and political fame united in the bril-
liant Inauguration bail as a browning
demonstration.
This years Inauguration day was
perhaps tie most notable and spectac-

the nation. The popularity of Presi-
dent Roosevelt was expressed at the
polls; it was demonstrated In pictur-

breaking inauguration. In SplenGor il

crowds Were larger than ever before.
Every estimate placed the number of
visitors above 100000. The highest
previous record Is 10000. The capac-
ity OF Washington TO entertain a crowd
was taxed Co the limit. and some
had TO pay dear for their entertain

The most imposing if not impress

MES undoubtedly took place in the
United States Senate chamber, and
was witnessed by 1900 people. This
was the swearing in of the new Vice
President and the inauguration of the
Senate for another term of Congress.
These ceremonies We're very simple in

The INAUGURAL BALL.
Event Whose Name Is Misleading, a
Scene of Lavish SpIendor.

GNSHt w nOSe Is "A
Scene of Lavish SpIendor.
The inaugural ball, held in the pension
building at night, was the final great
feature of Inauguration day. This ball
which is not ball, by the way; only Il
grand spectacle on the most eXtravagant
scale-dimmed the glories of all its pred
ecessors. 1t was the dream of thousands
crystallized into life and light, color and
rhythm. 1t filled many a fair woman's
cup of ambition trimming full and run
ming over. 1t lowered many a blameless
man with happy, ever-present boast
for all his remaining days.
The scene Of these splendors was the
great pension building, which is generous
enough to encompass a city square; and
tall enough to swallow a sky scraper.
In its center is a court large enough to
hold a church, spire and all, and the
court is surrounded by endless colonnades
rising tier above tier.
This hall, with gigantic proportions be-
fitting the great republic, was draped
with a wilderness of flowers and greens
and flags and gay stuffs, and the whole
flooded with the dazzling radiance of
myriad of electric lights. Southern ivy
