Build Now
From Golfers Weekly

From Golfers Weekly
Just a year ago, based upon econo-
mics and the times, we advised those
who had idle money to put it in stan
dard stocks and first class bonds. We
now venture another bit of advice
based upon the coming end of the era
of depression. If you intend to build
soon, do it now. Borrow, if necessary,
whatever under your WI circumstan-
ces, is a prudent portion of the cost.
All the elements for such an operation
are cheap. Money loans at the lowest
rates for years; labor Is a little less
costly than it has been for years, much
lower than it will be for a long time to
come. The materials for construction,
especially lumber, are very cheap.
Flooring, in most localities, is 20 per
cent. below its price a year ago; and
hardwood may be had for the former
cost of soft woods. Build now for your
own advantage; you will employ idle
labor, relieve dealers of their stocks,
aud help along prosperity for all. For
such as reside where the weather makes
present building impossible, the oppor-
tunity may wait till spring, but surely
not much longer.

pyeina Feathers.

1t is said that the best way to dye
feathers is first to wash them in soap
the solution made from squeezing a
tube of paint into a bowl and adding
enough gasoline to get the right tone.
After the feathers have taken on the
desired color they are hung out to dry.
If a woman has not tried this method
she should not go into it wholesale
with a lot of handsome feathers.
1t would be wise for her to try it
first on a small white feather. which.
If ruined, will not be much loss.

EFFECT OF CLOTHES.
Women Uplifted or Degraded BY
Beauty or Ugliness of Apparel.

women Oplifted or Degraded by
Beauty or Usliness of Apparel.
That clothes have a tremendous In
fiuence on the feminine mind has al
ways been acknowledged. but it has
remained for the ultra modern expert
ments to prove that this influence Is Il
vital one and can be turned to account
In reforming the criminal and insane.
The poor demented creatures who fill
our insane asylums are compelled to
wear the institutions wrapper" a
hideous garment which would destroy
the beauty of a goddess.
Several writers who have been TAX
ing up the subject lately are maintain
ing that If the insane women were al
lowed to wear pretty clothes the eff
feet upon them would be quieting and
helpful.
The wrapper takes away their self
respect and makes them feel that they
look hopelessly ugly. and they do not
care how they behave when they have
1t on.
On the other hand, when some Of
them have been dressed up" they
have Immediately shown a tendency to
have better hammer and behave quiet
~ with a decorum entirely foreign to
them In their ugly garments.
OF course these experiments have
not been made on the violently insane.
A French magazine recently publish
ed a long article claiming hat expert
ments had been made In a certain re
formatory for women which went to
prove that the worst type of women
criminals can be controlled by the
power of clothes.
The rules of this institution provide
that the inmates shall dress according
to their behavior. This means from
prison stripes for the sulky and I'M
manageable to house gowns of lace
for those who prove themselves wor-
thy to wear them d%ecorously and with
appropriate
The article goes on to say that no
prisoner ever wears the stripes longer
begins to feel the degradation of them
and aspires to be the best dressed wo-
man In the prison
These women are shut off from the
world and see no one but their fellow
criminals, and yet they remain con-
tented, many Of them, for years be-
they are allowed to dress accord
ing to their satisfaction.
The simple deduction from all this is
that properly gowned all women would
be perfect" ladies'. O., good and
docile and obedient.
The conquering spirit of clothes
who can deny 1t in the face of the
following pathetic little anecdote?
1t Is said that a box of old clothes
which had been sent In charity to a
certain poverty stricken home where
a little girl lay very Ill contained a
half wornout pair Of colored, berib-
doned dancing slippers. These caught
the sick child's fancy, and she imme-
diately began to take an interest in
living.
With the pne LEA in her mind that
when she got we'll she could wear those
slippers on the street the poor little
bit of feminlnity conquered her malady.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL.
Dear Sir FL would be very much
pleased if you would allow me to pass
q few remarks regarding the beautiful
island called Wildwood or Wildwood
by-the-Sea, as it is generally termed.
Having been a frequent visitor of
Wildwood for several years l notice
how quick the lots are disappearing
and beautiful mansions, cottages and
bungalows which are the pride of all
Wildwood are taking their places. On
my first visit l was surprised to see the
beautiful wild flowers and especially
the stately water lilies in the middle of
large ponds. l had often thought the
country was a beautiful place, but l
changed my mind when | saw Wild
wood. L at first wondered why the dis
discovers of Wildwood called it Wild
wood, but, / soon found out the reason
when | paid my long wished for visit
and saw the beautiful forest and wild
flowers of all descriptions and species.
| am sure there must be about thirty
or SO different varieties of wild flowers
in this well deserving island called
Wildwood. On closer attention / no
ticed how 4 vel, solid and safe the
beach was. 1 believe it to be one of the
most beautiful beaches [ have ever
seen. Hence when the catch phrase !:
ocean Bound, Flower Gowned and
Forest Crowned Wildwood" was APP
piled to this beautiful island, l am sure
it was quite appropriate and the New
Jersey lady was worthy of the prize
which was given namely, one hundred
dollars. On my last visit to Wild
wood-by-the-Sea in summer, | thought
that the catch phrase was a little over
drawn for the present location. 1t is
true, we will always have the first
term, Ocean Bound, and the last term,
Forest Crowned, is fast developing in
to beautiful mansions, magnificent cot
tages and comfortable bungalows. The
second term, Flower Gowned, we can
perceive if we are very careful and
watchful. L wonder very much that
the liberal Board of Trade or Council
have not taken any interest in this
direction. Probably they have al
ready. If they, the Board of Trade,
should offer prizes for the best kept
gardens and lawns it would create a
kind of friendly rivalry between the
allied resorts of Five Mile Beach and
induce it to be more interesting for resi-
dents and summer cottagers alike. 1
am sure that enthusiasts would offer
prizes without any hesitation, such as
the phllanthropic Baker Bros, the
energetic Henry Ottens and our own
Philadelphia, Thomas Martindale,
would be found to be generous and
endeavor to preserve the term Flower
Gowned Wildwood, and make it re-
main forever n of the most beautiful
