and members Of both Houses Of Congress
with designated members OF their
families, aud officers Of the army and
navy, were invited to meet them.
Practically the invitation extended 70 all
s'sociely Washington" for a more bril-
liant assemblasc has seldom been seen In
this city. A temporary covered way was
erected from the sidewalk for distance OF
about fifty yards to the east OF the main
portico, and window opening direct
ly upon the staircase leading to
the private secrctary's rooms,
was by means Of carpeted steps
improyised into an entrance way for the
occasion. This was a reversal Of the or
der Of procession previously adopted,
and, like nearly all the changes intro
duccd by Marshal McNIchacl during his
term as major domo was great i'm
proycment.
At seven minutes past nine the Marine
Band struck up the dolOrous, but appar-
emily inevitable "iiail 10 the Chlcf,r and
the reception began.
The President was supported on his
right by his sister Mrs. McElroy, Mrs.

cent toilets were privately perfected.
The crowd was very great, and 1t took
more than half N hour TO run the gaunt-
let, even To those most fayorably placed.
But there was no attempt IT crowding.
The ladies' dresses, what there was OF
them, were simply gorgeous; but In a
number OF instances there was little visi-
Bile above the waist. except pair OF
slender shouldcr-straps; all the rest had
run down TO the train.
In the spacious East room, where the
guests promepaded alter passing out OF
the blue room, where the President re-
ccivcd them, there was scene which, Tor
diversity OF decorations, gold lace and
feathers and handsome toilets, could prob
ably not be surpassed by the most "effetc
monarchy Of Europe.
The reception was to last from niue un-
tn eleven o'clock, but 1T half-past ten
numbcrless carriages We're still arriving.
