your mirror needs, whatever

small heart mirrors in old Ital-
ian effect, with charming gar
land and medallion decoration
on their dull gilded wood
frames.
Here is a Chinese Chippen-
dale mirror. Near it a pair
of quaint shield mirrors with
dull little black oil paintings
set in their tops.

with cut-crystal ornamental

there were so many kinds of
mirrors, for so diverse decora-

will find here.

Democrats Protest
Holding Up Army,
Navy Nominations

washington, Feb. 4.-Steps looking
to confirmation by the Senate of pro-
posed promotions of army officers be-
low the grade of brigadier general
were taken late today by Republican
leaders, who indicated, however, that
confirmation could not be expected of

worth. Republican. New York. were

continuation, at least in large part, is

the nomination of Brig Gen. Frank Nc.
Intyre, chief of the insular affairs
bureau, to similar rank in the line.
A specific exception of General Nc
intyre's case was made, Senator Wads-
worth said, because he would be forced
cut % the army unless his nomination
were confirmed before Martn 4.
Senators Robinson of Arkansas and
swanson Of Virginia complained vigor-
cusly against the Republican clan of
holding up confirmation of the IL ma
Ger generals and 90 tr'gadicr generals
nominated.
senator Swanson also objected TO
''-lding up nomination of navy officers.
except bureau chiefs, but Senator
Lodge said the navy officers were in
different position from thu army Off
GERS because the navy officers would
hold over until December 3. and could
be confirmed in the next c, ngress.
Senator Robinson declared that re-
fusal to consider the nominations of
generals was a humiliation and dis
grace. "a reflection on every gallant
soldier in the list"
Denying that any reflection was cast
upon the general officers, Senator
Lodge said that the country had not
forgotten the politics that kept Theo-
dore Roosevelt from going to France
and that kept Crn. Leonard Wood at

1920 Aspect of
Plymouth Rock
May Be Restored

plymouth, Mass, Feb. 4.-Ply-
mouth Rock can be permanently
patched in such manner as to restore
virtually its original shape and to
preserve it for posterity in the opin-
ION OF Cyrus &. Dallin of Arlington,
the sculptor. Commissioned by the
Pilgrim precautionary commission to
determine the best method of rejoin-
ing the rock which is now in three
places, Mr.. Dallin said today that .he
thought modern science methods in
Guiding the application Of some of the
principles Of dentistry, would bind
the boulder together again in such
a manner that it would stand for CEN
turtles. 1t is planned to restore it to
Its former place on the shore line and
to the aspect presented when the
Pilgrims made their landing.
The sculptor said he found the rock
fully exposed probably for the first
time since it rolled in on a glacial
movement that made it the only
boulder of any size on this coast for
several miles. The under surface is
rounded like other glacially worn
rocks and having been covered prob
landed and by mud since has q light
er appearance than the two exposed
pieces into which the upper part has
been broken. Mr.. Dallin estimated
that originally the rock measured
roughly eight feet by six. 1t has been
broken and Clipped from time to
time. relic hunters have carried off
pieces and some of the original con-
tour has been lost, but he thought the
work of restoration could be made to
approximate closely the rock as 1t
stood when it was made the stepping
stone for the forefathers 800 years
ago. 1.-THE fathers never saw it as I
have seen it, just now, fully exposed"
he said.
In connection with the plans to re-
store the shore line to it's former ap-
pearance, the Society of Colonial
Danes proposes to mount a new can
opy over the restored rock in place
of that which had stood for so years
until it was demolished recently.
