OF Commerce and Labor If a Cabinet
member be a widower, as is Mr.. James
Wilson, the present secretary of Agrl-

he may delegate sister or other rela-

when serving as attorney general None
of the ladies shake hands with callers
unless they know them personally. They
respond to the greetings OF strangers
with a bow-and. be ii confessed in
whisper, very often callers forget to greet
them, being absorbed In their heeting
glimpse of the President and his wife.
Tue one Cabinet member who escapes
the comparative ObscuT!ty that engulfs
his colleagues on this occasion is the Sec
rotary OF State, who introduces the for
eigD diplomats to the President. As has
been mentioned, these distinguished for
eigners from every land and cline
the guests of honor at the New Year re-
Ception, and the President receives them
In advance of all other guests. These
statesmen of friendly nations, who are
temporarily t;~rying at Miss Coiumbia's
court, assemble with their wives In the
Red Parlor which adjolns the Blue Par
Tor, where the President and his receiving
party are stationed, and promptly at II
O'Clock, when a hugle-Cal signals the
opening of the reception, they pass into
the Blue Room in single file; thence to
the Green Parlor aid East Room. and
finally to their waiting carriages ut the
south front Of the White House. Each

the White House on this occasion be
cause the President lets 1t be known
through the newspapers that he will be
glad to see all those who choose to cross
his Threshold. The great and near-great
of the official world come, however, be-
cause they are specifically hidden. the
foreigners who are the guests of honor,
not only receiving cards of invitation, but
colored pasteboards, which when given
TO their coachmen enable their carriages
TO pass into the grounds at special e.
trance, thus avoiding the delays that
would be inevitable at the crowded pub
entrances.
Now, presumably every person who has
an opportunity TO go to the White House
in an official capacity on New Years Day
is very glad to go. but even If one were
not so inclined he would consider it OBJ
iigatory. for an invitation to the White
House is tantamOuut to command. The

be construed as an affrOnt that might
lead to international i'll feeling. Similarly
the Chief Justice of the United States
and ELL the associate justices of the
United States Supreme Court are regular
visitors OH this occasion, and there lie al
ways a goodly representation of Unite6
States senators and representatives In
Congress, although the attendance OF
these lawmakers Is not prescribed by
custom to the extent that 1t is in the
case Of officials in the executive and ju-
dicial branches OF the government
The President is assisted by his wife In
receiving the New Year callers, and the
mistress of the White House in turn has
as aides the wife of the Vice President
ard the wives of the members of the
Presidents Cabinet. The gentlemen of
the Cabinet are present also, but they
are Of no more Importance than the
groom at q wedding. and the Vice Presi-
dent fares little better. The Vice Presi-
dent and the Cabinet members walk TO
the Blue Room in stately procession with
their wives at the beginning of the re-
ception, but Immediately thereafter they
go into eclipse, and the ladies Of Mrs
Rooseyelt's Cabinet" range themselves
on the right of the First Lady of the Land
In the order of the creation of the =
partments of which their husbands are
the heads. Thus the position next to the
wife of the Vice President Is occupied
by the wife of the Secretary of State,

Now the narrowing down to this one
day of the public's privilege TO greet its

naturally had the effect of greatly in
creasing the size Of the throlg that
surges through the White House gates on
this day of days. a few years ago the

night masses In all Catholic churches

this is entirely discretionary with the
