z L r s o n A L n OF E S

No more brilliant occasion has marked
| the winter series of receptions at the White
/ House than that accorded last night when
| the officers of the army, navy and marine
corps were the special guests. The national
| colors and floral designs of stars, anchors
! and shields were conspicuous adornments
| of the east room and the corridor. The
mantels of the east room were richly bank
| ed in flowers, and the floral emblems were
| suspended over the mirrors The blue flag
| of the Secretary of the Navy hung over the
| east room transom. The Presidents flag
| and that of the Secretary of War We're also
| in the corridor. Garlands of asparagus
| made arbor effects in the blue room, where
| so much of the interest OF the evening CEN
tered.
| Evidently there We're few invitations sent
| out for last evening not accepted. The
| hopes of good many individuals who had
| ambitions to join the assembIage were
! frustrated by the watchfulness of the door
| keepers, who did not find the names men
| toned in the invited list. The guests ar
| rived early, and there was scarcely a mo-
| mentS tagging in the presentations to the
| president until after 1910, when carriages
at the main entrance We're unloading as

| teSy the presence of the members of the
