PENNSYLVANIA RETURNS
PENR0SE TO SENATE

Philadelphia.-Boies Penrose was re-
elected to the United States Senate
by plurality approaching 100000; DR..
Martin Brumbaugh, Republican candl-
date for Governor, was elected by more
than 125,00O majority, and the entire
Republican State ticket was swept into
office In the election.
This estimate is based upon the
heavy Republican vote polled in Phil
adelphia and Pittsburgh, and the sweep
Of the Republican column in such
Democratic strongholds as Lehigh and
Lycoming counties.
The commanding lead Of the Repub-
licans indicates that the Democratic
delegation in the House Of Representa-,
tives will be reduced from 12 to 4, the
Progressives, from Z to 2, and the Re
publicans increased from II to 81. The
Republicans will have a large ma
jority in both houses Of the Pennsyl-
vania State Legislature.
Progressive party State leaders ad-
mitted defeat shortly before midnight.
Progressive Party State Chairman A.
Nevin DIETRICH said:
Returns indicate an overwhelming
victory for Penrose for Senator and
Brumbaugh for Governor. attribute
the vote to a revulsion against the
Democratic administration and the be-
lief on the part Of the electorate that
the Republican party is the instrument
through which there will be q revival
Of prosperity. State issues seem to
have been lost sight Of and the entire
result is apparently based on national
traditions"
A. Mitchell Palmer, Democratic can
didate for United States Senator, ran
second, with Pinchot, Progressive can
didate for Senator, third. commanding
a larger vote than had been conceded
by the opposition leaders. The four
Republican Congressman at Large,
Scott, Crago, Lefean and Garland,
were elected and the Republicans in
all probability have carried into Office
10 Of the 27 members Of the State
Senate.
It is estimated that upward Of 1,000.-
900 citizens voted, the pleasant weather
having a great deal to do with the out
pouring Of the ballots.
While no estimate Of the complete
Pinchot vote is yet possible, it is be-
lieved that Colonel Roosevelt's recent
invasion of Pennsylvania aided little
in bringing voters to his support

James w. Wadsworth, Republican,
defeated James w. Gerard, Democrat,
for the United States Senatorship by
10000. cambridge Colby, Progress
sive, was third, with a vote that prob
ably will not exceed $4,000.
The Republicans captured the Legis-
lature also by heavy majority.
The results became known early.
Within two hours after the polls closed
Democrats generally admitted defeat
for Governor Glynn. They clung to
the hope, however, that Gerard would
be elected.
/ Supporters Of Governor Glynn had
hoped that he would carry Greater New
York by 10000, and that Mr.. Whit
man would come down to Harlem with
no more than a plurality Of $4,000
These hopes soon were dissipated.
Wadsworth polled a good vote in
Greater New York, approximately two
fifths Of the total number of districts
giving Gerard lead Of only about
10000 over his opponent. At the same
time Wadsworth had a $4,000 lead in

Senator Shively, Democrat, found in
the Indiana returns strong opponent
in Hugh Miller, the Republican candi-
date, with former Senator Beveridge,
the Progressive candidate, polling a
smaller vote than had generally been
expected.
Senators reelected as the result Of
hard battles were Frank B. Brande-
gee, Republican, Of Connecticut, who

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi.
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is a try.
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
Invigorator Of the female organism.

It was all very heavy, very grave,
very angular, this Hotel Ramboullet,
but it was devised for and consecrated
to conversation, considered a new
form OF privilege The precieuses in
their later jargon called chairs "the
indispensables of conversation"
/ have been at some length to give
a picture OF Madame de Rambouillets
hotel because it really is the earliest
modern house. There, where the So
ciety that frequented it was analyzing
its soul in dialogue and long platonic
discussion that would seem stark
vented for itself was urbanite-the
coinage of one Of its own foremost
figures.
1t is improbable to follow on into
the grandeurs. of Louis XIV, if one
hopes to find an advance there in
truth-telling architecture. At the end
OF that splendid official success the
squalor Of Versailles was unspeak-
able, its stenches unbearable. In
spite Of its size the Palace was known
as the most comfortless house in Eu-
rope After the death OF its owner
society, in a fit of madness, plunged
into the recaille. When the restless
ness of Louis XIV could no longer
find moorings in this brilliancy there
came into being little houses called
folies, garden hermitages for the privi-
legged. Here we find Madam de Pom
pLdour in cslicoes, IN a wild garden,
barefoot, playing as milkmaid, or
seated in 4 little gray-white interior
with painted wooden furniture. having
her supper on earthenware service
that has replaced old silver and gold.
Amorous alcoyes lost their painted
loves and took on gray and white
decorations. The casinos OF little
condolences did not glitter any more.
English sentiment began to bedim
Gallo eyes, and so what We know as
the Louis XVI style was born.
And so, at that moment, the idea
of the modern house came into its
own, and it could advances an idea
hardly any further. For with all
the interpidity and passion of the
later eighteenth century in its search
for beauty, for all the magic-making
OF convenience and ingenuity OF the
nineteenth century. the fundamentals
have changed but little. And now we
of the twentieth century can only add
material comforts and expression of
our personality. We raise the house
beyond the reach of squalor, We give
it measured heat, we give it water in
abundance and perfect sanitation and
light everywhere, we give it ventila-
ton less successfully than we might,
and finally we give it the human
quality that is so modern. There are
no dungeons in the good modern
house, no disgraceful lairs for ser
wants, no horrors OF humidity.
