Strikes and rumors of strikes seem
to be the aIl-important topic of con-
versation now. The entire country is
in the grip of the struggle between
capital and labor and business in
many places is az standstill. Perth
Amboy is not escaping this contest.
indeed, it would appear that from the
size of the place, we are getting more
than our share. What the outcome
will be, no one seems able to foretell
at present.
This much is known, however, that
building in this city has greatly fallen
off. Fewer houses are being erected
no than for some time. Architects
say they draw plans, and file them
away because the people claim build
ing is too uncertain. This is a hind
rance..to the progress of Perth Amboy
and, as in all such affairs, the third
party. the public, is the greatest
sufferer. For the welfare of all con-
cerned it is to be hoped that some
settlement will be reached before a
general strike is called and before any
more loss of time and money is ex-
perienced.

Now. this is the very worst kind OF
knowledge to give a woman, for while
there are some women who will keep
secrets as long as they keep a friend
ship or a partnership. there are prac-
tically none who viii keep a secret lon
ger than the friendship or partnership.
Finally. tired of eternal squabbling
and discomfort, tired OF being imposed
upon in the name of friendship, the
woman takes quarters all by herself,
and for half the money and bother she
gets comparative luxury. Then what
happens? Each afternoon when she
comes home the blighting demon of
loneliness descends upon her. From
each unlighted chandelier and from the
darkness Of the fireplace she can see il
peeping. IN the morning it grins at her
from each empty corner of the room,
until in the end it gets on her nerves,
and she can stand it no longer. Then
the inevitable happens. She marries,
not because she loves the man. not be-
cause she wants a home-fOr if she is
clever woman she can provide that for
herself-but because she wants some
one around IN the case of the ordinary
woman l suppose II is well enough for
her TO marry in that way, for the or
binary woman half the time marries
for a more trivial reason than love,
but i'm the case of woman of the tenn

To Change the Subject.

The more / study the subject of dress
the more ! am struck by the fact that
there are two distinct ways of dressing
-one a fussy one, requiring chiffon
wells, tulle rosettes, pearl chains and
a thousand little frills and furbelows
which are detachable, and the other
comprising a few costumes, well made
according TO the standard styles, with
out any other accessories than a hat
TO match each costume. Even the shirt
waists of such a wardrobe are severely
plain. no thin material and no inser-
tons, but stitched plaits and a severely
tailor made stock fastened with a dull
gold pin.
It takes twice as much money to
dress in the first way, the frilly way,
and even then one does not always look
fresh and immaculate. Give me the
plain, neat style, be it in a dressy gown
or a tailor made. 1t even lends dis
tinction to a plebeian face and a none
too distinguished manner.
This very thing is the trouble with
the average girl who has a small in
come-she attempts more than she can
carry out and thinks lot of finery put
on tackily worth more than a simple
gown and hat which match in color.
Take my advice, leave what my Eng
lish friend calls the bobby diddles"
alone and invest your money in few
good things.

WOMAN'S LOT IN PERSIA,

Theoretically. she is about on the
mental plane of the guinea hen. From
all part or lot IN the interests of the
thinking. acting world she is tradition
ally disqualified.
Her spirit is attuned by immemorial
inheritance to monotOny. which may be
varied now and then by sound beat
ing from her husband.
This she accepts as one does an IN
salutary change in the weather. She is
practically a prisoner, with not much
to do and no company save that of her
children and other fractions" ike her
self.
With these she is in most cases not
on the best of terms. and if she tries to
make away with the children of her ri
walls at given opportunity it is no
whit more than they would do for hers.

needs; she is not accounted a sufficient

first husband was nearly related. The
friendship with the wife soon extended
to friendship with the husband. and
Countess Waldersee is said to be the
one woman whose judgment the kaiser
ever appealed to or whose advice he &C

The countess is very clever and clear

Prince Bismarck hated her, as he hated
all clever women who interested them
selves in politics, and he had reason.

THE CARE OF THE FEET
New York.

The feet need quite as much care as
the hands and at this season of the
year this fact should be carefully re-
membered.
If you would keep your feet in healthy
condition wash them thoroughly every
day. In cases where there is any tend
ency 20 excessive perspiration twice a
day is not too often. Use warm or
tepid water and a good soap and be
careful to dry the feet thoroughly aft
erward. for dampness between the toes
leads to soft corns.
In hot weather the feet have a tend
ency to swelling. and therefore for
summer wear it is wise to have shoes
half size larger than those usually
worn.
People who suffer from hot. dry and
very sensitive feet Will find it beneficial
to battle them night and morning
with tepid water in which sea salt has
been dissolved. If there be any sore
ness the application of a little good cold
cream at night is to be recommended.

Felt Hats still Popular.

From what I notice the felt hat with
the upturned brim is going to be as
popular as ever this fall. This makes
very good hat to begin on, at any
rate during that trying season when it
is too early for dressy velvet and too
late for a shabby straw
There is no doubt that a waist is a
great saving, and yet no waist is smart
unless it matches the skirt with which
it is worn, we are told. I find that the
most useful of all, as well as the most
artistic. is the black crepe de chine
blouse handsomely made and worn with
a black cloth skirt which trails becom-
ingly. Surmount this with an all white

for certain amount of powdering
seems to be permitted by universal
consent nowadays Most of the face

from ground tale. potato starch or

sometimes seem TO assume on the skin
