The storm predicted In this column

break of the storm In the election

gates to the congress last night with
all the attributes OF q whirlwind.
The serenity preceding It was
eaualed only by the intensity Of the
actuality. Everything was moving
smoothly and quietly when the noni-
nation OF Mrs. William Cumming
Story was placed before the body.
Delegates were sitting listlessly in
the hall when Mrs. Story walked to
the front OF tho platform and asked
for the floor as a matter. OF personal
privilege. Mrs. George Maynard
Minor ruled against 1t at the outset
on the ground that only nominatlons
were In order. After short discus
sion Mrs. Story was allowed to ad.
dress the delegates. That brought
them to chair ends. BY the time she
was half through there was an ab-
solute absence OF listlessness. The
first gusts of the storm swept through
the hall. What happened later Is re-
vealed elsewhere.
Evening dresses were worn by vir-
The occasion was the most colorful
of the series OF sessions this week.
In the rear of the hall there was
jam in the standing room section.
The stage was packed. Conditions
were ideal for what happened.
The matter OF ovations received
close attention from observers dur
Careful timing placed the applause

ing might have been gained from
analysis Of several incidents At the
hall yesterday. Among the most
prominent OF these incidents was Mrs.
George Maynard Minors warning. as
ssrs IN
! work and not for electioneering and
sightseeing. She made this statement
when a big exodus from the hall be-
gan during the late afternoon session.
Probably eclipsing all other private
social affairs in connection with the
congress was the reception in honor

Larz Anderson yesterday afternoon.
Delegates stood in line for hours at
, the Anderson home to greet Mrs.
Cook. and not only delegates to the
congress, but many Of the resident

ing her that have been circulated among
the delegates. Obviously. the letters
could not have come from Mrs. Cooks
friends, and I chose to demonstrate by
my own elimination that / wish to re-
pudiate such conduct by deeds rather
than by words. 1t seemed to me that
the time had come when 1t required
personal sacrifice to establish the prtn-
ciple that tactics Of that sort will not
be countenanced by fair minded women
and that no woman would want an
office, however high. which came innu-
enced by such action. In making the
issue clear in electing Mrs. COOK the
society has its opportunity to 20 on

Perhaps the best way
to illustrate blue-wiaite-

does the laundress put
blueing with white
clothese Certainly not
to make them blue. As
suredly to make them
white. Dead white
ness registers faded
yellow and it has been

At any rate it demon

give you is to look for
pure, clear whiteness

get that, be assured the
