TO JOIN OR NOT no ION

They were chatting over a cup of
tea, after a very busy day, which had
included a tour of the shops, a hasty
luncheon and a club meeting, at
which the one with the dotted veil
had been a visitor.
Yes" she said in response to a
question as to whether she had en-
1oyed herself. Il like to attend a
club meeting once in a while, and
would love to join and cooperate
with the members If | could only
bring myself to think that they were
sincere in their efforts to better af-
fairs IN general. So many get up
and utter platitudes, to which the
others listen with an air of profound
interest, while all the time they do
not know any more what she is talk
ing about than she does herself. But,

When he lost his home county. the
corporation counsel of Jersey CITY
dropped out of the fight. Whether
his defeat at the primaries was
brought about by fair means or foul.
he did not stop to inquire. 1t was
suficient that a majority of his
friends and neighbors had not sup
ported him, and that, in his judg-
ment, ended his campaign. DRYDEN
might profit by his example.
Primaries are generally carried by
ward heelers, and it is no particular
disgrace to be beaten at them. The
Prudential man was beaten at the
polls, not only in his home county.
but in most of North Jersey. Now
he and his Essex friends are trying
to dictate to South Jersey whom the
republicans of South Jersey shall
elect. Having brought all of the cal
they could upon their party at
home, they now seek to bring it upon
the rest of the state.
Nobody else is trying to dictate
anything, though a good many people
are trying to prevent Dryden from
dictating.-Hoboken Observer.

APPROPRIATE BELTS.

A narrow stitched belt, or a wide
ribbon or leather girdle may either
one be worn; whichever is the more
becoming; or a three inch cloth belt
with a band of velvet in the center
makes a nice finish to the dress. The
sleeves should be long for this gown
full at the top, narrowing down to
the deep cuff, which is finished only
with the little white cuff of embroid-
cry. The sleeve should be all in one
piece, the cuff being formed by the
material brought into clusters of
narrow tucks. The sckirt should
clear the ground comfortably, for in
every way this is a purely common
sense dress.
The bodice may fasten in front or
back, as desired, for although a waist
which buttons in the front is the
more convenient, still, fastening in
the back, the gown is apt to fiet bet
ter.
If of any kind of cloth, ever the
lightest weight plaid, there should be
as few tucks and plaits as possible
in the waist unless there is a trans
parent yoke of lace or embroidery in
stead of a stiff embroidered linen coli
lar; a lace collar and yoke can b
worn on a guimpe or sewed in 4
that it can easily be thaken IL an
Numbered.
Naturally a cloth dress is quit

showed their d%isapproval of the deal
by taking action in the courts, the
water commissioners would have
dropped the matter of their own ac-
cord, knowing that they We're in Of
flee to do as the people desired. But
if they did show a disposition to defy
the people and fight the matter, the
case was not so involved but what
the city attorney, who is already paid
by the city to do such work, and who
is a lawyer of much experience, could
have handled it without any extra
cost to the taxpayers.
The people now look to Acting
Mayor Pfeiffer to prevent this reck-
less handling of the public funds. Mr..
Pfeiffer must sign the warrant before
it can be paid to the special attorney.
If the water board had first authoriz-
ed the employment of this lawyer and
the debt had been contracted in the
regular way the city would be duty
bound to meet it's just obligations.
But the people want to know who
hired Willard p. Voorhees, to fight
them on behalf of the water commits
sioners, and they also want to know
by what authority he was employed.
If this bill is paid, what is to hinder
anyone spending money as they please
without being authorized, and then
charging it up to the city? 1t is bad
business. 1t is loose handling of the
taxpayers money, which all know, is
of city improvement. Acting Mayor
Pfeiffer has an opportunity to show
the people that he is on the alert,
watching the city treasury. Even If
he agrees with the water commission
ers in their purchase of the land in
question for SIS, 500, he should con-
duct an investigation to learn why
the city attorney did not conduct the
case in the usual way instead of hir-
ing special counsel without authority
and paying a bill of 1907 for the
work when an attorney is already be-
ing paid by the city.
1t is up to Mr.. Pfeiffer now. The
water commissioners have deied the
people and seem to be determined to
draw as much money as possible out
of the city. Mr.. Pfeiffer can prevent
it.
If there were no other way left
open to secure the land at Runyon,
the action of the water board would
not appear so bad, IL they can con-
denim the tract and ave the city thou
sands of dollars.
Instead of trying to save this, how
ever, the board is spending hundreds
more of the peoples money in order
to get rid of it, If the commissioners
persist in this kind of work a thor
ough investigation will be in order.
If no n else will do it, the attention
of the grand jury should be called to
the ma tier and perhaps they will take
some action. Perth Amboy has no
money to waste and the water board
should be brought up in this high
handed action with a round turn.
