FIRST LADY MEETS GUESTS AT DOOR Serves Tea in East Room and Kisses Relatives as They Arrive, By the Associated Press. ‘The ceatury-old White House wore & air today, as though listening to sound of shattering precedents. ‘With dynamic Mrs. Franklin D. elt as mistress, the pattern of -tape-embroidered official etiquette been anipped into as many pieces a3 & jig-saw, puszle. A First Lady who greeted her dinner ests at the door, instead of walting them to assemble and then make | eeremonious descent! | A White House hostess who served tea | in the east room! | A President’s wife who had invited in 4he women of the press, with the prom- | fse that she’d “talk for publication,” snd who, indeed, already had been “interviewed” in her new home! | 3,000 Served at Tea. A woman of proudest place who did Dot hesitate to kiss in greeting the rela- tives who came to her first tea! Washington had never seen the like, &nd Anna Eleanor Roosevelt's tall figure became symbolic of an exclamation int as the Capital dwellers talked of | Phe social transformation that appar- | tly had taken place with the “new | eal.” | " The first function was that afternoon “tea,” originally planned for a thou- sand, but assuming the proportions of & formal reception. Three thousand came —or at least food that number was con- sumed. Though not truly comparable as an sfternoon affair as set alongside a noc- turnal one, nevertheless that tea made Prophetic contrast with the last Mg‘ function of the Republican regime, the | reception for Army, Navy and depart- | ment officials a week ago. -It was a smartly formal symbolic show that has “always been done.” o Guests Greeted Graciously. But Mrs. Roosevelt's tea guests poppe 16 at the front door to find her stand- | ing by the blue room door ready to greet them graciously, to chat with | them if it happened that way, to kiss | an arriving relative. Tables offering | cpftee, tea, punch, sandwiches and | oakes were spread in three rooms, in- | cluding the east room. Again at the dinner for 75 relatives Mrs. Roosevelt was in the front hll\.} Yeady to greet her guests as they ar- rived. And among tiem were repre sentatives of the “Republican Roosevelt dlan who once lived there—Alice Roose- velt Longworth, Mr. and Mrs. Archie Roosevelt and Mrs. Kermit Roosevelt. ‘SOCIETY z (Continued From Second L1 Miss Elizabeth Seymour, 8 debutante of this Winter, who is visiting in Wash- ington.
