LOCATION FOR
THE HIGH SCHOOL
QUESTION OF LEGALITY OF
USING CENTRAL PARK IN LINE
WITH BUILDING BONDS ISSUE.

What about the hish school build
ing This is question that is be.
ing asked by many people in Ardmorc
now and so far no one has been able
to give a satisfactory answer. Some
time ago bonds were voted to build a
high school building, the amount of
the bonds voted was only enough to
erect the building, and the city has no
site on which to place the building.
Attorneys who have been consulted
on the matter report that it would not
he legal TO take any part of the bond
money and purchase site, as the
people only voted for bonds TO erect
the building II has been suggested
that the central park on West Main
street he given 10 the school board,
but the members of the park board
state that they have no legal right TO
do this: that the money invested in
the park was also voted by the citi-
zens for park purposes, and that i
could not be used otherwise. II has
also been suggested by many that an
election be called and the people vote
10 give the central park property for
the site. while others favor calling
an election for the purpose of voting
more bonds and buy site. Three
places as suitable sites for the build
ing have been mentioned. The park
site on West Main street, the old
Hargroye College site at the end of d
street. northwest, and the Palmer
property on ID street, between Third
and Fourth avenues.
The members of the school board
when asked about the present sltua-
ton and what steps they would take,
stated that a meeting would be call
ed at an early date and some arrange
ments made, that by all means the
high school building must be erected
and that there would be a satsfac-
tory way arranged to handle the prop
osition. It is expected that probably
the bonds already voted will be placed
on the market and an election called
at an early date to vote bonds with
which to purchase a site. Bond buy
ers are anxious to buy the bonds al
ready voted at a good premium, but
they have not been sold for the rea-
son that the money would not be
needed until arrangements for the
( site were made. 1t is probable that
meeting of the school board VIII
be held some time today and the mat
ter of securing the site settled.
The members Of the school board
met at the city hall this morning
TO take action ON the bond matter,
hut on account of the absence of \.
c. Young and Col, c. /. Byrne they
adjourned. Another meeting will be
called as soon as they return to the
city and some action will he taken.

Toothsome Ways For Fish

boils and then allow 1t to simmer
gently for thirty minutes or more.
When ready to use strain through a
PURGE sieve, add a tablespoonful of
lemon juice and stir until it boils
once more. Add salt to taste and it
is ready to pass with the fish.
Mashed potatoes, when they are TO
be offered with a fish course, may
have a new little touch in the flavor

drain and put through a ricer Add
butter size of an egg, some salt and
some cooked tomatoes which have
also been put through a sieve. Use
enough of the' tomatoes to moisten
only. Serve piping hot
For another fish sauce, simple yet
good, cook together a cup and a half
of stewed (fresh or canned) toma-
toes, half a green pepper and half an
onion, all mined very fine. If there
is a little lean ham at hand add this
also. Cook ten or fifteen minutes,
then strain and use the PURGE thick

butter and flour as sauce. Use salt
and pepper for seasoning, to taste.
Instead of the plainly boiled pota-
toes so often passed with a fish
course try Drowned potatoes served
individually. Chop rather fine sew
eral cold boiled potatoes, sprinkling
them with salt as you cut them and
a little onion juice. Butter the indi-
vidual ramekins, put the potatoes in
dividually in them to the depth of
an inch or more and dot with bits
of butter all over the top. Pour in
three to four tablespoonful of boil

be heated throughout by this time.

view of political questions and to

up to influence the county, State or ma.
ton.
81 wish that every girl in the world
were so situated the President is
further quoted as saying, that she
would not think it necessary for her
to marry unless she really wanted TO-.
Now the question arises, as to how
the girls of the country can reach this
position which is their due. l believe
that the most important education
possible is that kind which may be
called industrial vocational educa-
ton, the kind that puts young men
and young women in a position from
which they can by their own efforts
work themselves to independence.
"The best thing you can give a
young man is a good education and
that sort of ambition which will lead
him to carve out his own career and
to make his own position in the world
of men and events. This is no Jess
true with regard to the girls of the
country. The great trouble has been
that we have never given women a
fair show. We have not opened to
her all the means of livelihood that
she is able to fill. In fact, l believe
that women today are kept out OF
some sorts of work which in certain
respects she is better able to fill than
men are.
81 have said in some of my speeches
i'll various parts of the country that
am very glad indeed that l shall have
no property to leave to my boys. Tc
my two sons | shall leave only a good
character, a good education and a
pride in themselves, but for my
daughter l intend to scrape together
as much as l can give her and to train
her in such manner that she shall
take in the great fact, that for the
sake of her own happiness, she shall
marry only when she chooses and not
because of circumstances.
81 am not one of those who believe
that matrimony is a necessity fol
women. There is too wide an impress
sion among our people today that if ,
girl does not marry, she is not sue
cess in life. | do not think it can bC
too strongly impressed on girls tina
matrimony is not necessity. Their
can be, as a matter of fact, cases whel
exactly the reverse is true. l meal
by that, some women would hav
been greater successes unmarrie,
than married"

much in the general effect. The
wrong draperies can detract much
from the effect of fine furniture or
beautiful pictures, and the right
draperies can add much to the beauty
value of the simplest furnishings. If
you wish to take a degree in the fine
art of home-making, let the portieres
and other draperies slip perfectly into
your scheme of furnishing, so that you
will feel their beauty of color and
charm of line without scarcely being
conscious of their individuality.

SEPARATE WAISTS TO BE WORM

Separate waists are always worn by
some women, and there is every indi-
cation that during the winter the more
elaborate waists of lace net and lin
gerie will be worn with coat-and-skirt
costumes. The palmer white blouses
and shirtwaists are only suitable to
wear with the most severe tailored
suits; they really look better with
these than do the too elaborate chiffon
or net waists. Exquisite bits of en-
broidery and fine lace and entire lace
waists are again smart with velveteen
and corduroy, but one should have also
a waist to match the skirt in color and
trimmed with some of the same ma.
terial. The separate waist is a most
economical fashion, for it makes pos
sible a change with the one street suit
-Harper's Bazaar.

blouses are almost inseparable.
A sleeve that is slightly fuller at
the elbow is appearing in some of the
taffeta suits and gowns. Large black
velvet hats have trimmings of white
tulle. These are worn with afternoon
dresses. Fringe and aigrettes also
are favored
A beautiful prune-colored beaver
was trimmed with an ornament of
white soutache braid. The simplicity
of trimming is a welcome and marked
feature of autumn millinery.
Lace wells in white are worn with
beaver hats.

fective model.

NEW SKIRTS STILL NARROW.

The new skirts are scarcely wider,
but the manner of their cutting adds
much in the way of novelty as well as
in the note of the new influence. For
instance, overskirts are one of the
features most prevalent, even draped
overskirts with their fringe border re-
calling the sixties and seventies. In
evening gowns the variety in skirts is
past description. There is the skirt
with it's long serpentine drapery of
lace, another which has floating lace
panels. There is the overskirt OF
beaded net with deep fringe often
falling over a lace foundation, and,
most poular of all, the deep lace yoke
made of a flounce slightly gathered
at the high waist-line, reaching mid,
way between the hips and knees, be.
low which falls the weighted skirt OF
accordion-pleated lace or chiffon. All
of these skirts touch at the front and
sides, and have a train from six to
twelve inches deep, lined or unlined
according to choice The foundation
skirts are never more than two yards
wide, but the weighted lace or beaded
chiffon is, of course, much wider
