The New Years day reception at the White
-House is the only formal reception OF the year
that is open to all citizens. There are other
receptions given by the president and his wife
during the winter which are semipublic In
their nature but to which admission Is by card
only. The first of these receptions is given on
the second Thursday after New Years day. In
the evening 1t is called "the diplomatic re-
!. ception," and the guests are invited to meet the
ambassadors and ministers who are accredited
by foreign governments, to the United States
Another reception is given two weeks later
and the guests of honor whom the other guests
are invited to meet are the justices of the SUI
preme court of the United States. The third
reception is for the senators and representa-
. tives, in congress-, and the fourth and last Is
for the officers of the army and navy.
Nearly every day of the year the president
greets visitors in the Offices of the White
House at noon, and so it is possible for the
American citizen to exchange greetings with
the chief executive even though circumstances
prevent his saying Happy New Year. on jan
uary 1st, at the great White House holiday

On New Years day President Taft shakes
hands with something like 5000 of his fellow

shake hands, for if the presidents wife should
attempt it she could not hold the pen for a
good many days thereafter Shaking hands Is
a more trying occupation than most people may
imagine. Grover Cleveland had to give over
the practice for some time because he actual
ly amed his right hand and right arm until he
could not lift them without paft. Mr.. Roose-
welt had "a handshake which enabled him to
give a, seemingly hearty grip to everybody and
yet to spare his own hand the slightest mus

get the immense crowd In line and to main
tain order.
President Roosevelt came into office in the
month OF September, and because of the assas-
sination of President Mckinley while holding
a public reception in the Music hall at Buffalo.
it was urged that the New Years receptions
at the White House should be given over. 1t
was feared that some half-craZed person might
succeed in getting TO the presidents person
and repeat the awful crime of Buffalo Mr..
Roosevelt, however, would not listen to the ar
guments of the fearful ones, and the reception
was held as it always had been held and Mr..
Taft will keep up the custom. There have been
no interruptions to the New Years day recep-
tions during the history of the republic.
Precedence of necessity has to be considered
to some extent at the presidents receptions
When the officials of Washington life have
passed in front of the president and his wife
and have exchanged the greetings of the New
Year, the plain civilians and their wives,
daughters and sons, follow in whatever order
they may have happened to reach their place
in line If the millionaire does not want to be-
preceded by the poverty-stricken ne can stay
at home unless he chooses to get up early
enough to make sure that. he can get a. first
place. If any discrimination were shown the
president would hear of it. and there would be
end of a row.
Out OF courtesy to the who in a sense
are guests of the nation the ambassadors apd
ministers and the attaches Of legations are re-
ceived first The ambassador who has been
longest in the Washington service heads the
line and it makes difference whether he
comes from a great power from a. weak
power fer the length of his Washington resi-
dence alone decides the matter. The master
of ceremonies at the White House takes the
diplomatic list and the American official list
and s;1dies them for a week prior to the re-
ception If he should give place to some Of
fetal which by precedence right belonged to
another, there would be sulking, indignation
and very likely loud complaint. 1t is one of the
most delicate tasks in the world to arrange the
official guests at a New Years reception so
that there will be no friction and no heart
Eurungs.

knew them. These mistakes are con-

So it is that at the great receptions

hosts and hostesses who are accus-
toned to the ways of Washington
manage to get through the trying
hours of crowded receptions without
giving offense to anybody.
1t is the bounden duty OF every
subordinate official in Washington to

tice in the year that the city was
founded. and it has kept it up
with all it's social formalities
from that day to this.
The greatest New Years recep.
tion that the world knows is held
every year in the White House
with the president and his wife
and the cabinet officers and their

ment from the blue and gold
trappings of the ambassadors and
army officers of all nations, to
the toil-stained clothing of the la
borer and the calico gowns and
bandannas of the old-time plan

The White House, of necessity,
must be democratic, for this is a
democracy, and the same greet
