Vice President Morton's Reception.
The reception rendered last night by
Vice President and Mrs. Morton to
Vice President-clect and Mrs. Steven
son. at their residence on Scott Circle,
Washington, marked another deviation
by Mr.. Morton from the traditions sur
rounding his position. 1t was an I'M
precedentcd thing for the outgoing
Vice President to bestow any recogni-
ton, official or social, upon his success
or, the exchange OF such compliments
having heretofore been confined to the
occupants of the presidential chair.
Mr.. Morton had served in the House of
Representatives of the Forty-sixth Con-
gress with Olr. Stevenson, and ever
Since there has existed between them a
sincere and mutual esteem and regard.
In anticipation of the event, Mr.. Nor
toms elegant mansion had been deco
rated with palms, ferns, foliage plants
and cut flowers.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morton received their
guests in the doorway separating the
Daror from the corridor, out of which
rises the grand staircase, and which oc-
cupies the center of the west end OF the
house. At their side stood Mr.. and
Mrs. Stevenson, to whom the passing
throng were introduced in turn by
the host. 1t was distinguished and
representative gathering that greeted
the new official and his wife. The in
vitations numbering six hundred, and
but few of the recipients failed to re-
spond in person, but there was no
crush to interfere with a full enjoyment
of the event by all present. There
were the members Of the Senate almost
en- masse, with whom Mr.. Stevenson
will be so intimately associated the
next four wears; members Of the Cabi-
net, assistant secretaries OF the depart
ments, heads of the bureaus, the New
York and Illinois delegations in the
House of Representatives, the justices
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, and of the District of Column
bia and Court of Claims the diplomat
ic corps, in all the brilliancy of the in
sigma of their several orders and hon
ors the heads of the army and navy,
and Il good sprinkling of the subordi-
nate officers.
In addition to these official guests,
the Vice President and Mrs. Morton
presenteds to Mr.. and Mrs. Stevenson |
