The so-called Peter Thompson" has
come to be a great favorite with girls
Of all ages. and sailor blouses Of all
sorts which suggest the free joys OF
the sea are well liked. There is so
much OF practical service in one Of
these suits, as well as youthful be-
comingness, that no amount of fashion
would lend them more prestige than
they have won for themselves. Here
is shown a suit of true sailor style
having the fanciful applied yoke and
long shoulders. The blouse Is slipped
over the head, there being no opening,
while the shield is separable and worn
when desired. A variation OF the usual
style is given here in the shorter length
sleeves. finished with pretty rolling
cuffs. The skirt is a box pleated one
fitting smoothly over the hips and
ripping full at the hem. Linen, crash,
flannel, and broadclOth are used for
these suits. S% yards 42 inches wide

Baltimore, Aug. 13-George r. Gather
this afternoon gave cut the following an
nouncement OF his gubernatorial candi-
dacy:
In difference to the kind Of inquiries
OF so many friends. am desirous that
my position shall be understood by the
public
while not seeking the nomination, if
the convention shall be of the opinion
that I should be nominated as their can
didate for the governorship, I viii accept
it, On the other hand, II their judgment
is in favor Of any other nominee. it viii
give me the greatest pleasure TO earnestly
support him."
Mr. Gathers declaration may change
the current, but this morning all over
the Hotel Rennert. where the Republicans
are gathering for the State convention az
noon tomorrow at the Maryland Thea
ter. the drift was plainly toward Mr..
Phillips Lee Goldsborough for the nomi-
nation for governor.
The city delegates to the convention
| assumed a n't-care-anybody- -suits-me
attitude, but after Il was known that Mr..
Gather would run. the feeling was that
il the city delegates should get TO work
for him and push his cause. Mr.. Gather
would probably sweep the convention, for
word is coming in from the counties Of
Western Maryland. one after another,
that the people in that section want the
Baltimore man named for governor.
Should the Western Maryland politicians
leave the delegates alone. there is no
doubt that they would go 70 Mr.. Cal
tiler almost Unanimously. With Balu-
more city, the real fighting ground in
the gubernatorial race. and Western
Maryland the Gibraltar Of Republican
ism. back of him, the rest Of the State
would feel compelled TO fall in line.
At a meeting Of the Republican leaders
held last night at the Rennert, the plat
form to be adopted tomorrow was dis
cussed. II IS said that the platform Will
pledge the party 10 authorize the appoint
ment OF O public utilities commission 70
