MOmen'S Norfolk Suits

Not since the Russian blouse came into
favor has there been style over which the
whole world has gone wild like the Norfolk
jacket.
Its loose, easy fitting lines-and it's in
formaliy-have appealed to hundreds of
young girls and grown women, especially In
walking suits.
Like most of the winter coats, Norfoks
growing longer. You can have your
choice of loose box back or half fitted
though the latter style is probably becom-
ing to more women.
No material is too fine good to put
into Norfolts-they even being made of
velveteen and fine broadcoth. And on the
other hand no stuff is too rough or coarsely
woven--indeed. the coarser the better for
some of the suits

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1902.

THERE were some people who should
have been present at the annual meeting
of the Burlington County Board of Edu-
cation. They might have been benefited
by the remarks of the speakers at that
gathering, especially on the point of lib
erality in the matter of conducting
schools. Perhaps they might have been
induced to vote sufficient sums for the
maintenance of the schools to make them
attractive and to afford an incentive to
teachers and scholars to make especial
efforts to keep up the standard Espec-
tally appropriate were the remarks about
compelling teachers to act as janitors, as
there are schools in this county which do
that very thing, and there are some which
even compel the teacher to find and carry
to the school the kindling with which the
daily fire is started Other schools are so
careful of the finances that they will not
furnish any supplies save ink. Yet our
school system boasts of the appellation of
free schools" Children are compelled to
walk two to three miles to get an educa-
ton. To be compelled to furnish their
own books and paper. to sit in room i'm
properly heated and to undergo other
abuses is an outrage and is discreditable
to those who are in control.
