luS CuelT HIVES pleduluS lol CuO nun gry" knew yesterday how it felt. It was all because the police and the doorman smilingly but firmly in formed every visitor who sought to leave the convention hall fer bite to eat at midday that to leave meant to stay out.
 Therefore everyone stayed in and there began such stampede for the luncheon counter at the south end of the annex that the clerks cried for mercy and the protection of the blue coated men.
 That was why eX-Senator Albert J. Bever dge' but recently a guest at the residence of his wife's aunt, Mrs. Marshall Field tried many times to get near enought the short counter to sandwich. He gave up the attempt only after a policeman had barred the outer gate of the hall of banquet ing had .confided that as yet there was not room even for former United States senators. Senator Borah gave up smilingly and returned to his seat on the platform.
 Nephew Brings Lunch Basket
 Chauncey Depew-he of banquet ing fame-came to the counter ac- companied by Mrs. DepeW and carry Ing a small brown wicker basket .o be filled with desired food. For time Mrs. Nepew leaned. with antici- patton, against the brick wall, while her husband investigated the crowd. But center rushing had not been a pastime of Mrs. Depew's youth and they left to run into Mrs. Harriet Blaine Beale, Mrs. Murray Crane, and | Arthur Aldis, who were in the oncon1- ing company MT. Aldis emerged | triumphant with enough sandwiches | for his party.
 Just then some one spied Mrs. Johnson, wife of the governor Of 1 California; in the counter group glee- | fully consuming a cheese sandwich. Not far away Mrs. Hiram Johnson Jr., in natty tailored suit, poised on her hand paper plate, on which rested a triange of cherry pie.
 In the meantime others were eat ! ing picnic luncheons in the conven ton hall. Up behind the chairman's desk sat Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt With her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Theo, dore Roosevelt, Jr., her daughter, Miss Ethel Roosevelt, and her son, Quentin. Just behind her was Mrs. Murray Crane with friends, and just in front of her Senator Crane and other Taft supporters.
 Women Discard Their Hats
 Across the hall to the left of the platform MT and Mrs. Nicholas Long worth, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt and Freddy" Roosevelt, Jr., sat. As at the last convention, Mrs. Long worth persists in the removal of her hat for the proceedings, and her eX- ample is followed Dy many of the better known women present. Both young Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Ethel were hstless, but Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, who dresses in black, wears her small black hat all during the day.
 Speaking of hats, the railing of the ''millionaires' biX," as the direc- tors box has been dubbed, resembled a spring millinery opening wher viewed from the body of the hall
