President and Mrs. Coolidge greeted
the third annual convention of the
American Association of University
Women at the White House today.
The delegates later gathered on the

At noon today the tellers had not
yet tabulated the result of balloting
yesterday on the question of whether
the association should continue its
opposition to an equal rights amend
ment to the Constitution. The ques-
tion aroused more widespread and
spirited discussion than any other
topic before the conference and the
ballot was understood to be so close
that, with the uncertainty surround
ing the voting of delegations, there
was consideration today of taking
another ballot.
Less than a dozen votes We're under

thought
A business session this afternoon was
to conclude the principal business be-
fore the convention. An international
dinner is scheduled for tonight at the

tion has been in progress. 1t will be
by women from several coun-
tries. The convention viii conclude to-
morrow with a final business session

HEADDRESS CHANGES.
Former London Styles Produced
Headache and Fatigue.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 24.-Women's head
dresses in Mayfair have. changed
their angle. A few months ago they
were worn straight across the brow
few inches above the eyes, but
even Princess Mary has forsaken that
style. Fashionable women now wear
them in semi-circle across the top
of the head, after the classical god

There is a good reason for the
change. the London hairdressers say.
Fatigue and headache were frequent
ly produced by the headdress for
merly in favor, as it had to be tight
ly bound about the temples to keep
it in place.
The new semi-circle affords scope
for decoration which has not been
lost by the West End merchants
There are now on display many styles
in silver, gold and green leaves with
colored flowers entwined. A plain
gilt filet is a favorite, so also is one
having points, similar to that worn
by the American Goddess of Lib
erty.
The new headdress is most popular
among the bob-haired who wish to
add dignity to their shorn locks.

CHAPTER l The Dryad Door

TT WAS horrible day at sea, horrible even
 on board the new and splendid Monarchic. A All the prettiest people had disappeared from the huge dining salon. They had turned green, and then faded away, one by one or in hurried groups; and now the very thought of music at meals made them sick. in ragtime.
 Peter Rolls was never sick, in any time or in any weather, which was his one disagree able, superior-to-others trick. The second morning out (the morning after the Monarchic had to pass Queenstown without taking on the mails or putting of enraged passengers) Peter thought he would go to the gymnasium and work up an appetite for luncheon. But he must have been absent-minded. for when he opened what ought to have been the gym nssium door, it was not the gymnasium door

 Rags, as his sister called him, consented to buy the dress for her if it didn't cost fortune. The dryads thought this adorably generous. for the stewardess, who knew all about Lord Raygsn, said that the family had become i'm. povershed.
 When the sale was settled Miss De7ereaux turned to Peter Rolls, And you, sir?" she asked, slightly eoquettish.
 Perhaps" Peter said, "my sister would like to buy dress. She's on board" Would she care to look at Mme. Nadine,s designs?" suggested Miss Dcvereauy. We have wardrobes full of marvellous inspiFa' ticns"
