Years." informing us that her gown for the
occasion was sent to Toxic to be embroidered,
"a pattern Of goldenrod" being outlined by a
silver thread and cleverly fitted into the long
lines Of the gown, and no other trimming be-
ing used except some lace with which the low
cut bodice was finished"
As to the occasion itself and the grand mo-
ment she says, Il proceeded on the Presidents
arm to the presidential box, this being small
round gallery above the main entrance Of the
great ball room.
"A brilliant almost kaleidoscope scene
spread before us The bright colors and
the CLEAN of women's gowns met and clashed
or harmonzed with the brighter colors Of the
diplomatic uniforms. Officers of the Army and
Navy in full regalia mingled with the hundreds

The practice Of holding the Inauguration

past and giving promise of protracted growth
into the future.
It seems almost paradoxcal, in the face of
that fact, to imply possibility Of a shift in
the site Of inaugurations.
The apparent condiction of statements is
reconciled, however, when it is pointed out
that plans for moving the east portico and
the steps which lead to 1t have long been under
consideration.
The fact of the matter is that the east frorA
Of the Capitol never has been completed to
conform with original plans. The portico
should extend an appreciably greater distance
to the eastward than it now does, those versed
In the architecture Of the Capitol declare.
Congressional appropriations have even been
made for the purpose Of drafting plans and
estimating costs Of extending the east front
distance Of several feet. Some plans have
called for the extension to be advanced to the

DOLK'S Inauguration saw three balls and
faux paux of magnificent proportions
the managers forgot to invite the foreign
diplomats! The oversight was quickly remedied,
however, by the creation of another ball to
which they were invited. The diplomatic corps
graciously overlooked the slip and everything
went as merry as a marriage bell"
The original ball at Carusi's set the high
water mark of $40 per ticket Never before had
such a price for tickets been asked, and the
public was indignant Henry Clay was manager
OF the ball at Carusis. The diplomatic ball"
was 81. and the third commanded price of 81.
