THE FIRST INAUGURATION.
Second Induction of Thomas Jcner'
SON Was the Initial One ut
Washington.

No midnight frivolities marked the
advent of the aristocratic John Adams,
nor did the people SO indulge upon
Jefferson's inaugurations, the second
of which, in 1905, is memorable as hav'
ing been the first Inauguration held
IN Washington, says the National Mag.
azine.
Hospitality and gayety reigned SUI
preme from the first moments of Mad
sons presidency. After the cere-
monies incident to administering the
oath of Office, the president and his
escort were lavishly served, by ladies',
at the white house. Ex-Preside mt JEFF
:erson assisted in the service 1t
would be interesting to know whether
ne was in his accustomed neglige.
More interesting, however, is his
cordial welcome to his successor in
comparison with John Adams escape
from the city in a private conveyance
at dawn of Jefferson's Inauguration
day. Later presidents, too, have
shown a less noble spirit than Jeffer:-
sons ON similar occasions. John
Quincy Adams is said to have ridden
on horseback about the city, within
earsho1 of the salute announcing Jack
sons succession, unwilling to witness
he ceremony, and Tyler FASTENED to
the river and embarked in the early
morning of his retiring to private cit
izensbip.

A Smart American Idea,

The novelty-loving women derive in
finite satisfaction from their postil-
ion belts that happily can adorn
waists of all ages and sizes. A smart
American idea this position girdle
is, and the strap that encircles tho
middle is wide or narrow, as the pur-
chaser may select. A black silk or
satin band, stitched to state of de-
sirable stiffness, edged with gilt or
silver gimp, fastened in front with
a stitched tongue and buckle, become
jaunty position by the simple de-
vice of fastening in the back a long
or short, fiat or fluffy, tail, made Of
the same goods as the belt itself.
Sometimes the tail is trimmed with
gimp to match the belt, but just as
often it is left quite plain, save for
a chnste design worked out in small
gilt buttons.

she rushed madly down the stairs to

tress backed up to her. do hurry

''it's past time and the,people are la
bic to arrive at any minute"
Martha hooked up the waist by main
force and then discovered that she had
not begun right at the neck. Then
she did her work over again and this
time the two edges came out even at
the belt. Then Mrs. Stanley hurried
into the drawing-room, glanced into
the mirror, pulled n curl in place and
sat down, trying to look as If she
had been serenely waiting for some
time to receive her guests. It was
three o'clock before Mrs. Murphy
burst into the room in feverish way,
then looked around, surprised to see
that it was empty save for her hostess.
II thought was late," she gasped.
"But I couldn't get maid to hook
up my dress. I sent bell boy about
forty times after one, and they didn't
come, and I was afraid would keep
the whole party waiting. Isn't it aw-
full to have clothes that open in the

all dressed and slipped on my bodice,
then I put my head out of the door
and called to George. He didn't an

he didn't come. Then I hunted all
over the place-no George. Finally

A TOWN IN TWO STATES.
And a Railroad Tint Has One Rail
in Tennessee. the Other
in Virginia..

A Washington dispatch to the Chi
cago Record says that certain change
in the boundary line, as agreed be-
tween Virginia and Tennessee. has just
been ratified by congress. This re-
calls good story. For years the town
Of Bristol, in east Tennessee, has had
the unique distinction of being in two
states. There are two separate mu-
nicipal corporations, one under the
laws of Tennessee and the other un-
der the laws of Virginia. They are
known as Bristol, Tenn, ind Bristol,
Va. The corporation of Bristol, Tenn,
extending to the east curbing of Main
street, the principal business thor
oughfare of the twin cities. Both cor
porations wished to pave this street.
that is, they considered it necessary
but how to 60 about to divide the ex-
pense attached was the question to
be considered.
The city of Bristol, Tenn, did not
care to pay for paving the entire thor
cughfare up to the sidewalk on the
Bristol (Va.) side, while the corpora
zion of Bristol, Va, could not step
across the imaginary line and expend
city funds in Tennessee. This was a
tangled proposition for the fathers
of the two cities. 1t was suggested
that the matter be taken to the legis-
lature and have the Tennessee general
assembly cede one-half of Main street
to Virginia. The sister state was
tickled to death to accept the propo-
sition, as Gov. Tyler told Gov. McMillin
over the telephone the other day. The
Tennessee solons passed the bill. 1t
was engrossed and sent to the Virginia
general assembly. These lawmakers
accepted the gift, and then congress
was asked to ratify the action of the
two legislatures.
The result of the work is that the
boundary line between Virginia and
Tennessee is in the center Of Main
street. There is now an electric street
cor line on this thoroughfare, with one
rail in Tennessee and the other in Vir-
ginia. Each state will collect one-half
of the taxes on the street railway
property. The car line runs along for
mile and half in the two states.
Many interesting stories are told OF
complications in the past caused by
the boundary line.

MARTHA HOOKED UP THE WAIST.


Used him a quarter. I said I wouldn't
pay him anything, then he raised his
price to so cents. Of course had to
give in and he made me throw the
money out of the window to him be-
fore he would come up. I was mad

was ut his mercy, little imp!"
Other women came drifting in now.
Most of them wore gowns that closed
in the back and most of them had
some difficulty in getting into them.
Mrs. Gardner, who was incased in q
princess gown which was buttoned
from the nape of her neck to her heels,
said that her nurse maid had just
given her notice because of this gown.
The nurse had struck after the fifty
sixth button and then the cook had
been called in. The cooks hands had
not been Immediately clean and q
large grease spot marked the Begin
ming of her labors. Mrs. Delaney then
told of a man who had applied for q
divorce from q wife who had all her
gowns opened in the back and who
insisted that he should stay home
from business to close them for her.
Madge Stern, whose father is a Judge
on the bench, said that she believed
the man would be sustained on the
ground that this was habitual cruelty.
BY this time all the guests had come
save Mrs. Blewett. The women sat
about the tables with the cards dealt,
only waiting for her appearance to
begin the game. At $3.50 cab was
driven up to the door, Mrs. Blewett
tumbled out, rushed into the hall,
meanwhile tearing off her cloak and
