PAGE FOUR iotifhm ran SOCIAL COHERING Half Dozen Women On Com mittee Had Seats on Platform at Washington Affair By HARRY B. HUNT WASHINGTON, Aug 23.—Notes at the Coolidge notification. Con tinental Memorial Hall, home of the Daughters of the American Re volution. First time the G. O. P. ever asked the ladies to provide a political hall. Exclusive sort of place. Only 2000 can gel in. Folks who don’t hold tickets, however, can stand on the curb outside and listen to the loudspeaker. Looks like a society night. Lovely ladies in evening gowns. I uxedos. Not so many, though. Senator J;m Watson in a gray sack suit. No put-on about Jim. He knows the value of baggy trousers in politics. Musicians from the Marine Band, in their red-and-gold garb, and color and harmony as the elect gather, Join the Marines. Always the first at a fight. William Butler of Boston, the party’s new political impresario, bustles about the stage as the crowd gathers and the members of the notification committee take their scats. It’s a big night for William. Half a dozen women on the com mittee, which has seats on the stage Mrs. A. T. Hert, of Kentucky, named by Butler to take the place of Harriet Taylor Upton as head of the woman’s section of the na tional committee, occupies a box with a party of friends. Mrs. Up ton seems to be absent. Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, president general of the D. A. R. occupies anothere box; Mrs. Mon dell and friends a third. That va cant box to the right of the stage is being held for Mrs. Coolidge. Won der when she’ll come. The big clock on the front of the gallery says 7:55. Seats are about all filled. The warning on the tickets-—“seats positively will not be held after 7:so”—seems to have Insure Your Eyes If your eyes hurt or you can’t see plain, have your eyes examined. Take care of your eyes and insure good eye sight. THOS. L. BELL To See Best, See Bell i > . ;■ , <aW C. J. CLARK * Sells Monument Business To The McNeel Marble Co.

Coolidge takes a seat directly in front of that appropriate New England insignia of the D. A. R„ — adorning the rear wall of the stage. —a spinning wheel and distaff.

Presiding Elder J. T. Williamson when Treasurer L. H. Smith re ported certain presiding elders who had not turned in money from their districts, offered a motion that it be the sense of the council that all presiding elders turn in to the treas urer all monies which had been giv en to them, or the bishop requested to move them. So hard pressed for funds, the council said to carry forward the school work. At the request of Bishop Flipper twelve or fifteen men paid into the treas urer special donations. Quite, a heated discussion arose over the membership and leaders of the convention. Lr. C. P.

When the meeting reached the point that more than twelve of the prominent pastors were on the floor, Chairman C. L, Williams, who was presiding, ruled Dr.” G. P- Hobbs from the floor- and got back to the routine of the convention.
