turn to Washington until January 8,
four days before the date OF the recep-
ton; but the invitations to the United
States and American delegates
and their families will have been is
sued in the meantime and elaborate
preparations initiated.
Besides being the initial number on
the White House calendar of Social
functions for the winter, the event in
honor of the delegates will be the
first "Pan-American Reception" ever
held In the executive mansion. In
times past the White House winter pro-
gram usually started with New
Years reception to which the general
public was invited, this being follow
ed at intervals by the annual diplo-
matte corps reception, the congress
icnal, the Army and Navy and the judi
c;al reception. Inasmuch as there will
be no New Years reception this season
the public will not have an oppor-
tunity to shake the hand of the presi
dents bride; but Washington society
is interested by the prospect of seeing
her soon for the first time standing at
the presidents life side and heading
