using the Cornell econ
omy menus in the hope of helping
people who are interested in spending
money as wisely as possible for nour-
ishing food. A few days later, at q
press conference, she disclosed her
plan to employ recipes favored by
former occupants Of the Whitee House
to vary the economy menus.
"The American menus Of Mrs.
Sheila Hibbens," she pointed out, "I
hope will interest people not only as
good, early American food, but in the
history that lies back Of the recipes"
Mrs. Sheila Hibbens, compiler Of
the American menus, spent some days
In washington conferring with the
White House housekeeper and to give
instructions in the proper preparation
Of the menus.
President Roosevelt has tried sew
eral Of them. One is the crab soup
Martha washington is supposed to
have made for the ffrst President.
Mrs. Roosevelt, who has been making
q study Of the gourmet habits of the
early Presidents, said:
@Thonas Jefferson first ate waffies
In Holland and imported waffle iron
into this country. He also introduced
vanilla and macaroni into the United
States" :

trast, isn't it, to the sumptuousness OF
the Theodore Roosevelt dinners with
their eight courses of rich foods.
Regular dinners, starting around
7:3O, are likewise lacking in oStenta-
ton. No one wears formal clothes,
everybody seems to be having a grand
time and the conversation is extremely
informal.
What does the President like es-
pecially? Well, in keeping with his
widely heralded love of the sea, he is
fond of sea foods like Holsters, clans
and oysters In season. And, lest we
forget, Lake Superior whitehsh,
Mrs. Nesbitt's careful supervision.
Usually Mr.. Roosevelt Is too busy
with affairs of the Nation to eat any
meal but dinner with his family.
Most of his breakfasts are served in
be6 and he has a tray luncheon at
noon.
Sunday evening repasts are merry,
informal affairs attended by intimate
family friends or perhaps relatives
from out of town. Often Mrs. Roose-
welt delights in serving as cook, pre-
pairing in her own chafing dish her
favorite scrambled eggs. The PreSi-
dent, too, is very fond of this dish.
Now that prohibition is dead, the
White House may serve light wines at
state dinners. This new policy was
first announced by Mrs. Roosevelt at
q press conference last November.
Only very light wines are served, in
accordance With Mrs. RooSevelt's pro-
nouncement on that subject when wines
first became legal. No more than
two wine glasses will be at each plate
at any dinner, Mrs. Roosevelt an
nounced.
In the number of servants employed
in his domestic household Mr.. Hoover
is believed to have held something of
a record. There were 80. In the
kitchen were three cooks, three kitchen
maids and dish washer. Katherine,
an amiable Irish girl, cooked only for
the family and guests. The second
cook prepared meals for the rest of
the household, while the third cook
was specialist in breads and pastries.
There was also a head butler, assisted
by five walters, who likewise served as
pantrymen. The general practice at
sumptuous dinners was to hire one
extra waiter for each nine or ten per-
sons.
Katherine worked also for the Cool
idges. In fact, she was White House
cook for at least seven years. Mr..
Coolidge was especially fond Of her
delicious buckwheat cakes.
Mrs. Hoover was well versed In
foods. She saw to 1t that Katherine
kept her husband well supplied with
his fayorites-cream potato soup, roast
lamb and Virginia ham.
At MEAL TINE Presidents have
about as much privacy as the pro-
verbal goldfish. But don't get the idea
that they dislike company. Almost
without exception our Chief Execu-
tives dine with at least a small group
Of personal friends or advisers. Ava
Long, housekeeper for Mr. Hoover, said
at the end Of their first three years in
the White House that the President
and Mrs. Hoover had sat down to din
ner alone just three timesl An average
Of only one. family dinner each yearI
Usually the table In the state dining
room was laid for 18 or 40.
On one occasion, Mrs. Long says, she
returned to her ONCE at 1890 o'clock
from shopping tour and was in
formed by Mrs. Hoover that there
Evening star., 1935-06-23

would be 40 guests for dinner at l.
Mrs. Long made dash for the ice-box
and found, to her dismay, that there
were only a dozen puny lamb chops
and leftovers on hand there. What to
do about it? She conferred with the
efficient Katherine and promptly at 1
the guests were served with croquetteS.
One distinguished guest asked for the
recipe. Needless to say, she was put
of with rather vague reply.
Undoubtedly this luncheon ranks
with the cheapest in White House his
tory. AS for dinners, probably the
most expensive one on record was
given by Theodore Roosevelt back in
1902 for Prince Henry of Prussia. It
was held in the east room and was a
stag affair. It required three pages Of
a menu card to list the 30 items Of
food offered the 400 guests.
Today the secretarial staff at the
Executive Mansion is pretty "cagey"
about revealing the exact number of
servants employed there. However,
there are supposed to be about %, q re-
duction of some 10 from the Hoover
regime. Those released by Mrs. Roose-
velt were for the most part placed in
other positions.
The Roosevelts, It Is understood,
have a half dozen servants who have
been with them for many years. They
are the chauffeur, the Presidents
valet, Mrs. Roosevelt's maid, cook. q
kitchen maid and their butler, who
serves as houseman.
A conservative figure for groceries
and entertaining is $2.500 q month,
Who pays the bills? Well, the Presi-
dent must dig deep into his own pocket
for the entire food bill of his house,
except for the large, official banquets,
which are taken care of by special
fund. However, the grocery cost is his
only household expense.

Free Seed Given.

CEEKNG to prevent erosion in
~ drought areas in which large
acreages are remaining idle, the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Administration
has allocated 10000 pounds of hegari
seed and 10000 bushels of oats and
barley for planting.
The seed is part Of the supply
bought last year to assure supply.
The planting is being done to prevent
loss of the top soil through wind ero-
sion and to guard adjacent land from
damage by drifts of soil from other
sections.

and her surroundings. The room isn't
very large. just large enough to house
a small desk, three or four chairs,
telephone, divan and typewriter. with
not much to spare.
Interest In the housekeeper herself
far eclipses anything in the Office. Her
voice is quiet, friendly. but at the
same time possessed of the indef1nable
tang Of authority. Straightway you de-
eide: Here's q matron who knows
, what she wants and probably gets it
with the least possible fuss and bother
At first glance her appearance isn't
extraordinary in any way. She is
trinity dressed In q Summer frock
made Of cotton. The gathering years
have matured a pleasant face and
figure. But that is all. If anything,
today she Is even more gracious, you
guess, than in her very young days.
A waggish news hound once de-
scribed Mrs. Nesbitt as looking like
somebody's beloved aunt" That most
assuredly doesn't do her justice. But
it does hint at the truth, which is
that Mrs. Nesbit looks as If she would
make very dear, very stanch and
very reliable friend.
The houSekeeper wears glasses. But
they can't conceal the extreme alert
ness OF her eyes. They all but sparkle.
Suddenly Mrs. Nesbitt puts down
the receiver and gives you her atten-
tion. You are somewhat abashed. since
you've been studying her intently, al
most Fudely. But q friendly smile,
undeniably sincere, Immediately puts
you at ease.
You state your mission and she
remarks: I'm really awfully busy,
but I guess I have time to give you
a flying trip" En- route she explains
that the original White House kitchen
was located directly in the center of
the mansion on the ground floor. 1t
was about 43 feet long and 2S feet
deep, with two open fireplaces whose
hooks, by the way, are still standing.
COME 40 or 50 years ago the whole
thing was moved to the north
west corner. It is now used primarily
as a workshop and storehouse for
electrical machinery.
The kitchen used today, as 1t stands
before the actual start of renova-
tion naneuverS, consists Of six sepa-
rate units on the ground floor be-
meath the state and private dining
rooms. Units included are the kitch-
en- proper, servants and buffers pam
tries, butcher shop, serving pantry
and mezzanine pantry.
Mrs. Nesbitt shows you all these
with the remark that really they are
hopelessly out Of date and woefully
inadequate for purposes Of large
scale food preparation.
Your visit, consuming only about
20 minutes altogether, doesn't give
you time to take in all details. You
therefore get q somewhat confused
panorama of three ranges, one enor-
nous oven. sizable griddle, q large
pantry and no less than eight electric
ice boxes Of about every conceivable
make and various ages.
However, everything Is In well-nigh
perfect order. Really, as the kitchen
proper looks today it resembles moth
ing so much as one OF those old
fashioned German rathskellers. You
know-with its characteristic, quantity
arched ceiling and air of antiquity.
This ancient architectural atmos-
phere, by the way, win not be changed
materially under the renovation pro-
cednre, Mrs. Neshitt insists. although
it occurs to you that it might clash
Evening star., 1935-06-23

receptions, teas and such are in the
of1ng, the number Of guests expected
and so on. Henceforth the official
housekeeper assumes the reins Of re-
sponsibility. So far as is known, there
hasn't been a single hitch.
How about joining Mrs. Nesbitt on
- an imaginary trip through the
famed White House htchen2 Then
you can see for yourself what 1t looks
like and learn from the housekeeper's s
own lips Just what to expect in the
near future.
OF course, you can't just march into
the Presidents house and parade
around to your hearts desire.
First, you must pass muster in the
eyes of Lieut.. E. M. Seaman, genial
policeman who has guarded the en-
trance to the executive offices for 10,
these many years. However, all he
asks is that you state your business
briefly and to the point. So without
further ado you are privileged to enter
the spacious, brightly lighted new
hallway. Actually you have to work
your way through possibly IS or 40
people assembled here-talking, smok-
ing, or just waiting. Next you enter
a doorway in the extreme rear and
to the right. Now you are inside the
outer Office Of Steve" Early, personal
secretary to Mr.. Roosevelt.
This looks out on the State, War
and Navy Building across the street;
contains lots of window space, plenty
of chairs, three fairly large business
desks: and you note two young ladies,
one brunette and the other blonde,
busily pounding away at typewriters.
Good morning." chirps the blond
one. It is Miss Meredith, one Of Mr..
Early's ace secretaries. "And what
can we do for you?"
rs Mr.. Early in? I'd like to get
official permission for an informal
tour of the kitchen"
Yes, he is. But tied up with news
paper correspondents. Let me see
your credentials and I'll phone him."
Miss Meredith glances with prac-
tised eye at your card, then leaves the
room. Within five minutes she is
back, saying:
ITS all right. I'll have one Of the
aides take you to the housekeeper.
Up from nowhere pops a young fell
low whose name, according to strict
White House ruling, isn't to be men,
toned. He hustles you through q YER
liable labyrinth of passageways and
Railways.
Mrs. Nesbitt's office Is underneath
the west terrace entrance, facing the
new executive Offices. However, you
understand she is due for new one,
under present plans, that will be SIT
uated in the southwest corner Of the
White House facing the garden.
THE newly devised blue prints also
= call for a general overhauling of
the entire electric light system in the
Executive Mansion. The wires In use
today are old and many of them are
somewhat dangerous, according to
Federal engineers. Which is one Of
the principal reasons why the Presi-
dent Is approving the renovation
project at this particular time.
Underneath the driveway end Of the
north portico there win be constructed
number of new shops and locker
rooms. Badly needed storage space
for furniture and household supplies
will be provided here. and the SER
wants quarters in this section Will be
rearranged and improved.
But, to return to your visit with
Mrs. Nesbitt: She Is phoning when
you enter her room, thereby giving
you time to size up the housekeeper
