All those preparations are amen- ities Mrs. Roosevelt has observed wherever she has lived. They're made for all her guests, Yor some young unknown she is befriending as well as for a visiting King and Queen, ‘The British guests will find, prob- ably gratefully, that the White House beds really were designed to rest weary bones. The pillows are down-filled. There's always an extra blanket around. Periodically, Mrs, Roosevelt checks the eight guest rooms on the second floor and the three on the third for such details. Barbers Are Extra Such matters as buttons, rips, and pressing of clothing are tend- ed to by the White House staff. But for shaves, shines, hajrcuts and waves the guests must either go out or call an operator to the White House. That probably won't hap- \pen with the British royalty since | they have a lady’s maid and valet |in their company. W At breakfast, Mrs, Roosevelt, jwill tell her guests the hours for {luncheon and dinner. The time va- ries, [ gram. | By discreet questioning, Mrs.)| | Roosevelt usually learns if one of | her guests is on a diet or has a spe- | ! cial dislike for particular foods. | (When Secretary Harry Hopkins was recuperating from an opera- tion and lunched with the Presi- dent he got a special diet tray.) | The White House food should please the visitors. The menus gre | American, and usually only food | in season is served. But the house- keeper, Mrs. Henrietta Nesbitt, has made a long study of food frills— | sauces with foreign flavoring, flaky pastries and light desserts. Hot or Cold The final rule about the food is that simple one which so often is violated: If it's hot food, it must be hot; if it's cold food, it must be chilled. Washington used to be full -of | stories about lukewarm White House chicken and melted White House ice | cream. But Mrs. Roosevelt changed that by installing steam cabinets and ice cabinets to bring the food the longish trek from the Kitchen downstairs to the dining room. . o egn Riedels Visit in Juneau as Guests Of Trevor Davisés For a three weeks' vVisit in Ju- neau as house guests of Mr. and Mrs. Trevor Davis at their Sixth Street residence, Mr, and Mrs. Waj- | ter Riedel, of Dayton, Ohio, ar- rived here yesterday on the steam- er North Sea.
