NOBODY WANTS THE JOB.

For the second time, the Civil Service
Commission last Saturday endeavored
to hold an examination to fill the vacan-
cy in the postmastership at Smiths Lam
ding, and as in the first instance the at
tempt was futile, no applicants present.
ing themselves. The Pleasantville Press
believes that for the good of the bor-
ough this Office should be discontinued,
especially because no suitable person
wishes the postmastership. If this can
be done and rural delivery route from
Pleasantville postoffiee established to
serve patrons in the lower section, it
would be long stride towards placing
Pleasantville in the list of second class
offices and Fastening that much needed
service, the general free delivery of mail
throughout the town.

Nowadays when people want anything
they look in the newspapers to find
where to get it. If they want the SER
vices of painter, carpenter, plas-
terer, plumber or any other mechanic
or tradesman, they expect to find
card in the paper. They look for it.
If they find one the advertiser gets the
job. Advertising pays.

Novelties for the
Engagement Party

When Cupid scatters his handful of
Easter engagements to make hearts
glad and other hearts sad. the friends
of the bride-to-be begin to think Of
announcement parties-pretty little
compliments to the girl about to as
sumo the more serious duties of life.
Money is not so essential as origin
ality to the success of party of this
kind. The clever hostess finds some
inexpensive way of paying the tribute.
Above all things she makes the af-
fair as intimate and as free from for
mality as possible.
One girl invited twelve of her
closest friends in for tea. Everything
was quite usual. Ice cream appeared
in a variety of flower molds, roses,
lilies. daisies. buttercups and the like.
At the very last came an ice cream
bride. standing cool and straight with
her frozen train and paper mache

served to the chum of the hostess the
guests hastened to extend congratula-

Unable to survive the shock of a
delicate and dangerous operation,

dents and made many warm and last

ated he entered the Charles Warner

a thorough study of the various bran
ches of that company's business and
had become familiar with its many
operations.

French organide will be worn this
summer, and may be had in exquisite
colorings.
Fabric hats are the summer inno-
walton. They are trimmed with flow
ers or ribbons.
Even veiled fabrics are frequently
to be seen done in the approved
tailor-made effect.
Blouses of white muslin usually
show a pleated frill-wide or narrow,
but always a frill.
J The new cobwebby crepes are love
ly for evening wear, and come in
every delicate shade.
Tiny buttons of colored enamel
metal, jet or steel are much used on
the new blouses.
Garnitures Of crystal beads and jet
are much used on evening frocks of
chiffon and satin.
Quantities of French laces-called
Shadow" laces-are seen on some Of
the smartest models.
Lingerie collars, jabots and berthas
are among the most fetching acces-
sories of this seasons models.
Large fiat hats are lined with col
ored cotton crepe sometimes stenciled
in pale blues and pink
Ball trimming of either Irish GRO
Chef or beads is one of the minor de-
tails Of dress this summer.
Many of the hats are weighted with
odd close-curling ostrich plumes, as
unlike the willow" plume as can
be.
Some of the new blouses are made
wholly of bands Of shaped pieces of
embroidery. Joined together with lace
Silk and satin roses are much in
evidence for corsage decorations and
finishing the girlde at the front or
side.
English eyelet embroidery is having
a continued favor and is Tremendously
popular for tunics worn over satin
skirts
Berthas of fine null or batiste fn-
ished with three tiny rufies OF
Valenciennes are extremely becoming
to the slim figure.
Dots, stripes and odd figured de-
signs are based an tussore and foul.
ards. Most of these silks are com
bined with plain bands Of silk.
One waist handsomely trimmed with
Irish lace had discs of "Helen" pink
scattered along the lace here anc
there with pleasing effect.
Some of the new parasols are edged
with narrow ostrich feathers and hav,
a big bow of ribbon on the handle
also edged with feathers.
For a satin slipper nothing is SO
effective as a small round buckle OF
rhinestone, through which is inserted
a satin or velvet ribbon
The all-white hat of fine straw
trimmed with white wings and face'
with blue or black velvet, is the new
J offering for afternoon wear.

HINTS BY MAY MANTON
A SMART SHIRT WAIST GOWN.


Striped materials are to be much
worn this season. This gown is
made of striped linen and is exceed
ingly smart. The cuffs are of plain
white embroidered and the collar
matches them. The skirt is a simple
seven gored one. The gown alto
gether is eminently fashionable for
morning wear and the same model
will be found good one for vari-
GUS seasonable materials. It is an
excellent one for pongee and taffeta
as we'll as for linen and other ma
terials. II could be made from thinner
and lighter washable fabrics, or the
skilt and waist could be used separ-
ately to advantage. The skirt is
adapted to the coat suit and also to
wear with odd Waists. The waist is
one of the simple plain ones that is
always smart. II is tailor finished.
Many women like to include thin fan
mel waists in the spring and summer
outfit, and this waist made of Scotch
or French flannel will be found ex-
cellent for DOL days throughout the
season. Plain tailored waists with
the box plait and cuffs finished with
scalloped edges are among the novel
ties of the season. Linen treated in
that way would be exceedingly hand
some. In place of striped material
just such gown as this one can be
made from plain colored linen with
box plat and cuffs piped with black
and white. and the skirt trimmed with
a deep cuff of the material, finished
in the same way. In fact, simple as
the model is. it allows OF many vari-
ations.

Miss Iva Il. Seyfer entertained
the ladies all day Monday with
her beautiful creations in millin-

to be still in vogue but one must
admit that they look extremely
pretty decorated with feather
or two and good looking girl
underneath. One thing can be
said of Miss Seyfer's hats that
perhaps can be said of no other
stock in this country. No birds
were killed to get the feathers.
Made feathers look just as nice
and Miss. Seyfer's well known
fondness for birds and dumb
animals permits her to use no
other kind.
