Novel Sandwiches.

Paramount sandwiches are filed with
green peppers and red peppers cut IN
very fine bits, the peppers BENG wrung,
after cutting, through a cheesecloth to
remove moisture, and mayonnaise in a
proper proportion.
Sandwiches named "Sembrich" have
between each two slices finely chopped
ham moistened with cream or butter,
seasoned with mustard and cayenne.
chicken finely chopped and moistened
with mayonnaise. On one slice of bread
spread the chicken mixture and on the
other put the mixture made OF ham. II
is suggested that these sandwiches be
served on lettuce leaves.
Lettuce leaves and pimentos chopped
are mixed with highly seasoned may0n-
naise are delicious. For afternoon affairs
the chopped lettuce is much easier on
gloves than the usual method Of serving
leaf to a sandwich,
Crisp bacon mixed with shredded let
tuce and Capers is delicious; also red
peppers and bacon cut fine and rubbed
into a paste with mayonnaise. For those
who like sweet sandwiches a paste Of
barbecue and cheese is sure to fnd
favor,

FROM WOMAN'S POINT OF VIEW
By BETTY BRADEEN.

Shall tell you one very general reason
why men and women remain poor? Be
cause they have no conception of the
moral obligation OF a promise They
make appointments they never intend
to keep and throw their opportunities
into the hands Of those who know the
meaning Of an engagement and live up
to It,
Now even a punctiiious person cannot
always keep an appointment, but there
are ways Of notifying parties and pre-
venting disappointment and there are
apologies TO salve wounded feelings when
other methods fail OF course, careless
families overlook such matters and at
tempt TO hire irresponsible workers over
and over again. but they are in the mi
nority and all the plums in the business
pudding go to those who can be depended
upon, TO those who keep promises at all
risks.
I am still waiting for an upholsterer
who promised to come 10 me more than a
week ago. and from whom / have heard

The Fashion in FurS.

Never have furs been so much IN evil
deHce as during this winter. Almost
every woman one sees on the street
wears a long coat Of Persian paws" or
caracal. This is partly owing TO the popu-
larity Of the automobile and partly 10
the fact that caracal is really inexpensive.
and is the most serviceab!e fur provided
by the astrakhan family.
Coats are either long and tight fitting
or short and loose. bat all are warm and
appropriate for any occasion or any time
Of day.
Black lynx remains the most popular
fur for nun and stole. while It IS the
s0ftest Of all the furs. II has been found
that the American wildcat wears a coat
that passes easily for the pelt Of It's for
eign cousin. so the price Of domestic
lynx is within the reach OF the average
pocketbook.
Among the expensive fuTs point fox"
has taken the lead Of chinchilla and err
mine. These are both too delicate for or
binary wear, and the fox possesses the
virtues Of both-the softness Of the for
mer and the dressiness Of the latter.
The new muffs are made Of the entire
fox, the padded satin for the hands be-
ing fastened where the center Of the anil
mails spinal column should be, while the
head and tail hang to within ten inches
OF the bottom OF the skirt. They are al

LEATHER COLLARS.

Rumors come from the West, where
riding is an everyday exercise, that leath-

course. but plain rundown affairs of

pleasant and no matter how rough
the going or how warm the day. the
leather collar will remain stiff and neat.
This new fashion should prove a bless

FOR GOLD
FISH AND THEY
WIRE ARRESTED
Two Irvington Men Accused of
Stealing Denizens of Du-
rand's Pond.

George Brush, a retired lawyer, of
Springfield avenue Irvington, and AL
fred Penfield, of rs Paterson street,
Newark, were arrested yesterday on a
charge of stealing goldfish from
Durand's pond. John H. Van Cleve,
VINO is the executor of the estate of the
late Elias w. Durand, was the COM
plainant.
Before his death Mr.. Durand had
spent his time n considerable money
In raising goldfish, which he sold to
New York merchants in large quanti-
ties. In the Irvington Police Court last
night Penfeld explained that he had
gone to Irvipgton to secure employ
ment. and, seeing the crowd around the
pond, went over n took some OF the
fish, thinking they were free for all.
II put the fish back again" he told
the recorder. Mr.. Van CleVc corrobo-
rated his statement, and he was dis
charged.
A pail of fish was produced as evil
dence against Brush. but at his re-
quest Recorder Turton postponed the
hearing until tomorrow night.

Greensward Appeals to

Advent of an increasing foreign popu-

residents of fashionable Essex avenue
thought the affair was the limit when

the choice tufts of grass on the lawns,
The COW was enjoying choice NOR

when word was telephoned to the po-
lice by an indignant resident, and Po-
iiceman Eugene Fineran was dts
patched on his bicycle to arrest the
marauder, but found when he arrived
that Policeman Thomas Byrnes was
towing the peaceful bovine along.

i've in the work of the Peoples Lobby
of New Jersey.
1.-THE principal work of the lobby and
federation has been to create publicity
and discuss the affairs Of the State
governing bodies on the floors of the
legislative halls rather than in COM
mittee,"' said Mr.. Roeder, land follow
ing the achievements of the lobby the
public has a the records Of what
our legislators have done and, what is
just as important, what they have
the policy of the lobby, but there will
no doubt be q change in method, and
the legislative committee of the
Woman's Club can be helpful in many
ways, aiding in bringing forth better
results. We will be glad to receive
from them a list of subjects upon
which the members are at work. and
we win keep them in touch with the
progress Of affairs at Trenton in which
they are interested. We will note the
progress of affairs in which they are
interested, and to. the clubs we will
send word of affairs interesting in their
locality"
Mr.. Roeder spoke of the valuable CO.
operation that could be given by
women's clubs by furnishing to the
lobby reliable information from their
respective municipalities rather than
mere gossip. and advised publicity of
efforts by the Legislative committees of
the various women's clubs.
