THREE IN HER EMILY.
Mrs. Beckham's Father, Brother and
Son Have Been Governors.

The mother, sister and daughter of a
governor-this is the unique relationship
occupied by Mrs. Julia Wickliffe Beck
ham, mother of Kentucky's chief exccu-
tive.
Governors in three generations is an
honor to which but few families can lay
claim, but such honor belongs to the
Wickliffcs of Kentucky, the family of
which Mrs. Beckham is a member. Her
father was Governor Charles Anderson
Wickliffe of Kentucky. Her brother was
Governor Robert C. Wickliffe of Louisl
ana. Her son is Governor John Crepps
Wickliffe Beckham of Kentucky.
With such intimate family relations
with governors it might be naturally ex-
pected that Mrs. Beckham was born in
the executive mansion of the state. But

To Keen Gloves,

Don't wear a glove with button off or
hole in it. thinking it won't be noticed.
1t is almost sure to be observed, and it
will stamp you as careless and sloveniy
in the eyes of the beholder. Don't put on
a new glove carelessly. The first mold
ing of the glove to the hand decides its
future shape and therefore it is most
important that it should not be put on
any way but in the best possible manner.
Turn back the wrist part of the glove
and then carefully work on the fingers,
seeing that the seams are straight.
