what it lacks.
Its cost is about fifteen cents
for eight ounces, and 1t is dis

ing one of the luncheons given
by the Senate ladies in a COM
mittee room at the Capitol,

hostesses for the day brought
all the food, several kinds Of
salads, sandwiches of every con-
ceivable variety, and delicious
iced cakes actually made by one
Of the group.
They all sewed on Red Cross
garments after the luncheon and
the conversation was pretty well
confined to the -four C's," that
men say compose feminine con-
versation: Children, clothes,
cooking and charities-and one
wag added a fifth, contract"

confined in the above category,
Y can assure you.

The feminist movement here
and in several European coun-
tries was discussed, the Presi-

rights, recalling also that in
certain ways women have diff

PLANS EXPANSION
IN UNDERWRITING
Mellon Securities Reported
Prepared to Broaden
Scope of Activities.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, December 1.-THE
Wall Street Journal said today the
Mellon Securities Co. of Pittsburgh
contemplates expansion of its activ-
tiles in underwriting and retail dis
tribution of securities.
The company until recently en-
gagged mainly in the underwriting Of
securities for the Mellon family's per-
sonal interest.
Coupled with the re-entry Of the
Morgan name in the same field,
through Morgan, Stanley G Co. OF
New York, financial authorities said
the move indicates expectations Of
substantial industrial financing in the
early months of 1896.
1t was stated the first important
venture of the Mellon company may
be in connection with the Jones s.
Laughlin Steel Corp. bond flotation
centering on the s40,o00,000 ex-
panSion program of the steel organi-
zation.
So far this year the company has
participated in the extent of $15,150,-
900 in underwriting new securities
issues, but it has headed no accounts.
