the description, they must be mon
strous. Mrs. Cleveland, as queen
of official social life, with the ladies
of the cabinet, can, by not adopting
such outre styles, Danish them in
measure from the fashionable cir
Giles Of our country, at least.
There was no pomp displayed
when Thomas Jefferson YVES inaug-

money of being inaugurated Presi-
dent of the United States. The ma
ton was then in its infancy and
poor, but in these progressive days
something grand and imposing is
expected when the ruler of sixty
millions of people takes his seat,
and nearly half million turn out
to see the show.
