of receiving in the Red Room, thereby
leaving the East Room open as q re-
ceptacle for the crowd, where they
might promenade or converse, the
President and Mrs. Hayes received in
the center OF that room, and the guests
had 10 approach them through the long
hall, aud after the reception pass
through the Red and Blue Rooms. This
arrangement packed the crowd into the
hall and smaller rooms, leaving the
spacious East Room but sparsely filled.
Mrs. Hayes was Attired 10 q rich gar.
net velvet dress, trimmed with silk OF
the same color. At her throat q bunch
of pink roses nestled among the fold.
of the white crepe llsse. The guests
were introduced 10 the President b,
Mr.. Rogers, bis Private Secretary.
The costumes worn by the ladic
were most elegant, aud the amount o
dress greatly exceeded that Of the frs
reception. To note all the elegan
dresses worn would be to go beyonr
