preparation for any one set Of guests
at state functions, but the rule was
broken ON this occasion, and in the ar
rangement of the table the choice Of
flowers and the draping Of flags, which
made 20 brilliant an addition to the
ordinary decorations, the taste Of the
President was consulted, and more of
his personality, perhaps, entered into
the hospitality he was extending to
Admiral Dewey than ever has been the
case with former state affairs.
The red corridor was bright with
crimson light. The table was all in
red, with meteor roses, begonias and
orchids massed in places and roses

Room was hung with flags, and mantel
and window seats were banked with
palms. Mrs. Mckinley entertained the
wives of members Of the Cabinet in
her apartments, and before the even
ing was over they all met in the
library, and were presented to the Ad-
milal.
Each guest was presented to Ad-
mlral Dewey by the President. The
two walked together to the red cor
ridor while the Marine Band played

ahout two hours at the table. The
toast to Admiral Dewey was given by
President Mckinley, and it reused an
enthusiasm unusual in the formal at
mosphere of the Executive Mansion
Coffee was served at small tables in
the state dining room, and this was
the smoking room of the occasion.
On this the same as on every other
occasion where Admiral Dewey has ap-
peared since his arrival in the United
States, he was cheered to the echo.
