SOCIETY First Lady of the Land Assisted in Receiv- ing Guests for the Dance at the White House Last Night. HE PFirst Lady of the Land beamed and smiled upon more than a hundred young guests in the White House lasi night as she and her younger son, Mr. Allan Hoover, stood side by side in the green room to receive visitors, who, with but few exceptions, were seiected from the younger members of official families. Some Harvard students enjoyed the Christmas cheer, most of them school- mates of young Mr. Hoover. Mrs. Hoo- ver made a special effort to so arrange the list for her son that none of the several other hosts giving young folk dances would be entrenched upon, as an invitation to the White House, even for young people, is considered a com- mand. The several Christmas trees that adorned the state suite of drawing rooms were still in .iull holiday dress and lighted, and in the drawing rooms and in the great marble hall, as well as in the State dining room, were gay poinsettia plants and crimson flowers. Mrs. Hoover remained with the young guests the greater part of the evening. Mr. Allan Hoover opened the dance with Mrs. Amen, the daughter of Mrs. ‘Thomas Jex Preston, jr. and the late President Grover Cleveland, who is spending some time in Washington. Many of the young men and girls asked to the dance were new in Wash- ington society, most of them still in the student class, and the event was a revelation in the way of a comfortable, old-fashioned party. Supper was served at midnight at small tables arranged in the state din- ing room. Mrs. Edward Everett Gann will be honor guest at a Valentine party to be given by Mrs. Marietta Minnigerode Andrews.
