A BREACH OF pEcENcY

Editor Press: Recently, in one of til,
giittering cafes of Atlantic City, witt
its numerous cosmopolitan attractions, &
country side maiden, not out of her teens
was accompanied by a swell young man
She was pretty-of course, or she would
not have had the opportunity of his com
pany she is bright and promises some
thing, for future womanhood. She was
enjoying the evening to the greatest ex-
tent in high priced gastronomic dainties,
sparkling champagne and unreasonable
products of the year.
Ye mothers of sons aud daughters !
Just think of it-drinking fluids that
will make ones head swim, make one
forget-forget that woes come as a
later visitor. Drinking in public, drink
ing with man.
As the champagne sparkled so did her
eyes, her rosy mouth was saucy and she
grew very tantalizing i'll her roguisll
merriment. Did the mother know where
her daughter was that night? Did she
know i'll whose society she was? Did
she know how near the brink of destruc-
tion those girish feet stoodg
Had this mother properly trained her
daughter. never would she have been
tempted to drink and especially with a
man and i'll public.
Regardless of society women drinking
at dinners and even saucily smoking
cigarettes, it is as much of a breach Of
decency for cultured woman to drink
in public places as it would be to remove
her shoes and stockings. Good breeding
demands this scrupulous care of appear
ances In Young uirs greater care should
be used.

girls, feminine in the rustic" will forget

OYSTERS AND THE AMENDMENTS

1t is doubtful if any more unique argu
mcnt will be made-in favor of one of the
proposed constitutional amendments than
that advanced by Chief Bacon. of the
New Jersey Bureau of Shell Fisheries
He claims that the oyster industry will
in all probability be greatly benefited if
that amendment is adopted which ex
tends the terms of Assemblymen to two
years and Senators and the Governor to
four years.
To a North Jerseyman such claim
may seem at first sight to be irrelevant
and absurd, but it will be seen that there
is both reason and cogency in it, when
the facts upon which Chief Bacon bases
his assertion are known. There are
$4,000 acres of lands in New Jersey well
adapted to the cultivation of oysters. but
it is estimated that not more than l7.500
acres are in use. Yet from this twentieth
part of the available oyster lands of this
State an annual income of $6.000.000 a
year is received, because there is always
