ARTISTIC EFFECTS.

Broad satin ribbon bows and stream
ers were introduced among the flowers
wherever it would enhance the effect
The fountain in the center had been
made a thing of beauty. Around and
through the spray, a picturesque grot-
to of cork bark and moss covered rocks
had been built and planted with ferns,
lilies, vines and aquatic plants. Sur
rounding were maSsed blooming plants
vines and tropical palms. A thousand
electric fairy lights sparkled in the
falling spray and among the rocks and
plant leaves. The eight towering col
umnS which support the roof were
treated in an original and novel man
ner. From the temporary base about
ten feet from the floor sprang graceful
growing palms which reached to a
height of 20 to 25 feet. Massed at the
bases and completely encircling them
were quantities of acaciaS and jonquils
and other rich yellow blooms. The
upper portion of the pillars, which in
color harmonized with the prevailing
tints of white and gold, were left I'M
adorned.
Over the balconies and about the
smaller columns were trailed Southern
smflax, and in front of the balconies at
Intervals to conform to the flag deco
rations were PLAQUES of sabal palm
leaves and flowers, alternating with
artistic effects of wreaths, caught up
with the national colors. On the top
of the galleries were large vases filled
with luxuriant tropical plants On the
walls in the rear of the balconies were
frieze effects in laurel festoons, fastened
with green leaves. The stairways were
thatched with evergreens, producing
an arbory with singing birds hung
among the branches.
The presidents and diplomatic rooms
were arranged with palms and other
green's, Orchids American Beauty
roses, tulips and jonquils In
the four corners of the court were
massed towering palms based with
growing plants, the whole raised high
above the floors. The street approach
es were tastefully decorated with
green's.
The lighting of this immense ball
room was accomplished by the use Of
fifty arc lights, 1920 incandescent
lights with tinted globes and 5000 mini
atures in white and yellow colors. These
last were scattered right among the
plants and flowers in a manner most
pleasant to the eye. The incandescent
lamps were attached to the pillars
which support the galleries. The effect
was unique. Viewed from an upper

Illuminated. The whole line Of march
Of the day, with it's countless flag
effects and beautiful inter-twinings and
draperieS of the national colors Shone
clear, as If some prophet had stayed
the sun in it's course till the great
demonstration of a mighty token could
be completed.
Private Examinations Joined each
other from end to end of the avenue.
The immense public buildings seemed
in flames. At various points high over
them against the blacknesS of the sky,
great flags, Illuminated by searchlights,
waved clear and bright. This effect
was magical and moved the thousands
below to an enthusiasm which even
the marvellous scenes Of the day had
not kindled.
AS the general illumination faded, the
searchlights began to reveal the pub
lie buildings and the Washington
monument. The capitol the public
library and the state, war and navy
buildings, flashed suddenly into light,
each wonderful and enhancing mir
age of the night, alternately fixing the
breathleSs attention of the multitudeS.
and suddenly disappearing into dark
ness. The fireworks and the street il
Nominations have not been equalled in
the past, and the entertainment for
the thousands who could not attend the
ball, was varied and ample.
All the inaugural committees worked
enthusiastically, and with notable sue
cess. 1t has been the fortune of the
present body, under Chairman G. J.
Bell and his active and influential COM
mittees, to excel all previous efforts
in every element of their comprehen-
sive and perfect plan. Never before
was an administration launched upon
it's unknown future with more impress
sive or enthusiastic demonstration.
The lights are out in the ball room;
the flags no longer CLEAN against the
darkness of the sky; the city lights
burn low; the wild acclaim of the null
titudes is stilled; after day of fervent
patriotic emotion the national capital
sleeps.
With the sunrise, the new admins
tration which all our clans have unit
ed to welcome, must strip itself for
the countless tasks which will test its
strength.
