State Dinner at the White House

cAnb - - " AAOuSO
Washington. January 4.-The first
formal state dinner of the season at the
White house took place tonight when
the president and Mrs. Mckinley enter
tanned the cabinet. The public portions
of the mansion had been decorated in
the elaborate manner usual on such oc-
casions and every available space was
made fragrant and beautiful by the use
of flowers from the White house con-
servatory. Owing to the large number
of guests the table was set in the main
corridor and lighted with candles. The
floral decorations presented a handsome
appearance. There were three centre
pieces of brides roses with a ground
work of maiden hair fern, partly con-
cealed in which were colored mean
descent lights. Lady slipper orchids
were also in abundance, while at the
plate of each guest was a boutonnier of
East room there was a profusion of cut
in appropriate places around the room,
while the ceiling and the walls were
hung with southern smilax. In the
East room there was a profusion of uct
flowers, potted plants and trailing
ferns. Contrary to the custom hereto
fore observed the marine band occupied
a place in the conservatory, where the
musical effects were better than from
the position in the vestibuie, which it
had occupied at all previous state
functions
