LATEST FLOWER HOLDERS.

Crystal flower holders of many shapes
and all sizes are much in favor this
seson. There are large vases of plain
crystal incased in gilt fligree work
rather heavy and decidedly ornate, and
small vases also ornamented with gilt
tiGgree somewhat lighter in design. En-
graved crystal vases without gilt trim
mings are also fashionable, and crystal
baskets are both engraved and trimmed
with gilt and serve as flower holders.
Other charming vases for small bon
quets are Of tinted Belleek ware. the
colors extremely delicate and most at
traetive and the shapes Of quaint. ir-
regular designs, sometimes in the form
of floral cups in groups Of three or
four and again In simpler designs for
a few blossoms. The pure white Bel
leek ware in most attractive shapes and
either In basketTy or other fanciful
shapes IS also much in favor for flower
holders.
Very tall vases of old Sheffield plate
with blue glass Innings are being sought
for for flower holders to Be used in
houses having ol5-fasbioned furniture.
Baskets and bowls, vases and boxes in
green and ivory plaster of paris are
among the less expensive flower hold
ers which find much favor four coun-
fry houses. There are also many fas-
ciHat.ng vases and baskets to be had
at the japanese shops. These are ex-
eeedingiv graceful for mny sorts of
flowers, especially those having long
stems and single blossoms, such as
the iris
For holding single flowers there are
tiny vases of German glass. hand blown
and decorated in quaint. unusual styles
with bright cherries. coIored glass birds
in relief. etc. There are also colored
glass snakes in this ware and other
remarkable devices decidedly novel
and pleasing.

KEEPING OLD PICTURES.

Often you will see in the magazines
or in old calendar pictures-copies of
famous paintings perhaps, or attractive
photographs-which you would like to
keep. And yet one g walls get so cum
bered with pictures, every one of which
must be framed at no small expense,
that, especially when space is at
premium, one hesitates to add another
to the collection.
To keep such pictures where they can
be seen always, and yet will not be in
the road, make book OF embossed
linen-purple is the best shade to show
off all kinds of colorings in the pic
lures Cut the leaves little larger
than the largest picture you are likely
to cover and paste or sew a narrow hem
all around Make covers of thin wood
or leather or thick gray cardboard, such
as is used for photograph mounts, and
hold all together by punching eyelets
and stringing ribbon through them.
Then paste a picture on each leaf, in
the center, using library paste. Of
course, a leaf can be added each time
you see a picture you want to keep,
pensive and can be bought in large
quantities.
To add still further to the attractive
ness of the book, paste on the outer
cover some especially pretty vet unfad-
ing picture, or print its title in India

NEW JERSEY
WOODROW WILSON WINS
BY PLURALITY OF 10000
Figures Show Great Loss in Re-
publican Strongholds and In
dicate Democrat Success

TRENTON, N. j., Nov. S.-Figures
obtainable at 10 o'clock indicated the
election of Woodrow Wilson, Demo-
crat, for governor, the only state office
to be filed, by between $4,000 and 10000
plurality over Vivian NJ. Lewis, Re-
publican.
Most of the early returns were from
Republican strongholds. Returns from
145 out of the 1898 districts in New Jer-
sey, a trifle more than one-tenth, give
Lewis 19,1O7; Wilson, 1857. The same
district in 1908 gave Taft 26,785;
Bryan, 1854.
These figures indicate a net gain of
Il to the district for Wilson on the
basis of the 1908 vote, and would indi-
cate his election by $4,000,
Complete returns from the forty-four
districts where voting machines were
used give Lewis a plurality of 26l5,
while the same districts gave Governor
Fort three years ago a plurality of
$3.50. This is a net loss of 6S to the
district for Lewis and at the same
ratio, if continued. would easily in
sure Wilson's election.
Early votes for members of the legis-
lature and for congress were too
meager to give an indication of the
outcome. In the First district the re-
electiorY of Representative Loudens-
lager by a small plurality was indi-
Gated.
The political completion of the legis-
lature, which will choose successor
to Senator John Kean, was in doubt.

NEW YORK, Nov. s.-Henry L.

gressiveness.

feat at 8 o'clock this evening. An hour

ASSOCIATED Press,

CHICAGO, Nov. S.--That the next
house of representatives will be con-
torlIed by the Democrats was indi-
Gated by returns received up to IL
p. m.
The Democrats gained from the Re-
pubifcans seats in congress in eight
states.
In New York seven Republican seats
were secured by the Democrats; in
Maryland, Massachusetts, North
Carolina. each, the Republicans lost
two. Losses are known to have been
sustained in Illinois. Kentucky, Mis-
souri, and Ohio.
The known Democratic gain was
eighteen, offset by two Republican
gains, one each in New York and
Pennsylvania. Reports from other
states indicate that the. Democrats
would have ample margin to assure
them the twenty-five seats necessary
to give them control of the house, two
Democratic gains having been report
ed previously in Maine.
In Oklahoma returns indicate the
Democrats probably gained two seats.
At Democratic headquarters in New
Jersey it was declared that Democrats
in that state would hold eight seats,
making a gain of five seats.
Democrats in West Virginia had
gained in three districts.
Missouri showed one known, with
three probablef Democratic gains.
while in Iowa and Illinois the returns
indicated that the Democratic gains
would total six seats
In North Carolina reports indicated
that Democratic gains would reach
three.
A big surprise came from Wiscon-
sin in the election of Victor L. Berger,
Social Democrat, to congress from the
Fifth district, which is now held by
the Republicans.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. S.-Judson
Harmon, Democrat, was reelected gov
ernor of Ohio today by a largely in
creased plurality, according to returns
from about 250 precincts of the 4526
in the state. Even approximate figures
are still in doubt, owing to a consid-
erable switch in various districts of the
state.
In 156 precincts in Cleveland Harmon
shows a gain of fourteen votes to a
precinct, partly overbalanctng the Re-
publican gain of thirty to a precinct in
Cincinnati, his home city.
The complexion of the legislature is
in doubt, but indications are it will
be close. Rural districts are showing
large Democratic gains.
