One of Charlie Laws pretty wait
resses told a Jersey City News" re-
porter yesterday afternoon that they

If it was SO. he smiled and told him
he didn't know, but to ask the other
girls. The other girls looked indignant
when the subject was preached to them,
and of them emphatically replied:
We'll you can just bet an oyster stew
that I won't veal them for one. If
Cleopatra is going crazy, I'm not. She
must haev wheels in her head, which

Neither does Mr.. Laws, and he says
that the girls need not lose any sleep

black bedecked humanity poured over

with long, dark overcoats, with a huge
yellow chrysanthemum in his button
hole. Occasionally a girl was seen decked
out in the lark blue of Yale and wear
ing a bunch of violets, but the colors of
the New Jersey College were in the as
tendency.
Mr.. Otto Grouse, who hasn't forgotten
his Princeton games, was early seen go

SUCCESSFUL TERM CLOSED.
Work Done in Hasbrouck Instituf
-Numher of Runils Increaaad

Work Done in Hasbrouck Institute
Number of Pupils Increased.
The first quarter of the school year at
Hasbrouck Institute ended yesterday. More
students have been enrolled during this term
than during any other term for the past five
years. Also the special school in stenogra-
ply and other commercial branches for both
day and evening classes has a large attend
ance, although it has been opened only a few
weeks.
With the beginning of the new quarter, on
next Monday, special features will be intro
duced in several departments. The scien-
tifc department has been greatly benefited
by the construction and equipment Of a ply
sical laboratory adjacent to the chemical
laboratory, so chat students can ave the ad-
vantage of learning how to make their own
apparatus for illustrating and proving the
laws of physics. The science department. has
now four large rooms one for recitations
and lectures, a second for storing apparatus.
another for students to perform experiments
in chemistry and the fourth for a general
work room.
The primary department has increased SO
much in numbers that an additional room
and a new teacher nave been provided for
it. On Monday Miss Mable Snow, of Roch-
ester, will come to assist Miss Morris. Miss
Snow is a thoroughly trained and exper-
fenced primary teacher, who comes to Jersey
City with highest recommendations for her
work.
The Kindergarten, in charge Of Miss Fair,
has also a recent assistant, Miss Emma Rad
ford, of the Felix Adler School, in New
York City, and this department. is steadily
growing also.
The work in primary and kindergarten
departments is probably the most technical
of all school grades, and so is the work which
requires not only experienced, but trained
teachers, teachers full of enthusiasm and
love for children. The Hasbrouck Institute
is especially fortunate in the provision it
has made for these departments. which fur
nish the foundation of a thorough education.
