RECEPTION TO THE JUDICIARY.

IRON THE TRIBUNE BUREAU-i
Washington Jan. 2.-The President and Mrs
Roosevelt held a State reception tonight In honor
of the judiciary. In addition to the legal body
there We're present thousand and more guests
from official and general society and many visitors
from other cities. The novelty OF the new
White House has worn away, and even those VINO
objected to the Innovations made have become so
accustomed TO the change that admiration has
taken the place of the criticism so freely bestowed
last year. At each state reception there are many
guests of course. who openly express their prefer
enee for the floral decorations of the old regime,
when the White House florists achieved exquisite
and surprising effects with miles OF garlands, tons
Of flowers and forests of tall. graceful palms. Even
these, however feel that it would be nothing short
of vandalism TO mar the spotlessness or the re-
modelled walls and columns with the nails and
wires necessary to the placing Of floral adornments
