UP—Offictar New Year's Day receptions are ta- boo, at least for 1920, and that part of Washington society accustomea to pay its respects at the White House and in cabinet homes will confine its visits to non-officiat hosts, President Coolidge cancelled the New Year's White House re- ception possibly on account of his absence from the capital and the long fatiguing ordeal through which Mrs, Coolidge would have to pass. ‘The president’s decision caused a general readjustment for the day In his executive family, and the Sec- retary of State and Mrs. Kellogg will be the only members of the cabinet family at home on Tuesday afternoon. The cabinet women, will however, be at home on Wednesday afternoon, January 2, and will ob- serve each Wednesday at home dur- ing the month.
