An idea of the vastness of the ball room
can be gained from the fact that notwith-

seemingly general knowledge that they
were making circuit of the hall, there
were several thousand peoule who did not
even know that the president and Mrs.
Cleveland were in the room.
The greatest interest was manifested
in Mrs. Cleveland, and hundreds of
women We'd with each other in getting
to the front of the line where they might

be almost as much part Of the ceremo-

have been but two intermissions in the
series of inaugural balls to commemorate
the accession of a newly elected presi-
dent since the days of Madison, that
covers period of eighty-four years.
