Washington, March 4.-On account
Of a terrific snoWstorm, which at
times assumed blizzard-like proper
tous. many changes were made IN
connection with the program arrang-
ed for the Inauguration of William
Howard Taft, Of Ohio, as president Of
the United States. The oath was
taken in the senate chamber instead
of on the portico of the capitol. The
precauton was deemed necessary,
with the disastrous results of the Sec
ond Cleveland inauguration still fresh
in the minds of many of those con-
nected with the exercises today. On
that occasion Washington was visited
by a similar storm to the one which
ragged today and many Of those who
participated died later Of pneumonia.
Following the Inauguration ceremo-
nios that year an agitation developed
to have following inaugurations held
on April 80 or some time in May, but
congress did not take any action in
the matter.
Those who reached Washington be-
fore last night awoke today to find
the whole city covered in heavy
blanket of snow, and the storm is still
raging. The hundreds of trains which
raging. The hundreds of trains which
every inauguration day were held up,
and for hours the city was cut off
from communication with the outside
world.
Mr.. Taft said he did not mind the
snow and wind in the least, but Sen
ator Knox, in charge of the program,
declared it would be unwise to SUBJ
iect the aged chief justice and older
members to adverse weather condi-
tons. President Roosevelt and Mr..
Taft were escorted to the capitol
promptly at the hour set this morn
ing, their progress through binding
snow being met with cheers from the
thin fringe of hardy spectators who
braved the elements and stood ankle
deep in snow and slush along Penn
sylvania avenue.

capitol building at II am, and were

stick tied with red, white and blue
ribbons, and these were waved when
ever there appeared to be any call
for enthusiasm.
The inauguration proper took place
at the capitol. Here was the Mecca
of those fortunate enough to secure
the necessary tickets which entitled
the holders to admission TO the great
old buildings, whose massive dome is
visible from every section of the city.
Inside everything was animation be-
fore the ceremonies were begun. The
interest was in the senate wing, for
it was in that part Of the building, in
the famous chamber of the upper
house, that the iaugural program was
to be begun.
The senate galleries filled rapidly
when they were opened to ticket hold
ers. By IL o'clock all the seats were
taken except a few in the CONSTRUCTED
space reserved for the diplomatic
corps, and half the chairs in the ex-
ecutive gallery, in which the presi-
dents wife, children and invited
guests and the vice-president's wife
and family were to sit.
Women occupied nearly all the gal
lery seats. Here and there poor
lone man among them was brought
sharply into relief through his con-
ventional black in framework of fe-
male gorgeousness. Some of the
women wore white, but most were
dressed in gay colors. A majority Of
them were the wives and the daugh-
ters of senators and representatives.
The man or woman who happened to
be on the best terms with a member
of congress whose wife and family
were not in town was fortunate in
deed.
Down on the floor the senators sat
around and told stories while they
waited for the ceremonies to begin
The big comfortable leather armchairs
in which they sit at other times had
been removed and plain cane seated
affairs of the kind used in lecture
halls had been substituted. These un
pretentious seats had been placed as
closely as possible together behind
the rows Of desks.
Back of the last row on both sides
of the chamber more chairs were
crowded in. The chairs to the right
of the presiding officers rostrum were
empty and looked all the lonelier in
contrast with the animated space on
the other side of the chamber. Here
all the senators sat crowded in to-
gether, republicans and democrats
those who were just about to leave
the national legislature and those who
were about to succeed them.
Following the gathering Of the
presidential party, which consisted OF
Mrs Taft and the Taft children and
many relatives and invited friends, the
senate passed a resolution of thanks
to its presiding officer Charles P.
Fairbanks, and the Sixtieth congress
breathed its last, so far as any formal
transactions were concerned. Speaker
Cannon at the head of the members
of the house came next, followed by
the diplomats in all their glory of
brilliant uniforms, and the black-robed j
justices of the supreme court of the
United States.

this sort which has just been imported has high
Empire skirt of very thin linen embroidered with
simple aover design Around the foot the skirt has
a very deep band of elaborate embroidery which is
finished in deep scalops. Beneath this there two
narrow rules of the material of the gown which Is
more like linen batiste than linen proper. From the
top of the skirt to the band of embroidery around the
foot there panels of plain linen with rows
of embroidery on either side
The bodice of this gown is cut with round neck,
little low. There is simulated yoke formed OF
teal tucks and trimmed with three bands of narrow
embroidery carried around the yoke at equal inter
walls. Beneath this yoke the bodice is quite full

trimmed with bands of embroidery tucking and
tiny frills set on horizontally
Another equally charming white linen gown is
in a princess effect, but so much trimmed that the
painness usually connected with the princess idea is
entirely lacking.
The front panel is made of fine tucked linen with
horizontal bands of Valencennes lace strapping the
entire panel from neck to hem. There is small
square chemsete and high collar of the Vaenciennes
Broad bands of heavy embroidery brought
the shoulders down each side of the front panel
At the bottom of the skirt these bands connected
by crosspiece of the embroidery.
The entire back of the gown is handsomely
broidered. From just below the armhoe the back
and side panelled by delicate embroidered vines
which extend to the cross trimming of the skirt.
Heavy embroidery constitutes this trimming,
which is carried from front panel to the other
around the back of the skirt just above the knees.
The garment fastens under the side panel and is
fectly tight fitting down to this trimming. Be
meath this there is fuller skirt deliberately
broidered and extending int fair sized train The
sleeves of this costume long and close fitting. The
upper part is made of fine tucked linen trimmed with
braids of lace Beneath this upper sleeve, which
tends below the elbow, there is tight undersleeve
of Valenciennes, fastening at the side with fril
and which reaches well over the hand.

Tight little Directoire bows trim the front of the
