A LUNCHEON PARTY TODAY

no part of the mansion was crowded. The
President and the receiving party did not
come down stairs until few minutes
past 8, and at quarter past 10 the end
of the incoming line across the front cor
ridor was in sight. so that the function
! was over within the hour and half pre-
scribed for it, The weather had probably
something to do with the reduced at
tendance Of those who usually come afoot,
and the fact of another reception tonight
at the White House, at which both the old
and the young guests invited can enjoy
dancing in the East Room was another
| reason.
| The brilliancy, however, of last night S
event is indisputable. The diplomats in
their snowy uniforms and modish dress
ing or the women. which rang all the
changes through the classic models to
other last words from Paris. with fortunes
IN gems, made gala spectacle.
Inc diplomatic corps had assembled in
the red room and state dining room be-
fore the receiving party had arrived in
the blue room. The Italian ambassador
and Baroness Mayor DIES Planches were
at the head of the line. Following the
reception of the diplomats the guests in
vlted TO the blue room paid their re-
| spects to the President
| Ihere were so many personal friends in
tnis procession that their progress across
the blue room and to the roped-in portion
or the green room was extremely slow.
| The diplomats soon found themselves in
the east room. with the other great at
fractions of the evening remained for an
hour so.
