ladies not only refuse to trust their male escorts with the tickets, but are so mili- tant that they guard their husbands car fare. In every case the ladies do sleight- of-hand performances to produce the pasteboards in going through the doors.
 Hundreds of the tickets bear marks of pinsticking. Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Long worth attends the convention each day. but she would not be recognized by many because of the style of hair dressing. It renders her incognito in that she has adopted almost Parisian puff and hides her identity The banks reach over her ears.
 Speaking of hair dressing, there is noted great change in Mrs. Chauncey M De- pews mode When she was here four years ago her hair was jet black. Now however. 1t is snowy white. In contrast to her black eyes it adds to her attrac- tiveness The interest of women folk over the male struggle between the Roosevelt and Taft forces is growing as tense as that of the conetdors them selves. Women are playing a big part in the recess political war" There are many workers among the immense throngs, some for Taft and some for Roosevelt Some foolish people believe the presence of the two women dele gates on the convention floor is all that averted a riot and bloodshed long ago like a feud. The Roosevelt men do not mind exterminating the Taftites, but do not want to start anything while the California women are present.
 MT. and Mrs Longworth were early ar rivals Mrs. Longworth was attired in linene and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt who is accompanied by her daughter Ethel, and her son, Quentin, were attired in black Mrs c. Vanderbilt was with MT. and Mrs Bongworth. She was dressed in purple and white.
 Mrs Vanderbilt keeps her veil down and the women in the audience are won dering Only few women can bear the burden of their hats and 1t seems strange that Mrs Vanderbilt can sit for hours with a dotted veil drawn closely over her face when she could wear a tiara of jew els.
 Despite the undercurrent of family diff ferences among the relatives of the Pres ident, said to have begun social duties, there is no evidence of disagreement in the several branches of the family here. They are the most industrious rooters who ever raised their vocal chords for family members Mrs. c. P. Taft is by all odds the chief rooter, and her enthusiasm for President Tafts cause is frequently made apparent The choice of gowns among the best dressed Chicago society women during the convention has been white flannel tailored. Mrs Ogden Armour Mrs Carter Harrison and Mrs Louis K. Tobert have worn stunning white suits with cool flmsy lingerie blouses. Dis tnguished women from the west prefer the taffeta silk with chiffon waist to har- monize.
 Upon the theme of their costume all women from Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt to the youngest debutante have agreed on rings on fingers and buckles on their shoes of low cut. Scarcely a pair of feminine feet have entered the Coliseum doors this week but which have been decorated with cut steel. gun metal, ham, mered silver or ebony ornaments.

The other day when I was rummaging about in certain Book shop found a yellow and ancient and much faded copy of q play called What Tears Can Do.R
 The date of the publication twas about 40 years ago.
 I bought 1t, to see if--well-if in the old days when tears were at the height of their popularity. their power was greater than at present, when we are often as- sureds that they are entirely out of date.
 The story of the play concerned itself with two young married couples, one a bride and groom. while the other had celebrated their fifth anniversary.
 The young bride wanted a certain pair of earrings. the kind that have been re- vived now. and she was coaxing the fond young bridegroom husband to buy them for her.
 She was obdurate.
 He could not afford the jewels.
 The matter would have rested there if

One of the attractive incidents of a week of pre-nuptial entertainments was Miss Pearl Blackburn's linen shower and heart party complimentary to Miss Sara Clayton, who will wed MT. Walter Mccoy.

Clayton, Miss Margaret Anderson, Miss Felicia Streit Miss Bessie Webb and Miss Mary Scruggs assisted in hospitaable offices. Fruit punch and ices were served, the latter moulded in garlands of roses.

 Yes, dear came a falsetto, and the voice was that of her spouse.
 Investigation showed it was the way one suffragette allowed her husband lit- tie suffrage. Further investigation brought out the statement from many doorkeepers that in nine cases out of ten where man and a lady go to the convep- tion together, the lady is custodian of the tickets.
 According to the doorkeepers couples approach the door and the husband, father, son or cousin stands neryously by while the woman produces the creden- tials from some mysterious recess. It is noticeable fact also that most of the

 On the renewal of their friendship the bride learned many things, among others: What Tears Can Do' in the way of managing husband.
 The older woman hears in a few min utes the story of the earrings, that the young bridegroom has denied his wife of a week.
 Immediately the bride is advised to try the power of tears. She does So and gets the coveted ear rings. But listen: Later on the young bridegroom hus- band overhears her telling her adviser of how the ''ruse' worked and then a fearful scene-fraught with much uncer- tainty-ensues.
 It was awful.
 It is revealed that in the case of the older married couple, overworked tears had so weakened the will of that hus- band that he meekly accedes to all his wifes demands, though he has long since lost confidence in her.
