There are a number of ways
you can cook a filet mignon,
but it seems to me that the
Protocol Room-the ultramod-
ern dining room at Washing
tons newest hotel, Executive
House-has found a new one.
The discovery is a decided
treat.
Just before cooking, the filet,
a good two inches thick, is cut
through the center horizontally
and stuffed with pate de foil
gras. It then goes to the broiler
where it's cooked to order.
In the process of cooking, the
pate-rich and creamy-Sort Of

Following the Adamses
into the historic home was
the third President, Thomas
jefferson, who at the end
of his two terms inadvertent-
ly gave a tremendous boost,
more than $50 years ago, to
the current search for au-
thentic White House furni-
ture circa 1902.
President jefferson sent
off a letter listing all Of the
historic mansions furnish
ings at that time.
His inventory, which Is
among his personal papers in
the Library Of Congress,
gives us a fair study of the
manner in which the Presi-
dents House was furnished
during his stay.
The list, with a covering
letter, was sent on February
10, 1909, in reply to a request
from Benjamin H. Latrobe.
the architect who was sur
veyor of public buildings.
Although President John
Adams and his First Lady,
Abigail were the first occu-
pants of the new Presidents
House, their stay was brief

WHITE HOUSE EXPL AIMS
CHOICE OF YEAR 1902

An official White House statement today emphasized
the Committee of the Fine Arts Commission for the
White House is not seeking authentic furniture purely of
18th century vintage.
The original White House release Of February %,
announcing appointment of the committee, stated Mrs
Kennedy said the purpose Of the committee is to locate
authentic furniture Of the date Of the building Of the
White House Q802) and the raising Of the funds to
purchase this furniture gifts to the White House"
In further Qualification of that statement, the White
House today adds 1--WE wish to emphasize the committee
is not restricting itself to furniture specifically Of the
1902 but is searching for authentic furnishings that
in in that period-ncludng designs of the 18th
and 18th centuries"
The initial White House release chose the date 1902
the office explained because that the year when
the then President jefferson had made the greatest
strides in completing the furnishings of the Presidents
House. The executive mansion too. more nearly
complete within than had been when President Adams

hot dishes, was undertaken
by Robert Adam when he
placed at each end a pedes-
tai or cupboard upon which
an urn (for holding kniveS)
was placed. All were sepa-
rate pieces and were not
connected to become one
solid piece until somewhat
later also by Adam.
Since Jefferson records
the East Room also con-
tanned 81 table and kettles
for washing tumblers" plus
Il large dumb waiter" we
might translate the item to
mean the room was used
only as a storeroom Of sorts.
The East Room, during
his tenure and up to 1909
when he made his inventory,
was still in an unfinished
state. Architect BENJAMIN
Latrobe's report that year
stresses the fact and adds
the interior walls had hardly
been touched.

It is not unlikely that
these styles were tastefully
combined throughout the
mansion, with French Direc-
toire which in France covered
the period from about 1893
to 1904, or with the French
Louis XVI designs.
In Volume One of "Ameri-
can Antique Furniture" by
Edgar G. Miller, jr., it states:
1T is said there was a period
in America-about 1905 to
about 1815-in which furni-
ture of the Directory (Direc-
toire) type was made and
that this type was 'one Of
the Simplest, most elegant
and lovliest Of styles. 1t is
alleged that this style has
heretofore been enormously
treated as being in the late
Sheraton style or as the be-
ginning Of and a part of the
Empire style, but that in
reality it constitutes a style
by itself"
Gilded and painted chairs
as mentioned in the East
Room were found in Louis
XVI styles, Queen Anne,
Early Georgian, many Robert
Adam designs, Hepplewhite
and Sheraton.

expired.
Mr.. jefferson, moving into
the unfinished and partially
furnished mansion in 1901,
proceeded through the en-
suing eight years to i'm
press his highly Individuals
tic and impeccable tastes on
the selection of furnishings
and decor.
East Room Unfinished
According to the inventory,
the Large Unfinished Room,
East End" contained, in 1909,
"34 armed chairs in black and
gold, / mahogany side table, l
cooler, / table and kettles for
washing tumblers, l large
dumb-waiter and pair large
brass and-irons."
Gilded and painted chairs
were not uncommon in this
period. If we take the spe-
cific year 1902 when furnish
ings undoubtedly included all
the best developments of the
18th century, we can specu-
late that the Presidents
house contained the five
great styles of English furni-
ture-Queen Anne, Chippen-
dale, Adam, Hepplewhite and
Sheraton.
