the Auto Fire Truck

The auto fire truck viii h was lately
bought by the city of Macon has ar
rived, 1t is a Ford chassis with a suit
able body for the hose with room for a
few of the fire boys. The purchase of
this truck is a wise thing. Our volun-
teer fire company have done noble and
valuable work in extinguishing fires
and ever more in combining conflagra-
tons to single buildings. But the
time lost in getting the hose reel to
the scene has hampered them greatly
and resulted in buildings being de-
stroyed which d little earlier arrival of
the company would have saved. The
cost of the truck may and probably
will be saved at one big fire. 1t is
believed that the possession of this
truck will reduce the rete of fire in
surance somewhat.

and the neutrality of the White House
is concerned in having each no less
brilliant, elaborate and attractive
than the other. The neutral diplo-
mats by the fortune of war enjoy two
dinners instead of none at all, as they
would if the world were at peace.
The congressional reception from
point of numbers is the largest event
of the year. It is always "crush."
Every member of congress, any con-
stituents who happen in town, his
clerks and stenegraphers, and many
others not connected with the govern
ment at all are sure to be there. The
guests come in street cars and afoot
as well as in automobile and carriages.
It is the commoners' reception from
every point Of view, but the White
House goes to no less pains with it.
With the diplomatic reception out
OF the way, the army and navy re-
ception becomes the most eol9rful and
lively of all. Officers Of the army,
navy and marine corps in full dress
uniforms respondent with gold braids
and decorations give it an air of bril-
lance that is described as exhilarat-
ing.
The speakers dinner, a compare
lively new institution in White House
social annals, winds up the list and
generally is attended by cabinet mem
bers, leaders in congress and few
others enjoying intimate relations
with the speakers of the house of
representatives.
The elimination of the time hon
ored New Years reception marked
the passing of what actually was a
physical endurance test on the part
of the president. In years gone by
as many as ten thousand persons had
passed through the White House in a
few hours on New Years day to
grasp the presidents hand for a
brief moment. The marine band al
ways played its 1iveliest quick steps
and for four and five hours the line
would pour in one door and out the
other. President Roosevelt and Taft
set some handshal1ing records, meet
ing nine and ten thousand people at
a reception. It is said that one pres
ident, long since dead, solved the
problem by standing in front of vel
vet curtain, through slit in which

cial Washington, the surer one is to
receive invitations to these affairs,
although some of the receptions are
not so Exclusive" as the others. The
congressional reception, for instance,
usually finds the world and his wife
having a good time in the White
House and not always in evening
dress.
In a capital where there are hun
dreds of persons not connected with
the government, but active in social
life, the limit to the number of in
vitation must be gagged by the ca
pacity of the White House itself, if
there were no other reasons. It is
not easy for the social secretary and
the force of clerks who handle the in
vitations to discriminate. Failure to
be invited to at least one reception
may not be fatal to social aspira-
tions, but it is something to be avoid
ed by those who make at least a
pretension to social prominence.
Invitations, if anything, are not so
easy to obtain as they used TO be. A
story told in social circles has it that
at the opening of President Wilson's
term a certain senator of influence
sent to the White House for ten in
vitations issued in blank, in which he
he wished to write the names of con-
stituents to whom he wished to show
some favor. The story has it that
his request was refused with a re-
buke.
!. For some of the White House af-
fairs, demand for invitations has been
so great that almost unheard of sub
terfuges are used to obtain them and
on one occasion watchful door tenders
picked up admission tickets which
proved to be very clever forgeries.
The cabinet dinner which comes
first this year is comparatively
quiet affair, participated in only by
the president and his wife, the cabi-
net members and their wives and pos
sibly half a dozen invited guests. II
takes place in the state dining room
and is elaborate.
The two diplomatic dinners follow

White House Social Season To Be One of Much Briiancy

Washington, Dec. 9.-The program
for the White House winter social
season has been announced and, as
was generally expected, it omits the
colorful diplomatic reception, because
of the war, and also the time-honored
New Years reception for the public,
in accordance with the custom Presi-
dent Wilson set when coming into
office.
In place of the diplomats recep-
ton there will be two diplomatic
dinners. The entente diplomats and
all neutraIs will be entertained at the
first and the Teutonic diplomats and
all neutrals will be guests at the sec
ond.
The embarrassment which would
be caused by inviting the representa-
tives of the warning powers to rub
elbows at the same reception may be
more imaginary than actual, but they
are regarded by the social managers
as having impossibilities, notwith-
standing that it is said the ambassa-
dor from one of the principal entente
allies and the ambassador from one
of the principal Teutonic powers al
ways exchange courteous greetings
when they pass on the street. How
ever, the program has been arranged
to keep the warning diplomats apart.
The social events all come on Tues
days instead of Thursdays, as for
merly, the season begins earlier and
ends in February instead of March,
probably due to the fact that the
White House wants it over by inaugu-
ration time.
This is the program as officially
announced:
Dec. 12--Cabinet dinner, 8. p. m.
Dec. 19-Judicial reception, 8 p.
m.

Feb. 13-Speakers dinner, p. m.
Before the war the diplomatic re-
ception was the social show of the
winter. Invitations were sought so
eagerly by those who were not quite
sure to be invited that the president
set the rule of placing an arbitrary
limit on the number, outside of the
diplomatic corps, who were to be in
vited without his personal approval.
In form the reception differed little
from those to congress, the army or
navy, or the judiciary. In fact it had
distinctly different atmosphere. Fhe
brilliant uniforms of the diplomats
and their aides, the distinctly for
eign manners of many, and the cere-
mony with which custom surrounds
diplomat when he is out in full
dress uniform made the reception dis
tinctive from the others.
In general way, all the receptions
are conducted alike. A few special
guests are permitted to enter the
main door of the executive mansion,
but most enter at the east entrance
and after leaving outer garments in
the lower corridors of the White
House form in long lines leading UP
the marble staircase to the first floor
and into the Blue Room where the
President and Mrs. Wilson, aided by
members of the cabinet and their
wives with army and navy aides in
full dress, receive them.
The introductions are made by an
aide; "a brief word of greeting is
spoken, followed by hasty handclasp
and the guest passes along to the end
Of the receiving line to spend the re-
mainder of the evening moving about
or chatting with friends in the crowd.
Even to personal friends the Presi-
dent or his wife cannot say more than
a word because to each of the re-
ceptSns come between 1 500 and 1000
persons and things have to move on
time In the state dining room the
guests usually find buffet luncheon
and in opposite ends of the main cor
rider two sections of the marine band
play almost continuously.
