Since the President first entered Tie

he has entertained his guests most hOspit-
ably, but ii was not until tn" last winter
that he gave IL series of state dinners which
eYcelled any similar occasion AZ the White

Before President Arthur'S time no NOR"
than thirty-siN people had ever been seated
at tn" table in the dining room. Tn" room
