SIMPLICITY TO
MARK HARDING'S INAUGURAL

meeting to discuss the situation.
Social queens and princesses threw
the modiste and millinery establish
ments into panic by sudden cancel
lation Of orders for gawns and head
dress for the inaugural ball.
Bonifaces Dismayed
Hotel proprietors, asking $50 a day
for hunks In rooms fronting on Penn
sylvania avenue. were in the throes
of despair. Lumber dealers. and
grandstand builders were dazed at
the unexpected blow, and souvenir
concessionnaires we're downcast.
The meeting OF the citizens inaug-
ural committee was a mournful af-
fair. Some fiery spirits were for ig-
noring Mr.. Harding's request. and
one evening newspaper placed an edi-
ton onthe streets calling upon Wash
ingtonians to rise and go ahead with
the inaugural plans. The moderate
majority. however. decided that Mr..
Harding, the person to be inaugu-
rated should be respectedas "the COM
mander-in-chief." and that his wishes
should be carried out. The report of
the finance committee chairman
showed that $115.000 had been re-
ceived in subscriptions from citizens.
This will be returned to the subscrib-
ers.
Senator H%arding's action was al
most universally commended in
Congress. Those who had been de-
handing inaugural simplicity were
particularly elated.
