Lie 10 Pose Tor Gibson

A young woman model who poses in
the studios of New York illustrators
for society girl pictures tells the New
York Herald that the demands of her
trade in the way of costumes are oner-
Gus, and she is compelled to sustain a
wardrobe almost as large as that of a
popular society actress. This consists
of evening dresses, riding habits, tail
Or-made gowns. bathing suits and a
great variety Of hats. These are most
ly properties" and are made by her
self out of cheap but effective mate
rials. Charles Dana Gibson, she says,
is the least tiresome man to work for.
because he keeps her interested in her
work and by very simple and effective
means. Before the model Gibson has
placed a large mirror, which extends to
the floor In this mirror the model
may observe herself and catch any
deviation from the pose without being
reminded Of il by the artist. She may
also observe him work, and if she is
posing at a proper angle from the mir
ror may even see the picture grow un-
der his hand. This, she says, is most
stimulating to faithful work on her
part and makes her really a part OF
the picture

TO do that the candidate for Congress
OF the Republic party should be a
man who can command the full vOt-
ing strength Of the united party. No
Republican can be elected unless the
party is united. The candidate named
by the so-called convention OF last
week Is not man who can be elected;
he could not be elected even IL his
nomination should be endorsed by the
Republicans at their convention On

Every Republican vote will be need

accomplish that there must be named

port Of the voters. We have no choice
OF the candidate for that important po-
sition, save to the extent that he must
be man who can be elected. 1t is q
icregcne conclusion that the candidate

he continues TO stand as a candidate.
II he IS not replaced by an acceptable
man his defeat, and therefore the de-
feat Of that part of the Republican
ticket, is certain. The responsibility
of the election in Delaware Of Demo-
crat to Congress this year. when Re-
publicans are badly needed, will be
not upon the Republican party, but
upon the one man who processes to be-
the sole strength Of the party yet at
tempts to foist upon the voters men
who are "close" to him.
The election Of a Republican ma
iority in the House at the election in
1898 was something of a surprise, and
IL was only possible through the 10y
atty of the West. This year we expect
the West to do just as well, but the
disfranchisement of voters in North
Carolina makes it certain that no Re
publican members Of Congress will bel
chosen in that state. II is therefore
the duty Of Delaware to continue a Re-
publican in the lower house of Con-
gress.

AMONG THE PLAYERS.

What better attraction can be offered
theatregoers than a beautiful woman If
the vehicle which conveys her and her
support are in keeping with her per-
sonal charms? Hope Booth is such a
woman, and the vehicle which is just
now bearing her upon a high wave OF
popularity is a new comedy drama en-
titled "a Wife in Pawn" which will
appear at the Opera House on Friday
and Saturday evening Of this week.
Imagine If you can this delicate bit of
femininity locked up for safe keeping
in the cold, clammy vaults OF some
amOrous usurer, while numerous mas
culine admirers are hustling to secure
the required funds which will release
her from the shadow OF three ba ls.
Here certainly is virgin soil for a
playwright. The theme is as original
as the little star is beauptiful, and they
say there is more real, genuine, laugh
provoking comedy, and more uD-to-
date surprises crowded into this enter
tainment than could consistently be
corked up in a hundred bottles Of
sparkling wine.
