One little girl was the longest caller,
in point Of time, that the President and
Mrs. Taft had. The little girl wished
the President to shake hands with her

pleased the President and Mrs. Taft
that they kept her in front OF them

put In leash and returned to the second
floor OF the White House.
The reception, besides being the larg-
est In four years. was as brilliant an
event as the White House has known
on New Year Day in a long time. Prior
to the reception of the general public
the various dignitaries, officials and big
wigs of the National Capital had called
TO pay their respects to the first citizen
OF Washington and America.
Some callers minds went back yester-
day to the farewell New Year recep-
tions held by Roosevelt and Cleveland,
President Mckinley. of course, having
held no last reception Intended as
such. 1t was recalled that a shade OF
gravity and seriousness marked the last
time President Cleveland received the
public throng. Probably because it was
strongly conscious to all that II was
''the last. and POSSIBLY also because the
last Democrat in the White House,
prior to March 4, 1913, was engaged in
bitter struggle with Congress and
prosperity did not rule the land as now.
But President Taft's final public re-
ception was not marked nor marred by
any hint OF depression from vain re-
grets, and the President seemed the
most jovial dignitary at the White
House.
