Mrs. Stone wore a lovely gown, al
most oriental in its richness, of yellow
silk in a soft, heavy weave, the over
dress dropping to point over fluffy
pleating and the lower edge finished
in long scallops, thickly incrusted in
gold. The bodice was n bewilderng
mingling of lace and gold, with tur-
quoise panne velvet applique. A tur-
quoise necklace, passing round the
neck several times and coming low on
the corsage, added to the charming
effect. 1t was an exceedingly becom-
ing costume for our Governors hand
some wife, in whose dark hair were
yellow roses to complete the pictur-
esque ensemble.
Mrs. Stone is an ideal hostess, whose
graciousness to her guests causes them
to linger long beyond the conventional
hours. She was very happy lady on
Tuesday afternoon, and the gover-
nor's usually immovable countenance
beamed expansively. Why not? Have
not he and his gentle, friendly wife
suffered unlimited abuse during the
whole length of the administration?
Has anybody had a kind word for the
Governor who has stood so firmly by
his principles? Hasn't he been ma
ligned and vilified for two years, and
why shouldn't they be glad that the
days are drawing near when public
| opinion will set it's approval on the
stand he has taken, and by the VIC
tory in Quay's long battle show to the
| world the low, malevolent purpose of
the attacks on every friend Of the man
who is soon to come into his own
again?
The people who have wondered why
| II seems necessary for Pennsylvania to
have such tall governors have about
come to the conclusion that in the
present case it is in order to afford
an exceptional supply OF backbone.
