Bryan Leavitt, the two most notable
young women who were present at to-
days session OF the convention
Two typical American beauties-
Alice Roosevelt Longworth and Ruth
Bryan Leavitt. You would know them
for Americans II you met them at n
fair in Bally-Hoo dressed as Iris!,
peasants, or on top OF the Pyramids
Wrapped In an Arabian burnoose.
"Mrs. Longworth.s eyes are soft
brown: so is her hair. And she has
a dreaming smile and the pleasantkst
simplest, most unaffected manner In
the world. She runs to tailor rnadez
in the severe English fashion. and is
always very smartly and very simply
dressed. Her hair is smooth and she
does not torture 1t into puts and curis
and frizzles
Mrs. Leavitt is tall. slender. lis
some and picturesque. Her hair Is
dark, With a bronze CLINT in the sun.
and her roguish, misclltevods eyes are
as blue as an Irish lake. They are
black-lashed and brown-b rowed. and
that Is Irish. too. She looks very much
as the most fascinating woman In Eng
land-Ellen Terry-must have looked
at her age, She Is witty, good nntured
and Democratic to a degree. Her taste
runs TO the picturesque in dress, and
she lets her thick, brown hair fun
around her face In just tho way 1t
wants to-no rats. big pompndours or
puffs for her. She looks like Gains
borough picture, When she4is two or
three years older and ten or fifteen
pounds heavier she will be the hand
soonest and the most fascinating woman
in America"
There was one thing which good
many people who attended the con-
vention missed when the crowd fled
into the Denver auditorium to-day.
That was the audir.one hanging d.
rectly In front Of the speakers sand.
which at Chicago conveyed the doings
Of the convention telephonically ts the
manager Of the show at the White
House. While this convention is being
run much In the same from Lincoln,
Neb, the manager of itstllere does not
seem quite so fortunate as the Wash.
lngton manager OF the Chicago con-
vantlon, because n only does he lack
the adyantftse of having this audi
phone, but tho storm was cruel enough
to break down the telephone wires
leading to the Bryan homestead.
