THE MADE UP NJ
A Plea In Favor of Artificial Aids In
Securing Beauty.

A very pretty subject for discussion
has been opened up by b assertion OF
a lady novelist that the made up wom-
an invariably reigns supreme despite
the rulings of moralists n the prev
alent superstition that the sweet, gen.
tie woman who is neat in her dress
and nothing more is really mans ideal.
That virtue is literally its own reward
In such cases is the substance of the
lady novelist's attack.
Certainly clothes alone will not give
a plain or an unpleasant woman the
advantage over one whose wardrobe
is demode if the latter have beauty
and grace, for it is possible to recall
many instances where the family gov
erness or the wears daughter has
scored over a veritable bevy of fault
lessly dressed women Still, on the
whole, perhaps it is safer for every wo-
man to make the best effort she can
to enhance such charms as she may
possess and to simulate them as artis-
tically as she can when nature has not
been liberal.
Beauty unadorned may and often
does have a very good chance, but
when by no II of means can
beauty be claimed, ven in unadorned
fashion, then assuredly it is decidedly
risky, and one might almost say I'M
dutiful to ones neighbor, not to seek
artiiciality's artful aid. No woman
with the slightest self respect would
go about toothless or bald; she would
assuredly expect if she did that the
faxed woman" would triumph over
her. And If she is justified and in
deed compelled by the laws of decency
to supply dental and hirsute deicien-
cies, why should not a woman who is
pallid, inclined to wrinkles, small eyed
or of Indifferent figure similarly i'm
prove herself?-London World.

A novelty.

Down in the Old Dominion the peo-
pie used to set much store by their
pedigrees. An anecdote is told of the
captain of a steamer plying at a ferry
from Maryland to Virginia who, being
asked by a needy Virginian to give
him a free passage across, inquired If
the applicant belonged to one of the
f. f. V. mo" answered the man, Il
can't exactly say that; rather to one of
the second families" Jump on board"
said the captain. Il never met one OF
vour sort before New York Tribune.

REPUBLICAN PARADE
Two Hundred Men In Line. Lots
of Enthusiasm and Fireworks.

The Republican parade which
marched through the streets of Wild
wood last Saturday night was a great
demonstration and made quite an i'm
preston on the people of the island.
About 200 people were in line, most of
them wearing plug hats. The line was
headed by the Cape May Court House
band and in addition to the music
there were lots of torch lights and
plenty of fireworks, with the Demo-
cratic mule in the rear of the process
sion. Many residences were illumni-
ated along the line of march. Aside
from the transparencies bearing the
pictures of Roosevelt, Gardner and
Stokes, there were those containing the
following:
1.-THE straight way is DR.. Ways
way"
"Look at the BRIGHT side of
things"
'eThree dollars a day is our pay"
ISL. so per day is Parker's pay"
mo more soup houses"
The parade was marshalled by Cen
eral Chew, Colonel Tresher and Cap
tain Ingresoll.
The parade formed at the corner of
Cedar and Atlantic n and
marched to Wildwood avenue, out
Wildwood avenue to Park avenue,
down Maple avenue to New York
avenue, up New York avenue to Mag
nolia, down Magnolia to Pacific ave-
nue., down Pacific avenue to Maple
avenue, down Maple avenue to Allan
tic, down Atlantic to Pine avenue, out
Pine to Pacific and down Pacific to the
Holly Beach borough hall, and then
countermarching concluded at Blak-
er's pavilion, where the meeting was
held. The room was filled with citi-
zens. President of Council J. Albert
Harris presided at the meeting and in
troduced lawyers Samuel w. Sparks
and Thomas P. Curley, of Camden as
the speakers. DR.. Way, candidate for
reelection as county clerk and candi-
date for sheriff w. H. Bright also
spoke. Ex-senator E. L.. Ross was
also lpresent and addressed the meet
ing. Frank Sheppard, who has known
DR.. Way since childhood, made a
speech from the audience eulogizing
the candidate for county clerk. Quite
a number of ladies were in the audi
ence, and Alfred Cooper, of Court
House, editor of the Cape May County
Gazette was noticed in the audience.
Occupying one of the boxes were
Mayor Baker, Postmaster Livezey,
Editor Hamilton and Judge Voorhees,.
All in all the affair was one of the
greatest of its kind ever held on Five
Mile Beach and perhaps in Cape May
county.

Initiati.e.

The world bestows its big prizes, both
i'm money n honors, for but one thing.
And that is Initiative, says Ebert Hub
bard in the American Boy. What is
Initiative? I'll tell you: 1t is doing
the right thing without being told. But
next to doing the thing without being
told is to do it when you are told once.
That is to say, carry the message to
Garcia; those who can carry a mes
sage get high honors, but their pay
Is not always in proportion. Next,
there are those who never do a thing
until they are told twice; such get no
honors and small pay. Next, there are
those who do the right thing only when
necessity kicks them from behind. and
these get Indifference instead of honors.
and q pittance for pay. This kind
spends most of his time polishing 3
bench with a hard-luck story. Then,
still lower down the scale than this,
we have the fellow who will not do the
right thing even when some one goes
along with him to show him how and
stays TO see that he does 1t; he is al
ways out of a job and receives the con-
tempt HI deserves unless he has a rich
pa, in which case destiny patiently
awaits around the corner with a stuffed
club. To which class do you belong?

NEW YoRK's FOREST AREA.
Quite a Lot of 1t in Town Outside OF
the Park.

New York sun: New York city,s forest
area in public parks and private grounds
is still big enough, after years of waste,
to furnish timber for a formidable old
fashioned wooden ayy 10 rebuild in wood
a large part OF the city itself should other
material fail after a con%fagration, and to

Every borough, even Manhattan. has a
considerable forest area outside the pub
lie parks. The upper extremity Of the
island is a wild of woodland, which fur
nishes a pretty fair imitation OF the Adj
rondack forest on a small scale. Even
Brooklyn has outlying scraps of wood
land which aggregates a big lot. Staten
island. seen from a balloon, looks like a
forest with inhabited clearings, and the
upper part of the Bronx has enough forest
to furnish a fair cover TO the denizens OF
the Zoo should they escape.
Up in the Bronx. In spite OF new streets
and new dwellings. you may still see for
est areas in the act of spreading. There
seems, indeed, something IN the soil of
the Bronx that is specially favorable 70
the growth OF trees. Suburban home
steads of not more than a dozen years find
themselves gradually shut in by encroach-
ing shrub.
one householder has recently cut down
naples more than a foot In diameter. the
growth OF little more than a decade, and
the natural forest trees In the same
grounds during the same period nave in
some instances trebled in diameter. Elms
that were mere saplings ten years ago are
now stout trees. which promise in another
ten years TO be almost giants of their kind.
Evergreens have grown beyond recogni-
tion, and the tulip poplars, which seem
to love the soil of the Bronx better than
any other tree, native or exotic, outstrip
all their neighbors.
A walk along the edge of one Of the
larger Bronx woodlands is a simple lesson
in forestry. You may easily count in less
than ten minutes of such a walk three or
four of the eleven varieties of oak said to
flourish there. Bristling along with the
white oaks, red oaks and pin oaks on the
forest edge are the pointed fronds Of the
pignut hickory, the greater and more trop-
ical leaves OF the shagbark hickor.es, the
the sycamore. chestnuts hoary with bios
SONS, the exquisite rich dropping fronds
Of the American elm, the taut, low grow
