For the first time In six years, since Presl - denf Woodnow Wilson occupied the White House, It Is being redecorated and beautified and, Incldontiilly, Is taking on au air of splendor never equally during the regime of a for- .mor president.

About all that will reman of the former TurnlBhlnEs is a handsome gold embossed piano, placed there by Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt.
