LACK OF PUBLIC INTEREST
SHOWN BY VACANT SEATS.

The lack of public interest in the
convention was evidenced by the large
number of vacant seats In the gallery
and on the mezZaine floor, where not
more than two-thirds of the chairs
were occupied. The first fioor was
well filled.
At former Republican conventions
seats brought a premium, but Monday
spectators sold them for a song.
State pride figured strongly in the
convention. Each state had its
friends in the galleries, whence shower
ed plaudits on the great men as they
entered the Coliseum. The first big
man" to arrive was Senator Allison.
The Iowa contingent cheered its well
come and this was taken up by sur
rounding visitors, who recognized the
Iowa statesman. Senator Depew, Sena-
tor CIhlom. Speaker Cannon. General
Grosvenor, Elihu Root, Chairman
Payne. Senator Penrose, Senator
Scott, Frank It. Black and other early
arrivals received their share OF APP
plause. The floor filled with delegates
so rapidly that many prominent fig
ures slipped in unnoticed. Among
these was Senator Lodge, who is ac-
credited with having a more intimate
knowledge of what the convention is
doing than any other man.
There vas some difficulty experience
ed in seating the delegates and il was
1916 p. m. when Chairman Payne
called the convention to order. After
prayer by Rev. j. p. Frost, the first
speech at the convention was made
by Senator Scott, who informally pre-
sented TO Chairman Payne a beautiful
gavel, the gift of the Chicago citizens
committee. Mr.. Payne expressed APP
probation of the gift and then called
on Secretary Elmer Dover to read the
call of the convention.

$50 month and her Christmas gift on her clothes was allowed to see tn, working girls schedule, and sht promptly declared 1t Impossible Even when she was told that the fig. ures were made up from absolute ex. penditures she professed incredulity and said that some one must be giv. ing the girl clothes"
 Tt is not absolutely necessary for woman to spend as much money as l do for clothes" she declared, 'bu, no woman can dress on less than $3oC a year. unless she wears calico wrap. pers nearly all the time. Why, just see what I have to have, and cut tha, In half and you will get what is posi- lively necessary for every woman"
 Both women consulted declared that if they always had the ready money to pick up bargains as they are offered especially at the end of the season they could make saving on their original estimates.
 The trouble with us, and with most women," 1t was said. 'is that they nev- CT can get far enough ahead to buy things to put away for another sea son. Besides, the styles change SO, you never can tell If what you get this year will do for next"

 How much must a society woman ex- pend on her clothes?
 Mrs. Stafford Barstow of New York, an authority on the subject, has de- clared that $39.950 is the requisite amount. Mrs. John Jacob Astor, she says, is the best dressed woman in New York. and her wardrobe costs $5O,000 annually. In Mrs. Barstow' $ opinion $25,000 is only a fair average of what society women spend.
 How much must a self-respecting woman spend on her clothes? Miss Dora Wells, who hold a posi- tion as stenographer in a lawyers of- flee, from which she derives an in- come of s1250 a week, estimated yes- terday that $106.S2, judiciously expend- ed will provide an ample wardrobe for woman who earns her own living. She has kept an account of her sx- penditures for several years, and she says she knows.
 north side woman, whose husband has an income of $5,000 a year, and who, although she pleads not guilty to the charge of being a society woman does boast that her wardrobe is al- ways in condition to respond to any ordinary demand made upon 1t, said that $610 a year would clothe her. When she came to itemize the list, however, she had to acknowledge that the Christmas present of $50 which her husband invariably gives her goes to make. up the deficit in her dressing allowance
 The difference between what Mrs. Barstow considers necessary for the nof nfty -, expenditures is $39,S43.1S. What Mrs. John Jacob Astor pays out in one year would clothe 40 working women like Miss Wells. The woman who expends $40,o00 annually for her raiment buys garments by the dozen, and everything she wears must be made for her, and of special pattern and design.
 The way working woman "shops'' for what she wears Is described by Miss Wells
 Although a girl can dress fairly well on $1O6 a year." she said, "she never can buy more than she needs, and she must take advantage of the bargain counters. Her gowns are not made by modiste, and her hats are not built to order, for what she buys Is ready made, and she doesn't get 1t, either, until she wants to put 1t on. T don't know much about society women. but l do know tNat the work ing girl, young and pretty. will spend more money on her clothes than an unattractive spinster. That is only natural. though, because, of course she Is looking out for a chance to get married, and ther's no use talking, men are attracted by a woman's clothes"
 My estimate doesn't count a linen suit my mother gave me- nor two pairs or gloves that er-were given me " continued Miss Wells. But the cloak that cost me SIS will last at least two seasons, and maybe three, so that makes up the difference"

Inquest ON Florence MacISintosh

Coroner White has begun an inquest
into the death of Florence Macintosh,
seventeen years old, who died suddenly
at the residence of her stepmother,
Mrs. Henrietta De Witt, in Sidney,
n. Z. She had been apparently i'll of
stomach trouble. Her death was sud
den, and surrounding circumstances
aroused the suspicion OF the authori-
ties. 1t is alleged that chemical anal
ysis revealed the presence of arsenic in
the girls stomach and that she carried
a $1,000 life insurance policy. 1t is re-
ported that warrants charging murder
in the first degree have been issued.

company has been almost completely
destroyed by fire. The loss is estimat-
ed at 100000, and it is insured for so

All of the 600 men at work in the

through secondary openings. 1t being

The Pine Brook is located just on the
edge of the business district and is in
the heart of one of the principal manu-
featuring districts The Allis-Chalmers
locomotive works and a number of
other structures were set afre by
sparks, but the flames in each instance
We're quickly extinguished
The mine has been in operation fifty
two years, but is good for twenty more
years, and the breaker will be rebuilt
at once.
TheN company will provide places al
other mines for as many of the SOC
hands as can be accommodated. The
others face six months idleness.
