Our Finest Fall Suits, $35 to $60 A White House . Reception 1877 ASHINGTON still remembers the brilliancy which marked the social life of the White House during its occupancy by, the President and Mrs. Hayes. Receptions and dinners filled the calendar. The diplomatic receptions have never been more color- ful—or more brilliant. The climax of the enter- taining came when the Grand Dukes Constantine and Alexis, of Russia, visited the White House. In fact their visit was the one occasion upon which Mrs. Hayes broke one of her established rules—that of serving no alcoholic refreshments at her functions . And how the ladies of the period reveled in elaborate costumes! Toilettes were garnished with' lace and fringe and flowers. Coiffures were curled and ornamented with feathers, laces, ribbons, flowers and combs. Most of the gowns were finished with trains. The princess polonaise was the vogue. Little round hats and bonnets were worn by the ladies who followed the mandates of fashion . . .. Old Washington remembers, too, the great fire of 1877 when the blazing roof of the Patent Office, at 9th and G streets, brought forth not only the entire fire department of the District, but fire engines from Alexandria and Baltimore as well, before the fire was extinguished . . . . And Washington found much of important interest in the overseas news of 1877. It was this year that Queen Victoria was proclaimed Empress of all India. It was this year that Great Britain annexed the African Transvaal. And the rumble of war added its note—when Russia declared war on Turkey. One of a series of editorials published in anticipation of the celebration commemo= rating the founding of this store. e PALAIS ROYAL 1877 WASHINGTON 1927 MILES ).
