Dined at the White House.

The dinner given to Prince Henry by
President Roosevelt at the White
House. tonight, ended the honors- be-
slowed on the royal visitor by official

an elaborate scale and brought togeth-

The dinner table was set in the East
room, the decorations of which We're on
the most magnificent scale ever at
tempted in Washington. An effect and
new feature of the decorations was the
electric light illumination. Several
thousand little electric lights of all
colors supplemented illumination from
the great chandeliers. In the mirrors
and windows the electric light designs
were of stars and anchors, emblematic
of Prince Henry's duties as sailor.
The general effect of the decorations
was pink and white. The immense
table was formed in the shape of a
crescent with the cancave side towards
the east where President Roosevelt had
had his seat. Back of the seats occu-
pied by the President and the Presi-
dent and the royal visitor were draped
from the top of the window with the
German and American flags. Music
was furnished by the Marine Band.

given them a warm greeting and they
were accorded a hearty reception by
