MINORITY GIVES
ITS ULTIMATUM
Gavin McNab Must Re-
ply Before Seven
O'Clock Tonight.
Civic Federation Asks Voters
to Attend the Bond
Election.

II now rests with Gavin McNab to say
whether there shall be peace or war in
the Democratic convention. The leaders
OF the Horse and Cart" faction of the
psrty have submitted their ultimatum to
Mr. McNab, and he must render his de-
cision as early as o'clock this evening.
The minority delegates demand the right
to name the County Clerk and to possess
all the patronage of the office in the event
Of the election of their candidate. 1t is
not stipulated. however. that A. w. Wehe
shall be named as the candidate for Clerk.
1t is demanded further that the new
County Committee or governing body Of
the party shall be selected by Assembly
district delegations on the basis, so far
as representation goes, of one member for
each 100 votes cast for Lane at the last
gubernatorial election, and one member
for each majority fraction Of 100 votes.
The third and most important demand is
that the minority shall name four Super
visors without referring the names to the
majority.
It is common gossip in the Democratic
camp that Franklin K. Lane will not ac-
cept the nomination for Mayor If the con-
vention fails to make his nomination
unanimous. The minority delegates de-
clare that they will not vote for Lane IL
McNab refuses to accept the ultimatum
Of the Horses and Carts" Politicians
predict that the leader of the majority
Will come TO terms in order to place Lane
in the field as the unanimous choice Of
the Democratic convention. The minority
chieftains are elated over the prospect Of
McNab's surrender. The convention will
meet tonight at the Alhambra Theater.

A correspondent who signs himself
I'D. W. H." writes entertainingly as
follows: I'm one of the articles in the
'Nosegay' column reference is made
TO the high heels on the boots of the
Texas cowpunchers. and vanity is
given as the reason of the high heel.
This is somewha, OF 4 mistake. NJ
doubt vanity ligures in it. for the
writer has been witness TO the fact
seeing heels so high that they were
braced with small iron rods on the in.
side. But to return to the real use of
the high hecl-for it has use. We
all know the broncho, some Of us by
reputation. and others By experience,
and know he is. 10 say the least, II
triiie unreliable. On the saddles used
in the West the small. light stirrup of
iron is not used. In its place is the
large wooden stirrup, similar to the
one used in the cavalry, but mostly
without the leather guard over the
front, and il is here where the high
heel plays its part. The wooden stir
rup is so large that an ordinary shoe
as worn would slip through, and 1t does
not take much imagination to picture
what would happen If at this time the
rider should be thrown from the sad
die and one foot be caught in the
stirrup. With the high heel this is
impossible, for the foot cannot 20 all
the way through. So vanity is not the
whole reason Of the cowpunchers high
hecl."-Philadclphla Record.

Horse Trade In Maine.

From the mountains of Camden, Me-,
comes Il story of Philadelphia mer.
chant who has n summer cottage in
that village and who wished to ex.
change lively horse which he owned
with a Frcnch-Canadian who had Il
more gentle animal which women and
children could drive. The Frcnchman
was willing to t;ade, bur for some rea.
son insisted upon repeating to the Wis.
itor that the local horse did not look"
so well as the one belonging to the
Philadelphia man.
An exchange satisfactory to both
parties was eventually made, and the
first time this visitors wife took the
new horse out for drive she dis.
covered that the beast was as blind
as mole. a few days later. when the
rusticator met the Frenchman, he said:
See here, you rascal. that horse you
swappcd with me for mine was stone
blind. Why didn't you tell me of 1t
n. the time?"
"Ah'm bly, try tell you all Ah'm bin

THE TRIPPING STEP"
How to Acquire II For Drawing Room
Trained Skirt.

Trained Skirt.
Golfng girls and enns-playing maid
ems are apt to lose the drawing room
accomplishment of walking in such a
''swan-like" way as to set off the ripple
and flow of n trained skirt. Evening
dress is much more beautiful with a
trained skirt 1t gives a certain grace
of its own to the department. but this
Is lost If the wearer either strides or
bounces about with n step whose free.
dom suggests breezy afternoons on the
downs or mornings spent on the un-
counted miles of the links.
The Creole girls of former genera
tions were distinguished by beautiful
tripping walk. and the achievement
of this drawing room grace was Sc
cured as follows: The mother or gov
crness of the young girl used to tie her
ankles together with broad satin rib
bon. The breadth OF the ribbon and its
softness prevents hurting the tender
ankles. and the confinement prevented
the girl from taking too long step.
1t was never drawn tight for then 10.
comotion would be impossible. But
the strictncss OF the band reduced the
childish stride to Il narrow gait, which
mt that time was reckorcd as an ap-
propriatc girlish accomplishment.
This produced in time tripping
step. 1t was daily p:acticcd until
confirmed as habltual manner of
walking. This was ut Il time when the
services of retired drill sergeant were
frequently rcquisitioned to teach q
class of school girls how to hold up the
head and how TO straighten the spine
so that no girl should dream of leaning
back in her clair so as to touch the
back.
Sometime, n book was carried on the
top of the head TO assist in producing
the carriage desired by the soveracss
or mother.
y somewhat artificial step seems ,hr
natural accompaniment of the lS.J
style of summer toilet in which an ar
tificial simplicity is the keynote. Tlc
full-founced and berufiled skirts, die
early Victorian cOrsage with its ticlu
and dropping shoulder seams. its angel
and long sashes of the period all point
to the same direction. The tripping
gait is quite as much part of it as
would be the profusion OF ringlets and
the frightful expanded bonnets we
have not copied from the same period.
One ambitious mamma, who thinks
n great deal of the airs and graces,"
has trained her debutante daughter to
u gliding or tripping step by 4 simple
device. Her white skirt, which mas
not Il very full petticoat. was sewed to-
gether from front to back half way up
from the hem. The girl then practiced
walking. advancing and retreating, be-
fore the tall mirror in the "duchesse'
in her mothers dressing room. The
scanned petticoat constrained her nat
ural step into one still shorter, and so
she has achieved the Chicken step
desired for drawing room train
