Washington. Jan. 1.-The event
which, from almost the first days OF
the republic has distinguished the eel
ebration OF The advent OF the New
Year in Washington, the Presidents
reception at tho White House. took on
a new interest today as the first pub
lie reception planned for tho admin
istration of Mr.. TAFT.
On New Years day the White House
doors swing open to all the world and.
during the appointed hours OF the re-
ception of citizens. the poor and hum
bio pass in review and receive the
clasp OF the chief executive on equal
footing with the richest OF the COM
munity.
The public reception, of course, al
WAYS is preceded by an hour or more
of formality when the President gTeetS
the members of the cabinet, the dip
lomats, the senators and representa-
tives. the high officials Of the govern
ment, the officers of the army and
navy and members OF tho various civic
organizations who pass through the
famed blueroom at hours especially
set apart for them
Some idea OF the magnitude to
which the New Years reception at
the White House has grown, may be
had from the fact that President
Roosevelt, during the last two or three
years of his term, attained a high wat
ermark OF shaking hands with more
than 5000 men and women
The early period OF the reception
was made gay and impressive as us
ual today by the presence of the dip
lomats In the full dress uniforms OF
their rank and distinction In the
countries from which they are accred-
tied There were many new faces in
The diplomatic line, which was head
ed by Baron DesPlanches. the Italian
ambassador, dean of the corps In
Washington.
The introductions were made by
Colonel Spencer Crosby of the army,
major domo of the White House. as
sisted by Captain Butts, Lieutenant
Commander Palmer and others.
Mrs. Taft joined the receiving par
~ during the early part of the recep-
ton. She remained In line until the
cabinet. Che supreme court and the
diplomatic corps had paid their re-
spects and then retired. leaving the
remaining women of the official par
ty TO do the honors.
AS usual. the public was in evidence
early 1t being the Presidents first
new year reception, there was great
pressure for the honor of wishing him
the compliments of the season. The
citizen" contingent was made up
largely of Washington people. The
time for their reception had been
fixed at / o'clock, but three hours
earlier the crowds began to gather
and by II o'clock tho line stretched
for blocks. extending boyond the
state. war and navy department build
ings and down Seventeenth street
