RECEPTION AT WHITE HOUSE
brilliant Event Given by President in
Honor of Diplomatic COINS

brilliant Event Given by President In
Honor OF Diplomatic Corps.
WASHINGTON, January 4.-The first
and probably the most brilliant of the
formal state receptions planned for the
present White House season, was given
tonight by the President and Mrs.
Taft In honor of the diplomatic corps
Some 1.500 guests in all were invited.
Mrs. Taft was present.
To-night's reception marked quite a
radical change in the manner of con-
Quoting the great State affairs at the
White House. and for the first time in
many administrations refreshments
were served. The Blue Room Circle"
which flourished during the Roosevelt
administrations, when selected coterie
of social friends were invited "behind
the line" was entirely done away
with.
The number of invitations issued to
each Of the big receptions has been
materially reduced by Mrs. Taft, whose
idea is said to be that every guest pro-
sent should feel himself or herself the
personal guest Of the President and
his wife, and all should be treated
alike
In the receiving line were only the
Vice President and Mrs Sherman, the
members Of the Cabinet and the wo-
men OF their households.
M The guests assembled In the famed
East Room. The diplomats. in resplen-
dent uniforms and accompanied by
their suites. gave the reception the
color and brllliancy Of court func-
tion. The refreshments. served in the
state dining-room. consisted of cream
ed oysters. salads, ices and champagne
