could enliven the prevailing dullness. The
White House was not only home of
mourning. but was quarantined by reason
of infectious fever. Consequently. there
could have been no Presidential reception
had not domestic bereavement forbidden 1t.
Cabinet officers and leading officials of the
Government of course, followed the exam

omission of all the official receptions, de.
priyed the day of all the life and color
which the brilliant uniform of the Diplo-
matte Corps and the officers of the Army
and Navy give to the occasion.
At nearly all the leading hotels. the Gus
tom which has been observed TO. many
years by the lady guests, of holding re-
ception in the par ors, was this year omitted.
Very few private residences kept open house.
With all the departments and places OF busi-

cept the open blrrooms aud restaurants
and the closed churches to distinguish the
day from one of the dulles, OF Washing
