OF CHINA AT
WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON. Dec. 5. — The fa
mnus White House collection of china,
containing specimens from the table
service of all the presidents except
two, has been placed in a room spec
ially prepared for it, under the super
vision of Mrs. Wilson In the executive
mansion. It is Mrs. Wilson's inton
tion to increase the collection if pos
sible, and the specimens have been so
placed in cabinets as to leave room
for expansion. The new room was
prepared while the president and his
family were at Shadow Lawn for the
summer.
Before leaving for Shadow Lawn
Mrs. Wilaon went over plans for the
change with Mrs. Abby Gunn Baker,
in charge of the collection, and in
structed her to select some of the
pieces of old china, glass and plate,
which were stored in the White House
closets and place them in the new
cabinet.
While the collection, which Mrs
Baker has been building up for sev
eral years, includes pieces from every
president except two, some adminis
trations are represented inadequately,
and she is continuing her work in the
hope of making it really representa
tive.
Eventually the walls of the rooms are
to be lined with cabinets for the col
lection, but at present only the first
line has been put in. It extends the
entire length of the room, and as in
harmony with the architecture of the
White House interior modelled after
the Georgian period. The woodwork
is of Ivory white. The shelves are
lined with handsome velvet, which
gives a perfect background for the
china, as well as for the silver and
glass. The furniture of the room is a
part of the set, used in the east room
during the administration of Presi
dent McKinley, and is upholstered in I
brocaded satin of a light yellow tint. |

Pay Up Day In China.
At the Chinese New Year the houses
and other buildings are decked with
flowers, and the streets are thronged
with people, who come out to buy pnr
visions, new clothes and gifts. One
good New Year custom in China is
that of setlling up all debts before the
old year has died out. A Chinaman
who allows the New Year to dawn be
fore he lias settled with his creditors
feels himself disgraced.
The New Year Dawna.
The new year dawns, the sun ehlnes
strong and Hear.
And nil the world rejoices and la gay.
The city loving birds from spray to
spra y
Flit busily and twitter In my ear
Their little frozen note of wintry cheer
From ruddy children with the snow at
play
Ring penis of laughter gladder than In
May.
While friend greets friend with "Happy
be thy year!"
- Lou se Chandler Moulton.
