him into the carriage. His smile had
not worn off, and it radiatcd over the

There hardly vas a minute of the
new presidents ride from the capitol
to the White House in which he did
not hear a constantly rising chorus
of cheers, The mass of humanity that
crowded its way within seeing distance
of the presidents carriage could not
be estimated, bat there was hardly a
space on Pennsylvania avenue or its
tributary streets which was not filled.
The buildings along the route were
fairly hidden by their human cover
ings and the espccially-built street
stands We're crowded to overlooking.
A profusion of decorations. vari-col-
ored and elaborate, so covered the
buildings along the way as fairly to
hid them.
