In th reign of the present feminine fad for old silver plate, or, at least, for lata of antique design, it Is bbt every household mistress who Unde ready to hand a store of such ponderous prised heirlooms Bitch, however. Is the good lurtune of the First Lady of the Land. Thanks to the thoughtfulnee of Uncle Ham In years (one by, each succeeding mistress of the White House, whoever she may ha finds at her disposal at the presidential mansion a wealth of gold end silver plate that la colossal In the aggregate end verted enough In design to satisfy every Imaginable taste. Iit course, this accumulation of precious tableware has not been made aa a lesuU of the twentieth century appro-rla'o- n of such treasures, but la the out-conf the governmi-nta- l pulley of having nil the furnishings of the Wbite e House descend aa a legacy to each While Unrle Ham eoccupant the mistress of the While House xit! to pay, out of her husbands 2M.OOO eatery, for all the food thst la eaten on the presidrntul table, she la not expected to pi nvlde tableware. The government does that and It not only furnishes the alichina and table linen used tor, on private occasions, as well aa et state but also undertakes to prolnqueta, vide for the care nnd repnlr of all table appointments, and fo replace any pieces which nuiy lie broken or dumeged ao aa to he unlit for use. eroua landlord. He allows each succeeding Lady of the land a free end hand In equipping her dining-rookitchen. Even If the White Hotter silver 'chests and china closets die crowded to overllowlng with seemingly everything that could possibly be used in the preparation and serving of breakfasts, luncheons, dinners end suppers there la no quibbling if a new four-yea- r queen chooses to relegate all the board to the storeroom and exercise her own sweet will In ordering a new outfit In accordance with her Individual taste. There la, however, a string to this prodigality on behalf of each fair of the Executive. Mansion. Though she may have personally selected every. piece of tableware purchased during her regime, or possibly even designed them and hud them made to order, aha must leave ell behind when the time aomes to say good-bShe la not allowed to take away with her so much aa a single piece aa a souvenir, even though she had selected for the purpose some damngwd piece which had outlived Its usefulness. All the tableware la In the custody of a steward, wlio. although he Is appointed by the president, receives hie salary of ll.MO a year Rom the government, and at the end of each three months he prea report In which he la obliged pares to account or every artlrle In hie possession down to the last place of silver and hit of china. With suqh a governmental policy any housewife will readily appreciate that tint m y. ng tl occupied accumulated an Immense gradually of tableware of all kinds. Of quantity this the silver and gold plate le probably the moat Interesting, even aside from the present fad fur such ijooaee-slon- a For one thing the collection of plate Is much more complete historically than la that of clilna. for ao much of tha China ha a been broken that of tbe seta ordered by the earlier ladles of the White House scarcely a place remains, whereas the collection of silver plate of that early period le Intact. Then there le the fact that thla prealdentlal sliver plate can be seen nowhere save at the White ilouae. Up to the time of the Cleveland administration the government held periodical auction sales of the broken or chipped pieces of Whlta House china ana a number of these Imperfect specimens have found their way into the hands Of collectors, who have paid aa high aa US for a single plate, but no collector can boast tha possession of a specimen of White House silver. The one disappointing fenture tn connection with the White House silver pbtte is that It Is next to Inipoxalliln to trace the history of ths Individual those purchased pieces, particularly prior to the Civil war. Unfortunately no historical record has ever been kept of tha tableware used by tha first ladles of the land, hut in tha ease of much of tho clilna It has been possible to trace Its history from the fact that a number nf the mistresses of the While p lUt'ei-edin- of treasures exposed to view.
