Glitter Game Hard to Play.
But fl is no easy thing 10 play the
glitter gfme at a convention. Without
the training OF Saturday Sunday, and
Monday Just past, IL would be impos-
sible to get as far as first base NO
body could break IN today and make

rules. and little by-plays and team
work that have to be mastered DeToi

he can do is 10 pay for It. Ma Is the
glitterer. It's a game strictly for wom-

but exquisite costume after wearing out

at their watches. The game is On. The
elevator comes down. and out sails Ma.

somebody has to pay for the drinks.
Nobody can go into the POmpeilan

Glitters Differ in Glory.
There are, it is true. different grades
OF glitter. The high grade is in the
hotels like the Annex. the Auditorium
and the Stratford. where the benhCps
take in more money I'm a day than pa
with his country grocery store handles
in a week, even counting trade as
money. There the art Of breaking
hearts BY a lift OF the eyelashes OF

But everywhere there Is glitter. Tn,
Senators have their wives, ana they

An l seem to feel their freshness-a

her supremacy as the greatest cot
