espousal OF the sunragette's cause. but
he allows her to gang her ain gait
without expostulation. With her other
fancies and ideas It IS the same: II they

A woman, however. will lose no time IN
informing her husband that she can't en-

fishing with him any more. Or II bicycling

will never rest until she has got him 20
take up tennis, a form OF sport which
may appeal 10 her personally. but in
which he has no sort Of interest. A man
shows far more good nature in respect OF
his wife's liberty and leisure Long be-
fore she had ceased grumbling at the
untidiness Of his particular den, at the
presence Of pipes and the absence OF
matches in every room in the house, he

A good set OF teeth viii redeem the

10 preserve such a gift as that. Some
women have good figures. others have
grace or style, and the occasional favor

Every man who takes wife is attracted
by some one quality or charm. and some
are sufficiently honest to say so. No

THE TRANSFORMING LACE COAT.

Do women realize what a boon the little
separate lace coat is bound to prove to
them? Do they grasp the fact that by
putting on such a coat over the simplest
lingerie frock they can transform IT into
a toilette sufficiently elaborate for garden
party or for afternoon bridge?
This is what the existence OF the little
lace coat spells In modern styles. and
for the woman who is quick enough OF
eye to catch the lines of the lace models
in the stores such a wrap may be easily
fashioned at home with the help Of
serving woman. The expense Of such
garment is very little. for net can enter
largely into the making. and all sorts OF
lace fragments-and what woman does
not have them?-can be worked into the
pattern. Then, too. although mousseline
and chiffon may be used as a lining. the
fact that many of these coats are without
lining renders the cost still less terrifying.

that fate can be avertcd, he had changed

CHIEF OF POLICE GEORGE p. WASHER.

The chief did not associate the num-
bers with the fact hat he has just
completed two thirteen-year periods of
service.
Asked to speak of his work in. the
early department, Chief Washer said:
when 1 joined the force Marshal
McChesney was at its head. The city
in population was approximately 10000
persons, and the growth in numbers
has not. been very great since then,
but the police in the old days had much
more work. They were fewer in mum
Der, of course. and had long beats to
patrol. But there was quite a little
fighting in the streets; drunkenness
and petty thieving that kept up busy,
But burglary was practically I'M

AGE LIMIT SET
FOR PAID F|REMEN
IN ORANGE DEPT.
Present "Call" Men Over 50
Years Old Are Disap-
kzat pointed.

Several disappointments were created
last night when the Orange Fire Com
mission put the age limit for new men
Tor h city's paid system at 3S years.
Among the men who sought positions in
the paid department were many Who
had for years given service as CALI
men, and these are eliminated. includ-
ing James Mcguire, at the present time
assistant chief of the department. The
plan of the commission was to put only
mel of youthful age, as far as possible,
IN the new system, and the first batch
OF appointees vas selected.
The new fire department will be in
augurated on May /. Six provisional
men were named to enter the service
late in May or June, when the truck
will be placed in the valley section.
The men named are: Garrett, Burns,
Hanley, O'Crowley. Cody, Cullen, Belig.
Cohrs, Lansberg, Baeder, Schill and
Perry. Messrs. Eager, Mcdonnell.
Smith and Schwab will not go on duty
till the truck goes into service, when
1t is probable that there will be sew
eral changes mad in the various fire
houses. All the present captains and
men will be retained. Many Of the call
men who have passed the age of SO
made application for appointment, but
they were not considered. All the men
appointed had to pass a rigid physical
examination. They will receive $500 a
year. The commission transacted a
large amount of business and many re-
forms were decided on.

MAKES A FREAK
OF HIMSELF TO
join A FRAT
East Orange High School Boy
Parades in Straw Hat and
Light Summer Attire.

Despite the attitude of late toward
secret societies in the East Orange
High School the members of n r "a
ternity worked an initiation yesterday,
using the entire city as a scene for
the pranks on the candidate. James
O'Rourke was ordered by the initiating
committee to attire himself in summer
garb despite the chilly turn in the
weather and with a large straw hat
secured at Coney Island and other out
landish garb, and the feature of his
costume was a pair of badly maetd
and discolored shoes.
The youth had to parade up the Main
street and was probably the most I'M
comfortable man in the city for the
period of his dress parade. He was
finally released from his obligation to
march, and hastily DOTTED his garments
for more comfortable material and was
then greeted as a full-fledged member.

Chief Washer was in the department
a year when the Phoebe Paallin muir

efforts by the police to get the muir
derer.

Chief. Washer was born sixty-one
years ago in Sussex County, near New

little of his three score years in APP

BAN ON BULLDOGS AS
VICIOUS is REMOVED.
Verona Borough COunciImen
Divided Oyer New Dog
Ordinance.

There was a lively tilt over discrimi-
nation against bulldogs in a new dog
ordinance at the meeting of the Verona
Borough Council S night. The pro-
vision that caused the trouble was to
prohibit owners of bulldogs and other
vicious dogs from allowing such ami
mails to run at large 1t was con-
tended that the Council had no right
to discriminate over the matter of
breed.
An amendment was made by Council
NAL Bush, which left out the bulldog.
This was holly opposed by Mr.. Condit,
but it was finally carried. On a vote
for the ordinance thus amended, the
Council tied, but it was carried by the
Mayors vote.
An ordinance fixing the yearly budget
was taken up on a first reading. It
was as follows: $1.425 for salaries;
81, 5SS, street lighting; $1,000. roads; $500,
poor; $125, elections; S275, rent: 1915,
