President's Wife

Washington, Oct. 10. - One of the largest receptions incidental to the G. A. R. encampment season was given by Mrs. Roosevelt to the Patriotic Organizations of Women, meeting in national convention during the encampment. It was held at the Corcoran art gallery from 4 to 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon. From the time the doors were opened until the close of the reception a constant stream of callers, white and colored, were introduced to Mrs. Roosevelt, by whom they were greeted with a cordial handshake. Mrs. Roosevelt was attired in a dress of white moire antique, corded, with a bow of ribbon in her hair.

Owing to fatigue, she was obliged to occupy a chair during a part of the time. Among those who were present were Mrs. John A. Logan and Miss Clara Barton. The Marine band played patriotic airs during the hours of the reception.
