Ball Room Decoiations.
The dei'oratlons of the ball 100m h.id
yellow for their predominant tone. No
cumbersome effects of light, or color
were In evidence, but above and on all
sides Hit etched a av. ilppllng can
opy of yellow bunting thaivcoveied the
walls and skylight and was broken
only where the lining of the ptesldent's
b.ilcony at the west end stood out
white lu Iwld relief. Mytlads of ellow
electric bulbs glowed and blinked like
flic-tiles In the gai lands of gieen that
entwined the t.coies of pillars support
ing the gullorles nnd shone out ftnin
the stars and bais of the big American
shields, which In the midst of clusters
of Aineilcan Hags, hung high up In the
ct litre of each side of the immense
ciowded hall.
This scheme of decoiatlon with yel
low as the iill-picdomlnatlng color was
a radical deparlute from the decor
ative plan at the last Inaugural ball.
Then thiee great lloial bells, studded
with colored lights, wcie the most
piomlncnt featute of the woik. This
year the soft light effect given by thu
broad expanse of golden color every
where was in sharp and fax urn lilt1 con
trast. The subdued yellow glow fiom
the thousands of frosted electric bulbs
made the great hall as bright as at
midday.
The big fountain lu the center of the
hall held a billowy mass of the purple
Hougusvillca, the flower of the Philip,
pines. In the midst rose tall palms
and fetns. bearing scores of yellow
light blossoms, and around the bolder,
fringed with the white sphe.i, were
placed glided urns of growing plants
and (lowers.
In the extreme west of the hall stood
the president's balcony, decked with
groups of Roman wreaths and clusters
of American Ueauty roses, bound with
bilght-coloied ilbbons. Above the ex
ecutlve's .stand Hashed a big shield of
liand-embtoldery, Mlk-topped. with a
fine stult'ed specimen of the gieat
American eagle.
Down at the eastern end was the big
stand erected for the musicians. It
compiled an upper nnd lower stoiy,
the foimer for the sttinged orchestta
aud the latter for the accommodation
of the big inaugural chorus and the
brass band. Hack of the tlngeis nnd
musicians was a great gilded sounding
board, which threw the strains of
sound to all pints of the big hall. In
ftont stood a beautiful design sym
bolic of the Muse of Melody, In the
fchnpe ot 11 giant green lyre, with
sttings 01' purple ilbbons nntl on either
side cro-sed musical instruments, on
the lett a lute aud trumpet and on thu
