Mrs. Roosevelts dress was OF white lace over blue
silk, with a pink ribbon caught with roses She
carried large bunch OF La France roses. The
United States Army Engineer Band and the
Marine Band played number Of popular airs. In
the Railways and parlors green plants and ferns
and pots OF primroses were placed In the corners
and on the mantels. The East Room has rarely
been decorated more attractvely than II to-
night. Wild Southern srnilax was garlanded over
the chandelier centrepieces forming circles twelve
feet I'm diameter. Roped asparagus was hung over
the chandeliers. On the east mantels there were
fine beds of pink carnations intermixed with
maidenhair ferns. Surmounting the mirrors were
clusters OF crotons, palms and other greens. On
the west nantels potted flowers were tastefully
placed. and. as usual. the mirrors were curtained
with smllax. Palms. crotons and ferns were placed
In the window recesses. For two hours there were
nearly one thousand people IN the East Room. and
half as many were promenadtng In the corridors,
parlors and conservatory. Almost all the Senators
and Representatives and their families were pres
emit In addition to their friends and members OF the
Diplomatic Corps the executive officials and off,
GERS OF the army and navy. BY II o'clock nearly all
the guests had left the White House.
General James II. Wilson and Captain Charles E.
Clark. who will represent the army and navy at
the coronation of King Edward. talked with the
President to-day in general way concerning their
duties on that occasion. Captain Clark later
by Senator Proctor. The presentation occurred In
the Marble Room. The reception was informal and
most cordial
a delegation OF Spanish War veterans called at
the White House to-day and urged the Presi-
dent the wisdom and justice OF giving Spanish war
veterans preference over civilians In appointments
to places in the government Civil Service. The
President said he recognized that there was merit
In the request and he would take up the matter
with the Cabinet and do what he could TO carry
their views into practical operation.
