Bodied Hair Popular.
When Senator Ralston of Indiana
was placed in nomination, a little
private demonstration in the speak

Pike, national committeewoman
said to be the prettiest woman at
the convention, who stood on her
chair and Joined right Justify in the
singing Of THE Banks of the
Wabash Miss Pike, whose hair is
snowy white, although she is young
and full of pep, is wearing a new
and very becoming shingle bob and
her associates on the committee are
reasonably sure that she i, is in a
large measure responsible for the
raid of the women delegates upon
the barber shops of New York. Rec

able New York women bobbed over

The speakers stand is the one
place in the vast convention hall
where one can really get some idea
of who is present. And among
those usually to be found either
there or in the boxes nearby are
Miss Margaret Wilson, Mrs.
Josephus Daniels, Mrs. A. A. Jones,
Mrs. Breckenridge Long, Mrs.
Carter Glass, Mrs. Oscar. Under

old political stagers as Senator

Ray Baker.
Girls Like Governor.
Governor Richie of Maryland
was busying around yesterday and
was once discovered in the lunch
room maintained by the Baltimore
Sun, entirely surrounded by pretty
girls. He shares with McAdoo the
distinction of being the women's
candidate, possibly because of his
extreme good looks and engaging
manner.
Mrs. Goodwin, who is 40 much
with Mrs. McAdoo and through
whom requests of various sorts
are forwarded to her, is the wife
of Judge Clarence Goodwin, of
Chicago. The Goodwins have been
much in Washington in the last
few years and at present have a
place at Foresthills, l.. 1, They
are sailing for England when the
convention is over and will take in
the bar association convention in
London.
The diplomats have not been very
numerously discovered, but Prince
