dents reception OF the public New

ing and looking at the crowd. Then,
spying many familiar faces in the
apartment, Miss Alice waved he;
greetings. Immediately she was SUI
rounded by army and navy officers,
senator's and their wives, members
of congress and their wives, among
whom were some of those who had
been to the Philippines with the Taft
party, but who had not had an OPP
portunity of seeing Miss Alice since
that time.
About Miss Alice's neck was a
very simple but handsome diamond
necklace. with huge diamond pen
dant-the Christmas gift from NJ.
Longworth. The diamonds encirc,e1
the neck completely and gave off a
gorgeously wealth of fire. IL was
shown about TO the friends with

tn levee that put the presidents re-
ception in the background. Miss
Alice was real picture girl--a pos
ter girl. She wore a slate blue chill
fon gown over a pink silk. At the
corsage was a huge bunch of orch.ds
of delicate lavender; upon her "cn-
gagement" finger was a ring of three
pigeon blood rubies, encircled with
pearls About her neck was the dia-
mond necklace. the pendant falling
to the bosom.
