3ne day about three weeks be- ore an official reception, you re- eive an impressive engraved in- itation. It reads, "The President of the United States and Mrs. Eisen- iower request the pleasure of tie company and in the pace is your name. Right off the bat is the prob- em of clothes. In all circles this ihindig is considered ultraformal, the ladies must attire in full-length ball gowns.

As for the gents, it's nothing but vhite tie and tails. Since this is a reception, no r.s.v.p. is necessary. Guests just hand over an which comes with the invitation. Except 'or members of the cabinet, everyone enters the White House via the East wing.

Cars or taxis can come up the driveway and drop you off right at the door. Once inside, you follow the crowd down a long corridor leading to the main section of the building. On the way a spa- The Eisenhowers make it a point to grive each guest a warm greeting: In the reception line. Here the President greets an old friend, Gen. Omar Bradley, retired, while Mamie charmingly how-do-you-do's with another cious checkroom, and when youi depart it's okay to leave a tip.

Then comes the waiting, unless you arrive very early. All White House receptions begin at nine on the nose, and since it's frowned on to be late, a long line queues up. If the affair is particularly large, such as last year's diplomatic reception when 2100 were invited then you might have to shuffle along for over an hour. The worst part about this is that you watch the ceremony marking the arrival of the President and his wile. And it's something to see.

Signalled by a drum roll and blast of bugles, a grand procession majestically descends the stairs to the main hallway. At the forefront is the Army Navy, Air Force and Marine color guard carrying the American and presidental flags. Then come two pairs ot White House aides followed by the President with his wife on his arm, Behind them are Army, Navy and Air Force aides and the Vice President and members of the cabinet. A stirring climax is reached when the presidental couple arrives, at the center of the foyer. After a moment's wait, the First Marine Corps band gives forth with "Hail to the Chief." Then the handshaking starts.

Ike and Mamie go to the Blue Room to receive the long line. Two by two guests file through tha Green Room, then into the Blue Room and out to the Red Room where refreshments are served. Few people are disappointed and most of the women and numerous men go away little bit starry-eyed. For both the Eisenhowers make it a point to give each guest a warm greeting Ftir example, Mimic varies her salutation, so she might smile at you and say, "It's so good you to come," or "I'm delighted meet you." As a result, you'll hear yourself or others exclaim, "How sweet she is," or "He really looked me in the eye," or "Did you hear what she said to me?" It often takes more than an for everyone to get througli the line. Occasionally Ike and Mamie will take a threc-or-foxir- minuto break, rest their feet and hands and take a sip of water.

Both of them, however, arc accustomed to such long affairs, and they always respond with plenty of enthusiasm. They particularly enjoy it when the miliiar.v are invited to receptions, for this gives them a chance to see many old friends again. After the President and Mrs. Eisenhower are through greeting people, they generally retire. Then the band plays dance music in the East Room until sometime between 10 and 11, when guests depart so their host and.
