should be observed by those who often
arrange flowers. Use plenty Of foliage
Put your flowers In very lightly. Use
artistic glasses. Do not put more than
two or, at the most. three different
kinds Of flowers in one decoration
Arrange your colors to form bold
contrast or. better still. a soft har-

be to show of the fiowers-not the
vases that contain them; therefore the
simpler ones are far preferable to
even the most elaborate. Glasses for

revert to the time when he was
boy There are no introspections
that bring us the sweet consolation
as thoughts of our childhood In the
earlier days of this country no such
attention was ever given to the COM
fort of the mental boy as is done
everywhere to-day. But in the towns
and villages of we olden time the
boys found a way generally where

Fairgrounds in New York.

The great city of New York, no
doubt, within the past ten years, fiji
teen at furthest has contributed prop
erty in Fairgrounds fully equal to II
not larger than the cost OF all the
school buildings put up in that time.
The great upper East Side has had
number of small parks donated for
that purpose, as have the lower and
middle East states On the West
Side, also, large tracks have been
turned over for this purpose Wher-
ever a public playground is made in
New York it means many millions OF
dollars, for property taken over any
where in Manhattan costs heavily.
have seen the figures of several of
these. but they are not at my COM
mand for the moment yet | know
they must be large. Take the park,
for instance, away down town in the
old Five Points district. While that
park was a pest-hole formerly with
so many dens of vice on it, the prop
erty was held high, and the city had
to pay over $4.000,000 for it. But it
was a great investment Anyone who
ever journeys to that part of New
York any early evening in summer or
winter may find the greatest play
ground lesson in the world right
there The little ones, boys and girls
together, congregate by thousands for
their innocent sports, and 1t is worth
money to stand and watch the intense
eagerness of their enjoyment.

The Playground Movement.

The interest all over the country
in Fairgrounds for children has taken
a deep hold on the United States.
The subject has been considered
from every angle, and the conclusion
reached that the playground is not
only sound but an essential institu
ton. Some facetious maker of prov
cribs wrote some time ago that boy
without a playground is the father
without a job" Perhaps it isn't quite
as bad as that, but it may safely be
asserted that a boy without a play
ground is boy out of a mighty good
job.
It has been asserted in the public
prints that the value of Fairgrounds
in American cities within the past
ten years has been equal to the cash
of the public school buildings erected
in the same time. 1t hardly seems
that this could be true, yet in the
larger cities like New York, Boston
or Chicago it might easily be true.

it was they did, there appears to be
another opinion on their finding. The
experts reported a clean surplus last
December (191O) of over $22 900,
whereas a Pa1isade expert in letter
to the council analysed the report and
declares that the accountants by their
own admission in the report clearly
show an indebtedness of over $1,000.
One of the hardest things to under
stand in the world is any kind OF
report on municipal finances. There
are so many vouchers for this and
that, SO many transfers. so many
interest bearing borrowings that are
something else, so many discounts
that do not mean anything, SO many
different kinds of making ends meet,
so many apparent trial balances, SO
many ramihcations through which the
tax money comes in and goes out
that no Philadelphia lawyer" could
untangle the tangle and know what
he was about at the same time.
The truth is the finances of Fort
Lee need to be looked into. Some
thing is wrong somewhere, and no
BODY knows where it is. The main
thing that troubles tax payers is that
taxes are too high Fort Lee forces
higher taxes than any municipality
in New Jersey By what logic the
present borough fathers may cajole
believing that it is right to increase
any mans taxes 100 per cent. in SIX
wears, is a mystery Since Palsade
was born the rate has been steadily
going higher and higher. 1t may be
argued that Fort Lee six and halt
years ago was simply a cross roads
village with no modern improvements
in it of any kind that the roads were
bad; that there were no sewers poor
schools and the like. SO, so; true
enough But why this everlasting,
non-stopping increase in taxes?
When a man begins the first year
with seventy dollar tax on his home
in Fort Lee borough and sees another
home in Cliffside, an adjoining Dor
ough with only $50 taxes, both houses
worth the same, it is a contrast even
then worth noticing Then to see the
taxes go up year by year till at the
end of six years the seventy dollar
home is taxed $155, there is cause
for uneaslness. Where is the thing
going to stop? There is either un
equal taxation, unjust assessments,
or something wrong. Property has
gone down rather than up, but the
taxes always soar. The man with the
same earning capacity to-day that he
had six years ago feels this burden Of
increased taxes, and feels it doubly
much in the face of increased cost of
living.
Now, if the system of keeping the
borough accounts is wrong, it ought
to be changed Common sense book
keeping should be used-a system
that "he who runs may read" land
understand. A borough should be
run as business. 1t ought not to
be hard to do this. Simplify every
thing; make it plain; then there will
be no i'll feeling between sections, be-
cause complaints will be unnecessary.
The present condition in Fort Lee
borough is intolerable, and that is
drawing it mildly, so far as taxes go

skill, endurance and athletic prowess,

Then, on the other hand, how much
of an incentive is it to take your medi
cine now and then and come home
whipped. A defeat is always great
help to a boy. 1t stirs him to better
effort; it trains his mind to plan and
think and work out processes by
which he can himself be the victor
when he meets his friendly foe.
Already in Palisade this spirit has
taken hold of the little fellows and
the big ones alike. Each team likes
to win for the honor of the town. ]
never saw it fail. 1t affords a mighty
heap of joy for a boy to meet his
ne1ghbors returning from a match to
say, ''We wont" 1t is mental pabulum;
it is incentive; it yields ample return
always for the effort; it makes better
men of boys; it gives them happy
memories for the future; it gives them
mental grasp and poise; it stimulates
to effort in study; it helps a boy to
go through college safe in the knowl-
edge that if he is not diligent in books
he cannot excel in athletics And thus
through the entire evolution of play
runs the benefit to the child. Love OF
home is born within us; patriotism is
the love of country. SO, in every
fight and in every endeavor love of
home is first and uppermost in all
hearts. The ideals of every patriot
are built around the hearthstone.
There is no inspiration like it in all
the world, and no human achieve
ment counts for much that does not
find its greatest JOY at home.

Thus we find the boy in achieving

there that the appeal sinks deepest
