TWO ELECTION RESULTS.

Looking beyond the matter Of politics
and viewing the four candidates per-
sonally, we are forced to believe that
the voters Of Massachusetts 'and New
York have voted wisely and well. Both
the winning candidates happen to be
Republicans, but We're they Democrats
and of the same comparative standard,
we should say the same. Charles r.
Hughes is as much better fitted than
W. 4. Hearst to be governor Of New
York as Curtis Guild, Jr., is to be
governor Of Massachusetts over John
Moren. The majority in Massachusetts
for Guild is about the average for sew
eral years past, while Hughes majority
in New York is considerably reduced.
although enough for all practical pur-
poses. Both commonwealths have plae-
ed two Of their most capable and most
honest sons in the chief executives

A saving In Stockings.

The problem of how to keep women's
stockings euspendered In place with
out tearing them has been solved, and
now those who spent small fortunes
every year on hosiery just because the
garters tore them can spend the extra
money in some other way. And Incl
dentally silk-the real sheer kind In
which a thread was always breaking
and spelling the whole stOcking-can
be worn now without any thought
about the weave breaking.
In order to hold the stockings In
shape and In place II hss always been
necessary to have them caught up well
at the top. and the clasps used OH the
supporters In time break through the
fine threads because of the strain, and
the hose was then practically ruined,
for Ii was u matter OF but short time
after one break occurred before there
Were several other runs" This could
not be avoided even with the heavier
llsle thread and cotton weayes, and in
desperation women who have fad for
wearing costly hosiery sought ways to
remedy the evil.
Now scheme has been devised
against tearing and ''runs" by theat-
rieai wardrobe woman that has proved
success, and since she has been using

lasted three times as long. and in ali

reason that the DEMoCRAT-SENTI-
