 INAUGURATION

 An inauguration is properly divided into five parts, as the in- coming official makes five seperate appearances before the public. He first shows himself when he leaves the White House or, if he is not already an inmate of the White House, his apartments in Washing ton, to be escorted to the capitol. He drives in an open carriage and disappears into the capitol to emerge on the east front, where he takes the oath of office and delivers his inaugural address.
 He then disappears into the cap itol again and reappears accompa- nied by the congressional committee and rides down Pennsylvania ave- nue again, followed by soldiers and other organizations. Arriving at the White House the president usually enters for a few minutes and then takes his position on the reviewing stand and the paraders pass in review.
 The presidents final appeara nee is at night at the inaugural ball, and this is the function that at tracts pretty women from all over the United States in their finest gowns.
 General J. M. Wilson. retired, former chief of engineers, is chair man of the inaugural committee, and he has charge of all the impor- tant features of the inaugural. He is assisted by sub-committees. which work out the details. Gen. eral Wilson has appointed Lieuten- tant General A. R. Chaffee, chief of staff of the United States army to the post of grand marshal of the parade, and General Chaffee has made General Johnson. former ad- jutant general of the army, chief of staff.
