and slush were In the streets and a
chilly, misty rain made travelling de-
cidedly uncomfortable, and withal it is
said there were more persons who kept
open house" then than who did the
previous year. President Arthur re-
ceived with Mrs. Carlisle, wife of the
Speaker of the House Of Representa-
tives, John G. Carlisle, at his right,
she being dressed in a robe of rich
lavender satin fiowered in white, with
tablier Of white satin, embroidered
in seed pearls and raised chenille
flowers.
At this reception Mrs. Lincoln, wife
of Robert T. Lincoln, son of the mar
tyred President, wore black and white
brocaded velvet, with tablier OF white
satin, with founces of black Brussels
lace. Mrs. Brewster wife of his Attor-
ney General, was dressed in superb bro
cade, with rare lace, and brilliant dia-
monds Mrs. Teller wore garnet velvet,
with point lace and diamonds. The wife
of Walter @. Gresham, who later be-
came Cleveland's Secretary Of State,
wore black velvet with white satin front.
Army and Navy Guests
1t Is interesting to read over the list OF
prominent Army and Navy officers pres
ent on this occasion. Few Of them are
still living and no doubt the reader will
recall some of them at least with much
pleasure. Judge Holt and Gen. Mckee
Dunn, who served as Judge advocate
generals Of the Army, were there, as
were the aids of the lieutenant general,
Col. M. v. Sheridan, Col. volkmar and
Capt. Gregory; Adjt. Gen. Drum, Gen.
NJ S. Keever, Gen. Ruggles, Col. Benja-
min, Col Barber, Gen. Feely and Gen.
Van Vliet. In the Medical Corps were
Surg. Gen. Murry, DR.. Baxter and DR..
Basil Norris.
Among the engineer officers were Capt.
T. l.. Casey, Gen. Parke, Gen. Poe, Col.
Wilson, Maj Hams, Capt. Hoxie and
Capt. Mills.
Woodrow Wilson did not have a re-
ception the last New Year day he was
President, because Of his illness, but his
successor, Warren G. Harding, held one
on January 2, 1922, even though 1t was
very cold day. The public reception
for the following year was called of
on account of the illness Of Mrs. Hard
ing.
In 1927 the temperature went as low
as 80 degrees above zero, but this did
not prevent the Oldest Inhabitants from
turning out with three of its most vener-
able members: Judge Charles S. Bundy,
then s5; Maj. Willard S. Saxton, 90,
and James T. Petty. Maj Saxton lived
to be almost 104 years of age.
Mr. Coolidge held his first New Year
reception on January /, 1924, and Mr..
Hoover concluded his on January l,
1888. Mr.. Harding shook hands with
about the largest crowd on January 2,
1922, when he greeted 6,57s persons.
Upon this occasion, January !, occurred
on Sunday. President Franklin D.
Roosevelt held no public receptions dur
ing his administrations.

a charming and lively scene of this
national festival.
Temporary. tents and booths were
scattered over the surface for the ac-
commodation Of the gay crowds, who
here amused themselves and from
whence there was a good view of the
troops as they marched in front of
the Presidents house, and the President,
the heads of departments and the for
eign ministers who stood around him
on the high steps Of the house, re-
ceiving and returning their salutations
as they passed in review. Mr.. JET
fersons tall figure and gray locks wav-
ing in the air (for he always on these
occasions stood with uncovered head
were easily distinguished among the
other official personages who sur
rounded him."
The | ,440-Pound Cheese
Toward the close of President Jack
sons administration some of his ad-
mlrerS felt that he should be remem-
bered as generously as Jefferson had
been and started a cheese campaign in
the rural district of New York, which
resulted in "Old Hickory" being pre-
sented viii a cheese weighing 1,400
pounds. Cr its way here, it was ex-
hibited in New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore and was for awhile displayed
in the vestibule of the White House.
1t was finally decided to serve it to
the public on Washington's birthday,
1887, and those attending the reception
not only partook Of it freely but also
took away with them large chunks for
subsequent consumption. Unfortunate
ly, the carpets were almost ruined with
the cheese that was dropped on the
floor and trampled under foot, and for
months the smell of cheese was promi-
nently detected all over the house.
President Monroe's New Year recep-
ton, held January /, 1925, was an
unusually brilliant one, since it was
attended by the Marquis de Lafayette
and his son, George Washington Lafay-
cite, then visiting this country and for
the time being staying in this city.
Naturally there was very large

An Oldtime Reception

like some six years and more ago,
can'be judged from President Arthur's
reception at the White House on Janu-

office over to President Cleveland. Mud

most recent conqueror of these strategic
islands that straddle the sea lanes
between the main body of the Medi-
terranean and the Black Sea. Other
owners of all or various islands of the
group have been ancient Greece, Rome,
the city-states of Venice and Genoa.
the Knights of Rhodes and Turkey.
Just as the islands have had many
masters, so they have had many names,
both individually and collectively. The
name Dodecanese is a misleading one,
geographically, historically and nu-
merically. Turkey and Greece have at
various times applied this name to
islands, some within and some with
out the limits of the area so-called
today. The islands of Rhodes, Coo
Cos, and Lisso, members of the pre-
war political unit set up by Italy, were
never before in history considered part
OF the Dodecanese. And finally the word
Dodecanese, derived from the Greek,
means dozen, while there are today
IA islands in the enlarged cluster.
Greek, Turkish and italian names for
individual islands appear on some maps.
Many recent charts designate the Dode-
canese the italian Islands of the
Aegean" and use Italian spellings be-
cause Italy, as the ruling power, es-
tahlished the official nomenclature.
However, historic Greek names show
through this modern veneer.
Turkey conquered the islands in 1923
and they were under Turkish rule with
a few minor breaks, until 1912. History
shows that the region developed under
the influence of Greek civilization. In
modern as well as in ancient times the
islanders, for the most part, have been
Of Greek blood, and the Greek language
has predominated.
The IA main islands are, in order of
their size: Rhodes, Scarpanto (Carpa-
thos), Coo (Cos), Calino, Stampalia,
Lero, Case, SINH, Piscopi, Patmo, Nisiro
Calchi, Lisso and Castelrosso.
