puDllCS gave q reception IOr tne HTeSl-
dent and Mrs. Coolidge.
Just as many delightful features as
possible were brought from the other
republics to this, in honor Of the event,
and the music, flowers and viands, as
well as many of the dances, had a
strong flavor of the Latin-American
countries with their warmer climate
and cordial ways. The President and
Mrs. Coolidge received one of the
pretty compliments of the countries,
when on their arrival at the Pan
American Building. Nine. Varela, wife
of the Minister of Uruguay, who is
vice chairman of the governing board,
presented a large cluster OF rare flow
ers to Mrs. Coolidge.
Almost beyond the touch of a paint.
er'S brush and certainly that Of mere
words was the picture of beauty in
the great building. On entering, the
guests faced the patio, with it's foun-
tain playing under soft lights, while
nature gave a sublime touch in the
halfcIouded moon that hung in the
deep blue sky overhead. Adding just
exactly the romantic atmosphere nee
essary were the numbers of the Mi
ramba Orchestra the musicians adapt
ing the program to the scene.
Roses in Profusion.
The white marble interior of the
building was enhanced in beauty by
the lavish use of pink rambler roses
which transformed the otherwise cold
looking ballustrades and pillars into
the effect of a garden. A hedge Of
roses with little opening gates fur
niShed the Enclosure for the entrance
of the President and Mrs. Coolidge and
the higher diplomats, cabinet members
and Supreme Court officials into the
grand corridor of the first floor.
Arches of pink roses were at each end
of the hall of flags. while roses formed
a trellis between the arched doorWayS
and entwined the pillars at the base.
There was very little decoration in
the Hall of the Americas, where the
guests We're received, but the splendor
of the scene in the Aztec garden, at
the rear of the building. beggared
description. The moon swung over
the annex at the far end of the
garden. where, under wiered blue
lighting, the Marine Band played and
the lagoon reflected the varicolored
lights that surrounded it. Two huge
groups of the flags of the American
Republics, with the Stars and Stripes
forming the center of each. were
brought into vivid relief by strong
search lights, and futtering in the
night air they gave a splendid sug-
gestion of the power and unity of the
Republics. Little tables were scatter
ed over the first terrace below the
building and guests took their re-
chill air that blew up from the
Potomac, while others promenaded
around and around the little lake.
President Is Welcomed.
The building was thronged with
guests when, at 10 o'clock. the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Coolidge arrived. Spe-
cial ceremony marked the arrival of
