forming clear out In the dressing room press
ing for entrance. The pressure was 80 great
at times that the pages formed barrier
across the line with their clasped hands to
keen the crowd back. Mrs. Mclean gave
each guest a handclasp, and before the re-
ception was half over the glove upon heI
right hand was IN ribbons, and instead OF
heinp white as early in the evening, looked
as though the weaIer had by mistake worn
one white and one black glove. The great
bouquet of orchids carried carry IN the
evening was soon laid aside, and 1t was sug-
gested that if the president general had TO
resort to the use of the gavel very much to-
day she will take it in the left hand, as her
good right one was swollen and practical
wreck when the pleasures Of the evening
were over.
Mrs Main wore trained gown of white
satin and lace and wore diamonds and
pearls. The pages were all dressed In
pretty, white gowns, and some of them car
rfed flowers. Ices and punch were served
throughout the evening in the alcove at the
side of the banquet hall. and the Willard
orchestra played national airs and other
Well-known music, many of the old-tme
