That is, it would, inevitably, hap

Miss de Milo might find other work,

In these days.
It isn't so long since a bold male
critic of the arts, past and present,
voted her to be better fitted, phys
icaIly, for a wet nurse than for

The dressmakers of the West End
don't go so far as that, but they read
her out Of the beauty class, and I'M
mpromisingly they do 1t, too.
IF Venus came to me for job"
said Nine. Hayward Of Bond street,

''The Venus Of Milo would look a

Il agree with the artist who said
that the dressmaker's dream is often

Governor Edward I. Edwards has
made statement in connection with

Bernard M. Cannon and Senator
Thomas Brown, both of this city. for
the honor of being elected delegate
to the Democratic national presiden-

has no criticism to make of the ac-
ton of the state committee one way
or the other.
AT the conclusion of his statement
the governor declares that he can

be concluded at the earliest date prac-
ticable so that the uncertainty 10 lhe
