GALA TIME

BILTMORE HOTEL, New York
What worries me-" said jim
Farley as the flash of a camera
caught him at 2 o'clock this
morning adding up the landslide
"what really worries me is that
we don't seem to be carrying Yer
mont. Well, give us time-the
days still young. We can't afford
to get discouraged too soon."
Mr.. Farley, Michigans on the
phone, and when you've finished
Kansas is waiting and"
A dozen operators sat around
q long table in the chairman'S
room, passing out telegraph film
sizes of the election returns, plug
ging in from the West Coast, the
South, the Great Lakes, the mes
sage Of triumphant State chair
men.
The country evidently felt as
did an italian bootblack with
whom had little political talk
yesterday morning.
"HOw did you vote?" 1 asked.
II keep-a de same man."
"Why did you do that?"
''Why! All! He's good,a for
de population.
The population of the Biltmore
Hotel had a gorgeous time cele-
brating "the samoa mans" popu-
larity yesterday-or was it today.
In q dozen rooms special Demo
cratic committee festivities were
going from 9 o'clock until the
bacon and eggs came up for z
o'clock breakfast.
IF you'd find any fault with
such radiant scenes it would be
that there wasn't enough excite
ment.
The battle was too much of
WalkaWay.
Everybody was so certain that
they forgot to cheer. The victory
was too easy.
The first floor of the Biltmore
practically sagged with happy
Democrats. Files of husky police
men guarded the special rooms
from the uninvited-thoSe unfor-
tunateS without cards.
In Forbes Morgan's room a fine
reception was going on. A bulletin
board adorned one of the rooms.
The other two rooms of the suite
were cheerful confusion of din
ner coats, white ties, evening
gowns, dinner dresses. orchid
corSages, silver fox and sable
capes. Hundreds of the prosperous
stood on each others toes. Had a

it all along"
Mr.. Morg ! had had a dinner
earlier in the evening-you could
pick out his gentlemen guests by
the boutonnieres of red, white,
and blue carnations.
Mrs. Morgan in black velvet was
carrying a huge old fashioned
bouquet of red and white roses
Cornelius Vanderbilt had sent
her.
Mrs. Mary w. Dewson had a
big party for the women of the
committee. I found Mrs. Ruth
Bryan Rohde at this congenial
gathering, looking extremely
handsome in green velvet with a
corsage Of violetS on her green
hat.
With Mrs. Rohde was her dash
ing new husband obviously faS-
cinated by the spectacle of the
United States selecting a Presi.
dent.
Mrs. James H. Wolfe and Mrs.
Phoebe Omlie were nearby. Mrs.
Omlie who flew her plane 1000
miles and dropped to land ever
so often to make a speech was as
feminine as a debutante in black
velvet and ermine. Both politics
and aviation are becoming to
women you know.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph E. Davies
and Miss Emlen Knight Davies
were devout watchers of the bulle-
tin board. Mrs. Davies is one of
the prettiest women I've ever seen.
Her black gown lowered in blue
and violet was a fine contrast for
her very fair skin.
Mrs. James A. Farley and sew
eral of her friends were holding
court in the palm room. Mrs. Far
ley was wearing sapphire blue vel
vet and she had a wreath of blue
flowers in her hair. If you go out
without posey or something in
your hair this winter you're posi-
lively undresSed.
Many distinguished WaShingto-
mans were about the place. The
Attorney General and Mrs. Homer
Cummings, Mr.. and Mrs. William
Stanley and Mr.. and Mrs. Bruce
Kremer had had a dinner at the
