Cengress assembled at the White House last night instead of in the Capltol, and the President-and Mrs. Coolidge were hosts to one of the most notable gatherings held there this season. The Senate and House had right of way from the time they entered the mansion by the south front door until they reluctantly left about 11 o'clock, while the Marine Band played up-to-date dance music and the grand gold plano in the east room furnished up-to-aate rythm for hundreds of persons who danced there. Without exception the arrangements for the entertainment were perfect, and there was a homelness and hos- pitality about the entire reception, while it still carried all the dignity of a state function. The arrange- ments were much as, for previous state receptions this skason, flowers adding a charm wherever placed, the taste of Mrs. Coolidge showing in the artistically arranged clusters placed to good advantage, rather than show- ing in heavy masses, as they have sometimes been used.
