absence of formality. The number of
small children who were brought by
their parents to shake hands with the
president was unprecedented.
The weather was cool and bracing
and the thousands of people who as
sembled to greet President and Mrs.
Roosevelt showed the utmost good ma
ture during their long wait in the
White House grounds before they
gained admission to the mansion.

urging the callers past the receiving
party. Contrary to the custom of re-
cent years Mrs. Roosevelt and the Ia
dies of the cabinet remained in the
red room throughout the function.
There were receptions at the home Of
Vice President Fairbanks, Speaker
Cannon and the members Of the cabl-
net.
The closing of all the government
departments and of local business
concerns enabled thousands of officials
and employees to participate in cele-
brating the day.
President Roosevelt, after receiving
at the White House, took long cross
country horseback ride.
Memorable Occasion.
To Mr.. Roosevelt the occasion was
memorable beyond any in which he has
taken part since his elevation to the
tations there were many references to
the events of his careerduring the COM
ing year, when he will face the dan
gers Of the African wilderness. Sew
eral houys before the formal recep-
ton began at II o'clock, citizens, men
and women. representing every social
class, began to assemble in front of the
beautiful portico Of the historic white
mansion, waiting an opportunity to
enter and be presented to the presi-
dent.
