Alligator Cqati KINGSTON LUGGAGE for Quality erchandise" 199 Wall l'iioite Imagine an average of 600 people a week streaming through home, bedrooms and all! Mrs. Robert F. Wagner, wife of New York mayor, takes I this in stride. Since 1954 ihe Wagners have lived in Gracie Mansion, the famous 18-19th century house that New York provides hs a home for its mayors. The "First Lady" of the world largest city, said that because she is "always aware that the house isn't she has wanted to share it with others as much as possible yet maintain a home atmosphere for her husband and their two sons She permits charitable organizations to 11 st' the mansion for teas hut not during vacations when her sons are home from school.

Unlike the White House where tours are restricted to the public rooms, Gracie Mansion has family Jiving quarters only and those attending the teas get to see pretty much of the entire house, one way or another. Mrs. Wagner recently told an interviewer from the National Association of Home Builders that a woman at one of the teas once got locked in the broom closet. The door to the closet had been closed but the tendency ot Visitors is not to miss anything. Fhe other afternoon a "corn; pa rat ively small group" of 125 women came for a program and tea.

Their caterers tilled the kitchen with trass of strawberry pastries and other sweets. Furni- tore in the drawing room was flushed hack, folding chairs moved in through the French windows and a coat rack was in; stalled in the bedroom of one ot the Wagner hoys. Most ot the guests, after leaving their coats, took a good look at the other upstairs rooms, too. Overlooks East River New "First Lady," an attractive blonde, indicated that getting the mansion hack in shape after such a function is not too much of a problem. Her real concern has been to give Gracie Mansion a friendly, homey look rather than the appearance of a museum, which it once was.

It is a two-story, white frame structure with a frontage of 65 feet and a depth of 50 feet. Piazzas on three sides overlook the hast river and the Harlem river. Around the mansion are lawns and stately trees. Although its history goes hack to 1646, the mansion gets its name from Archibald Gracie. a yealthv shipowner who bought jt in 1798 and enlarge it in 1815.

Fhe city acquired if in 1891 and in 1942 made it the "mayors Wagner is the fourth mayor to live in it. The city furnishes the mansion. There ate treasured chests, tables atid oil paintings, many of them 011 loan from the New 01 museums, in the reception hall, drawing room, library and dining room. Mrs. Wagner has photographs, books, flowers and clusters of green leaves to give a homey air to these downstairs rooms.

Small staff The mayor uses the library for frequent business conferences Books by former I man are among th the coffee tables, foi mat ion a imanae that seats a maximum of 24. Considering the large numbers who are in and out ot the mansion, its staff is surprisingly small a butler, cook, laundress, upstairs maid, downstairs maid and a genial supervisor, Charles Speckman who keeps things running smoothly. Mrs. Wagner said that one of the first things she did when she moved into Hie mansion was to take down the Venetian blinds 011 windows facing the rivers. She explained, "I like Venetian blinds, usually, but here, you rather have the view." I 11 Furniture Mrs.

Wagner has brought in some of her own furniture. She has her owrf sofa in the huge master bedroom, where he mayor has lour telephones at his bedside. I here is a TV set in the room, many hooks, and, near the sofa, a pair of easy chairs and a coffee table. MJke every other room in the mansion, the bed! room has its own workable fireplace. Record players in the room of Duncan, 12, reflects his absorb- 1 ing interest in Hi-Fi and tape recording.

Robert, 15, has an electric train from Germany set up in his room, with a "Please do not touch" sign on it. There is reason for that. The only real heartache the Wagners have had as a result of sharing the mansion was the disappearance of silver mug that was given to Robert by his grandmother when he as a ha by. Once, after an organization tea, the Wagners found a set of teeth on the arm of the sofa in the library. Mrs.

Wag- said they worked out a way the owner could claim tho teeth without embarrassment hut "no claimant ever appeared."
