ADAPTED FROM THE EAST
Tendon Women Wear Multiplicity of
Jewels and Hide Glitter Under
Veil Of Chiffon.

The fashion of yelling has been ex-
tended to the yelling of jewels. 1t is
the fad in London to wear all the
pendants and brooches of precious
stones that one can muster and then
hide their glitter under a veil of chit
fon so they appear as glowing part
Of the underdress.
The Oriental embroideries and garni-
lures which were used in the early
spring have reappeared also with this
yelled effect,
Gowns of gold or silver tissue or
srimmed with broad gold or silver en-
broideries are yelled with chiffons and
goiles. Even valuable old lace trim
mfngs or evening gowns are only sug-
gested, for they, too, are partly COW

Several society women have lately

pearls. Yards of pearl rope are be-

Women seldom wear the ropes in the

Chamois Gloves.

To wash chamois gloves and keep
them soft, first put the gloves on
hands, using lukewarm water and
pure soap. Wash in this lather until
the gloves are thoroughly cleansed,
then rinse in clear water of the same
temperature, but before taking off the
gloves cover them again with lather
of the soap. Allow them to dry in
the shape. The soap prevents them
from becoming stiff and brittle.

THE WELFARE OF THE STATE GUARD.

IA HAR DEPARTMENT officials are looking to Trenton to
NV see what action the Legislature is going to take in regard
to the military retirement bill, and the outcome of the
legislation on that bill will have its effect upon the Federal policy
ia reference to the New Jersey National Guard. If the bill should
be defeated and the present absurd arrangement permitting aged
officers TO remain in command and authority shall remain there is
likely to be some action by the war department not very agreeable
TO the State military authorities. Congress is to be asked to pass
a bill granting pay to the officers and enlisted men of the National
Guard while in active service. An exception made in the bill ex-
GLIDING from the benefits of the act the National Guard of any
State that has neglected to conform its military laws to the
Federal requirements is quite possible. 1t is within the discretion
also of the war department to withhold appropriations. The Fed
eral government has no use for any military force not organized on
military principles. Support of such a force would be a waste of
money. 1t may well be reasoned at Washington that if the New
Jersey National Guard is maintained principally to cater to the
vanity of its commanding officers it can add nothing to the effective
military strength of the country. If the military retirement bill
should be defeated a new feeling of encouragement would be
developed in the rank and file of the National Guard.
