II was fine that Marshal Jorrr.
Feached here in time to attend the
Feceptton at the White House, for
m opportunity to shake his hand
was z real treat to those who had
met him before. much less to those
who rad never had the g-eat privi-
l"ge. sHe looks different from what
he did when he was here five wears
aS0-hSe years, how time does fly
lie looks younger and stouter. o,
curse he was under a perfectly
irishtfm mental strain when he was
here before: the war was looking
Entirely too favorable for the Ger
mans and he had Just been through
SO much. This is Mime. Joffre's first
visit TO Washington. and she
seemed to be thoroughly enioyine
herself Wednesday evening, though
do think she must have been quite
worn out shaking hands with sew
eral thousand persons. Poo- Mrs.
Harding has received so many peo-
pie lately that she had to use her
left hand before the evening was
iairly started even. don't know
how she stands the strain. And vet
she looked perfectly fine wednes-
day night: better looking than ever
and with another stunning gown.
She has on a different creation
every time and none have been

peacock green" shade. a color !
noticed was very popular there
Wednesday evening. The embroid-
cry on Nine. Joff=e's gown was of
that color; Catherine Hughes had
2 gown OF that shade: Mrs Weeks
Tan was OF that color. and fully a
dozen or more gowns were peacock
green. Laura Harlan had on an
unusually pretty gown that even
ing. black lace and silver -ibbon-
with n few rhinestores.
IL was a pretty compliment,
think. that President and Mr..
Harding paid to the Joffres by re-
cciving them in their private quar-
tcrs upstairs along with the Vice
resident and Mrs. Coolidge and
the members OF the Cabinet circle.
and then to have them stand In
l:Hc to. receive the guests. It Is the
first time I can recall ever OF an
outsider" as 1t were. receiving like
that at a White House state recep-
ton I think It was a lovely idea.
Except for the presence Of the
Iotfres the reception was very much
like all the others. except that
military and naval officers predom-
mated among the guests Many OF
these officers had known Marshal
loffre abroad In the days when they
we're all working tooth and nail"
to defeat the Teuton. Yet wednes-
day evening among the guests

diplomats from the entente nations,
