HE FASHIONABLE SETS DANCED MERRLY THROUGH THE WEE
Leap Year Passes But Ranks
Of Diplomatic Eligibles
Are Still Fairly Intact

against the solid wall adjoining the
station as 1t will be warmer over
there for the ladies in their ball
gowns.
OLD POSTOFFICE
ALSO CONSIDERED.
The next place in the preference
Of the committee is the old city
pOstoitice at Twelfth and Pennsyl-
vania avenue, but that isn't as US
able as the station. Third and last,
under consideration is the old Con-
Vention Hall and armory at Sixth
street which is in pretty bad shape
but which the committee could rem
ovate. II they do they will put
more entrances and exits to the old
hall in case of accidents, panic and
so forth. But all this will be set
tied some time this week. Tickets
for grandstands to view the parade
can be bought in about a fortnight
from those who will be placed all
day at each stand to sell the tickets
You see the inaugural committee in
charge of stands has sold leases
along the route Of the parade to
men, mostly contractors. who will
erect the stands and sell the seats
themselves. AS soon as they start
building the seats will be placed on
sale, the purchaser selecting from
a diagram in about two weeks.
The stands will be getting under
way in about two weeks, but won't
be completed for 80 or 40 days:
within about ten or fifteen days be-
fore the Fourth of March. The
stand committee is going to erect
just one stand, that opposite the
Presidents reviewing stand and the
White House along Lafayette
Square on Pennsylvania avenue.
That will be for the use Of the in
augural committee but other people
can buy seats there also and can
get them through Corcoran Thorn,
chairman OF the grandstand COM
mittee at the American Security and
Trust Company, but not for about
another fortnight.
