the state dining room and passed IN
line before the President as the guests

admitted through the Red Room and
then the long line was begun through
the state dining room. This line was so
long at $3.50 o'clock that IL extended en-
tirely through the east terrace. and
many guests were unable even to leave
their carriages until those ahead of
them had been able to proceed on their
long progress to the Blue Room.
On this account many persons did not
leave their carriages at all. and others.
after standing in line, gave up the
pleasure Of greeting the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt. The time required to
proceed from the terrace to the Blue
Room was invariably from one and a
half to two hours.

barrier and admitted them 20 the

found opportunity to pass to the other
two parlors or to the long corridor and
East Room
The increase this year in the number
Of Cabinet hostesses receiving with Mrs
Roosevelt occasioned this change, which
will be observed at all the following
receptions.
Unavoidable Delays.
At the conclusion of the reception the
difficulty of guests in securing their
carriages detained many of them in
the east terrace until some time past
midnight. The electric carriage call was
used to the best advantage possible, in
the hands of a capable member of the
White House staff. The difficulty lay
in the impossibiiity of stopping more
than two conveyances at a time I'm the
terrace porte-cochere.
The Improvement over last years ac-
commodations is marked, however for
guests are now able to wait in glass;
inclosed, heated corridor until their car
riages arrive Unfortunately this inn
provement was less evident 70 many
of the guests than the delay to which
all were subjected. Under the present
arrangement of the terrace approaches,
however any other result seems impos-
sible of realization.
