rnentarlan Mr. Hobart is native Jerseyman ana
a graduate OF Rutgers College. He was Speaker or
the House OF Assembly and twice president OF the
state Senate and in 1884 was the Republican caucus
ror,ineo for United States Senator, That same year
he was chosen a member OF the Republcan Ma
tonal Committee. and he still represents New-Jer-
.av IN that body. The esteem In which Mr. Hobart
is held by his feow-Jerseymen may be inferred
from the fact that the recent State Convention
unanimously recommended him to the National
Convention as a candidate for Nce-Presdent. MI
Hobart Is emphatically in favor of gold standard
and IT was largely through his influence that the
Republican State Convention OF New-Jersey adopt
ed the following plank:

Boarding house etiquette is not a new

his or her existence under a landlady's rule
pleasant or disagreeable in proportion to

II You desire to enlist in the noble army
of boarders remember there is right and
wrong way of achieving this end, and II Is
the first step that counts with the landlady.
The first step is the manner in which you
solicit lodging. In our large cities there
arc formalties on this point to be observed.
II through friendly recommendation or an
advertisement you decide to investigate a
house, ask AT the door TO see the mistress,
say distinctly to the servant that you have
called to make inquiries about rooms and
send up your visiting card
II you have a card at hand and the sery-
ant seems slow at catching the name, rise
courteously when the landlady enters, pro
nounce your name in full, saying for in

follow this statement by saying In what
newspaper or by whom the house was

And just as naturally the opinions are wide

worn underneath instead of petticoats.

For example there was one adorable lit
tie gown OF red serge, banded all over with
black broadcloth, worn at the rink by Miss
Gerry. This, cut in bias strips, with the
edges left raw, went round the skirt bodice
and sleeves in bold stripes, which were
splendidly effective on the red background.
The skirt was three scanned circular model

WHY EVERY WOMAN SHOULD USE Them

No one will attempt to dispute the fact that IL
Is TO womans advantage to be good looking:
therefore 1t is az uTgCHt necessity that every
woman makes II IA practice to take of her
self and use every means known to enhance her
physical perfection, and thereby retain her self
respect and happiness.
The advanced methods of Identifying so sue
cessfully employed by Nine Yale enable every
woman in the land to regulate her own beauty
ana Increase her good looks every day. When
Nine. Yale first made her dicoverics she did not
ask any one TO use them until she herself had
done so. She did not make a claim for them
until she herself had become beautiful from their
use. and now, at the age of ij. ana after using
her own remedies for twenty-five years, she is
celebrated as the most beautiful woman living,
is n grand demonstration of wat her remedies
will do; therefore this Is why every woman in
the land should use Nine Yale's remedies, and
use plenty of them, and grow beautiful and be-
come happy.
