THE AWFUL WARNING ACT.
The ait gallery of the Hoffman House
was jammed with delegates In the early
hours of the evening. Male delegates
busted themselves showing women uele-
gates the curiosities of the richly rur-
nished cafe. The Hoffman House was
the headquarters of the New Jersey
State delegation, and they took every
thing IN with an appreciative eye.
Bougerau's famous painting proved the
most potent attraction. Women stood
before IL and studied the figures with ap-
parent admiration. Delegates who
couldn't get into the art gallery on &C
count of crowds, swarmed into the corri-
dor ana bought flowers and initial Jew
elry worked on gilded brass wire.
