said the girl, as she tried to find a softer place

Montclar is an intensely religious place.
Church spires point up through the trees all
over the town, and denominational lines
strictly drawn. At one time. it is said. there
was some sort of controversy between the Pres
byteriars and the Methodists II hinged on the
dancing and card playing question and some
differing points in their respective creeds. The
Presbyterians began to more of each other
and the Methodists formed separate set, II
finally reached point where they rode In sepa-
rate ears.
I'VE had Presbyterian car and a Methodist
car" said Of the conductors. They even
wanted a Presby terian brakeman for their car,
and the MethOdsts Pat in a like request. As
brakemen were little shaky in matters
of religion the request could not be granted.
These divisions no longer exist, however, and
the spirit of the Montcar commuters is well
expressed by the man who said;
Il wish there was only One train day; then
a man could meet all of his friends

and two packs of cards used in order TO
save time. While the hand is being dealt out
some one is shuffling the other pack. They play
on pieces of stiff canvas which are strapped 20

the side of the the other. One woman

midst Of the Oranges. yet the passengers who
come down TO the trains from their fine homes
on the hill would be insulted if any mistook
them for residents Of South Orange. The peo-
pie who live in BernardsyiIle are different from
all OF the others. but then. they are not real
commuters, for they live in the country only
during the summer.
Newark commuters cannot lay claim to being
the real article They live in big city. with
paved streets. over which many noisy trolley
cars run, and four lines of railroads run through
the town.
There is no better place to study Jersey COM
muters than the Hoboken station of the Lacka-
wanna railroad Every working day forty thou
sand commuters pass through its gates, that is
twenty thousand come 10 the city in the morn
ing and in the evening the same number go
into the country TO sleep. System and plenty
OF roilng stock make il possible for the rail
road 20 handle this vast army without conges-
ton, though il comes during four hours a day
at the rate Of almost eight thousand an hour
Ferries deliver the commuters at the station
in large patches, and they sift themselves into
the proper trains with the confidence that comes
from having done the same thing many times
before. deep voiced crier shouts directions

The conductors Of the various trains stand AZ

about the men who conduct their trains They
either like the conductor they dislike him very
much. When popular conductor is transferred
from one run 10 another there Is an immediate
protest on the part Of his regular passengers
Commuters who have figured In the picture
stories Of the humorous papers have always been
represented as carrying all sorts of bundles on
their evening trips. The Jersey commuters
really do this sort Of thing. and seem to think
nothing Of it. surprising number of laundry

no one seems TO know just why so many men

AND RECORDS

From the Atlantic Highlands to Cape May the
Jersey shore boasts more delightful links than
that of the Seabright Golf Club. In the season
rounding to its close this popular little gOlfing
stretch along the Shrewsbury River has played an
important part. Though the oldtime open tourna-
ments have been abandoned. team matches, bOgie
tournaments. handicaps. whatever other golfng
novelty could be devised for play have kept
the links in daily With a membership of more
than five hundred draw from it is needless to
say that support has been ample.
The club is one of the oldest i'm New-Jersey
Originally organized in 1895 and Incorporated two
years later. it's has been of comfortable
prosperity, favored by the kind OF patronage that

which holds most of the Seabright and Mon
mouth colonies borders on one portion of the
grounds. and the Shrewsbury River bounds the
other. This combination has given to the club the

"Montclair people are the most ladyOus and
gentlemanious that have ever come in contact
with' was the strange way in which another
conductor expressed his opinion of the 700 or
800 commuters who live in that pretty little
town on the mountain side They never make
any complaints, and they treat decent"
Then he spoke OF their wealth. 1t seems that
there are two or three men in Montclair who
are supposed to have saved up S1,000.000. He
mentioned their names in tones deeply respect
full This respect to moderate wealth was re-
lief after NewYork where IL takes at least
S1O0OOOD0 to make a showing and four or five
times that much 10 be numbered among the
wealthy.
There time when all not peaceful
and happy on the MontClair division Glen
Ridge and MOntclair used TO be suburbs Of
Bloomfield. Then Montclair set up municipal
establishment of her own. and the rivalry was
fierce. Bloomfield residents refused to recog-
niZe their old friends who lived further up the
mountain. Finally Glen Ridge broke away from
the mother town and became a separate villa ge.
This several years ago. however. and the
old sores have healed.
