MASONRY'S MOST IMPOSING CEREMONY nights of Pythian Doings Throughout the State-Modern Woodmen and Woodmen of the World Both Prosperous Dolngs of the Week In the Lodges. A funeral service was held in the darkness of night at Kansas City by the Knights of Kadosh Scottish Rite Masons over the body of their brother, Edwin A. Allen, ex-city pouncilman of Omaha, who died at Chadron, Neb. The service was the prescribed cere- ony for the dead in the thirtieth degree he shadows of death joined the shadows of night in producing the somber imores- slons of the service, The curtains of the cathedral at the top were tightly drawn, that not even & ray from the stars above might penetrate the gloom of the funcral chaml The dim candles in their tall stands seemed only to make the outlines of things more weird In the center of the cathedral the dead lay. At the head of the coffin was a large tri angle that filled the hall with startling reverberations when the commander struck Nt and put a voice into the mouth of ever separate shadow. Back of the triangle a candle burned onthe bible stand, on one side a candle lighted the commander's small table and on the other side a stand on which avis placed a silver bowl of water was Nighted by a single flame. At the left of the lcoftin three candles made a triangle and at he foot there was another triangle of apers. At the right side seven candles sur- rounded a white, gloaming skull, which wore | @ laurel wreath, Other than these no other lights broke the shroud of darkuness. Two guards with {folded arms silently paced to_and fro beside |the coffin, They ‘wore peaked cowls and long black cloaks. The visitors entered the dark gallery quietly and took seats. The stillness was unbroken sav jonally the floor creaked where walked. At nine o'clock they nmber and disappeared behind black curtains. Then the organ in the gal- fery was heard in solemn trémbling tone iving out the satd requiem of the dead. Its ones softly rose and fell in mournful lamen tations; the weird minor notes with their ‘Dburden of woe spoke forth the sorrow of the knights at the death of th brother, and tenderly the organ breathed its melody of 3 ¥ to relatives of the dead m the box Bt the left of the curtain As the organ was playing there entered a Joournful procession of ‘knights m cowls and tloaks bearing candles.

He announced that they gathered to pay the last honor to the dead, but befor burial they must sit in judgment on his and he asked for anyone who knew ill of the dead brother to speak fortt The responsive service followed. In the fourteenth degree the candidate is given a plain band ring, the symbol of eter- nity, and this he wears' till death, giving it then to a loved friend to wear in his memory “The first lieutenant turned to Frank R.

CLEVELAND'S GOWN DESCRIBED Interesting Gosslp About the Ladies Who Will Participate in That High Social Function and Whose Greatest Charm Will Be Beauty and Fine Ralment. Wasmixarox, D. C., Feb. 2. —[Special to Tur Ber.]—Over §10,000 will be spent on the decorations of the rooms at the time of the inaugural ball. The pension office will be touched with the magic of decorator, flluminator and florist. The walls and ceil- ings will be thick with bunting, flags and streamers. The frescoed walls, the great pillars, will blossom like gardens; palms will range themselves in luxuriant grace in every corner and nook, and amid all will gleam the | radiance of thousands of electric lights. It | will be a scene to enthuse the eye and glad- all the sense of the beautiful. The music will pulsate from end to end. Orchestra | will call to orchestra, and music will flood all the galleries and court. There will be nothing lacking to make a brilliant setting. Yet where would all this be without the gor- geously gowned beautics and famous women women came garbed in sober black or brown, the managers of the hall would consider the ure. After all, the gowns are really a most important feature, not ouly to the women themselves but also to the tradesmen and dressmakers of the country, for if there is anywhere near the number of people pres- | ent this year who attended the last ball,four | years ago, there will be fully 8,000 women there, whose wardrobes will represent easily over £00,000, and their jewels will represent quite as much more. As this will be distributed all over the country, it is not uly Washington that benefits by such a grand occasion, but every state gains some- thing from the elaborate dressing. The gowns that the wives of presidents have worn at the inauguration valls have been the very best examples of American work and there have been few who have cared 1o call on the resources of importers to furnish them. Of course, it is only within a few years that it was possible to secure sat- isfactory silks for materials, but Americ tulent was called upon by most of the wives to make up the goods. Mrs. Grant's i uration ball gowns were always ele dresses. Mrs. Hayes created something of a sensation by refusing to appear in decollete gowns. Miss Clevelund on the oce: the former inauguration ball crea biggest kind of a sensation by appearing in u gown the like of which had never been worn by the first lady in the land at any in- auguration ball. The dress was high in the neck and the sleeves were long, and there her more obsefved than if she had been crusted with diamonds, Mrs. Harrison showed her intense patriot- ism by having the silk for her inauguration gown especially woven for it in an American silk works and by having the design especi- ally emblematic of the country. And now curiosity is on tip-toe again over another in- auguration ball cown, For weeks the dress- makers all over the land have been turning out their loveliest confections for appearance at the ball in Washington and everybody is curious to know what everybody else is going to wear. The curiosity has been particularly di- rected to what the bright particular star of the occasion would wear and half the women folk who propose to attend the ball would give a good deal to know what she will choose for the occasion It hus always been customary for the in- auguration wardrobe of the president's wife to-be known weeks beforehand and thor- oughly digested by all the women of the country. But Mrs. Cleveland has taken | another course and the women at Lakewood have had their hands full trying to get some clew as to what sort of gown she will appear in at the inauguration bail. But Mrs. Cleve- Iana declines to give even the slightest hint and toall hints and direct questions turns the most unmindful styleof an ear. The beauty has been hanging for a month in s wardrobe in the little white house, vat the faintest detail has not been divulged. Indeed, the making of the gown has excited more curiosity than any other dress t has been manufactored in this country since bloomers were tried on a long suffering pub- lic. It has become the great Lakewood conundrum, second only in impcrtance to the cabinet question. As s is the first inaug- ural gown that the public has had to tax its curiosity upon, everything connected with it is interesting. Mrs. Cleveland nearly stole a march on the village and the women came near never knowing what a momentous job was being done in their midst. During January there arrived one day at the Lake wood hotel a quite elegantly dressed lady, accompanied by o beautiful littie girl and a nurse. The woman spoke Inghsh with a Freuch accent, and the little girl became a pet in the house immediately., The lady had registered as Madame C——. She “vas visible very little during the day about the hotel and attracted little tion. Then one night a new ar; to speak to her and greeted her by the name of oue of New York's leading modistes, To the surprise of the women they found Elise Stauffer, Mrs. Cleveland's dressmaker, had been in their midst, and they had been quite unconscious of it. Of course, every woman in the place was all eyesand ears, They surmised Stauffer was there to look after the inauguration trousseau and every individual woman organized herself into an investiga- tion committee of onme. Chambermaids were interviewed and everybody else that had access to the dressmaker's rooms in the hotel. Mme. Stauffer her- self was the most sought_after person in the house, and if the little blue-eyod girl didn't receive a feting, then it was because some people don't know what that means. When it became certain that the dress and no scrap of it was in the hotel, Stauffer became the point of attack and every ruse known to women and tonewspaper men was tried on her, but in vain. The madame had before her eyes coustantly a solemn promise Mr. Cleveland himself had exacted of her that she would not even let anyone know that | she made the gowns until they had been orn. So Stauffer kept her peace, and even this day, if questioned as to them, says with round innocent eyes, “I'm sure 1 don't know anything about it at all. I'm sure I | couldn’t give you any information as to who made them. 1I'm 80 sorey I can't help you.” For a couple of weeks it was the most in- | teresting little farce that has been played winter resort this year. And Stauffer steamed away from Lakewood, leaving be- hind her a lot of puzzled women, who haven't found out yet whether the inauguration ball dress was at Lakewood or not. But it was, for in spite of the close watch kept on her movements Mme. Stauffer managed to elude the sharp eyes, and every day slipped away | over to the Cleveland cottage. ‘the great | gown has been completed for several weeks, but the details are not known to any but one or two of Mrs. Cleveland's most intimate friends. Still, enough is known to furnish a very good idea of what it is like Mrs, Cleveland is at once the despair of a dressmaker and her delight. She herself cares nothing about what she wears, and goes for months without trying on a single gown that is made for her. She has such an | imposing figure that modistes delight to | dress her, I opinions are very nounced as to what she will and w will not wear, and the inauguration gown, while designed especially for her, refleccs her own taste, The mat al is a heay handsowe silk, rich in coloring but delic in design. She has allowed her fondness for colors to overweigh the general popularity | of white for a ball gown for the first lady of the land on such an occasion, and has se. lected a combination of colors in which hydrangea shades are predominant. The | #oods were not purchased expressly for the oceasion, but were selected early last fall for | an cvening dress. After the election Mrs Olevelund decided that they were suitable for her inauguration ball dress, particularly as the goods gratitied her taste both in color | aud daintiness of design. The skirt is very simple, gored and quite full at the bottom. | FIR “Give them bargains, now, such as you never did before.” This 1s the order of the insurance companies to the clerks at the MISFIT CLOTHING PARLORS 1809 Farnam Street.

The corsage s ' only medium low, with wide bretelles and the drooping shoulders that have recently come in. It is thoroughly American, although the goods were not manufactured especially for ~her. The curiosity to know if the president's wife would appear in crinoline at the ball can be set at rest. The skirt of the gown she wears will be well stiffened with crino- line, but there are no wires and no hoop- skirt accompaniments. Mrs. Clevelaud is not at all extravagant in her expenditures for dress, and this ball gown is one that can be worn frequently afterwards. Aunother pretty dress that forms part of the outfit sne has arranged for Washington is a silver g and pink illuminated .surah silk. The design is a geometrical mosslike figure that covers the silk solidly. This is made for a dinner gown, and has short puffed sleeves with a Dbertha of lace on the corsage. Stilla third dress is of black and pink brocade, close fitting, the skirt being trimmed with three ruffies of black satin ribbou. She has secured only a few dresses now be- cause the season after the inauguration will not be long or very gay, and as there will be no state levees evenings such olegance of dress is not demanded this season. Next in importance to Mrs, Cleveland comes the vice president's wife, Mrs. Ste- venson, who, although not a lavish dresser, has exquisite taste and is always daintily dressed. 4 She has selected a camel’s hair cloth for the materials of the dress she will wear to the ceremonies at the capitol. The color is a soft gray. The skirt is slightly gored and stiffened and trimmed with folds of brown velvet, which also forms the material of the big puffed sleeves. There 1s a brown velvet cape and a brown hat, with all the other ac- cessories to the toilet in brown. The dress for the inauguration ball is an especially pretty combination of cream and heliotrope, and the materials are moire an- tique and velvet. The skirt and corsage are of the cream moire. About the foot of the skirt is a narrow arrangement of the helio- trope velvet. The corsage is decollete with large butterfly puffed sleeves of heliotrope velvet. The top of the corsage is covered with a rich bertha of rare old Duchesse lace and a garland of violets outlines the bertha. She will wear no jewels with this costume and the suede gloves and the fan will match the heliotrope velvet. The next lady in rank will be Mrs. Car- lisle, although at the inauguration ball the rank will not be he since the dppointment of cabinet officers is not announced until the following day and confirmed at that time by the senate. Nevertheless Mrs. Carlisle will be a conspicuous figure, not only by reason of her position, but also from her personal ap- pearance. She and Mrs. Cleveland make a striking pair of women when they stand side by side and the White and Howard people take as much pleasure is designing & gown for her as any of their clientele. Neither was Mrs. Carlisle's gown designed especially for this ball, but even if it had been it couldn’t be much handsomer. ~ The material is mauve brocade in an egiantine pattern. It is a regular court train gown. The corsage of mauve is quite decollete, with the front ar ranged samething after the Greek style, and is pointed back and frontat the waist, which 15 finished with a wide gauhered belt of vio- lot velvet and fastened with a bow of the same and a buckle. The corsage has the neck Anished with rich oM lace arranged in very unique bertha,bejng.eaught up on one houlder with ostrich tips, and in front one end is hidden under the vélvet bow at the waist and carried down the side of the skirt, where it is caught with_an immense violet velvet bow. The lace i8 fully sixteen inches wide, and after leaving the'bow is festooned across the front of the skirt to show its width, and then disappears under the train Of course, Mrs. Cleveland's appearance at 10 o'clock will be the seusation of the even- ing, but there will be another seusation for e who havenot seen Mgg. Cleveland since she left the white housg, and instead of the young girl who went away the people will see an imposing woman, who affects matronly styles and colors. Her color is not as high ago. Her face has become very dete d, and many & woman will find Mrs. Cieveland herself & much more in- teresting study than the gown she wears.
