The democratic state convention
meets in Nashville next Tuesday af.
ter which We can form "a more definite
idea as to who will be our next gov>
ernor. The prospect for 5O.4 plat>
torn is good We hope some man
will get the nomination who is not
odious to either wing of the party, as
much depends on that. We believe
that many state credit men will refuse
to vote fer aa extreme low>taxer, and
that many lowtax men will not vote
for an ultra state credit man.

Skating Costumes

1t may be tritle unreasonable to
speak Of skating just yet, but for young
ladies' who indulge in that pleasant pas
time, and wish to make costumes es-
pecially for skating, it may not be out
of place to descr be ono which will
serve as q model from which to fashion
others. The material is dark blue lady's
cloth, with trimming of deep red yelvet.
The skirt is made rather short and quite
full. Six inches from the bottom is q
wide band OF bias velvet, and this is the
only ornament on the skirt The
basque, or rather waist, is made pla n
and tight-fitting, and a wide belt Of vel
vet Is worn. The sleeves are very long
! and tight. and the buttons are medium
size OF cut steel. The outside garment
long jacket, warmly lined with Quilted
satin of the shade corresponding to the
velvet, and velvet forms the deep collar
and cuffs and the lapels of the side
| pockets, and the small breast-pocket
| high on the left side. A double row of
| large cut-steel buttons, ornaments the
front Of the jacket, and the cuis and
pockets are trimmed in tho same way.
| A scarf OF red silk is worn close around
the throat with the ends tucked in the
jacket in front, form ng full puff The
cap is Tam O'Shanter of red velvet
with silk tassel hanging from the top,
and is worn forward and just tipped n
mere triile to one side, giving n jannty
and pretty appearance. Long mittens
knit of silk the same shade as the vel
vet, with fancy backs, are worn, the
wrists drawn high under the sleeves Of
the Jacket and over the sleeves Of the
dress. The whole costume is exceed
ingly neat and pretty. with no long
kget in other peoples way. In these
days of roller-skates the older and
pleasantly pastime of skating on ice is
almost lost sight of, in the large cities
at least, and only those who are fol tu-
nate or unfortunate enough to live in
smaller places can indulge in the sport
in the old and most enjoyable manner.

THE printing of Thurlow Weeds death
bed statements in the New York papers
recently concerning the disappearance
OF William Morgan after the publication
OF his pamphlet entitled ''Free Masonry
Exposed and Explained" in 1926, has
created an astonishing revival of all the
Incidents connected with that rzyste.
rious case. Prominent Masons through.
out the country have been interviewed,
and all emphatically denounce the accu-
sation Of the completely Of their Order in
Morgan's death, both false and ridicu-
lous. Morgau's pamphlet was issued
during q heated political canvass in
which Mr.. Weed was wsging bitter and
lncessant war against the Masonic
Order, and Morgan's MYSTERIOUS disappear
ance was Immediately seized upon by
Mr.. Weed and extensively used in the
ant Masonic campaign. Whatever
may have been the fate of Morgan, it is
doubtful if the deep mystery surround
ing his disappearance will ever be Salts
factorily solved.

jones' Elbow. ,

There is no stove up in the Jones FAM
lily sitting room this fall, and there isn't
likely to be. for Jones says he isn't go
ing to put the drafted thing up, not if
he knows it, and Mrs. Jones goes round
shivering and inquiring what is good
for rheumatism, and all this discomfort
arose from what a sharp writer onoe
called 1.-the total depravity of mani
mate things"
1t was this way: Jones bought an
elbow for the stove, kind of cut bias
and shirred affair, decidedly crooked,
and with cruel, wicked eye. 1t wasn't
very large, but it was an awkward
thing to carry. Then he stopped at the
grocery and got neat little paper bag
of cranberries, and dozen of eggs he
forgot when ordering supplies, also put
up in paper bag; and next he boarded
CIR for home. There was just one
seat left vacant, and notakers; so Jones
laid the elbow in that while he paid his
fare: Then he forgot the elbow and
sat down gracefully, but not on bed

angles to the elbow, and he got up again
and took it in his lap, but as he did SO

THERE is quite stir in the higher Cir

account ofanew departure by the Sketch
ing Club, of that city, an organization
composed of young society people. A
day or two ago on advertisement ap-
peared in one Of the local newspapers,
reading: "Wanted-Models--Male and
female" There werenumerous responses,
but few being males and about twenty
five females. The person selected as the
first model is described as young lady
Of rare charms, a beautiful face and
splendid physique She is reported to
dwell In one of the best quarters of the
town, and said to be highly educated.
The conditions upon which she consent
ed to become model were that her name
should not be disclosed and that she
should be allowed to wear a veil at pos
mgs. Leading members of the club de-
fend their action by asserting that there
can be no harm in studying from the
nude as long as the matter is properly
conducted. It remains to be seen whether
the use of o female model will be toler-
ated in staid old Detroit.
