Long lines OF. fortunate tickle

being hlandly refused.
Take your place by me-Weii
saw in the Press Gallery, where
there are few vacant seats-and
look over the scene. There's Mrs.
Borden Hartman. She never. misses

chairman of the Republican national
committee, breezes in. Yes, that's
Mrs. Wilbur, wife of the Secretary
OF the Navy. just across the way
the only Cabineteer in sight.
Senate rules are ahrogated and
guests are given seats on the steps.
Mrs. Morris Sheppard, wife OF
Senator Sheppard OF Texas, seived
upon one, glad enough to, get it.
A few Of those who. have been
lined up since o clock are also
lucky. Envious eyes are cast upon
the diplomatic gallery almost empty.

There comes Mrs. Dawes, a few
ladies' with her. Mrs. Tiffany Blake
among Them She's the wife Of the
chief editorial writer Of a Chicago

Glover. And Mrs. Henry Dimcck
and Nine Grouitch. Oh. yes, Con-

Most OF the Congressionals have
left town. but the Fishes are I'm

the fight in the Senate.
The Misses Patten are on hand.
Have been since early in the morn
ing. There's Madame Ekengren,
and Commander and Mrs. Joel T..
Boone, and Mrs. J.. Mayhem Vain
wright.
No SIGNS Of Mrs. Longworth.
This is probably too much of a
show Tor her. She prefers her
place in the gallery when it is not

she and PauIina are staying pretty
close to base these days.
The diplomatic gallery Is slow in
filling up. 4 han dozen men there

watched with great interest the con.
