A Scene of Dazzling Beauty, but Dane
ing Was Impossible.
WASHINGTON, March 4-The inaugural
ball this evening was one Of the most sue
cessful in the history Of the country. By
O'Clock fully 5000 people had gathered in
the immense court Of the pension build
ing. A more brillianB scene could not be
imaglnea-
At 9.45 the president and Mrs. Cleveland
entered the gallery Of the second story
amid deafening shout Of applause, which
continued at intervals until they had made
the tour of the building, bowling at each
fresh demonstration. Mrs. CLEVELAND
won fresh laurels at every step, looking
each moment lovelier as the color mounted
to her cheeks and excitement frightened
her eyes.
Her dress was ivory white satin, made
empire front and tight fitting back, richly
ornamented with point lace and embroid-
cred with crystal beads. The embroidery
runs up in rays about twelve inches from
the bottom of the skirt, which is pointed
! in the back. The empire front is lined with
lace and crystal embroidery. The sleeves
are large puffs Of satin dotted with beads,
l
4 fall Of lace dotted with beads, the whole
making striking but simple costume.
The vice president and Mrs. Stevenson
remained down stairs about an hour and
then went up to the gallery, where a no
table assemblage of personages were
gathered. Dancing was entirely out of the
question and people who could promenade
were fortunate indeed. Few persons OF
distinction were missed from the CRY
throng.
Late in the evening the president and
Mrs. Cleveland went on the main floor and
made tour of the room, after which they
retired to the rooms belonging to the super
intendent of pensions, which were elab-
orately decorated with flowers and pa6ns.
Here the president and Mrs. Cleveland re-
ceived large number Of prominent per
sons, including senators, representatives,
foreign ministers and officers Of the army
and navy

En-.ish Period Of Mourning.

In England the period of mourning
for a fa,hcr-in law is twelve months
ten months black and two half mourn
ing. Grape is seldom worn. although
the Grape period was formerly six
months. For parent the period is
the same as above. The longest pc
riod for 4 brother is six months
five months black and one
month of half mourning. The
Grape period was formerly three
months. 1t is now almost discarded.
The shortest period is four months
black: no half mourning. The period
of mourning for father-in-law is
often shortened to six months when
relatives reside at considerable
distance from each other.
