A more fitting setting for this
Kaleidoscope picture of splendor than
the Presidents house scarcely could
be found and last night the mansion
was at its best. The exquisite crystal
chandeliers blazing in light dropped
an enhancing glow over all and with
the profusion of fragrant blossoms
arranged so artistically and yet so
simply about the state rooms. it was
as though a scene from the storybook
fairyland was being presented.
Floral Decorations
Showed Much Thought.
Much thought is given the place
ment of the flowers in the White
House, and last night Mr.. William
Reeves who is in charge of this task
did himself proud. In the east room
the huge vases were filled with SAL
mon-pink chrysanthemums and the

rangements for the reception from
other years in this administration
The diplomats and their wives formed
in line in the east room according to
precedence and were the first to pass
the hosts. Then followed the other
guests representative of official and
residential circles. The orchestra
played lively selections throughout
the reception and later for the dane
Ing in the east room. Like all state
receptions there was no delay in the
line passing. no confusion whatsoever,
and much of the credit for the smooth
running of these huge functions IS
due to the chief usher, Mr.. Raymond
Muir, and his capable assistants, Mr..
Howell G. Grim and Mr.. Wilson
Searles.
Coupled with the ceremony which
naturally must prevail at an official

pleasant informality which is charac-

nervous. I guess. Man! What = mess
Of ducks in that flock
They reloaded and headed the boat
downstream. They moved slowly,
now and then exchanging word.
Neither by tone nor expression did
they bertay anything but satisfaction,
wonder and contentment.
Suddenly, just before rounding a
sharp bend. the man in the bow held
up his hand. His companion stopped
padding and listened. Ahead they
heard fluttering of wings.
MAINTAINING calmness by great
effort the hunters picked up
their guns and allowed the boat to
drift around the bend. Abruptly 4
lone duck darted from the marshes,
directly in front of them. Both
men threw up their guns and fired
together.
The lone ducks fight was inter-
rupted He came tumbling earth

simultaneously the gunners set up
a shout of triumph. Padding furi-
ously they drove the boat around the
bend, Climbed out at the spot where
their game lay and began to beat
about the marsh grass. 1t was un-
pleasant work. There were bog holes
to fall into and briers to tear cloth

came running up to examine the

reached their mark. The thing was
not much more than a straggly mass
OF feathers and flesh.

They scrambled back to the boat.

scratched and cut. Reverently thev
deposited the lone duck under one
OF the seats and set off. Frequently
as they continued their homeward
voyage they looked at each other
happily and spoke often of their great |
success. Their faces were exuberant:
their attitudes triumphant.
