WOMAN’S

CAN NEVER BE

WITHOUT
LUXURIANT HAIR
A head of luxuriant hair is sure to
be attractive But nature has not
crowned ev-rv woman with glorious
hair. Some very lovable women with
handsome faees she has treated rather
scantily In this respect.
For instance, there are tens of thous
ands of women in America today who .
have harsh, fad* d and lusterless hair, j
who are unattractive -imply because 1
they do not know that nowadays even 1
the whims of nature can be overruled
by the genius of science.
If you are a woman without beauti- j
ful hair) do not permit your attrac- |
tlons to be hidden because of tin's slight !
misfortune. Just make up your mind
now that you ‘-an have just as luxuri- I
ant and beautiful a head of hair as any
other woman, and quickly, too.
It's such a simple matter to just go
to E. G. Fowler and buy a large hot- *
tie of Parisian Sage for r.o <•. nts. use
It each night for a few days, and you ,

Description of Reviewing
Stand Where President Stood
Washington, March 4—Almost from
time Immemorial, the newly-elected
President of the United States has re
viewed the inaugural parade from a
stand in front of the White House.
It is fitting that this should, be made
the focal point of the great function.
Here, from Fifteenth Street to Seven
teenth Street, on Pennsylvania Avenue,
the Taft Inaugural Committee has de
signed a Court of Honor, which. In
symbolic effect and beauty of con
struction. surpasses all previous efforts
In street decorative work in the Na
tional Capital.
This work has been the particular
care of the Committee on Street Decor
ations. of which £. W. Dunn. Jr., la the
chairman. Associated with him are
many architects of national repute.
They have collaborated and after much
study have produced a scheme which is
a master-piece of architectural art.
In nearly every instance heretofore,
the criticism has been that the decor
ations of the Court of Honor were too
sombre. There was not enough of the
character of the celebration of victory,
not enough of the character of a Joy
ous beginning of an eventful era. This
has been avoided In the present court
of Honor. The decfirators have ex
passed admirably the!?- Idea. The re
sult is a superb decorative schema,
beautiful in design and finish, and
thoroughly typical of the strength and
prosperity of the country.
Court of Honor.
From Fifteenth Street to Seven
teenth Street there is a stretch of
aboue 1.800 feet. Pennsylvania Avenue,
between these points, is Intersected by
two cross streets, Madison Place on
the east and the axis of the White
House and Jackson Place on the west
On the axis of the White House and
Jlrectly in front of it, is the Presi
lent’s reviewing stand, accommodating
ipproximateiy 3,000 people, and oppo
site to It is the Lafayette Square stand,
tccommodatlng about 8.000 people. The
stands are designed artistically and.
ilthough only temporary, are in keep
ng with the architectural treatment of
:he Court of Honor.
Venetian masts, surmounted with
Silt flowers and festooned with gaily
-oiored streamers, extend the entire
ength of both sides of Pennsylvania
Avenue They are spaced thirty feet
ipart and are Joined together with
looped garlands of laurel leaves anti
| flowers. At the intersection of Madl
| son Place and Jackson Place, on each
of the four corners are large Pylons,
flfty feet high: These pylons have the
form of massive Doric columns on tajl
pedestal^ arid wide-spreading basis.
Eight ifi number, they form, as it were,
the entrance, and exit gates (if the
0<>urt of Honor.
' The pylons are constructed of frame
work and stuff, palrttetk wftlte and cer
tain portions of the staff ornament Is
! gilded. AH of the columns are decor
ated with laurel leaf, flowers and gild
ed rope. At the base of each column
is a cartouche with the American eagle
bearing a trophy of silk flags. Around
each pylon are Venetian masts arrang
ed in a circle and on them are trophies
with the gilded American eagle perch
ed on a golden label bearing the
names of Taft and Stterman, alternate
ly. Below the names is a bas-relief
portrait of Taft and Sherman.
^ Garlands of Flonrr*.
The pylons at each street intersect
ion have stretched between them and
diagonally at a height of forty feet
aboye the ground, laurel leaf garlands
of massive size, and festooned below
the garlands of leaves are smaller
garlands of flowers. At given points,
the garlands are ornamented with
gilded discs with looped gilded rope
, and tassels. In the center of each span,
directly over the center of the street,
are limrnense trophies of the seal of the
United States. The diagonal festoons
have at their Intersection an Immense
white ball ornamented with looped
garlands of exquisite green, studded
with etectric lamp's. White and green
constitute the official colors of the en
tire Inaugural ceremony. —
Each pylon Is surmounted with a
huge glided basket filled with palms
and flowers and lighted with incandes
cent lamps. A line of electric lamps
extends along every festoon or gar
land, so that at night the general lino
of the decorations will be preserved lt>
all of their artistic beauty.
Wherever the American flag Is used
It Is used properly, breaking free to
the wind or grouped in form of tro
phies. The general color schemas,
of white and green Is preserved, how
ever, and natural greens and white
flowers have been employed in prodi
gal profusion. It was regarded that as
a background for the brilliant stream
ers and flagi. no more beautiful com
bination of colors was possible. "

up the steps to the desk of the Vice- (
President and was given a seat on his
I right. There the oath of office was ad- .
I ministered to hi in by Vice-president
| Fairbanks, thin being the first of the '
functions performed after the gather
j <>f the assemblage. Mr. Fairbanks
raised his right hand and Mr. Sherman
assumed a like position. The words of
! the oath of office were pronounced in j
i a clear resounding voice and the re- j
; sponse was distinctly heard in every
portion of the chamber, where, except y{
| as it was broken by the voices of the !
; officials themselves, quiet reigned su
1 pretne for the lime. The ceremony
was simple, but of tense interest, and
spectators were <luly impressed.
As Mr. Sherman lowered his, right
hand it was grasped in congratulation
by iris predecessor and a ripple of ap
plause was heard*throughout the gal
leries .
At the instance of Senator Culber
i son, chairman of tlie Democratic cau
cus, the Senate adopted the following
resolutions expressive of its apprecia
tion of tiie able and impartial man
ner in which the Vice-President had
presided over that body during four
1 years, as follows;
’’Resolved, That the thanks of the
Senate are hereby tendered to Hon.
Charles W. Fairbanks for tha dignified
Impartial and courteous manner in
which he has presided over Its delib
orations during the present session.”
Fairbanks** Farewell. r
Mr. Fairbanks delivered his fare
well .address, referring with evlden
emotion to the uniform support thai
i-ad been given him, and to the pleas
ant associations throughout his ad
ministration. Following is the tex
of his speech:
“Senators:—Again a new administra
tion succeeds to the control of national
affairs In conformity tfith the will ol
the people, expressed in their sovereign
capacity, under the orderly processe
of the law. We witness the lmprMfctvc
transference of national power in ac
cordance with their will deliberate^
recorded, with increased respect fol
our institutions. •
"We indulge the fervent hope thai
the administration which assumes au
thority under such agreeable ausplcei
will meet in full measure our nationa
needs; that we may continue In happ]
accord with the powers of the world
that peace, contentment, and progresi
may prevail throughout our borders
and that our country may grow In ma
terial strength; and more than thai
and better than that, that education
morality* justice, and patriotism, whicl
are our chief sources of pride, maj
continue to increase among our peo
ple.
“It now becomes my duty to take
final leave of you; and in doing so ]
beg to return to you my profoundest
thanks for the resolution which yot
have just adopted, personal to myself
To receive a vote of your approval
without division is an honor which J
shall carrv with me to the end of m>
days and transmit to my children as
a priceless legacy.
“In these latter days much severe
criticism is heard of the Senate of the
United States, but it has always been
so since the time of our fathers, and
that it will continue 1 have no doubt.
The record of the Senate, to which Its
present membership has contributed, is
made afad is beyond recall. I know of
none better made by any legislrti\e as
sembly anywhere. In my jut! ent It
will stand comparison with thw record
of tne Senate in its elder days. It has
been written bv men learned in the
science of government, inspired by as
pairiotic purposes as actuated their il
lustrious predecessors.
“The Senate of the United States
must remain an important part of a
thoroughly independent, co-ordinate
branch of the government, nelthft/
arrogating to itself functions not de
voiced upon It under the Constitution
nor, upon the other hand, subtracting
from its legitimate powers. Its legis
lative duties are vast, while Its duties
with respect to treaties and appoint
ments to the public service are of very
great moment. A servile Senate was
not contemplated by Its founders. Thh
Senate Is today as jealous us ever of
iiH proper dignities and its just pow
ers anu us worthy as ever of the pop
ular respect and confidence.
Look* Into Future,
“It requires no gift of prophecy to
foretell that many varied and com
plex questions will come here for solu
tion in the not very distant future—
questions which will have a potential
bearing upon the very structure of
republican government and an Import
ant influence upon our social and in
rtustrial systems. To you who shall re
main, and to your successors, the coun
try w'lll look, and I believe it will look
with confidence, for a solution which
W'ill be in harmony with the genius
of American institutions and which
will comport with ou* best national in
terest.
'The Senate, It Is sometimes said, lx
not always responsive to the populai
will. Such assumption is erroneous.
Judging1 by the rectord of legislation
accomplished. The will of the people
finds utterance in the public law in
due course; not that will which is the
unreasoning passionate expression of
the moment, but that will whlcn is the
fruit of deliberate, intelligent reflect'
Ion.
“The Senate of the United States was
designed by our fathers to be a dellb
erative chamber in th*3 fullest and
best sense—a chamber where the pas
eious of the hour might be arrested
and where the better judgment of the
people would And ultimate expression
Those who in their unreflecting mo
merits would sweep it away would ov«n
turn one of the strongest safeguards of
dut political fabric.
“I can not sever the personal ti^»
which have been formed here without
deep emotion. I am your grateful debt
or tor countless courtesies and kind
nesses, and to your generous assist
ince and thoughtful forbearance I am
Indebted for whatever success mat
rave attended my efforts as President
:>f the Seiiat*
“It gives me pleasure to acknowi
sdge the very great assistance which
.he Chajr has always received from the
pffleefs of the Senate and from these
•ffleient, faithful gentlemen at the
leak.
“For the able and distinguished citi
zen who has been chosen by the peo
ole to succeed me I| bespeak that con
slderate and effective support which
^ou have given to me.
“I wish for you each many years of
strength and devotion to the interests
)f our common country whose welfare
md whose honor you have sought »«*
rafeguard and advance with cease
ess vigilance and unvarying fidelity
“Under the operation of law we have
•eaelved the close of the Sixtieth Can
press, and it becomes the duty of the
Jhair to declare, the Senate adjourned
vitbout day.”
As soon as Mr. -Fairbanks had com
peted his remarks a motion to adjourn
he Senate sine pie was adopted.
Sherman Taken Gavel.
The gavel was then presented to the
lew Vice-President and Mr. Sherman
it once called to order the Senate of
he Sixty-first Congress, which had
net in obedience to the Presidential
jroclamation convening an extraor
linary session. Rev. Edward Ever
•tte Hale, the distinguished chaplain,
dad in a heavy silken robe, rescin
ding the gowns worn by the Justices
»f the Supreme Court of the United
states, invoked the divine blessing,
tnd in conclusion requested the entire
assemblage to join in pronouncing the
.ord’s Prayer. The response was not
ery general, but to the extent that it
vas the occasion resembled, for a
,rief time, a religious rather than an
►fficial ceremony.
Dz. Hale’s prayer was as follows;
“I will multiply my people, they shall
lot be few.
“I will glorify them, and they shall
lot be small.
“Th#ir congregation shall be estab
ished before me;
■And I will punish all that oppress
hem. t
••Their noblps shall be from them
elvos and tneir governor from the
nidst of them.
**I will cause him to draw negr,
“And he shall approach unto me.
“And ye shall be my people and I
vi 11 be your God.
“The law shall not depart from them.
“He thou strong ami of good cour
se;
•For the Eord thy God is with thee
vithersoever thou goest.
“Father Almighty, this nation is in
uayer before Thee today. We thank
fhee for Thine untold mercies in the
mst, for Thy guidance to our Fathers
nd Thy protection and blessing ex
ended to them. And we ask Thee
or the days before us, for the same
dossing, protection and care. Our
jovernors are from ourselves and our
ulers from the midst of us. Thy ser
•ants whom this people have appoint
d to execute their laws need and ask

“We pray foy them, for the people,
hat this may be that happy nation
vhose God is the Lord; that every man
flay bear his brothers burden, that
,Very man may follow In our JVTaster's
ootsteps. all living for each and each
icing for all."
tgpe-eesh <>f Sherman.
The proclamation of the President
convening the Senate in extra session j
pas then read and the Vice-President
lelivered his inaugural address. Mr.
Sherman said:
“Senators—There is no need to re*
site the history of this great legisla
tive body, proud of it though we be;
:mr yet to suggest methods which
night in coming time enhance its use
fulness. The world knows the one and
i'ou understand the other.
“In a government for and by the
people the necessity of clearly defin
ing the rights and limitations of the
several branches thereof is manifest.

the far sightedness and wisdom of the
framers of that Instrument which has
furnished the foundation ot our legis
lative action. The Vice President Is
not one of the makers of the law. His
duties are rather to regulate In this
body the method of making them; to
regulate, not in accord with'his will
and Ideas, but in accord with rules
which you yourselves have established.
It Is for the presiding officer to require
you to act In conform jy with your self
imposed regulations j.ist as it is the
duty of the Supreme Court to deter
mine if your action is In accord with
the Constitution. Two decades of ser-t1
vice in this Capitol, though not In this
Chamber, have Impressed me with the
weight of Senatorial responsibility, and
the value of Senatorial duty well done.
It is neither well to minimize the for
mer nor exaggerate the latter, but to
have both ever In mind.
"I am aware that the great burden
is on your shoulders, not mine. I do
not, however, fall to realize that I ha^at
duties to perform which require indus
try, a clear mind and a controlled tem
per. I shall strive to perform such
duties with courtesy, Impartiality and
fairness.
"I am Inducted into the Vice Presi
dency with appreciation of the dignity
and honor of the lofty placewind with
pleasureable anticipation of close as
sociation with men of high ideals and
patriotic purpose.
“I accept, sir. from your hand the
gavel with the earnest'Tiope that I
may measure up to the standard you
have set and if I do I feel that I shall
have met the'expectations of the most
exacting.”
