STARTLING CLOSE TO A BRELLIANT SCENE, SUDDEN DEATH OF THE HAWAIIAN MINISTER. The new year found suoha wealth of radiant sunshine left over in its fntgrehouse of the old year that It shed Its goldem@glories over palace and hovel to-day. The White House, in its array of beautiful dressing, and peopled with so many dis- Unguished forms, never looked to happler pur- pose. The preparations began early for the re- ception of guests, and were carried out system- atically. A special lst of nated guests viewed the entrance of tbe diplomatic qorps in the main yes- tibuie. The daylight was allowed to stream through, and therich tintsof the stained glass partition shone out in fine effect. THE FLORAL DEGORATICNS were meager, but in good taste, Tne Blue Room held least, but the mantels were adorned by a few rare plants, and tiny strands of smilax were sus- pended among the branchesof the main candel- abra. as gue: The Red Room received many compliments passed through. On the smail table be- fore the tull length portrait of President Arthur were several tall white Ufes. The corners of the Green Room were ‘filed with palms and tall ferns, im beautiful contrast to the pale Unts of ‘the — surroundings. The mantels of the East room held no blooming Plants, but effective backgrounds of massed ferns, all the’ plants in covered glif and slivered wicker— work jars, The daylight came In through the lon, wicdows and quite outshone the gas. The mat corridor massed against the ch gilded niche was a sing! The good effect of these rich green plants was in ined bunciiy pi a towering groups of Tich «een plants lass partition, and ta alm of fern, entire harmony with the decorative plan, and elicited its meed of praise. In the intervals between the receptions conver- sation in the Ited parlor, thé President's “living Toon,” us it 1s beginning to Be called, became gen- era |, and all the scenes of a private party tn their exchange of happy greeting® and small talk were rehearsed, AD exit for thediplomatic corps and other invited guests was arranged through the windows of the Red parlor te the south balconies, so as to avold the crush about the main entrance. ‘The house, owin to the mild temperature, be- came warmer than is usual, but the slight {ncon- yenlence was overcome by short promenades along the corridors. The guests Itngered a in the East room, and many prominent informal receptions there. ~~ INVITATIONS TO THE DIPLOMATIC CORPS. The invitations by the Statedepartment for to- day were in manuscript, on large oficial paper, and read as follows: The Secretary of Stuto to inform bin th: short while ladies held presents his compliments to ——— ——, and has the honor at the President will reocive the mem- bers of the Diplomatic Corps, op Monday next, the ist proximo, at eleven o'clock &.m.
