Paris and in London. Mrs. Monroe
came to the White House with
wider experience than any of her
predecessors. and she may be said
to have organized official society
somewhat after the semblance of the
older capitals. where she had lived.
Mrs Monroe brought to Washington
many of the elegant ways of Paris,
both in costume and entertainment,
and was the first to put forth the
edict, still observed, that the first lady
of the land must pay no calls in re-
turn for all those obligatory from all
the members of otficialdom. From
time to time. the wives OF Presidents
have modified the rules laid down by
Mrs. Monroe and her daughter, Mrs
George Hay, but, in the main, the code
remains the same. Mrs. Hoes, who
has lived nearly all her life. in Wash
ington, has written roluminously on
this opening chapter of regulated
amenities and has also contributed to
the general knowledge OF feminine
fashions as introduced into the Amer
lean Capital from the center of fash
ion, Paris.
That most ambitious structure erected

Frontenac was q hotel of renoWn and its
destruction by fire was one of the rea-
sons why this part of the st. Lawrence
ceased to hum with sailing and steam
craft and why the shores were not
dotted with villas and cottages. The
Country Club will fill the need for the
time being, although there is every
hope that another great hotel will be
erected within the next year. Mr.. Nor

The Sun the next morning, came
as great surprise to Lewiston DEM
ocrats.
|. Mayor Brann's friends were plain
ly peeved and made no bones of ex-
pressing their views regarding Mr..
Pattangalrs action.
Groups of leading Democrats dis
cussed the situation and even waited
upon Mayor Brann and demanded
that he run anyway. "Pattangall ,or
no Pattangall."
But it didn't seem good Judgment
on the part OF others to start fight
within the party, so early in the
campaign. and both sides have been
holding fire.
Recently Hon. Obadiah Gardner.
OF Rockland. an extUnited States
Senator, and one of the best known
Democrats in the State. announced
that he was willing to take the nomi-
nation for governor.
while ex-senator Gardner Is con-
sidered a good vote getter, and a
factor to be reckoned with, should
he decide to enter the contest, it is
said he is not just the one certain
factions of the party want
However, some of his friends have
said he would surely run. If Pattan-

Gardner entered the primary fight, it
was understood that Mayor Brann
would go and do likewise 1t was
admitted that such a three cornered
fight as was looming up. would sure
~ be ripper" and would probably
leave the party in such shape that
no Democrat could be elected.
Therefore some of the wise old
heads of the party have been going
quietly and carefully over the sit
uation. with the idea of patching
up differences and uniting the party
upon one candidate.
"As a result it is understood that
Mr.. Pattangall is likely to withdraw
his candidacy: that Mr.. Gardner will
reconsider his proposed entry into
the fight and that Mayor Brann will
be unorOosed as the candidate for
the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor.
"None of the several factions has
authorized any statement intended
to clarity the situation, yet some of
the leaders have been talking. and
1t is their opinion that such will be
the solution of the problem" .

the Doctor decided to close his prac-
tice in New York and come to Maine
to live. The love of his profession
however, would not permit of his be-
coming inactive and on his manifest
ing an interest in the charitable
work of the Waldo County hospital
a meeting was arraigned for the
medical staff and directors of the
hospital to meet DR.. Blaisdell. After
a most cordial welcome from the
staff Edward Evans, president of the
board of directors and speaking for
the board, extended an invitation
to have him become a member of the
staff, which was accepted in a man
ner which left no doubt but what he
would be a live active member.
On the recommendation of the hos
pital staff he >was elected chief of
staff and also consented to accept
a term of service during the summer
months. a meeting of the entire
staff was held Monday at the hos
pital and organized with Dr. Blais-
dell as president and DR.. Pattee,
secretary. Plans were also discuss
ed for still further extending the
field of usefulness of this institution
that is. more and more, becoming
recognized as public necessity.

Mcdonald to Lead
COny Gridders on
Field Next Year

Lewis Mcdonald, a junior, was
elected captain of the Cony high
football team for 1924. Thursday at
meeting of the letter men in that
sport.
Mcdonald who has played all the
year at right guard played football
for the first time this year. In
spite of that fact he has proved to
be valuable man and has played
as many periods if not more than
any other man on the team.
Beside playing football he is also
active in two other sports, baseball
and hockey. He was the substitute
first string catcher on the baseball
team last year and will probably be
the regular catcher this year. In
hockey he showed up we'll, playing
the difficult goal positions in fine
style. AS hockey'is now a major
sport at Cony he will doubtless make
his letter this year in that sport.
He is one of the most conscientious
Woodworking men on the football
team, and was always present at
practice. The decision of the letter
men was unanimous.
The football boys also had their
picture taken on Thursday.
