Washington, Jan. 1.-The people
of Washington seem never to tire Of
White House receptions. Today, as
on every New Years day for dec
ades past, thousands formed them
selves in line and stood for hours
in the White House grounds at the
risk of catching pneumonia for the
privilege of shaking the hand of the
President. There was little to distin-
former years. The recent change OF
British ambassadors caused a rear
rangement in the order of the diplo-
matte line and there were number
of new faces among the judiciary
and department officials and, of
course, among the members Of con-
gress For the most part, however,
the reception was attended by the
same officials. who were presented
in virtually the same order and
looking very much the same as last
year. AS for the President. the cen
tral figure in the days doings, he
looked just the same as he did a
year ago. was dressed the same and
in all probability was as glad when
the affair was over as he was a year
ago.
There was the same crush of peo-
pie about the doors of the executive
mansion and the same long line Of
shivering citizens who Had to wait
until the privileged guests had been
presented.
The White House was never more
beautiful than today. The marine
band of 60 pieces furnished music
throughout the reception.
