rotary OF the Treasury. Mrs. New,
wife of the Postmaster General was
also present without her husband,
and came in on the arm Of Attorney
General Sargent. Doctor Work,
Secretary Of the Interior, who is
usually among the lone wolves of
the Cabinet group, was accompanied
this time by his daughter, Mrs. A.
w. Bissell, who has come from her
home in Evanston, ILL.,, to be his
guest for a while, and to be hostess
at the dinner he is giving next week
in honor of President and Mrs.
Coolidge.
The Secretary to The President
and Mrs. Everett Sanders brought
up the rear of the Presidential
procession they are in this
line but last time they were miss
ing. The Vice President and Mrs.
Dawes, of course, followed in the
wake Of The President.
Mrs. Coolidge was very lovely in
a costume Of rose velvet fashioned
with deep v.shaped decoltage filled
in with point-lace. A train fell from
the shoulders, following the v-line
in the back to the waist and then
falling free in a pointed train at
one side. A garland Of roses Of
the same velvet outlined one
shoulder. AS has been her custom
this season. she carried square
flat bag of brilliants instead of
flowers.
The same style of coiffure-mar-
celled loosely and piled rather high
in front-that was noted for the
first time at the reception for the
Judiciary, was in evidence again
last evening in the First Lady's
headdress.
Mrs. Dwight Davis Smart
Quite the smartest costume seCn
last evening. however, was that
worn by Mrs. Dwight Davis. wife Of
the Secretary Of War. 1t was a
strikingly stylish robe-de.style in
black taffeta with silver threads
embroidered on the bouffant skirt
The top Of the square-cut close
fitting bodice was of flesh-tinted
chiffon. With this she wore long
black kid gloves, which gave the
appearance when Mrs. Davis was
standing, of being in line with the
low-cut bodice Of black. The whole
effect was stunning!
Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Longworth
soon slipped away into corner Of
the Red Room-quite alone-and
seated, engaged for several minutes
in animated conversation. When
they separated Mrs. Longworth's
companions were chiefly men Of
distinction.
"Pink Trying to be Purple"
Speaker and Mrs. Longworth
were the first to greet the hosts.
The Speakers wife wore a brocade
gown-she always affects brocades-
OF dull gold patterned in mauve,
the color aptly described as pink
trying to be purple It was draped
in a one sided mode, with a long
scarf like drapery of the brocade
falling in deep folds from one
shoulder. Mrs, Theodore Roosevelt,
jr., who was with the Longworths,
was given a right royal reception
by many old friends.
Mrs. RooseVelt's youthful slimness
looked charming in a simple gown Of
bronze lace over pink foundation.

There was a little old lady clad
in the costume of a Salvation lass.
And a large representation Of the
Army and Navy-in their best uni

with the Mexican government.
Negotiations are under way. he
said, with the attorney general of
Mexico for the dismissal Of the case
against one of the church's most
valuable schools at Piedras Negras,
a border CITY just across from Ell
Paso. Tex, in the state of Coahuila.
The school was not allowed to open
last September. the bishop pointed
out, following the announcement alleg-
ing that it was an institution for
propaganda Of a religious cult.
Charges Called Groundless.
While the head of the school was
a Methodist preacher, the charges
were groundless, Bishop Beauchamp
said, as the institution was operated
exclusively as school, Another
case against the NJ E. Church, South.
pending in the legal department at
Mexico City, is that of the denounce-
ment within the last fortnight of the
churches agricultural school at Monte

The school, howeve, was not closed
the bishop said. The announcement
OF this school was based on the
agrarian law forbidding any foreigner
owning land in Mexico and Bishop
Beauchamp Immediately ordered the
church's attorney in Mexico to reg.
lister the property with the Mexican
government
The whole future, so far as It re.
lates to foreign properties in Mexico,
is an uncertainty" Bishop Beauchamp
said. I'm attempting to control the
great school properties of the Roman
catholic Church and the great oil
and mineral holdings of foreigners.
some very radical laws have been

OF nationalism and the determination
or the Mexicans to control their own

Want Larger Share.
I'm regard to foreign properties,
their viewpoint is that the Mexica n
government is not receiving a lust
proportion of the wealth being realized
from the large foreign oil and mineraI
industries located there.
Il think the Mexican government
is correct in so far as it has a right to
IKE its own standards and methods
OF education. and that all foreigners
should conform, and at the same time
every government must recognize
property rights. That is where the
serious issue is involved in Mexico
today"

CHURCH BUILDING SEIZED.
State Department Doubts Possibility
of Action.

By the Associated Press.
State Department officials have
been advised of the seizure by the
Mexican government of a building
owned by an American Protestant
church, but they are of the opinion
that nothing in a diplomatic way can
be done about it. for the present at
least.
The building, property of the
Methodist Episcopal Missions of the
South, is at Piedras NegraS, Coahuila,
and was closed last February under
the law forbidding foreigners to teach
religion.
Notification of the seizure was
printed in FL Diario Official, the ga
zette of the Mexican government, a
copy of which has been received here.
While the State Department is fol
lowing developments. 1t has been I'M
able to make diplomatic representa-.
lions to Mexico. as the case is still
pending in Mexican courts. 1t is
pointed out at the department that
bntil every judicial recourse is ex-
nausted there can be no diplomatic
appeal.

Waiting to say. Happy New Year,
Mister President"
Personages and just plain persons
were in the line yesterday which
snaked from in front of the State De
partment around the curving drive
in the White House lawn to the
portals of the mansion itself.
Government clerks were there
eager to perform the annual rite of
greeting the Chief Executive. Bank
ers, brokers and men of affairs filled
out the ranks of boys and girls, men
and women, white and colored, con
stituting a long line which formed
a living symbol of American democ.
racy.
Small boys with hero-worshiping
eyes pressed close to older boys with
CRAVING hair and hero-worshiping
souls. Grave old men were in line
oldsters who have visited the White
House year after year on New Year
day, citizens sincerely anxious to wish
their President we'll during the days
TO come.
It was a good-natured line with an
undertone of seriousness. There was
some curiosity. but very little levity.
From a distance the buzz of quiet
conversations merged into a hum, and
and gray and black coats of the men
merged into a long, colorful cater
pillar.
Ladies' Talk 1t Over.
Said the lady in front to the lady
in back: II know one of the guides
here; 1 don't know whether he will
be here today, but 1 think he will"
Said the lady in back to the lady
in front: Mrs. Coolidge is so sweet:
I've always been crazy to shake hands
with her"
And SO ran the conversational re-
frain. Everybody wanted to shake
hands with the President, but the
name of Mrs. Coolidge was frequently
mentioned, an unconscious tribute to
q gracious personality.
Moving along in the line was like
mingling in the stream of everyday
folk who make up the life of the coun-
try.
Two abreast the line streamed be.
tween the White House gates.
Wen be there soon now" quoth
the lady in front.
II wonder If he'll smile," said the
lady in back.
Two ranks to the front a young man
pressed the arm of his pretty COM
panion.
I'm bet you get SMILE" he muir
INJURED.
I'll bet I do, too" she said. In
cidentally, she did. Blue eyes and a
roguish mouth are apt to win a smile
from most anybody, even busy Presi-
dents.
Betty Is Well Coached.
A few ranks behind a mother was
busy coaching her four.year-old.
Now, remember to say, Happy
New Year, Betty" Short, black
curls nodded solemnIy. Big eyes
grew wider. Quite an event for a
four.year-old, going to meet the
President
Two old ladies, Government clerks,
walked side by side. They were
dressed in garments of a cut which
designated the mode of several New
Years ago and their conversation,
caught in fragments, dealt with past
glories.
~ remember when we drove to the
White House in our carriage" said
one.
''Once at the McKinley's reception
-" remarked her companion, but
the rest of the remembrance was lost,
caught UP in the, general flow of con.
versation that coursed along the
stream of citizenry.
Some tourists not so far ahead were
talking of letters to the folks back
home.
