The White House was then decorated with skeletons, yellow lanterns, and corncobs hanging from lamps. The dining room columns were decorated with brown corn stalks, pumpkins, and red apples. On the table were a miniature witch on a broomstick, 16 silver vases filled with yellow and brown chrysanthemums, scattered autumn leaves, nuts, and dried pumpkins. In the lobby, guests encountered a black cat, a headless owl, and a dwarf hanging from a chandelier.
