vate dining room at the Capitol.
Mrs. Daniels was in the Senate gall
lery as the address was read, and Mrs.
Burleson and Miss Sidney Burleson
took a lowly seat on the steps, the

fore they arrived. Secretary Redfield

Diplomatic Gallery FILLED.
The diplomatic gallery was filed
with a purely masculine crowd. It is
small, and 1t was limited for this occa-
sion to the heads of missions. So that
when Mime. Grouitch arrived with her
husband and took her place there quite
as matter OF course she was invited
soon to vacate and a place was found
for her elsewhere.
Senior Riano, the Spanish Anbassa-

Of the French Embassy; and DR.. Con-

Grouitch OF Serbia Mr.. lie Fevre Of
Panama, Dr. Rojo, counsellor and
Charge for Mexico: and our own Am

Embassy, and a number of others.

time to listen to them.
They were. quartered at the la
fayette. and seemed perfectly content.
Ihey were taken around In motors to
see the usual sights, and of course
were taken down to Mount Vernon
and allowed to place the usual wreath

All this of course after they had
seen the President and given him their
compliments on the winning of the
