official who has come from n distance to pay
his respects. Mr.. Roosevelt had habit OF
holding the line UP quite frequently. and as n
result his receptions were likely to be rather
long drawn out II Mr. Roosevelt ever had seen
n man before. no matter how many years back
nor in what kind of an outof-theway place. he
was sure to remember him. and as n result his
acquaintance was very wide. He never liked
to let man whom he had once known pass
by with merely pr"functory handshake.

on New Years day the vicepresidcnts wife

selves to the right in order OF the cabinet rank

A few other women in official life are invited
by the presidents wife to assist her in her du
ties as hostess, and 1t is not at all an unusual
thing to invite some of the older residents OF
Washington whose families have no govern
ment connection. The cabinet officers and their
wives remain with the receiving party until
the reception is about two-thirds ended. and
then they go to their homes where they hold
semi.public receptions of their own.
The vIcc.presidcnt and Mrs. Sherman receive
on New Years day, and anyone who will. may
call AT the White House no refreshments are
served because it would be n physical impOss

crowds that are present. At the houses of the

is treated with all the consideration which is
shown the most prominent people. The incon'

spicuous one OF tomorrow. and one appre.

It is probably true in some measure at least.
that more ambitions have been Killed by the
mistakes of the wives of persons newly ap-
pointed to high Office than by the mistakes of
the officials themselves. Washington is Iull

ments OF government greet the president, ana
after them the ordinary citizen has his place
in line.
On New Years day President Taft shakes
hands with something like 5000 of his fellow
citizens and citizenesses Mrs. Taft does not
shake hands, for II the presidents wife should
attempt II she could not hold the pen for "A
good many days thereafter. Shaking hands Is
n more trying occupation than most people may
imagine Grover Cleveland had to give over
the practice for some time because he actual
ly iamed his right hand and right arm until he
could not lift them without pain Mr. Roose-
welt had n handshake which enabled him to
give a seemingly hearty grip to everybody and
yet to spare his own hand the slightest mus
cular strain Mr.. Taft must have had the
Roosevelt secret impaired to him. for he gives
the same kind of q hand greeting that was CIV
en- by his predecessor.
At the White House reception on New Years

re: 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.
1t 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 listenIto the ar
uments of the fearful ones. and the reception
was held as 1t always had Leen 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 II the millionaire does not want to be
preceded by the poverty-stricken he can stay
at home unless he chooses to get up early
enough to make sure that he can get first
place. If any discrimination were shown the
president would hear OF It, and there would be
no end of n row.
Out OF courtesy to the men who in a sense
are guests of the nation. the ambassadors and
ministers and the attaches of legations are re-
ceiyed first The ambassador who has been
longest in the Washington service heads the
line and 1t makes difference whether he
comes from n great power from weak
power for the length of his Washington resi-
dence alone decides the matter. The master
of ceremonies at the White House takes the
dipomatic list and the American official list
and studies them for a week prior the
rrution. 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 n New Years reception
that there win be no friction and no heart
burnings.
\ Following the ambassadors and ministers OF
foreign countries come the members of the su-
preme court of the United States. In their

LAND. Washington began the prac-
titO in the year that the city was
founded. and it has kept it up
with all its social formalities
from that day to this.
The greatest New Years recep-
ton that the world knows Is held
every year in the White House
with the president and his wife
and the cabinet officers and their
wives in the receiving line. The
guests are n multitude. and they
come dressed in all sorts of raj
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
tation neGress.
The White House. of necessity.
must be democratic. for this is a
democracy, and the same greet
ing is given the workmen that is
given to the ambassador of all
the Russias. There is no more
picturesque affair in the country
than the White House reception
on New Years. Long before the
gates are thrown open the ave-
nues leading to the executive
