WASHINGTON, March 4.-The in
augural festivities closed at midnight
with a ball that in splendor, attendance
and artistic effect fittingly ushered out
a brilliant, spectacular day.
Thousands of handsomely gowned
women, with escorts from every state
in the union and nearly every civilized
country, in the the grand illuminated
court of the pension building paid their
social duties TO the nations chief exec

ting for the ball was beautiful with
riot of color, evergreens, lights and
plants.
The ball opened formally at $50
o'clock with the arrival of President
and Mrs. Roosevelt and party and Vice
President and Mrs. Fairbanks. At this
period the balconies were crowded with
early corners and the main court of the
building was rapidly becoming filed.
The scene was gorgeous. Imagine a
vast hall, So large that from one end
the lights at the other end were lost
in haze and with a height to CORE

Dainty Dressing Gown.

A dainty dressing gown is a neces.
sity for a woman of taste; It may be
quite charming and elegant without
losing its useful character. There was
time when there was little choice
between the frivolous peignoir and the
uncompromisingl hideous or gaudy
striped garment, but in these days of
beautiful and inexpensive fabrics
there is no excuse for anyone to wear
unbecoming colors. Something serv.
iceable" means to many people
chiefly an absence of color. A deep.
rich shade, however, looks clean and
fresh much longer than a nondescript
or dingy hue. The prevailing color OF
the bedroom should be taken into con.
sideration when choosing a dressing
gown. 1t is no more trouble to choose
the right shade and secure harmony
In your room. A simple gown of fine
serge or amazon cloth, with a border
OF galloon, is pretty and is very easily
made.

Traits Of the Aztecs

The Aztecs OF old we're not only
great soldiers, but also diligent cult
vators of the soil, and had acquired
considerable proficiency in agricul.
ture. although they had no horses,
oxen or other animals of draught. To
this day the men earn their living
chiefly as day laborers in the fields
now owned by the Mexicans. The
staple product now as OF yore is the
maize. and next to II the maguey or
agave. the sweet sap OF which is the
principal material for the famous Mex
lean pulque. Some species are cult
waited as vegetables. others for the
sake OF their leaves which yield a
strong fiber that can be woven into
fabrics. Hence the saying that the
agave supplies the people with drink
food and clothing. The men have lit.
tie ambition to excel In handicraft.
Farriery and carpentry are about the
only trades they care to take up. In
the cities they work as porters, car.
riers or peddlers, In a small way.

Lingerie blouses are to be worn the
winter through with tailored coats end
skirts. They are really Indispensable.
for they are thin, taking up no room,
and when mussed water and hot iron
restore them to an immaculate condi

as the more elaborate silk and crepe

are required; but they are always
fresh and spotless, and thus delight
the dainty woman. In cut they are al
most facsimiles of those worn during
the summer, save that heavier lacss
are used, cluny, guipure and the lately
revived crepon being favorites. These

The newest veil is called the Mel

lace flounce than a veil. 1t is deep
and wide and circular, and made most
ly of Chantilly lace, with it's fat, silky
mesh and graceful patterns.
Some of them have the pattern OF
the edge repeated, in smaller way,
at the top of the founce, just where
1t lies over the brim of the hat.
Chiffon veils-some Of them-have
scalloped edges and are appliqued
with small velvet daisies. But their
charm is the way they pull up on a

with lighter shade over it, and join
