ART IN SHIRT IRONING.
A Little Disquisition From an Ironer
on Ironing Shirt to Fit.

a Little D1squsttion From an 1roner
on Ironing Shirt to Fit.
Prom the New York SUI,
Shirts ironed to it, read a sign In a
laundry window. and a man who was curl
Gus enough as to what that meant to go In

Of ironing q shirt one the slap dash, any
way. the other the careful, painstaking way
that results In bringing the shirt back into
its original lines. 30 that 1t will put on and
hang as 1t was intended to.
This means. In the ironing Of a starched
shirt, that It is ironed. as to the bosom. In
such a manner that the two parts of the
front will meet and match perfectly 80 that,
in the case Of a button shirt, they will but
and trim. without. waves or wrinkles; and
so that IN the case of a stud shirt, the stud
holes will match truly, permitting the studs
to be placed easily and leaving the bosom,
when the studs have been placed to lie
smooth and trim as in the case described
of the buttoned shirt.
TT means ironing the shoulder pieces Of
the shirt as they should be ironed, ana get

the proper and comfortable angle to the
body of the shirt, so that It will be easy

American Ancestral Homes.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Now that the American millionaires have
had time to look about them and have conc
txacted the habit Of visiting Europe. where
they are received by royalty. It is not sur
prising that they should be taken with q
desire for ancestral homes. In the first inn
pulse several Of them have bought up the
ancestral homes of impoverished English
aristocrats and attempted to enjoy the
emotions which are commonly ascribed to
the man who inherfts baronial halls. Oil
portraits. tombs and vast game preserves.
It has been noted however. that after q
turned up again in the neighborhood OF
Wall street. where their most exciting and
happiest days have been spent. The fact Is
that life in the foreign ancestral home Is
too like q pioneer existence to please the
American millionaire for long. To equip the
place with electric lights or even with gas;
to install O hard-coa1 furnace and hot-air
pipes, and all such modern improvements
as hot and cold water. dumb walters. cleo
trio bells, swift footed young servants. tele-
phones, soft carpets and whatever makes
living CONFERENCE.-The things for which
the millionaire labored in his most active
days-would be ridiculous. No man can ex-
perience or pretend to experience the state
Of mind Of q born arfstocrat in his an1
cestral home without submitting to ancient
conditions
The shrewder American milhonaires pro-
pose to build their own ancestral homes IN
their own country within easy reach OF the
busy cities and where no traditions bind
them to the life Of prtvation which Is the
lot Of tho foreign artstocracy.

COAST GOOD.
Reports Come that Weak Fish
Have Held on Longer than
Usual.
COLD SNAP is FELT.

The greatest catches Of weakfsh
and bluefsh made off shore in many
years, late IL the fall, have been
hose of tho,past month Of October,
and so far in November. The blue
fish have gone now but the weakish
~holdsonSyet.
The fsh'nave been caught largely
with gill.nets. The plan of work re-
quires the gill net II the power surf
boat. The fish do not move about
much, but seem to lie still in school
or pockets iuts off the beach. The
fishermen locate n school, and with
their power boats surround it with
their nets often getting five to six
thousand pounds a day. Those who do
not have power boats use their bank
skiffs, but the big surf boats, with
four or five horsepo wer gasoline en-
gines (the boats being almost twice
the size of the ordinary bank skitf)
have been able to go out and make
big catches when the bank skiff men
were unable to go out in their oar
propelled craft, because of rough seas
There are few pounds left in service
since the storms of September and
October. Will Bodgett's pound at
Point Pleasant, ana the Woolley
pound at Italy, south of Sea Side
Park, are the only two left on the
Squan and Island beaches in Ocean
county. They nave not as a rule done
much, owing to the fact that the fish
move about so little. Blodgett is re-
ported as making a 500 barrel catch Of
late. The Woolley pound had had
almost no luck compared with what
boat7fi shermen at Sea Side Park, La
vallette, rChadwick and Mantoloking
have been catching.
The price of fish has run high all
