Manifested in Selecting Suits

width is from three to four inches, and
the style is proving very popular, even
though it is so different from that of a
year ago.
The favorite among the single-breasted
sacks is the three button variety. 1t has
a lapel roll from seven to eight inches long,
while the fronts are but little cut away
below the closing and turn bluntly into
the bottom. The four-button sack has
either straight or cutaway fronts. The
three-button double breasted sack is a very
handsome coat.
In overcoats the close fitting Chesterfield
is the leader. 1t is attractive, comfortable
and convenient, can be worn at any time
of day or night, and with any style of
coat. The back has a one-third length
center seam vent, and the collar is self
faced. The lapels are either peaked or
down-slanted. The hip pockets have flaps
to go in or out, and the flap of the breast
pocket may go in or out or be welted
Next in favor to the Chesterfield is the
covert coat and for morning wear it is the
leader. For afternoon and evening wear
the paletot either single or double breasted
is almost as much in demand as the Ches-
terrified. 1t is moderately long wasted and
the belled skirts fall half wayS down the
calf. Then there are storm coats and
ulsters of various shapes and patterns.

Novelties in Table Lamps and Shades

the top and bottom in regular but not very
full gathers, as is the case with most foun-
dalton shades on which a fancy cover is to
be built.
IL one can paint in water colors the next
thing is to cut out of water color paper a
piece shaped exactly to the lamp shade
This piece is then painted in a floral or
fruit design or in a design showing pompa-
dour figures, etc.
After 1t has been painted all the blank un-
painted spaces are cut out. The piece of
paper is then tackled to the foundation
shade with small stitches of silk or it is
fastened on with gilt headed tacks or the
clamps used to fasten several sheets of
paper together.
In the case of women who cannot do
water color painting it is quite possible to
make lamp designs of wallpaper Floral
designs, lattice designs and fruit designs
have recently run riot in wallpaper, and 1t
will be no very difficult matter to find one
having the proper pattern for lamp shade
Care must be taken, however, to get not
only an appropriate design, but one as
finely carried out possible, because since
the design must be cut out perfection Of
detail is necessary.
Small lemons among clusters of dark
green leaves, blackberries, green leaves and
reddish vines, pink, yellow, white and
cream roses, especially the climbing and
wild roses; pansies with large punches of
foliage, peonies with their red stems and
dark green leaves. wistaria clambering over
lattice. peaches, also on lattices; dark
plums, pale green leaves and branches;
carnations, red, pink and variegated with
their grayish foliage; autumn leaves in red
and yellow sprays, holly berries and their
leaves, wreaths of laurel and pine are
among the innumerable good designs for
these shades
Besides these, which may not only be
painted, but may be found in the wall
paper. there are for those who paint all
manner of delicate designs of Vatican
shepherds and shepherdesses, idyllic scenes
OF nymphs, princesses and mystical court
scenes, etc. The thing not to be lost sight
of is that the design must have sufficient
background to make the cutting away of
the intervening spaces worth while.

business wear. Even in evening dress
some new features have been introduced
which make it more attractive.
Some Of the fall and winter features in
coats are startling, but none the less artis-
tic Most noticeable among them are the
length of the coat and the extreme close
ness at the waist of the sack and the Ches-
terfleld For the extremely fashionable
man the coat fits almost as snugly at the
waist as does a surtout, and it is thirty
five inches in length for a man OF average
height. Dame fashion is generous this
year, and does not make it imperative
that every man shall wear clothes of such
description. The conservative man may
be all that style requires and wear the
half-shaped style of coat, which may be
three or four inches shorter than the ex-
IRENE.
The roll of the lapel varies according to
taste. The extremist must have the roll
eight inches in length, but the more con-
servative have theirs made six inches and
a half to seven inches long. STILL "A good

Speaking Of hats one Of the local dealers
who knows one when he lays eyes on it
says this: For the last few years soft
pinch crown hats have been all the rage.
This shape is now giving way to the Alpine
shape and the telescope hat with the crown
folded in. The colors for two seasons in
soft hats have been tan, shades Of tan and
brown. But for spring wear pearl, the
previous popular shade, will be the thing
with black and light bands, in Alpine
shape pinch crowns and telescopes.
in the telescope hats the tendency is
toward higher crowns distinctly. We will
see a strong revival of the Alpine and
Fedora shapes, which will largely take
the place of the pinch crown, especially
for short, fat men. 1t will be a nice change
and an agreeable break in the monotony in
that line.
"A little soft low-crowned hat with a
bound edge took New York by storm this

however this may be- the effect of the
lamp is the same, and it has never yet been
bettered by the most up to date electric
light bulb or gas fixture
The very newest thing i'm lamp shades is
both artistic and inexpensive, and has the
great advantage of being adaptable to any
room and any occasion. This is a positive
advantage. for the oriental lamp shades,
beautiful as they are are out of place in
many parlors whose furnishings have no
rich oriental colorings, and the lace and
silk draped shades are equally inhar-
moRicus amid the every day surroundings
of the ordinary living room.
But the new idea in lamp shades labors
under none of these limitations. 1t en-
braces every order of decoration which can
be included among designs based on natural
motifs, and is suitable alike for the most
delicate drawing room and the most useful
living room.
Moreover, it is not only inexpensive. but
may be very successfully of home manufac-
ture.
1t embraces simply the use of water color
paintings as lamp shades, and when water
color floral designs are beyond the purse or
the art of the lamp shade desiring person
then wallpaper will do.
The new shades are made In any possible
shape. They may be square, rounded,
slightly sloping or exceedingly slanting.
They may not, however, be globular, but
must present fiat surface or series Of sur
faces, no matter how sloping. The founda-
ton consists of an ordinary shade, covered
with China or some other equally thin and
unpretentious silk or it may be crepe OF
even paper of a solid color and gathered
slightly.

Most of the shades" said a dealer, ARE

among the newest lamps those of the
tree design stand conspicuous for their
beauty of outline and coloring The wide,
spreading dome shaped globe slightly fat
tened on the top and curving over at the
side well below the light is decorated with
a design in foliage and flowers.
THE slender standard in green-toned

the standard. An apple tree, green-leaved

another design.

flowers aud great dragon flies. The light

Penn's Groves Boardwalk.

A gang of riggers under Jas. Diver,
Esq. is rapidly working into line the
heavy sections of black oak and iron
blown from the sides of the old monitor
"Lehigh." The Lehigh is the last of the
six monitors that have been torn to
pieces on the shore OF Mr.. Divers farm.
She was built shortly after the civil war
for the Coast Defense" and during the
Spanish-Amerlcan wal was reftted for
the North Atlantic Squadron.
The debris from these old veterans has
been utilized in the construction of a
bulkhead and boardwalk extending from
the sluice at the old ice house down the
shore to the sluice draining Summerill's
and Giblin's meadows.
MI. Diver shows the proper town spirit
in erecting a bulwark against the waves
and thereby protecting the land and in
creasing the value Of the property. This
not only benefits the individual land
owner but indirectly benefits all the cit
liens of PENIS Grove. The boardwalk
affords convenient and pleasant pathway
along the river front not only for many
of P. CPS people but also for the numer-
Gus summer visitors. If Mr.. Diver keeps
up the good work Atlantic City may some
day have to look to her laurels. The
RECORD most heartily congratulates and
commends Mr.. Diver.
