march, which was extended this time so as to reach the entire circuit of the hall, instead of the. short detour made last time.of but one halt of the building. A long line of escorts, the gentlemen of the Floor Committee, lined up all around . the court, making an aisle through which the president and Mrs. Taft,' the vice president and Mrs. Sherman, the secretary of state and

Mrs. Knox, and the others of the cabinet passed, the black coats of the living boundary making a good ton for the effective costumes of the women.; At the opposite end of the court the musicians' stand, occupying ' 40 feet, was in the shape of an ampitheater, and held the orchestra of the Marine band. The seats rose in tiers above one another, the whole towering up toward the vaulted canopy, a height of 40 feet or more, and was surmounted by tropical plants and flowers framing . a decorative vista. . Mrs. Taft' Striking Attire. . The gowns of the most conspicuous personages attracted universal attention. Mrs. Tafts was of white satin brocaded la silver, made In a .modified empire style. V Greek. In design, with a Greek border edging the draped tunic, which opened 'over a petticoat fleet on the side of silver tissue. ; Sil-

snbroldery ornamented the front

of the corsage and sleeves. . Her ornaments were diamonds and pearls, Mrs. Sherman, .wife of the vice president, also bad a gown of heavy white and silver brocade, the figures of which were oak leaves, being of a delicate shimmery silver, hardly discernible in some lights. This was made with a broad panel effect front and back, the panel in the back falling from the shoulders with much the same effect as a court train. Panels of silver tissue trimmed the sides -of the gown, the heavy satin being ornamented on the edges where it fell away from the silver gauze with embroidery of silver. This embroidered edge finished the long train as well and silver ornaments and embroidery1 trimmed the corsage. Her jewels were pearls. ; : Mrs. Knox, wife of the secretary of state, wore a superb modified dlrec-

toire made of soft shimmering satin, of the palest of pink. This was veiled with a tunic of pink and white crystal 'beads in an elaborate design, the pattern emphasized here and there with pearls. - This tunic was slit on each side and opened over a panel of heavy cream gipure lace, the sides laced together across the lace panel , with cord and tassel of pink and white beads. The corsage wes finished with a lattice trimming of the beads, which also formed the tight short sleeves. With this Mrs. Knox wore a single strand of pearls about her throat. Mrs. ', Nicholas Longworth, whose husband la still a member of the house of representatives, if her father is no longer president, and is therefore a prominent figure of official life, wore a directoire gown-of dull gold brocaded satin, made very dose and clinging, the heavy satin being quite unadorned , except for the corsage, and

shoulder trimming. Here bands of cloth of gold formed the principal motif of the trimming, and' were edged and overlapped with embroidery in

gold and black. She wore a dog col

lar of diamonds and long pendant ear

rings of pearls. -

Miss Winifsed Simlster, a mission

ary from China will be honor guest at an informal company to be given

' ; J J Washington, March 4. The gowns

at the inaugural ball tonight probably surpassed those worn on any other

similar occasion. Mrs. Taft's gown

was one of the handsomest models ever seen in Washington. A, severely

plain underdress of heavy white satin

formed the .foundation. Over this was draped with consummate skill the

gown of white chiffon on which an ex

quisite pattern of golden rod, the na

tional color, was embroidered in sil

ver. The golden rod design was re

peated in the embroidery of the long

court train. Point lace formed the

sleeves and served to trim the decolle

tage. She wore a pearl dog collar and

a diamond aigret in her hair.

Miss Helen Taft wore a girlish gown

of white embroidered mousseline de

sole, made with extreme simplicity.

Knots of pale blue ribbon gave an ar

tistic touch to the frock. Her abund

ant light hair was simply coiled and

she wore no jewelry:

Mrs. Sherman's gown was one of the most beautiful costumes seen at the ball. '.. On a foundation of heavy white

satin a tunic of white lace heavily em

broldered in silver and crystal fell in graceful folds. In place of a decolletage the upper part of the bodice showed a draped scarf effect of the silver tissue, and the silver crystal motifs

were repeated in the long train and closely fitting sleeves. She wore a single diamond ornament in her coiffure and a diamond brooch. Mrs. Sherrill Sherman, wife of the son of the incoming vice president, wore a white lace directoire gown over white satin, a diamond necklace and other diamond ornaments. Mrs. Thomas Sherman, another daughter-in-law, appeared in a white lace princess gown with pearl and diamond ornaments. j j .
