candidates. hair is getting down over
his ears and uneven on his neck, but
how is a man going to get to n
barbershop when every train into
Columbus unloads party leaders
. anxious to consult with him.
Cox has thin hair and II grows
rapidly 1t requires a barber about
every ten days TO keep II in bounds.
The nominee can shave himself. and
usually docs. early in the morning
But Cox hasn't learned to cut his
own hair. though advertisements in
the family journals say 1t can be
done.
Governor Cox came to his office
feeling especially clipper today.
Delegates to the State Convention
here yesterday assured him that the
Buckeye State is safe for the Demo-
Gratis. 1t sounded good to him.
Also, the Governor today came near
TO shattering that story that he
never wears a loud suit. The checked
suit he is wearing today is almost
vociferous. Also the Governor wore a
polka dot tie and an air of confidence.
All he needs is a haircut-and elec-
toral votes. 1t is assumed he will
set the former, and he asserts he will
get the eylatter.

Anna II. Cato whose father has
plenty of money but not much ro-

Will be made within the next few
days. Every attempt will be made
to make the trip as comfortable as
possible for Governor Cox. but the
standard bearer himself Is putting
stones in the way OF the advisers
who are, anxious to conserve his
strength.
Cox says he can stand up under the
trip. though IL Is the most strenuous
ever planned for a Presidential nomi-
nee. He believes that he can hold UP
under the strain OF literally battling
his way through four or fve great
crowds every day, entertaining the

Miss Yolande Romano Avizzana would
be formally presented this season. In
deed she was presented at Newport at
dinner dance given for her at the
summer embassy. OF course the ques-
ton OF whether or not to present her In
Washington this winter depends entirely
upon how long 1t will be before the
threatened transfer Is contaminated.
Miss Romano Avizzana went around
quite little last winter and would
probably have made her formal debut
then but that the season was nearly over
when the family arrived
She really is n charmer, sufficiently
attractive and such a responsive. APP
preciatve little lady. entirely unaf-
fected and simple in her manners. She
would have given a decided interest to
the doings of tho younger set, and may
still do so.
Naturally also the next interest is in
who will succeed the present Ambas-
sador If he really does go. Rather less
authoritative than the report that Baron
Romano Avezzana is going is the report
that Baron Aliotti will succeed him.
While 1t Is unofficial it Is interesting.
For he Is well known in diplomatic
circles here. having served as an attache
at the Embassy under Mayor des
Planches in Roosevelts time. He Is an
energetic sort OF person. and has, of
course, seen considerable and rather
varied ri d.. sessSane since he ga h list here

Bibesco, who Is expected in the course
Of time as Rumanian Minister, married

But this isn't telling you about the

bravely, nor yet about the buds who are

perchance filled with laughter. Way for
the brides then. 1t always falls to them

there isn't going to be any such animal.

sounded reasonable enough. for there
certainly was rather a bunch OF brides
who seemed to be rushing the season
and getting their weddings over and
done for. perhaps with some idea of
what the fall housing situation was
going to be. and n hope that by coming
early they could get comfortably settled
before the rush began.
