than the other materials. Waistcoats are
to be very popular features OF the au-

coarse lace and backed with a dark
shade OF the dominant color OF the

there would be rows Of buttons ana
buttonholes.
Good Foundation.
German tapestry canvas in gray or
ecru makes a good foundation for the
pillow top to be done in a long cross
stitch with colorcd cottons. On the
plain gray and tan linens may be
worked artistic designs showing con-
ventionalized roses done with light

Duration Of Conventions.

As a rule. conventions require about three
days. Lincoln was nominated at Chicago in
1860. Grant i'll the same city In 1868, Hayes
at Cincinnati in 1876 Mckinley at Philadei-
pha in 1900 and Roosevet~at Chicago in 1904
In conventions which lasted but three days.
The second Grant convention in 1872 NJ phila-
deiphia in session only two days. The
Blaine convention OF 1854 and the Taft con-
yenton OF 1908, both at Chicago. continued
four days, In the latter case work might have
been completed in three days, but it was de-
sired to give the hotels and merchants of the
convention city as large return as possible
for their hospitality. The Garfield convention
at Chicago In 1880 the longest on record.
1t was in session seven days, of which three
" ere consumed in completing the organization.
1t was In this convention that the unit rule
was killed. To nominate required thirty~six
ballots Grant began with 3o4 delegates and
ended with 306. while Garfield had none on
irst ballot and 800 on the last. The mex
longest convention WAS that at Chicago in 1883,
when Harrison was nominated the eighth
ballot This convention lasted six days. Har-
risons second nomination came AT Minneapolis
in four-day convention on the first ballot.

third ballot aud the second time unanimously.
