(To be eontlnned l W H IT E HOUSE CHINA la \ r t r r fà lveu t e a r a n d S old O n ly A f t e r «"’ o r i n i t i I o l i t i m i n o t l o o . Custom at the \Vhite House de mands that no dish shall appear on the table (especially on state occa sions) that Is not absolutely without defect. Not merely a chip, but the slightest scratch ln the gliding on the edge of » plate or cup, or the almost imperceptible wearing of a color de sign. Is sufficient to condemn the piece. It Is put aside, and by-and-by, when a number of such "rejects" have accu mulated, they are Inspected by the steward (who is official custodial, of all executive properties), and sent off to auction, writes Rene Bach. Under the law-, the official china cannot be given away under any clr- cuinstances, and can never be sold ex cept in the manner described, after formal condemnation. Condemned White House china always brings very high prices at the auction sales—espe cially pieces of the Lincoln. Grant and Hayes sets. Even a badly cracked Lincoln cup and saucer, or damaged egg cup. may fetch *15 or $20. On the other hand, a Franklin Pierce plate in good condition Is not likely to command more than $6. Washington and Jefferson crockery Is always sala ble at fancy prices; but none of It comes from the White House, where only a few specimens remain and are kept on exhibition In the cabinets ln the basement. The first and original executive chlnaware was Imported front England by George Washington — who, of course, never occupied the White House. Nearly all of It has disappear ed, only a few pieces still existing ln the hands of collectors. But even more interesting, perhaps, are the rare rem nants of the crockery set (likewise of British manufacture) Intended for the Confederate executive mansion at Richmond, but which, It Is understood, Jefferson Davis never had an oppor tunity to use. It was captured, confis cated. and scattered, only an occasion al fragment ot It being to-day discov erable ln the cabinets of curio lovers. At the time when (ln 1902) the pur chase of a complete new service of queensware was contemplated by Mr. Roosevelt, a careful Inventory was made of all the china In the White Hortse. It was found to comprise 143 pieces of the Lincoln set. 125 pieces of the Grant set, 371 pieces of the Hayes set. 30 pieces of the Arthur set, 1,745 pieces of the Cleveland set. 459 pieces of the Harrison set, and 321 pieces of the McKinley set. The Roosevelt china, which was or dered from England <$23.0UU being paid for It), Is white and gold, and, as might be Imagined, exceedingly handsome. Each plate and platter baa the coat-of-a.ma of the United States, ln gilt, ln the border. This set orig inally comprised 3,000 pieces. Includ ing cups, saucers, etc., and Is to-day almost Intact, great care having been taken of It. so that very few of tbe pieces are broken. Hence It Is exceed ingly unlikely that the Tafts will be obliged to buy any more crockery for the White House. A D e lic a te M la t . "Poor Miss Oldgirl!
