The friends of Mr.. Stevenson A. Will
liams deny most emphatically the rumor
that Mr.. Williams will voluntarily de-
cline the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor. and that former Governor Lloyd
Lowndes will be selected instead.
The rumor current gave as the alleged
reasons for such action that Mr.. Will

been confined to his bed recently. and
that he was not altogether satisfied that
conditions were as represented to him
when he consented to stand for IL nomi-

The report caused some CONSERVATION
among the Republican leaders. who have
all along regarded Mr.. Williams nomi-
nation as settled matter. Some of
them at once telephoned to Belair. and
were informed that the rumor was abso-
lutely baseless.

MR.. HANNA DENIES REPORT.

Former Surveyor of Customs John b.
Hanna, of Belair, who is in close touch
with Mr.. Williams said that nothing in
politics appeared more certain than that
Mr. Williams would be the Republican
nominee for Governor, and that he would
be unopposed. Mr.. Williams. he said.
was in good health, and proposed, if
nominated to make most active cam
paign. Mr.. Hanna further stated that
no misrepresentation had been made to
Mr.. Williams. who had consented to
stand for Il nomination only because of
what seemed to be strongly expressed
demand from Republicans from all sec
lions of the State. and that he would
positively not accept a nomination for
any other office.

quality Of the cloth and the lavish use
of the gold embroidery, combined with a
deep pointed girdle of rose-pink satin,
fastening with loops and ends at the side

riety has the overfart beautifully embroi-
dered in the gold. this opening bell-fash-
ion over a double puff of chiffon-white
over pink. The cuff is long, tiaring down
over the hand and almost covering the
fingers at the outer side. The skirt is
circular and devoid of any frills or founc-
es, the embroidery beginning in delicate
tracery over the hips, the pattern be-
coming richer and more elaborate at the
foot and simple white velvet binding
finishing the hem. The design is eminent
ly suitable for a debutante, the cut being
SO grlshly simple, and the handsome, en-
broideries giving an air Of luxury to a
simple gown.

evitably be worn over the skirt-not be-

MONG the many happy Christmas
~ celebrations none exceeded in its

the day nursery at Bethel and for
their mothers. This was strictly a family
affair, the mothers coming in to dine as
neighbors with the residents. The party
was a large one, about forty sitting down
to the feast, the children having a low
kindergarten table to themselves.
The settlement residents are very we'll
acquainted with the children and are able
10 adapt their gifts exactly to the desires
and needs of their wards, so each child
got suitable gifts. In addition to the in
dividuaI gifts the nursery itself was re-
membered by the primary department OF
the Park Avenue Sunday school, which
provided a beautiful new set of fifteen
low chairs and rocking chairs, painted red.
