The re^ddeiuv |>ortlou of the white
house offers far greater conveniences
to a prospective tenant than Presi
dents enjoyed at the beginning of the
present eentury. I'ntll after the Mex
ican war the mansion whs lighted sole
ly hy candles and oil lamps, while
there was no central heating in* venti
lating system until a few years before
the civil war. Water for use in the
house was dipped out of a spring be
neath what Is now the front jHtrtleo.
Today, however, the most modern sys
tem of electric lighting, heating, ven
tilation and plumbing are Installed and
a colonel of engineers Is entrusted with
the task of keeping these In repair.
Whenever the next mistress of the
white house wishes any new furniture
or new decorations she will call upon
this officer and will pay for the im
provement out of an annual fund of
allowed him for "care." "re
furnishing" ami "repairs." It has ever
been a tradition of both political par
lies that the president's abode shall I
look spick and spay. Unit none of the !
furniture shall show a scratch or a ?
\\orn spot, that none of the draperies :
or decorations in use shall be allowed j
to fade or grow threadbare.
The government pays for all this, as '
well as fur all of the fuel, heat, light |
ami (lowers used in 1 1??? house, offices;
and surrounding grounds, the appro
priation for all of these items during
one year being enough to make 'you or j
j me independent for life. The white
house lias a .special green house which
supplies flowers for public and pi'lyate
cnterta laments as well as for family
nsr and the heautilication of the ex
tensive park surrounding the grounds.
< ?ut of tlietlnt fund for care, repair
and refurnishing |n?st mistresses of the
white house have made purchases as
they have seen til. Thus Mrs. (iraut
pnrehased for si.ihmi a silver canoe,
which still ei 1 1 1 1 a Ins (lowers at state
fuin lions ; and Mrs. Haves. for
(mmi. had painted the gaudilv (lowered
china set which was shelved when Mrs.
Roosevelt purchased the present Wedg
wood service f<?r ;#;;i mmh i And it inav
he added that it was ? ? u t <>(' this an
nual fund that Andrew Jackson bought,
at second hand, the ancestral service
of the Russian 'Ka run deTu.vll. All
siich articles nf course, bee- anc the
propcrfv of the government and re
main in the white house when the pur
chaser moves out.
So we taxpayers will take I care
of h i in who carries ofY the urand prize,
ill the presidential s\\ ee| >s| ke this fall.
We will pay a valet to shave him. cut
his (ytir and press his clothes; ;1 maid
to wait upon his wife, a L'loom for his
stables, laundresses to care for the
white house linen and a corps ..f do
