What happened at the White

ly similar to formal functions
in the royal courts of Europe,
though perhaps five times more
crowded. A Capital official who
recently dined at the White

he was amazed at the similar

had expected but he hadn't
thought of a democracy hew-

the gowns of the ladies were

The few members of the Cabi-
