Photograph of Mrs. President Roosevelt seated at her desk in the Library of the remodeled White House--from her latest photograph, approved by herself, and engraved expressly for this book [precedes title page]. In presenting this volume, in the preparation of which the utmost care has been taken, and no expense considered too great, I have endeavored to meet the demand for a story of the birth and growth of our National Capital, and for a comprehensive and interesting description of the countless and mighty interest that center there. The sketches of the Presidents of the great Republic, from Washington to McKinley, together with those of the ladies of the White House, whose influence has often been "the power behind the throne," I am sure will claim the interested attention of my readers. My first introduction to life in the city of Washington was in 1858, General Logan being then a member of Congress, and for more than thirty years I have lived there almost continuously, an interested observer passing events. It has been my aim to show my readers, both by word and pictorial art, the wonders and workings of the elaborate machinery of Government in motion, by leading them through the great national buildings and explaining what the army of busy men and women workers do and ow they do it; to show them the works of art, and the architectural glories and priceless treasures of the Capital; to portray not only daily life at the White House, past and present, but its brilliant social and official functions as well.
