La Grande Invetment Go, The party had hardly reached the Red room before the diulomatic corps appeared, the venerable British Am bassador, James Bryce heading the gold bedecked contingent. Ambassa dor Bryce acted as dean of the corps In the absence of the Austrian Am bassador, Baron Kengelmullcr, who has seen longest service of aoy of the diplomats at Washington. Be hind Bryce came the other ambassa dors, In strict order of the length of their services here the old ones first, the new ones last. After the ambassadors came the minister and their suites the same procedure be ing observed. They formed a medley of flashing gold lace, swords an ' cocked hats. There was a brief pause after tills glittering array had passed, and then came the memberse of the Supreme court, garbed in somber frock coats, Chief Justice White at their bead, and the other members ranged behind him in the order of their seniority. Other members of the Judiciary the commerce court, court of customs ap peals, dlstlct courts, etc. passed af ter them. Next came former cabinet officials, former American diplomatic officials and ex-officers of the govern ment. ' When this array was over the bu glers sounded a call. Out in the gerat east room, senators and representa tives had been gathering. At the sound of the bugle they advanced congressmen and their wives and gradually passed through the room. Exactly at noon the white house was again filled with gold lace uni forms and martial splendor. It was the army and navy contingent every officer of both branches on duty In and around the city, every man In his special full dress, cocked hat and sword. Major General, Leonard Wood led this line, probably for the last time, as his place as chief of staff will probably be filled by another a year hence. Rear Admiral Richard Walnwrlght led the naval officers. This was the last of the gold lace and swords. When the soldiers and sailors had departed, the department chiefs were received In the order of the rank of their department. Then come the members of government commissions, ex'-offlclo boards, and honorary officers, winding up with the civic and patriotic societies of the District, Spanish war veterans, Civil war veterans, and the Oldest Inhabl- they weren't too awed by his own smiling presence, and hurried on down the line, most of them never even seeing the rest of those in the party, because they were so nervous at greeting the excutlve and hear ing Major Rhoades shout out their names In such a public way. At the entrance to the mansion and again just beside the door where the president received there were several unobtrusively active young men men who with quick glances searched the faces and hands and pockets of all tants' association. When these had passed there was a long pause. Preldent Taft wiped his brow, took a long breath and set tied down for the real ordeal of the day hand-shaking with the plain people. Then the gates were thrown open and the long line started weaving into the president's home. Rich and poor, splendidly apparelled and shab by, young and old, fat and slim, men and women they came on a heter ogenous cosmopolitan crowd that who with qulk glances searched the faces and hands and pockets of all who came in. Occasionally they bumped Into people who kept theli hands In muffs or pockets, or quietly reminded them that no person is per mitted to get to the president whoisc hands are not kept in plain ' sight. They were the secret service opera tives. President Taft showed In a slight tan the effects of the tropical sun at Panama. He returned to Washing ton only yesterday.
