In the general promenade preceding the dane
ing the Presidents family relatives and per-
sona friends looked down from the balcony and
seemingly thoroughly enjoyed the scene, Miss
Alice Roosevelt. who was in the centre OF this
interested throng, wore robe of cloth or gold
tissue trimmed on the skirt and bodice with
trailing pink roses. A gold and diamond neck
lace was around her throat, and. as is her GUS

pretty brown hair.
AS soon as the President and his party left

was taken away and space at the east end Of
the court was cleared for dancing. In all the
ether space on the floor of the great building
there was standing room only.
