pRESIDENT AND MRS. HARD.
ING who always have a friend
~ greeting for their guests were
particularly cordial last night since
they were personally acquainted
with many of the legislators and
were constantly greeting old friends
in the line. Indeed the friendly re-
lations between President Harding
and Congress were continually en-
phasiZed through the evening.
The Belgian Ambassador Baron
de Cartier was the first diplomat to
go down the line following hard
upon the heels of the Speaker and
Mrs. Gillett. lie was accompanied
by Miss Betty Connolly niece of
Baroness de Cartier. Tie French
were present and other diplomatic
guests were the Russian am
bassador. M. BaEhmeteff. and
his sister, Nine, Bazavoff. the
Serbian Minister and Nine.

Minister OF Bolivia and Nine. Bal

Lefevre. charge d'affaircs of Pan
anna, and 10 sister, Miss Ramona
Ltfevre.
For the Congressional guests,
who assembled first in the State
Dining Room, special cloak rooms
were improved from the ushers'
office and the little breakfast
room; and careful arrangements
were made to prevent the CrowdinS
which has often married the Con.
gressional Reception. The guests
from the East Room made their
way across the hallway, through
the dining room and the Red
Room, to the historic Blue Room;
and each of the State drawing
rooms was lavishly decorated with
flowers. Spring blossoms pTedomi.
mated, pussy willow. pink and
white azelias and primroses being
used in great profusion in addi-
ton to the more conventional
roses. The Marine Band, its pro-
gram carefully selected, played
until midnight.
THERE was a certain catholicity
about the costuming, but
many of the gowns were notice
ably lovely. Mrs. Weeks had on
a purple costume which looked
as though the material might
have been cut from the same
piece as Mrs. Gillett's. Mrs.

black tulle. Mrs. Fall and Mrs.

latter wearing a jetted gown: and

tulle and Mrs. William NJ. Calder
presented a charming picture with
her snowy hair in striking con
trast to her black gown. 1t

trimmed with strings of pearls.
Miss Louisa Hoar, daughter of
Mrs. Gillett. wore an American
Beauty velvet frock, with long
side panels. and had a wreath OF
autumn leaves in her hair. Her
only ornament was a long string
of amber beads finished with a
tassel which fell to her knees.
