attra Cted over 2,000 persons, 10 Wnorn tne
President and Mrs. Roosevelt gave a pleas
ant greeting. The Presidents hand shake
is always the genuine article and last
nights was no exception. Mrs. Roosevelt
was in one Of her prettiest gowns. an opal
tinted spangled lace, with which She wore
her diamond and pearl necklace. She car
ried bouquet as did the cabinet women in
line with her-Mrs. Shaw. dressed in a rich
white lace: Mrs. Knox. white lace with
touches of apple green velvet; Mrs. Hitch
cock white brocaded satin. and Mrs. Cor
telyou. in Valenciennes lace. over white
silk. Secretary Shaw, Attorney General
Knox, Secretary Hitchcock and Secretary
Cortelyou were also present in the blue
room.
Col Symons made the presentations to
the President and the usual detail of officers
was at their accustomed posts. There
We're no incidents beyond the fact that the
diplomatic guests, as each group arrived,
We're at once escorted to the blue room by
the corridor door. thus doing away with

No senator seemed anxious TO head the
advancing procession. not entirely because
of unwillingness to establish any new and
worrisome presidents. but because the
members of the Senate who attended came
fashionably late. The Speaker of the House
was early. but with characteristic modesty
took place in the line then stretched
across the red room. Miss Cannon, hand
somely gowned in ecru lace over white sat
in, accompanied her father.
