High School Notes.

The examination papers have
nearly all been returned and the
teachers are busy making out the
cards.
The Girls Glee Club met Tuesday
evening and the Boys Glee Club
met Wednesday evening to practice
their parts of the program for the
Farmers Institute next week.
Prin. Slothower read an interest
ing article on Secretary of the
Treasury Cortelyou, Wednesday
morning.
Much difficulty is being met in
trying to form a program for the
recitation periods of the day, SO
that all Rotations may be placed
in periods satisfactory to all. Sever
al new studies are taken UP at this
time of the year, and their arrange
ment in the daily program is often
very difficult matter, owing to the
lack of room in the building to &C
cOmmodate the classes.
An enjoyable rhetorical program
was given by some of the High
school students Friday afternoon.
The program was as follows:

poured in rhc day preceding Christ
ma, New Years was not quite SO
marked. but the New Year rush WAS
enormous AMI "rlipSrI anything pre-
vinu>ly known in the history of the
business.
The sale Of l-ccnt postage stamps
at The New York post office the day
hri"r" tAri:imaS aggregated 100000.
The total number of Christmas cards
mailed at New York exceeded 12,00O.-
600. The total number Of New Year
cardh mail2d at thc same Office en-
cceded 9,000,000, but the Office was
ready for the New Year rush and the
mailS were not blocked.
Thc same conditions prevailed in
all other post offices. For example.
at Newark. \. j.. l.2250.0n0 post carls
were mailed. and 80 unexpected was
the rush that 700. 600 remained in the

or course the same demands for
pensions for Confederate soldiers
will be made. Representative Aull has
introduced bill TO levy one mill
tax for pensions which is about the
amount that is now appropriat ed
and his bill provides that the moray
collected in each county shall be dis
bursed in that county, but it does
not propose to change the present
pension laws.
Mr.. Aull also has bill for the
establishment of rural amounted po-
lice, which was brought over from
last year. The original idea Of she
bill was to let these mounted police
take the place Of the dispe:,sary con-
stables and be paid out Of the dis
p2,lSary funds, but after tho State
dispcnsary was abolished the bill had
to be changed. After conference
with representative Nash. Of Spar
tambury, and other members. ii was
decided to offer as Il substitute Il bill
which provides for the rural mounted
police. leaving to each county to sup
ply the number. The bill rcpcals all
laws which provide for State conSta-
hlcS and for magistrates nStMbles,
the intention being that the mounted
police should perform the duties of
these Offices as we'll is be conscrva-
tors Of the peace and look after the
enforcement of all laws. 1t provides,
also, for police commission compos-
cd Of two free holders Of the county
who do not hold any political Office
and the sheriff Of the county, These
to appoint and have supervision Of
the mounted police. There is to be
on chief i'll each county at Il salary
of $73 per month and Mr.. Aull pro-
poses two additional policemen for
Nrw'hcrry county at %G0 per mollh.
All Of these to do patrol duty.
The State constable and lh, mag
iStratrS' cnn>t ablc> in this county
now cost about $1,000. Under this
bill ihr lnrrr mounted police w"uld
only cost S:E'20 and i; seems /" me
that th" additional prut rrti"m which
they would "ivc I" the "ruplr in inr
rural districts would fully Justify
tha' appropriation. Mr. Mash pro-
poses i"r Srnrlnmhu.. crnlly four
teen mnunlrd policeman.
This measure will very likely come
up for discussion durin" This week.

outer sides is attached pin cushion and
to the other a four leaf needle case In a

should be about fourteen inches high.

or even light weight cloth costume,
pretty white bodice will be found a de-
cided relief to wear occasionally instead
of the dark colored one of heavy texture.
Save for very young girls the jumper,
guimpe and suspender dresses are all
completely out of date, but a reminder
of this style of dress is still to be seen in
the school frocks for young girls, which
have dark net and marquisette bodices
strapped deliberately with wide bands of
'tLo same cloth of which the rest of the
costume is made.
In the schoolroom wash waists of heavy
embroidered linen or of madras made on
severe tailor lines, with turned down col
lar and silk tie, are still worn. but the
lingerie bodice is considered out of {
this winter and should be laid away, not
to reappear until the spring. In the long
run the wearing of fine lingerie waists
underneath heavy cloth and fur coats is
one of the most impractical and exr I've
fashions imaginable. A good silk or even
fine wash flannel waist may cost more
at the outset, but will far outwear the
more delicate texture and will reduce the
laundry bill, and is, besides, infinitely
more in keeping for the time of year, and
in combination with cloth or cheviot, than
the thin, cold looking cotton shirt waist.
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-12-06

only solution to the problem is to have
the dress made with waist and skirt
separate, so that, according to the
weather, thin lace or lined cloth bodice
may be worn. The new skirts sit high
on band of stiff gros grain and, requir-
ling no added belt, look equally pretty
with shirt waist or an elaborate clotn
bodice.
For school wear a dark or soft satin
waist should be provided with coat ano
skirt costume, to be worn INTERCHANGEABLE
with the waist designed with the dress
For the more elaborate costume for sun
day and afternoon wear the most attrac'

II HE girl who wishes to bestow more
Christmas gifts than her allowance
will warrant may hope to carry out
her generous ambition If she is blessed
with the energy and patience to make
number of articles likely to prove more
acceptable than those which represent
merely the expenditure of money. One
Of these home manufactured articles is
an oblong box covered with MORE or
satin embroidered in ribbon work or
hand painted and containing three rolls
of lingerie ribbon which may be drawn
through eyelet holes in the side of the
box.
Nearly every woman is delighted TO re-
ceive a pin cushion, especially one Of
plump square proportions which may
be suspended by a narrow but stout rib
bon from hook when travelling. An
other convenient type is a two inch
high circular affair, with an upright post
in its centre through which may be stuck
needle. This is a wonderful comfort
to the owner of weak eyes who has diff
Guilty in threading a needle. A third
cushion is intended for the vanity purse
or shopping bag and consists of a small
circular mirror with silk covered, thick
ly padded back edged with narrow RIB
bon through which pins may be stuck.
Coat and blouse hangers padded with
scented cotton batting and covered with
satin, silk or embroidered muslin are
decorated with broad ribbon bows at
tached to the root of their hooks, while
for the hat box are fat, round sachet
pads of kindred materials, those Of silk
being bordered with plated or quilted
ribbon and those of lingerie fabrics with
Valenciennes lace.
The girl who can knit rapidly should
devote herself to making the new muller,
which is V shaped in the centre so that
it will fit perfectly at the back Of the
neck, snugly across the throat and lie
smoothly over the chest. They are done
in knitted silk or fine zephyr in all colors
and are greatly appreciated by those
women who habitually wear blouses hav'
ing transparent collars or guimpes
Another attractive article which Il
easily put together consists of fat silk
covered box large enough to be divided
into four compartments. In the centre II

water, on the right a book of soap sheets
