stand, who could hear him. The ap-
plause was particularly emphatic when
President Wilson declared THE scales
of heedlessness have fallen from our
eyes. We have made up our minds to
square every process of our national
life again with the standards we so
proudly set up at the beginning and
have always carried in our hearts
Our work is work Of restoration"
When congratulations were over
the justices Of the supreme court
members Of the retiring and incoming
cabinets, and others shook the hand
Of the new chief magistrate as he was
ushered to the carriage in front Of the
stand. Mr.. Taft followed him into the
carriage.
Taft Smile 10 Fixture.
His smile had not worn off and II
radiated over the crowd as the new
president doffed his hat to the pop
ulace when the procession started
There was hardly a minute during the
new presidents ride from the capitol
to the White House that he did not
hear a constantly rising chorus CT
cheers. AS his carriage passed UP
Pennsylvania avenue and those in each
section Of the densely crowded thor
president, the outbursts seemed to in
crease in volume and enthusiasm. The
mass Of humanity that crowded It's
way within seeing distance Of the
presidential carriage could not be pic
tured by numerical estimates for there
was hardly space on the avenue or its
tributary streets which was not filed
The buildings along the way seemed
fairly hidden by their human cover
ings, and the specially built steel
stands were crowded to overfiowing
Amid 1t all was profusion of decor
alton, ri-colored and elaborate, sc
that the buildings along the way were
fairly hidden behind 1t all.
Doffs His Hat.
President Wilson doffed his hat con-
tinuously in: recognition Of prolonged
ovations.
The ride from the White House tc
the capitol was brief but spectacular
The Essex troop Of New Jersey led
the presidential carriage, while the
Culver cadet troop Of Indiana escorted
Mr.. Marshall. Although the crowds
were not as demonstrative on this oc-
casion as they were on the return
journey from the capitol to the White
House, there was a cheering tribute
all along the line.
Lunches at White House.
It was nearly o'clock before Pres
ident Wilson returned to the White
House, where he partook of buffet
luncheon with $50 invited guests, in
Guiding members Of the new cabinet
and official folk generally.
The inaugural parade itself was q
delight to the new president, he said
afterwards, but II was an extraordi-
nary physical strain. President VIII
son and Vice President Marshall stood
side by side for nearly five hours
Members of their families sat behind
them, all intensely interested In the
civic organizations as they filed by.
Mrs. Wilson Cheers Georgians.
State pride brought forth a bow OF
friendly recognition when the New
Jersey organizations came by and Mrs
Wilson, who is a native Of Georgia
stood waving her handkerchief as the
cadets of the Georgia Military acad-
emy passed the stand.
The three Wilson girls, with the
president and Mrs. Wilson, did not
conceal their enthusiasm when the
Princeton students, more than 1000 OF
them, passed the presidential review
ing stand. The Princeton '1ocomo-
tive" cheer burst forth and Mr.. Wilson
waved his appreciation. ~
The various governors were cheer
ed as they passed. Governor Sulzer
Of New York, came by bowling on his
horse and sweeping his hat from side
to side in appreciation Of the applause.
Governor Mann, Of Virginia, was the
recipient of a big ovation too.
The seats Immediately behind the
president, vice president and their
families were occupied by many people
who are to be conspicuous in the new
administrator. William Jennings Bry-
an, the new secretary Of state, and
Mrs, Bryan were In the centre of the
new cabinet group. National commit
teemen, campaign celebrities and a
host of government officers were thera
and during the long parade they visit
ed each other frequently, chatting joy
ously.
In the stand just behind the presi-
dent were many Of his Princeton
friends, neighbors from his home town
and graduates Of the university. As
sociate Justice Mahlon Pitney and Cy-
rus H. Mccormick, Of Chicago, both OF
the midst of group Of the presi-
dents college chums.
Colonel House Ducks.
OF the men who actively helped Mr..
Wilson within his election who were
there, were Chairman William F. Nc
Combs and Treasurer Rolla Wells, of
the Democratic national committee,
There was one intimate adviser OF the
new president who saw q little OF the
parade and stole away as inconspicu-
ously as he came. He was Col. e. M
House. Of Austin, Texas, the man who
is said to have brought to the atten-
ton Of Mr.. Wilson at least three OF
the new cabinet. Colonel House, who
has a great affection for Mr.. Wilson,
did not go to the Inauguration cere-
monies; he did not even stay In the
presidential reviewing stand. He chat
ted a moment with Mr.. Bryan, saw
Mr.. Wilson, cheered him as the new
president of the United States, and
retired beaming with satisfaction.
Two White House Babies.
Two babies WHO probably win be
frequent visitors at the White House
sat in the presidential reviewing
stand, Miss Josephine Cothran, a
grandniece Of the president, and Miss
Virginia Howe, another grandniece OF
the president.
After the parade Mr.. Wilson was es.
corted back from the reviewing stand
to the White House by military and
naval aides. 1t was his first touch Of
the military in his home. He paused
for a moment embarrassed by the for
mality and the strangeness Of his sur
roundings.
Mr.. Wilson rested for an hour and
dressed for the dinner at a nearby no.
tel, given him by the class Of 1879 at
Princeton, Of which he Is member.
His family saw the fireworks from the
rear of the White House.
On the streets Of Washington to-
night the crowds flowed back and
forth in dense lines. The brilliantly
lighted thoroughfares presented a car
nival-like appearance and the merri-
ment and jubilation Of the visiting
throng continued until late hour.
Talks to Classmates.
President Wilson drove to the hotel
to attend the dinner of his classmates,
Princeton '79, without his aides and
attended only by the inevitable secret
service men. He was ushered quietly
into the hotel and disappeared through
the doors Of a private dining room.
Sounds of laughter and song told of
the delightful informality Of the gath
ering. The president made a speech,
but what he said to his classmates was
