Washington Jan. 2 — PreeMent
Roosevelt held hie first Ne* Year'» re-
ception at the White House yesterday
end nirroundod by the presidential
and cabinet circle he greeted official·
in every branch of public life as well
as a great concourse of people from
pi Irate life.. The scene within the his-
toric mansion was one of extraordi-
nary beanty and brilliancy and there
was an added touch of interest on the
occasion this year from the fact this
was the first of the functions of mag-
nitude with Mr. Roosevelt and his
family as the central figures.
The day waa Ideal for the observ-
ance of the time-honored custom ot
making New Year's calls. The sun
shone from a cloudless sky the ail
was cool and bracing and a westerly
wind made the white hoase flags stand
wind made the White House flageetand j
out proudly. Early In the day an
army of decorators and florists took
possession of the fansion and trans- ;
formed the stately corridors and par- \
lora into bowers of palms potted
plants and sweet-smelling flowers. The
official program of tbe day fixed 11
o'clock as the tlmp for opening the re-
ception with the calls of the members
of the cabinet and the foreign repre-j
sentatlves but some time before that
hour the approaches leading up to the
marble portico were filled with car- :
rlages while long lines of people took
position at tbe outer gates in order to
have points of vantage when the pub-
lic reception began.
The Interior of the mansion was
aglow wlih a myriad of electric lights
and to this was added the beauty of a
profusion of flowors plants and vines
banked about the mantels and draped
from chandeliers and wails.
In the outer corridor Just wltbin the
entrance the band of tne engineer
carps United State* army CO strong.
In their brilliant uniforms were ranged

j president bowed as he pasted along
frequently giving a cheery iespor.se to
| the New Year's greeting* »· χ tended to
i him front those In the line.
Mrs. Roosevelt held in her hand a
superb hoquet of pink orchids. She
wore a gown of white satin heavily
: pleated with iace _yoke and diamomi
t ornaments and In her hair sparkle·!
a diamond tira. The president was in
the conventional black frock coat. He
bad no boutonnier and the gray striped
neck scarf was the only bit of color
In his attire. Following the president
sad wife came the members of the
; cabinet and their wives.
Then fouowed the reception.
President Roosevelt's manner of re-
ceiving his callers was exceedingly
gracious aIV» jappy As each guest
was announced by Col. Bingham the
president grasped the hand of th*? visi-
tor and wished him α hearty New
Year often accompanying this with
| some ffellcitious expression to anyone
i recognised as a close frieud. There
was no hurrying along of the callers
and often there was considerable de
lay while pleasantries were exchanged.
Mrs. Roosevelt proved to be a most
charming New Year'e hostess and the
cordiality of ner greetings reminded
many of the callers of the days when
Mrs. Cleveland was mistress of the
White bouse.
At 12:30 the reception to the public
bag·» and great crowds accepted this
flri0 opportunity to grasp the hand of
the president At that hour the crowd
■?v the outer gate streched away in
both directions for several blocks. All
stations colora creeds sexes and ages
were represented In the motley throng
which elbowed up to the president.
The latter In no way relaxed hie cor-
diality and ail received the same greet
ing. For more Chan an hour this hu-
man stream flowed past the president.
It was estimated by the white house
attendent* that more than 8000 peopie
passed before the receiving party. Ve-
teran officials regarded it as one of
the largest and most successful recep-
tions held.
Following the reception at the white
house the principal events of the day
>ere were th* receptions of the cal»!·
