NEW FASHIONS IN MIRRORS
Novel Threefold Mirror and othe,
Shapes That Are Popular.
From the London Mail

From the London Mail
Just as frame of picture has a great
influence on the general effect thereof. so
the frame surrounding the mirrored pre-
sentiment of a face may do much to add to
or detract from its beauty. The rim of a
mirror outlines the face In much the same
way that a large hat does, and we know
the very great difference the shape of a hat
brim may make in the appearance of the
wearer.
A fair face never seems more appropriate
ly and charmingly framed than in a heart
shaped mirror, and this is the favorite
design of the day. whether carried ont in
inlaid wood or In heavy repousse silver This
device Is of very ancient origin, for the

mirror wreathed with roses and flying Gu

smiled at the fair reflection.
Many of Inc finest designs for mirrors
still, of course, hail from Paris. The chata-
laine looking glass Is generally hidden by
an exquisitely painted miniature in Wat
pressure of the thumb. No bride marries
nowadays without becoming the recipient
of several handsome silver trimmed mirrors
Pewter and copper are also much used.
A novel threefold mirror, designed by
Miss Evelyn Hickman. Is now on show at
the Bradford Exhibition of Art. These fold

on the wall; and 1t Is quite new idea to
have them mounted on a stand The mir
ror is in copper, with rich blue lapis-lazuli
balls at certain points. Seaweed suggested
all the designs for the tracery of the mirror

the opposite course in the same conven-
ton, displacing Blaine. Grants strongest
opponent. and winning the prize.
Twice before Mckinley was nominated
he had the opportunity to do as Garfield
had done. and twice he refused. choosing
rather to follow the example of Conkling
The first Of these rejected opportunities
was In 1885, when he was member OF the
Ohio delegation which was pledged solidly
for John Sherman. On the sixth ballot
there was break for Mckinley, which be-
came more pronounced on the seventh Nc
Kinley saw that it was necessary for him
to do something at once, and, mounting
chair, he demanded that no delegate who
would not cast reflection upon me should
cast a ballot for me.
In 1892 when Harrison was nominated
at Minneapolis. Mckinley was chairman
of the convention. Seventy-four votes
were cast for him as nominee before Ohio
was reached on the roll call. Ohio cast all
but one of it's votes for Mckinley, and he
insisted on an individual roll call The re-
suit was unchanged. and there were
shouts for Mckinley! Mckinley" all
over the hall. But McKinley'S action in
ordering roll call stopped the move
ment.
In the democratic convention in 1896,
when Bryan was nominated, the result
was unforeseen, excepting by the west
ern section Of the party, which had plac-
ed Mr.. Bryan upon as high pedestal as
ever Blaine was placed by the republic
cans. But the crisis which really deter
mined the outcome of the gatherings de-
alterations came before the candidates
were named.
The convention began July 7, and Bryan
was made the nominee on July 10. On
July Bryan came to the 'front.' when he
delivered the speech in which he used the
famous words. You shall not cruelty

a convention been more deeply stirred:

Good System as Any.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Trnnscript.
President Roosevelts daughter just show
ed how much she is like her sisters In
placing her bets at horse race on the
horses whose names appealed to her. Ever
since women went to horse races and took
a financial interest" in them this has been
one of their favorite methods for backing
a horse. Perhaps because the name had
beauty or it was reminiscent of a time when
things were going uncommonly well or was
just connected with some fortunate crcum-
stance. And the male escorts of these fair
betters have always had much to say upon
the unintelligence of such sport But 1t
wouldn't be at all surprising IL the gross
winnings of these sentimental wagers for

sagacious estimates of the men folk.

Blaine Inquired came in 1888. when Benja-
min Harrison was nominated for the first
time This convention was held in Chicago
and there were many candidates, but the
name of Blaine, casting a peculiar spell
over the gathering. was In the way Of them
all, despite the fact that he had written a
letter from Florence, Italy. where he had
been ill., declining to be candidate.
Those who proposed making him the
standard bearer went about their work with
care. They planned to give all the other
candidates a chance, and when 1t was seen
that no one of them could win, TO spring
Blaine'S name and stampede the gathering
with a roar. At first the plan seemed sure
to win. For five long, weary days the dele
gates balloted without result. There was
adjournment over Sunday. and on Monday
the scheme was to be carried through. At
1 ocleck Monday morning the Blaine lead
ers met In the Grand Pacific Hotel. They
counted up the votes that could be depended
upon for Blaine, and the total was a big
majority of the whole.
I'VE will nominate Blaine as soon as the
convention meets" they said just before
adjourning the conclave, when the first
gray light of the morning was streaming
in at the windows. When at 10 o'clock the
schemers. weary. but feeling sure of sue
cess. walked into the convention they were
all happy. for before noon the name of the
white plumed knight would again be
placed before the voters of the country as
a presidential nominee.
But they didn't know that Boutelle.
Blaine's closest friend. had received cable
gram from him the day before 1t was
short and simple. and 1t read: II think 1
have right to ask my friends to respect
my wishes Boutelle had slept on this
cablegram. but was in doubt early Monday
morning whether to read IT to the conven-
ton or not. M
His doubts had been set at rest, however,
by an interview with John Sherman, printed
that morning in one of the Chicago papers.
Sherman analysed the political game the
Blaine men were playing and condemned
it. In the light of what Sherman had said,
Boutelle didn't see how he could keep the
cablegram In his pocket ~
When he entered the hall and told his
friends about the cablegram they stormed,
pleaded, threatened almost with tears but
he was firm, and Immediately after the
cablegram was read the convention got IT.
self together and named Harrison without
further ado. 1t was the old big Four of
New York. Plat, Depew. Miller and His
cock who made Harrison's nomination
possible. and they, together with Stephen
B. Elkins. who was the original Harrison
man. had fixed 1t all I'D outside the con-
vention. just as the Blaine men thought
they had fixed up their game. 1t was
agreed by Elkins. when he won the big
Four over to Harrison that Platt should
be made Secretary of the Treasury. thus
gratifying his long ambition. But he never
got the place.
