Roddan, Mrs. Donner Roosevelt of Philadelphia, Mr. Hall when the President and Mrs. Roosevelt entertained in honor of the members of the cabinet and their | wives. The company at the party | was unusually interesting and in the distinguished list of guests those who | attracted the most attention were “Amos ’'n’ Andy,” who appeared on the list as Mr. Freeman F. Cosden and Mr. Charles J. Correll of Chicago, each accompanied by his wife. The arrangements for the party last evening were quite the same as on similar occasions in the past, the | President and Mrs. Roosevelt receiv- | ing their guests in the east room and | at the appointed hour, with music by the Marine Band Orchestra, the com- | pany took its places at the U-shaped table which occupied the state dining room. The center of the U was| banked with palms and Adiantum | Baldi fern, which also were on the | mantel on the west wall of the room. Low mounds of talisman rosebuds and fern were at intervals in the center of the narrow table and also in the center of the mirrored plaque which is a part of the exquisite gold service which James Monroe purchased while Ambassador to France. Roses | and stevia were in the dainty vases | of the plaque and in the tall compotes luscious grapes fell from mounds of | apples and other fruit. The china was the new pattern selected by the President and Mrs. Roosevelt, the | goblets of cut glass with the shield and coat of arms cut in the glass and a wine glass in green glass with & smaller wine glass in white crystal. | The famous gold flat service, three forks at one side of the plate and two gold knives with pearl handles on the other side. The place cards, with gold beveled edges and in the Presi- dent's coat of arms in gold, marked the places. The cut glass finger bowls, bearing the President’s coat of arms, each bore the leaf of a rose geranium foating in the water. Coffee Served In Green Room. Following the dinner coffee was| served for the ladies in the green | room, the gentlemen remaining at the | table, and later the company assem- ! bled in the east room, where the hosts received the additional guests invited for the musicale. The pro-| gram was given by Mr. Frederick | Jagel, tenor; Dr. V. Ernest Wolff,| pianist; Miss Vandy Cape, singing satires, and Mr. Edward Hart, accom- | panist.

Wilson Brown, and Mrs. Brown. at last evening's party there was a touch of sadness over the absence of Mrs. Harold L. Ickes, this being the first state function since her tragic } death.
