Army and Neys Reception
With Mrs Taft dancing as we'll as
she president and both enjoying a
company gathered 10 honor the army
and navy, among which they re-
cDgnized more faces than perhaps at
any Of the earlier receptions Of the
winter, the last Of the state functions
III he Taft Administer ton had a bril-
liant and pieasurable close Tuesday
night There was no note Of sadness
about IL. The invitations for the
event evidently reached the right
persons. for the percentage of men
not wearing uniforms was exceeding
III small. The throng of guests was
large, so large. indeed. as TO make
anything like moving about a diff
multi matter, with the result that a
large part OF the guests remained
where they found themselves after
the formal part OF the evenings
pleasure was over, then crossing from
the east room to the blue parlor to
be received by the president. Many
added 10 this visit To the state din
ing room, where the hospitality of
the presidents home was again In
evidence by "a we'll supplied refresh
inent table and conveniently placed
cool drinks
Dancing was tfae result of extreme
nicety In floor calculation space.
Nobody was in a hurry 10 go home,
and consequently nearly all who had
entered the house at 10 o'clock were
still there at I. Yet around that hour
the Marine band moved over TO the
Gast room and began it's program of
dance music. One result OF the
Taft administration. if White House
dancing is to be continued. will be
the necessity of real ballroom ad-
tlition.
Mas. Taft's partner for the first
dance was Lieutnant Commander
Tammons. and for the second Lieu
tenant Edwin st. John Grebel, another
White House aid.
Among the noted was Mrs. william
tsraeme Harvey. formerly Of Rich
mnnd, in q gown OF nellrose silk veil
ed in black beaded net.
