They first received the Secretary of War and Mrs. Hurley, who were followed immediately by the Sec- the heads of those branches of the Fed- eral Government in whose honor the reception was given. This was a de- parture from custom of many years, the members of the cabinet and their wives always being received on the up- per floor before the stately march to the blue room.
