do not think that they have them.
The reason may be that Asbury Park
is q city of ten Thousand inhabitants,
and one can always find things to do
somewhere In a large city.
One thing impressed me very much
and that was the large number Of
private cottages which seem to gather
along the northern coast. The woods
we're full Of them. The northern re-
sorts seem to cater very little to excur-
sionists, more to private cottagers,
this makes their eason longer than
ours; It also takes more money into
their towns, and builds many hand
some homes. In my judgment, 1t
would be a good thing for the Five
Mile Beach II those who have cottages
for rem could be pursuaded to rent
them to private families only and not
to those who intend to use them as
small cheap boarding houses.
The owner may not get quite as
much actual cash for the use Of their
cottages, but would they not be just as
we'll of, and perhaps a little better,
counting on wear and tear, In the long
run? l believe they would.
Five Mile Beach stands to-day among
the most progressive Of seashore resorts
along the New Jersey Coast. 1t is to
be congratulated that II has back OF it q
sufficient number Of energetic and en-
terprising men to guarantee its further
development.

Rector of the Wildwood Episcopal
Church.

According to the Mexico Ledger.
John Stobie. a Wellston magistrate.
united a negro couple with this cere-
mony:
Jim, win you take Bet
Without any regret
To love and to cherish
Tnl one of you perish
And ls laid under the sod.
So help you Godf
Jim having given the usual afirma-
tive answer, Judge Stobie turned to
Bet:
Bet, win you take Jim
And cling TO him,
Both out and In.
Through thick and thin.
Holding him to your heart.
Till death do you partf
Bet modestiy ~acquiesced, and the
newly married couple We're dismissed
with this benediction:
Through ltfe's alternative Joy and strif,
/ o pronounce YOU man and wife.
Go up life's hill till you get TO the eve
And salute your bride. you dusky devil!

THE ART OF COMPLIMENT.


There Is still an art Of compliment.
and It Is still practided worthily and
unworthfly. The iatterer OF today
deals little tn words. He acts and.
above all, he initiates. We all initiate
each other with a pitiful diligence.
All classes try to dress alike, talk.
alike and even think alike. With q
sad want Of dignity men and women
fear TO take their own Tine to show
the kind o. hospitality which best be-
fits their ives. to wear the clothes
nest cot for their work. to talk
Upon tn q which interest them.
to expfess the disapprovai which the
class above them rsdic1le ~ the
miraf1on which ofends b pfashidm
leaders OF literature and art.
The art of compliment may. how
ever, be well worth the study Of an
those who value the pleasantness Of
life above its pleasures. Graciousness-
is never out Of fashion. We must tell
our friends from time to time what we
think of them. There r reserves
which blight the whole beauty Of life.
But we must be at the pains to tell
them in the right way, for friendship
In some of its aspects Is an art. Again.
If we hope to get much enjoyment out
of social life we must take the trouble
to show ourselves well disposed and
must know how to turn Indifferent
and insignificant occasions to account
This cannot be done without consid-

of present, one Of those little gifts
which, according to the French say
ing. cement great friendships. and
when one desires to make a present 1t
Is worth while to try to find out what
will best please. They are happiest
who know by instructive sympathy.
but surely those who take pains to
find out have nothing to be ashamed
of. Setting aside the great essentials
Of happiness. health. family affection
and the love of work. it is probable
that nothing, no amusement and no
hobby and no pursuit" contributes
SO much to the ~pleasantness of life as
the traffic in kind speeches.

HOUSEWIFE SUGGESTIONS.

To clean a copper kettle rub the ket-
tie with powdered bath brick and
p%araf1n and then polish 1t with dry
brick dust or whiting.
The green tips of celery or minced
leaves of brussels sprouts may be sub
stituted for parsley when that is not
obtainable for garnishing.
When pouring out tea one
times is annoyed to find the tea will
run down the spout. To prevent this
rub a%.little butter around the outside
of the spout
When thin tumblers stick together
and there is danger of breaking them
do not try to pull them apart, but put
them into a pan of warm suds. In a
short time they can be easily separat-
ed.
If housewives who dislike to find
worms when cutting apples would
first put the fruit in cold water they
would find that the worms would
leave the apples and come to the sur
face of the water.
When cleaning house look well TO.
the picture wires, foE they rust and
often break apart near the screw eye.
1t is best to put in new wire or cords
on very heavy pictures. Do not place
a mirror where it viii be in the sun
light or near any intense heat. for
both ruin the mercury. and 1t is in
possible to have the glass replaced
without considerable expense.

Whether In Business Or Social Life,

whether In Business Or Social Life,
II ls Necessary TO Successes
A certain amount Of pride Is one
thing La this world absolutely essen
tial to every n Whether It be In
social Life or business. 1t Is necessary
70 success.
Haughtiness and xnohtishness are
not what is meant: far from 1t. It
means the ability to hold your own
with others in a way that commands
respect.
Nor does 1t mean a rehearsal OF who
your grandfather was and how much
money you would have II an ancestor
had not been e~xtrayaganf. It means
personal dignity.
When a girl goes into a business Of
foe to apply for her first position the
employer does not want her If she is
for support and " she Is continually
rearrangfng her attire. A certain
amount OF Is TO be expect
ed. but uncontrolled self consciousness
and visible silly fear are evidences of
the hack Of the right kind Of pride.
Nor does the employer want her who
tries TO tell him how much she knows.
Boldness Is even worse than being too.
timid. The girl who wins Is straight
forward, Is not afraid to answer ques-
tons quickly and honestly. knows that
she Is willing to try, even though she
may make mistakes. and so shows that
she can maintain the dignity necessary
In a we'll regulated Office.
The appearance often spells fortune
or failure, for 1t points to pride. or
lack OF 1t.
Extravaganza Is not necessary for
the girl who wants to look well. She
who spends the least amount Of money
ON her attire is the girl who often
makes the best appearance.
She studies what is becoming to her
She buys what she needs and no more.
No one could make her buy an unbe-
coming necktie or belt because 1t was
reasonable. Then she looks well as to-
how her clothes are put on. 1t may
take her a few minutes longer In the
morning 10 dress, but the result pays
amply for the extra trouble she takes.
Reasonably done, this ISN'T vanity 1t is
pride.
