How Do They Exist9

The last time I passed 1t was with
a strong temptation to shake my UNI

be fashion plates and tell him what l
thought of him. You poor, insipid
specimen of mankind" thought I, sit
is a pity they do not try to exterminate
you, for you are worse than the mos

One cannot help out wonder where
these "1illies of the field" procure their
fine raiment. One is sure they do not
work, for are they not OF the curb at
all hours?
And surely they are not all possessed
OF parents so proud and overload that
they would encourage such outrageous
idleness and lack Of purposei
Yet they always look most prosperous.
That is, as to clothes. Their faces
have a lean and hungry expression
that might betoken mental unrest. But
that is not the question-we care not
whether they work or where they pro-
cure their garments. We only want.
them to take themselves out of our

GOVERNOR FORTS WIFE
is A CHARMING WOMAN.

Mrs. John Franklin Fort. wife of the
Governor, is a woman of charming and
gracious personality, very retiring in
disposition.
Before her marriage she was Miss
Lottie Stainsby, daughter of William
Stainsby, a prominent politician, of
Newark. She is tall and slender with
hair tlnged with gray and expressive
dark eyes.
Being very domestic In her tastes,
she devotes most of her time to her
home I'M children, and especially to
her little grandchild. son of Franklin
w. Fort. Mrs. For is q member of
the Woman's Club of Orange and the
Essex Chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution of East Orange.
The Fort family attend the Mum
Avenue Presbyterian Church, of East
Orange, of which DR.. James M. Lud-
low, who made the prayer at the in
augural ceremonies, is pastor. For
some years they have resided at 81

There are two sons and one daugh-

Let rhem MAKE Handkerchiefs.

From time to time we have heard
that strong measures were to be taken
to get rid of those young men, and we
have r~e5oiced accordingly. But they
still haunt the corner, standing in a
row in front of their favorite cigar
store and passing remarks of various
degrees of boldness upon the unescort-
ed women who pass by.
1t Is a trying ordeal to a woman to
have to pass that drugstore and feel
the impudent glances which are cast in
her direction, and 1t seems as If the
time to act is here.
There is a flourishing industry not
far from this city, into which it might
prove a good idea to initiate some of
those young men-the making of hand
kerchiefs for the county. Surely per-
sistent loaflng and annoying of others
should be met with punishment. Men
are not allowed to obstruct sidewalks
with produce, etc. Why, then, should
they be allowed to obstruct the side
walks with themselves? MOLLIE.

1t seems to me thai you could do nc
worse injury to a young nan of this
city than to term him a Market and

If those young gentlemen CD of leis-
ure, for whom apparently life holds no
greater ambition than a desire to out
dress each other, could be made to
realize just where they stand in the
regard of those who have to pass them
daily, they could moi help but shrivel
into nothingness.
I was shopping the other afternoon,
and you know what that means.

same neighborhood. At least three
times at intervals Cof at least
an hour 1 found 1t necessary to
pass the drug store on the corner, and
each time hat I passed / could not
help, but notice the same row Of pasty,
blank faces and impudent stares.
From 1 O'Clock until 5 they stood
there, and of this I am positive. How
much longer they stayed I cannot say,
but 1t is safe to wager that it was
nearly midnight when they departed
for the places where they sleep. They
can hardly have what you and I call
homes, else they might grace them oc-
.casionally.

to the 4anics OF '93, 'S4 'S and 81. He

continuing until 1899, when consumption
had outgrown production, thereby causing
a great boom in the building of factories.

WIFE OF GOVERNOR
WHAT SHE WORE AT THE
INAUGURAL CEREMONIES.
Held Informal Reception with Daugh-
ter and Daughters-in-
Law.

TRENTON, Jan. z2.-The gown worn by
Mrs. Fort at the inaugural ceremonies
yesterday was of gray chiffon cloth. She
was a cluster OF orchids.
Mrs. Franklin W. Fort, the Governors
daughter in-law. wore blue velvet trim
med with white lace. Her hat was of
White felt adorned with blue feathers.
Miss Margretta Fort. daughter of the
Governor, wore a gown of champagne color
crepe de chene. and a hat of white satin
with a profusion of white feathers.
Mrs. Leslie Fort, wife of the Governors
son, who is the private secretary, was
gowned in tan voile and lace. She wore a
hat OF white lace.
The women of the Governors party wore
the same costumes during the afternoon
reception.
In the evening Mrs. Fort wore a gown
Of white lace.
Mrs. Franklin w. Forts gown was of
yellow silk with gold trimmings.
Miss Fort wore q black net princess
gown and carried a bunch of American
Beauty roses.
Mrs. Leslie Fort wore the gown she
wore when she was married, about a year
ago, a beautiful creation of meteor crepe.
Mrs. Fort decided yesterday afternoon
that she would not stand on the receiv-
ing line at the receptions, there seeming
to be no precedent in New Jersey, not in
recent years at least, for the appearance
of a newly inaugurated Governors wife
at such functions.
Mrs. Fort, however, with members of
her family, received many of her per-
sonal friends in the Governors private
apartment, both afternoon and evening.
Many Trenton women met Mrs. Fort,
and they all agreed that she was a charm
ing woman.

A well-known man Is responsible for
the assertion that women are going the
wrong way around in trying to work
out the man. reforms with which we
are confronted. He scores women for
what he calls gross neglect Of their
homes" and declares that no until they
return to the dignifed ways of their
grandmothers will they make the i'm
preston they are seeking to leave be-
hind them. He even goes so far as to
quote another, who once POLITICALLY said
of women, in relation to her home, that
the soul of the house vanished when
she was absent from it.
If we are to take such severe criticism
seriously, that is what is the matter
with a considerable number of the
homes at the present day-they lack
the presence and the guiding hand of
the housewife, and the spirit of hospi-
tality and comfort appears to have de-
parted from within their gates.
why this man asks, "do women
persist in knocking at the doors of the
Legislative hall for the privilege Of the
ballot and for what they term their op-
portunity to extend their sphere of in
huence and usefulness? Are they not
aware that they are running weakly
away from the one problem that really
confronts them-the preservation OF
home ideals and happiness under
changed conditions of domestic serv-
ice?"
1t is really enough to make us stop
and do some thinking, for we all realize
what a problem the servant question
- lo,a-.o ATsUbt me- not thpOr1h
intelligent administration, make the
home more attractive to servants, and
the family as we'll? The former, like
any other class Of employees, take no
interest in a badly administered organi-
cation, and we cannot blame this man
when he asserts that too many women
have abandoned their posts of duty and
are striving to substitute other attrac-
lions for those of home. ;,
1t must be acknowledged that there
is very little hospitality in the homes
of today. Women have lost their in
terest in their dwelling as a place in
which to entertain their friends. True,
they entertain; but how? Is It with
that old-fashioned hospitality our
predecessors knew, when to be sur
rounded in the home by ones friends
was a privilege and an honor? No, in
deed. If there is a friend to whom
hospitality must be extended the last
thought is to invite them to the home.
Instead, we arrange a luncheon at some
country club or fashionable hotel, where
none Of the attractions OF the home
exist and where we are surrounded by
strangers and d~isinterested people.
The question we need to ask ourselves
Is: How far Is this view of the old
fashioned women correct? Is home,
sweet home" becoming a poetic ira
dition, and should feminine reform, like
! charity, begin at the hearthstone2
