creamer's Name Causes Stir.

Ground work was laid for an early
suit in the Ohio supreme court to test
the right of David Staley Dreamer, for
mer state treasurer, as a Democrat, to
hold the Office of member of the state
board of administration, by appoint
ment of Gov. Frank B. Willis. When
as a. unit the IS senators voted in IA
vor of a minority report of the finance
committee against his confirmation by
the senate, the basis for the suit was
established. Submitting meekly to the
demands of Gov. Willis, but with Sc
cret misgivings, the majority voted to
confirm. To make the disapproval OF
Dreamer more pronounced, the Demo
Gratis later voted with the Republicans
in the confirmation of James Boyle
and w. H. McGiffert as members of
the state tax commission, to succeed
Chris Pabst and 3. E. Mum. The suit
in quo warranto in the Ohio supreme
court will not be filed until Creamer
has given his bond and taken his place
as successor to Joseph P. Shaffer. AS
it is not likely that Dreamer will pre-
sumo to- act until the case is decided,
the board for some weeks may have
but three members.

was a Harvard graduate, a handsome
young fellow, had plenty OF money and
an assured social position on two hem

talk about when the engagement Of Miss
Mamie to Robert Gould Shaw was an
nounced. They had a notable wedding
in Charlottesville in 1897 and went to
live in Boston.
But after a child was born to them
they disagreed and Mrs. Shaw obtained

With the debut Of Elizabeth Lang
horne, the eldest of the sisters, nearly
twenty years ago, the name of the five
sisters has become Synonymous with a
glorious American loveliness. And then
about the time Charles Dana Gibson
came forward with his black and white
study of American loveliness, the Lang
horne family came most decidedly before
public notice, for it was no secret that
the inspiration for Gibson's sketches was
Miss Irene Langhorne.
In the meantime the marriage of Miss
Elizabeth Langh6rne to T. Moncure
Perkins took place. He came of an old.
conspicuous Virginia family which en-
joyed long and well established rela-
tions with the society of Philadelphia
and New York.
Three years later came the marriage
of Irene Langhorne and Charles Dana
Gibson. By this time the Langhorne
family was famous throughout the
United States The Langhorne girls were
invited everywhere. Everybody was glad
to entertain them, and their charm, splen-

Soft and Gay Were First Egyptian Silks

THEY even went down into the
tombs of Egypt Of the third to
seventh centuries to get silk
costumes for the first national
silk convention ever held in the United
States. The silks were brought to-
gether at Paterson, N. j., recently. and
coming from all lands and being of all
hues they literally swept spectators of
their feet.
The Egyptian silks were worn and
SCARED looking but they were not so
grewsome as might be imagined. In

the Langhornes have been for many gen.
erations. but 1t was really not until the
marriage OF Irene Langhorne to Charles
Dana Gibson that these beautiful daugh-
ters became known to society at large
and to the public. That was about twen-
ty years ago. Miss Langhorne had gone
to New York to live and make a visit
ly received by society In 1899 she led
the Patriarchs' ball and it was pretty
we'll agreed that there was no more beau
tiful woman at this assembly. To the
charm of her beauty Miss Langhorne
added fine breeding and intelligence.
Charles Dana Gibson. who at this time
was just coming prominently before the
public with his illustrations in the week
lies and in books, met Miss Langhorne at
White Sulphur Springs and promptly fell
in love with her. Somewhat like the
type OF American girl whom he was Gre

eyes. slight droop of the mouth. clear
complexion and splendid figure.
Their wedding took place in Rich

Miss Phyllis and Miss Mamie. were
among the bridesmaids. Among the
ushers was Richard Harding Davis. the
novelist, whose books the bridegroom
had illustrated.
Following their marriage, the Gibsons
settled down quietly in New York. For
long time, it is said, Miss Gibson de-
clined invitations to go about on the
ground that she could not afford the ex-
pense of an actual social existence.
Moreover. she was thoroughly bound up
in her husbands ambitions and in the
little family that presently came. Her
popularity, however, never diminished,
and when greater means had come to
her husband she took up the threads Of
society again with undiminished pres
tige.

youngest of this family of American
beauties passed from the home Of her
father, Colonel Chiswell Dabney Lang

There was unending speculation in
social circles over the matrimonial pros

the LGnghcrne family. Her debut was
one of the most brilliant events of the
