Those who p11 reiteti, however, to sit out their dances, strayed into the 0th- , er rooms and t-Iintiered or whispered their little gossip 11f the day, confident of the fat-,1 that the portraits of the Presidents of earlier years could at least look down upon and chaperon them. Aftc -r all tin 1.111 \iti had arrived the President and Mia Roosevelt would themselves enter the East Room. the President eat-laying a waltz with his wife. and, possibly, with one or two favored and prominent. ma. trons, The last of these dances happened to be given on one of those clear and balmy winter nights which, time and tlfne again, make Washington in mid- wpter seem like the Riviera in early timing. The big windowa leading from the East Room out upon the eastern terrace, were thrown open and a few of the 11.1iit‘e1s ventured into the open air. It is doubtful if the White House could be seen to better advantage or under cli’cumstanCca more picturesque. The terrace, with its artistic electric globes and given plants. is always worth a glance. at night. Tint 011 this occasion the scent- had added charms. Like 11 110119 and sheltering shadow to the east the treasurv building stood, with i111 pillar sand classic outlines, dimly silhouetted in the night. On either hand stretched the Whitellouse grounds, open in the bright starlight or broken with the dark shapes of shrubs and trees. 011 the terrace it~ self a few figures wandered 11p and clown. while now and then a spangled scarf, draped carelessly over young shoulders. or else a bit of gold dace or epanlet. caught 11 ray of light and glistencd. The snowy walls of the White 110111111 itficlf stood Ntlmt‘w‘lul like a huge but, pale. mirror, upon which the closed and curtalned wind. ows let through a. ruddtcr light from Within. Somehow the mansion had never seemed to the outer view so alive with the spirit of earlier times, 'l‘hrouxli the open windows could be seen the any, dresses and bright unl- rorms of the dancers, but even in the little distance on the terrace, individ- uals and modern styles were. lost and blended in the scene of light and color which seemed an if it might equally have 111-111 a page of past W bite House history colored and brought to life-- Washington 1211111 in tire Springfield Itebtiblic.un The reason so many cranks get on the jury is piobublv because titty are alums so anxious to lie-1111111 who new read the newspapeis Nell—"[111 you think .\i1ss ‘l‘alknlot really enjoys grand opera?"
