Ol 1ouB- i worth. looking very much at home.
 was also present. The speaker of the house and the vice president came early and stayed late, and were the re- cipients of much admiring attention. Mir. Cannon, in an irreproachably cor
 ,ect frock coat. tie and all the other fixings. kept one hand stretched in continual greeting while the other clutched soft gray felt hat, worn from wind and rain but from which he refused to be parted.
 The armyfand navy, making almost as glittering can array as the diplomats followed the handful of congressman. and were far and away the largest and most distinguished looking body of men present. After that little order was observed and the great unwashed pressed hard upon the heels of the bu- reau chiefs, war veterans, and oldest Inhabitants. their gaucheries causing visible amusement to the elect behind the line in the Blue Room, as they crowded through to grasp the hand of the President and receive Mrs. Roose- velt's pleasant smile. some as bold as lions others as timid as coursed rab
 bits. but all of them impressed with the importance of the occasion. Five little girls. each hugging a frowsy looking Teddy bear, caused much mer- riment. As the president shook hands with little group he laughed outright and exclaimed. By George. a perfect procession of Teddies." At which. of course everybody laughed again.
 The scene in the Blue Room, where about two hundred women. the wives and daughters of prominent men were |invited to assist. presented kaleido- scope in which beautiful faces. lovely gowns. gorgeous uniforms. and the ec- centric attire of the Chinese and Turks made ever varying changes.
 Mrs. LongwOrth. looking a little pale but quite as animated. and. if possible more dainty and girlish than ever. was the observed of all observers. She wore a beautiful frock of light gray chiffon velvet trimmed with touches of the flmiest lace and bits of blue velvet. Wide pointed bretelles fell ov- CT the shoulders of the elbows of the long sleeves while the long perfectly plain skirt lay in wondrous folds about her very small. gray-shod feet Miss Ethel too. came in for her share of at tention. and looked exceedingly grown up in a long frOck of pink crepe. Theodore, jr.. was quite the lion or the hour where the women were concern ed. especially the younger belleS. He is beginning to show a remarkable re- sembiance to his distinguished father. although the likeness was never ob- servable until after the operation which eradicated the disfigurinG de- feet in his eyes. Kermit. Archie and even the irrepressible Quentin. were also visible. although they mixed very little with the company and seemingly took no interest in the proceedings.
 Others who attracted much attention were Mrs. James R. Mckee, daughter of the late President Harrison. and her ,ister-in-law. Mrs. Russell Harrison.
 Both were accompanied by their daughters. one time babies of the White House. and now grown young women. The Ambassador to London and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid were also a center of interest. MT. and Mrs. Reld are spending the week with Rear AG- miraI and Mrs. COwles, the president brother-in-l law and sister. and VIII De the recipients of much attention dur ing the stay in Washington
 Mrs. and Miss Foraker. although ln- vited to the Blue Room as on former occasions were conspiciously absent Other missing faces which have been long familiar to Vanity Fair were those of former Senator Cockrell and his interesting family. Miss Foraker and Miss Anna CockreI figured later 1 in the day among the galaxy of beaut- ies with which Mrs. Fairbanks, more than any other woman in official life
 surrounds herself on her reception days. Miss Cockrell has developed from a tall slender lilylike looking girl into an usunally handsome woman, and prcsideS over her fathers house. hold with as much grace and charm as her older sister Mrs. Gallaudet did in her girihood days.
 Among the participants in the re- ception were Capt. and Mrs. Seth Bullock. of Deadwood. s. D.. and Capt. Jack Greenway. d former Rough Rider. all house guests of the President ahc Mrs Roosevelt Mrs. Bullock occu- pied the end position in the receiving line and seemed a most interesting spectator. Capt. Greenway. who tow cred head and shoulders above the other men. was appointed to look after Mrs. Longworth. who could not be pre- vailed upon to leave the Blue Room where it was greatly feared she would suffeh from over eXertion. However. when the time for her to retire arriv- ed the captain triumphantly bore his
 fair charge out and away from tho scene of gaietv. while MT. Longworth looked on in gloomy silence, and short 1 ly afterward disappeared.
