Spectacular in a display of mag
nificent gowns and handsome uni
forms, the White House promises a
most glittering assemblage tonight
when the President and Mrs. Wilson
will hold a reception for army and
navy officers Shimmering braid,
sparkling medals and clanking swords
will predominant
The army and navy reception al
ways is welcomed as the most colorfuI
event in White House circles. 1t has
been anticipated by scores of requests
for invitations from the young ladies
of Washington who are anxious to see
and meet Uncle Sans handsome land
and sea officers. For weeks the White
House clerks have been besieged from
all sources to use their best efforts to-
ward invitations for the event.
But these beSeechingS have proved
futile since the first reception held
this winter. Fairly overwhelmed by
the crowd which swept into the White
House at the Pan-American reception,
the President and Mrs. Wilson de-
cided to do much of their own select
ing of guests. The presidents aides
having protested that they were con-
siderab1y embarrassed when promi-
nent persons requested invitations
The president promptly said he would
relieve them. Hence all invitations
now pass an executive board of cen
sorship, to wit, that of the president
and his bride.
AS a result the reception tonight
promises to be more or less exclusive.
There will be the army and navy
hosts in large numbers, some favored
congressman and the elite of Wash
ington's society, together with a few
hundred perhaps not so elite"
The President and Mrs. Wilson will
be assisted in the receiving line by the
wives of cabinet officers. Incident
ally it will be the first official appear
