'. .5tw president will follow the ex- j mplo of a long list of predecessors ( find efwl his mesirs to congress j Instead of reading thorn in person. Only two presidents Thomas Jefferson and Woodrow Wilson delivered their meAjvigos In person. Closed I'our Years. Though one of the "show places' of th nation the white house ha been cloned to the public much of the tlm for a!mo.t four yearn. "When war was declared with Germany the lroa Rates of the white houwe were shut Inexorably against all those who did not have some official business there, and they have never been opened, although the restrictions as to other places gradually have been removed. Even the white house correspondents may not wulk about the lawns north of the biff house, where in other years tho public was admitted without question. The reason for a continuation of these, restrictions Is that about the tlrr.o tho heat of war had begun to cool and the other bulidlngs were beinff opened to the public Pres't "Wilson was taken ill and It was thought advtsablo to keep the public rs far awuy from him as possible. The plan was desirable from the view of the secret service men, as It was an additional safeguard against his being disturbed by cranks and sensation seekers. To hundreds of thousands of Americans tho white house' is a hrlne, hardly second to Mt. Vernon, the home of George Washington, in the reverence shown it. For many years the lar?-e lawn south of the house has'been closed to the public, tut the. smaller lawn on the north side, through which the main driveway runs, was always open until 1317. Tourists from rear and far found this one of the most interesting places In Washington. In the antewar period all visitors wore admltto. to the white house at certain hours, whero guides conducted them through certain rooms. These included ?he big east room, with Its famous pold piano, rare tapestries and its atmosphere of high state functions. The exhibits of gifts from "Grant china." "Roosevelt china" and other household furnishings of former presidents also might be viewed by any one. Marino Hand Played. Durlnt; the greater part of Pres't "Wilson's first administration there were only minimum restrictions in force at the white house. In the Bummer months it was the practice to have the Marino band play on tho lawn just south of the house and for a few hours the public. was admitted to the spacious grounds there. Frequently the president and the first Mrs. Wilson would sit on the large couth portico, where the president now spends most cf his time, and would enjoy the music with the public. It also was the time-honored custom to allow children on the south lawn on Faster Monday to roll multicolored eggs down Its grassy slopes, and as there was a rule against admitting adults unless they brought children with them it was not unusual for thobe without little ones to "borrow" tots for the occasion. This has not been done, however, for several years and the Faster eggrollings htive become almost a memory and nothing more. The enforce-d 5ecluslon of Pres't Wilson, coming on the heels of the xestrlctions so necessary during the war, has thu made the white house tno of the dullest spots In Washington, although in normal times it ii the center of offleial. political and even recreational activity. Though the president has partially recovered from his Illness It is not expected that the white house will be reopened to lis old-time activities while he is its occupant, but the new president, whoever he may he. is expected to return to the practices of other days. t Quits $13,000 Position To Wed $2,000 Per WKIXF.SLFY. Mass.. July 20. Miss Bessie F. Farmer, private secretary to Roger W. Babson, noted Ptatlstlclan. says she can't keep on working and make a home what it should be for her future husband: po she Is sacri.cir.g an annual Income of $13.000 to devote herself to housework. Miss Parker is to become the tri de of Flroy L. Powers, of Norwood, a J2."00-a-year t-mploj'e of the Plnkharn Press. She believes, she says, that woman's place is the home. "With the income she is giving up, a retinue of servants capable of caring for a mansion could be secured. But Miss Parker thinks that the wife's personal tcy:ch and supervision of the household are far more vital than m6r.ey. Neither cricket nor g-clf ever had er.y particular attraction for King George V, but in his younger days he was ranked as cne cf the best frame s.hot In Fn.T'and. He is aiso nr. enthusiastic yachtsman, a f.ne horserruin, a ;ood skater and a keen angler, and enjoys a game of tenr.i3. Not the least Inter-sting feature cf the royal museum at Windsor castle is the collection of gold kevs. presented to King Gecrge, and his royal predecessors on tha occasion cf opening of public buildings, to Kch of which is atts.ched a brief account of the ceremony with which It tJ connect.
