THE VICE ppEsrpENr.
Mr.. Stevenson VIII Administer the
Oath to Mr.. Hobart.

Oath to Mr.. Hobart.
The ceremonies attending the intro
duction of the vice president into his
Office are very simple. When Mr..
Hobart has assembled the platform Vice
President Stevenson reaches forth his
right band to greet his successor, and
then administers to him the oath of
Office. After having performed this
act he assumes the gayel, raps once and
announces: 1.-THE senate is adjourned
sine die" This ends the ceremony, ue-
less special session of the senate has
been called by the retiring president,
as was the case four years ago. Should
the same thing be done this year, Vice
President Hobart would assume the
gayel, after Mr.. Stevcnson's retirement,
rap once and announce: 1.-THE senate
will be in order" He would then state:
"The senators-elect for the Fifty-ffth
congress will come forward and re.
cciye the oath of Office" Immediately
thereafter one-third of the members Of
the senate, who have been reelected, Or
men WHO have been elected to take the
place of those whose terms have ex-
pired, would approach the vice presi-
dent and from him receive the oath Of
office. Adjournment would then be had.
After adjournment the senators and

stantial refreshments will have to be

Uncle Sam furnishes the dramatis per.
sonae for the Inauguration show, but
when it comes to pay for the staging he
is, to use a slang phrase, mot in
it." The expense is borne by the
business men of Washington, who,
months prior to Inauguration day,
raise a large guarantee fund to defray
the cost of the grand pageant on Penn
sylvania avenue, relying for reimburse
ment on the thousands of visitors who
usually remain in the city for several
days and spend millions of dollars to
satisfy their patriotic curiosity. AS
the raising of Inauguration funds has
.iever proved very difficult task, it is
to be presumed that the merchants ano
hotel keepers receive a fair profit on
their Investment.

viewing stands will be erected where
they might mar the appearance of the
thoroughfare and imperil the lives Of
spectators. In former years stands
were erected wherever fancy or greed
dictated, and parts of the avenue
looked like the main street of a coun-
try village on circus day. This year
stands will not only be less numerous,
but they will be neatly decorated and
placed in hooks where they cannot Of
fend the eye. In 1898 as much as fvo
dollars was asked for IL seat in the re-
viewing stands, and the charge this
year will probably be the same. Arches
are erected all along the avenue in hon.
or of the visiting governors, and these
the various state delegations will be
asked to decorate and illuminate. The
details of the decorations have been
carefully supervised by the committee
on decorations and public comfort, to
insure good taste and harmony in the
massing of color.

two admiring spectators near him were
saying. "A colonel in the days of the duke
of Marlborough and "a lady of the same
PERIOD dressed by-oh, give me my
glasses-'Miss Sylvia Berwick, II Teck-ter-
race, West Kensington.' There is only one
fault, perhaps. Did ladies carry bouquets
in those days?'
Not in those days, perhaps, but certainly
in the days when in all Covent Garden there
seemed no lilies of the valley fresh enough
for Capt. Narration to send to Miss Berwick
for Lady Hurstmonceux's fancy ball-the
ball where she had figured as a lady of the
court of Queen Anne, and he as one of
Marlborough's colonies.
How we'll he remembered it! Some benev,
client girl had told him what Sylvia was to
wear, and he had chosen his own dress ac-
cordingly. They had been much commented
upon as the successes of the night, and in the
pauses of a Waldteufel waltz he had told her
that he loved her. and she-ah, for the kiss
hurriedly exchanged in the conservatory

Sylvia who came in. Not the Sylvia OF other
days, so radiant, so girlish, so fresh in her
dainty dresses-the years are not so kind
but sweet, serious woman in plain black,
with the old masses OF golden hair showing
under her little bonnet.
Dick, with sudden strange sensation Of
shyness that was very like fear, drew back
until he was almost hidden by a screen, so
that she did not see him.
But the room was full Of a fragrance her
heart knew in a moment. He had laid the
lilies upon a table, and she took them up
with little soft exclamation of pleasure.
He saw how tender was the face that bent
over the flowers, face no longer young, but
with new loneliness all its own.
Then he came forward without word.
She knew him instantly. The flush of rosy
color, the light in her eyes, the joy she could
not stifle after all those hungry dragging
years of loneliness, conjured back all, and
more than all, the glamour of their youth.

you here"

not availed to keep the young lover she had
chosen; and she had no mother to plead for
ther.
Dick had been ordered to India, and very
soon after old Berwick had gone under, as
they say. This time in double sense, for
the crash that took his fortune took his life,
and left Sylvia absolutely alone in the world.
Society was naturally too busy with its
own concerns to remember the comet of Il
day. Dick had been at first sore and angry,
then cynical, over his own passion.
The organ played Christmas hymns, the
hymns that, whether we will or no, take us
back, and exercise such subtle magic. Even
to the most careless listener they had a
touch of fresh significance among these gay
memorials of good will and kindness, not
towards men, but towards the children, to
whom the pitiless heritage of the sins of the
fathers comes with such cruel force.
Suddenly Dicks eye was riveted by pair
of immense dolls, and his heart beat as it
had not beaten for 10 years.
