The reception moved off with al- most clocklik regularit keeping closely to the offi 1 ‘hedule, the Ambassadors and Ministers and their ctive staffs, with the ladie: n(‘{ families, lending a particularly | brilliant atmosphere to the reception. Of all the Ambassadors present, M Jusserand had most frequently flr»] tended such a formality, having pre- | nted his credentials February 7,| 1903. The Minister of Portugal, Vi count d'Alte, a stately and imposing | figure, led the diplomats with the rank of Minister, having a longer service in the corps in Washington than ¢ven M. Jusserand, having ar-| rived here a vear earlier. The Minister of Denmark, Mr. ('v:.ln»l stantine Brun, always recognized as| one of the most distinguished diplo- | mats and figures in the corps, and who arrived here earlier than Vis count dAlte, but returned to his coun- | try for a year or two of rest, out- ranks all other ministers in time of | service here. The French, Itallan, Japanese and British embassles have the largest staffs, and today it was particularly noticeable that the entire corps has almost doubled in size since the World War, there being nearly 400 members of the body, {ncluding the ladies of embassies and legations. Costumes of Women. ! Miss Afisa Melon, daughter of the Secretary of the Treasury, wore a long black velvet tunic made over cloth of Iver, with a close-fitting black velvet hat trimmed with silver. Mrs. New, wife of the Postmaster General, was in a costume of cinnamon brown vel- vet, trimmed wlith black fox fur, and a small black velvet hat., Mrs. Wilbur, wife of the Secretary of the Navy wore embroidered green roshana crepe, trimmed with black fur, and a small black fur hat. Mrs. Hoover, wife of the Secretary of Commerce, was in soft color silk, caught near the hem with coral and gold, and wore a small black bat trimmed with coral color feathers. Mrs. Davis, wife of the Secretary of Labor, wore sapphire blue cut velvet, trimmed with squirrel fur, and a hat to match. Mrs, Frank W. Stearns was in a gown of black velvet, the side panels having deep bands of black fur and the neck finished in the back with Mme. Jusserand, wife of the Am- bassador of France, was in a hand- some costume of black velvet trim- med with black fur; Mme. Bryn, wife of the Minister of Norway, was in a | gown of taupe, with a small hat to mateh; Mme. Wallenberg, wife of the Minister of Sweden, wore red crepe embroldered in fine gold threads, with a deep band of black at the bottom of the straight skirt and a small black | hat; Countess Szecheny!, wife of the Minlster of Hungary, was also in black, and Frau von Lewinskl, wife of the counselor of the German embassy, had a gown of hellotrope velvet, with a hat to match, trimmed with ostrich feathers of a deeper shade. Following the diplomats came Chief Justice Taft, and the associate jus- tices of the United States Supreme Court_and members of their familles; the Chief Justice and Associate Jus- tices of the Supreme Court of the District; the presiding justice and as- | soclate justices of the Court of Cus- toms Appeals: the chief justice and assoclate justices of the Court of Ap- peals of the District of Columbia; the clief justice and associate justices of tre Court of Claims, and high court Following them were Senators, Rep- resentatives and delegates to the Na- tional Congress, the librarian of Con- gress and high officers of the Senate and House. Then came the ranking officers of the Army and Navy and Marlne Corps, staff of the command- ing general of the District of Co- lumbia Militia, Coast Guard, Public Health Service and the Coast and Geodetic Survey. In this colorful group were only officers above rank of lieutenant colonel and commander. Nex: to be received by the Presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge were the chief executive assistants of the mem- bers of the cabinets, the regents and secretary of the Smithsonian Institu- tion, civil service commissioners, in- terstate commerce commissioners, members of the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal trade commis- comes the silver an- | | next door with is celebrating his | | the | the several departments and the pres- | been reached. | Veterans of the War of 1846-47, Mili | ganizations and the public in general. | eneral THE EVENING MR. 20th CENTURY, 25 YEARS OLD, RECALLS A LOT OF THINGS TODAY Right in Prime of His Youth He Looks Back on Some Scars, Many Laughs and a Whole Book of Progress. talked for days of a record-breaking trip when a few hours were clipped from the previous record.

Crowds Brave Cold. Before 11 o'clock, or more than two and a half hours In advance of the | time scheduled for the reception of | the general public, a line of citizens started to form on Pennsylvania ave- nue near the West gate. The snow and chilluess of the air apparently did not lessen the ardor of these men and women. By noon, this line had extended down Executive avenue. In the waiting crowd were repre- | sentatives of all walks of life. No| line is drawn at a New Year reception at the White House, as to color, creed v race, and representatives of all | clasres were on hand to join in this New Year greeting to the Executive and his wife. The line had not been formed for any length of time before their was a perceptible stamping of feet and shifting of bodies, suggesting that the cold air was beginning to take effect. A sleigh with bells jingling on the horse which drove along Pennsy vania avenue created much excite- ment among the crowd that had gathered near the gate, and the driver and his companion were given cheers and hand waves as they passed by. Despite the cosmopolitan and con- glomerate nature of the public lino, it was noticeable that the men and women for the greater part were well dressed, the latter especially. Hand- some and costly fur coats were very numerous, and on thils occasion they were useful as well as ornamental. WILL MAP ALASKA.

Scarcely less brilliant than the opening features of the White Hous~ reception was the diplomatic break- fast held toduy in the Pan-American Union Bullding, with the Secretary of State and Mrs. Hughes as hosts. Dip- lomats representing many lunds and speaking many languages gathered in the spacious corridors surrounding the patio of the building before the arrival of their hosts, presenting a pleture unequaled in color and beauty A section of the Marine Band gav a speclally arrauged program, and, in keeping with the strenuous sociul life of today, dance music was intr duced in the program, and while some guesis were still being recelved, otheps took a few lively turns in®the spacious room. The Secretary of State and Mrs. Huges stood alone to recelve, just within the east doorway of the great audience room. Maj. Solbert and other Wite House aides made the introduc- tions. Agsisting the Secretary and Mrs. Hughes in the entertainment of thelr guests were several of the State Department officials. Mrs. Hughes wore a gown of reseda green silk with a heavy trimming of brown maribou, her becoming hat of black and gold having a graceful plume i Ambassador of France Jusserand, who are receiying a ble ovation wherever they go nowadays, one touched with sadness, however, because they are soon to leave this countr were the first to Ereet the cretary and Mre.

Close after them came the Ambassador of Spain and enora ‘de Riuno and the embassy sulte, and other ambassadors and miinisters and charge d'affaires, each accompanied by every secretary and attache of their spective staffs and the ladies of thelr families. The spectacle was an Interesting and bril- | liant one, the hall and its stately pro- vortions and architecture lending great dignity and beauty to the ne.

The tabla from which the buffet breakfast was served was placed on the north side of the lofty room, about midway its length, the narrow board with its setting of glistening crystal and silver, tall candles and Christmas decoration lending a fine touch of color and an air of hospitalit entertainment.

It was all over outdoors so far as actual celebrating was concerned well before 1 a.m. Indoors, however, the festivities continued until far into the morning Long after 2 o'clock homeward bound automobiles were speeding over Dbeaten paths through the snow, which on another night at the same time would be marked only by the vagrant, solitary tralls of milk and bread wagons. Police were happy at the quiet greeting which this year was accord- ed In comparison with former years. Scant evidences of too-free imbibins came under the oficlal eve, dospit the fact that 21 were arrested during the 24 hours ending at 8 o'clock moraing for fntoxication.
