: Great Pleasure-Other
Events.

ings. aid by many persons considered
the most important event Of the winter
schedule. IT marked a most pleasing oc-
currence also. since Mrs. Taft not only
remained beside her husband during the
entire evening. but shook hands with all
the guests, a custom which has not been
followed since Mrs. Cleveland. young and
strong. was the mistress of the Presi-
dents nome. Mrs. Taft carried Il lovely
subterfuge against the possible fatigue Of
hands aking-a bouquet of roses-out en-
tirely disregarded the caution that the
posies conveyed. Mrs. Sherman, Mrs.
NIacVeagh, Mrs. Wickersham. Mrs. Dick
inson and Mrs. Ra,linger were also in
the receiving line. Each had a bouquet.
but everybody passing before them who
| offered hand had the pleasure OF
a return shake. The incident may seem
small in recounting it. but it had lots to
do with the general pleasure and the en-
thusiaetic enjoyment of those in attend
ance.

strangers within the citys gates. the
governors OF many states. etc. legal luml-
naries of the capital and other cities. and
a brilliant representation of professional
skill in the sciences, etc, made the gath
erng a most interesting one, from a
brainy standpoint: There were few uni
formed men, outside of the military and
naval aids to the President. and no Dip
lomats as the corps refrained from social
life until after the funeral of the Brazil
ian ambassador today.

east room from till half-oast was

line received accessions from the east
room until close to II 30 About 10
o'clock the doors of the state dining room
