 It is also probable that a series of musicals and informal tea parties will be given at the White House, though they are not on the calendar either.
 Only the dates of the state func- tions were announced and perhaps the one of the widest interest is the New Years reception, when anyone without an invitation and regardless of class, can go to the executive man sion and shake the President and the First Lady of the Land by the hand and rub elbows with the highest.
