FADS AND FASHIONS
Small hats says Paris.

Gay coat Innings are seen.
All the straws this season are soft
and flexible.
Striped and figured satins are very
smart.
There is a decided vogue for fou-
lard in black and white.
The cerise trimmings on hats of
gray straw are adorable.
The French Guard coat with its
long back is again in favor.
Some of the new skirts open in
front over a narrow panel of lace.
There is a decided tendency to use
striped silk for trimming plain linen.
Do not neglect the short jack ct eff
feet on your spring or summer frock.
High stiff collars are galore, despite
the reign of the Dutch or low neck.
Some sailor hats are seen with the
edge lace-frilled They are known as
Sashes and belts of gray satin are
strongly effective with gowns of bril-
liant color.
One of the new ideas is the velvet
parasol, with dainty silk lining of
becoming hue.
Blouses of fine cotton crepe and
wolfe rival the lingerie ones in deli
cacy and beauty.
Open-work embroidery predomfn-
ates on the deep sailor and round
cape shape collars.
Cute little turn-d down collars of soft
yellow, white and blue linen are of
fered for the negligee shirtwaist.
Fine white net, both plain and
pin and fine French laces are
used for yokes. collars and under
sleeves
A brassiere is not intended to take
the place Of a corset-cover but is put
on over, completely hiding the plain
er cover.
Viyella is material admirably
adapted for outdoor sports chiIdren's

BANQUET TO WORKMEN
AT NEWFIELD CHURCH

An unusual affair in honor of the
rebuilding of the Newfield Methodist
Episcopal church will take place
Thursday evening in the banquet room
of the edifice, when the pastor, the
contractor, and all the workmen who
have been employed upon the build
ing in any capacity will sit down to
an excellent banquet served by the
ladies.
The idea originated with the pastor,
the Rev. G. w. Simonson, and it quite
took Contractor Stone by surprise. He
declared that he informed all his fore
men and they in turn will get the men
together.
The church is rapidly nearing COM
pletion, so that services may be held
in the chapel next Sunday. The new
pipe organ is nearly ready for in
StallatiOQ.

THE REAPPEARANCE
OF THE PARASOE

No trousseau and surely no sum-
mer toilet can be complete without a
goodly array Of parasols, behind
whose kindly shade the smart wom-
an takes refuge from the glare and
blistering rays of the sun. They act
not only as a shelter, but also as a
haven of restfulnesS, and also a an
aid to beauty, and they add the need
ed touch of coquetry to a dainty gown
or the smart trimness to a tailor
made suit.
The coming season holds many sur
prises in the way of novelties and
combinations. The handles are long
(about AZ inches from tip to end)
whose lengths are finished with tas-
sells and rosettes of heavy cord or rib
bon, and are of most elaborate work
manship. Some are handcarved wood
or hand-wrought metal, others are of
jet in elaborate designs, and again
we see the handsome Toledo work
used with decorative effect on the
more pretentious parasols for dress
occasions
One of the new ideas is the velvet
parasol, with a dainty silk lining of
becoming hue, or there are those OF
black MORE with a border of black
velvet, or insertions of chantilly lace.
Pongee and Persian silks are also
much used, as well as silks, in charm
ing floral designs and black and
white stripes and marquisette Many
of these are shirred at the edges or
puffed and gathered, but these mus,
be done In mastery way or they
lose their grace. However those
displayed in the good shops are a be-
wilderment of loneliness, and one
hardly knows which ones to buy
when making a selection.
There are many parasolettes shown
TOO, for carriage use, and there is
one particular novelty shown for the
automobile which is very useful and
practical and which would make an
unusual gift. 1t comes in a very
slender, compact case of pigskin, the
top folding back and the case itself
being utilized for the handle.
White linen parasols, plain or
hand EN- broidered, always make their
appearance later on in the season. to
be worn with lingerie or linen frocks
and are ALWAYS in good taste

"Women's Marseillaise''
Sung by Suffragettes
Feature Of a Big Meeting in
New YOrk-GOvernor of
Idaho Makes an Address.

New York May 2.-The singing for
the first time of "The Women's Mar
seillaise'' and the speech of Gov. Jas.
H. Brady of Idaho were the features
of a suffrage rally Sunday afternoon
at Clinton Hall to enlist marchers in
the protest parade on May s. Gov.
Brady spoke for an hour with inter
ruptions of great applause, and Nine.
Elsa Gregori conducted the singing of
her composition, called "Women's Po-
iitical March" Henry G. Chapman
wrote the words. Here is a sample
stanZa:
Come, every matron, every maid,
That in this fair land of ours doth
DWELL
Hear the clarion call,
Bidding us one and all
larry no more. but haste the ranks
Our purple banner flutters in the air.
Hear our trumpets blowing far and
neari
Let your voice resound
All the earth around
Till the whole earth at last shall hear
Equal suffrage for women has
been of the greatest benefit to man
hood as well as woman hood in the
State of Idaho" Gov. Brady said, 'All
the old objections of the anti-suffra-
gists have been proven fallacious. In
the fifteen years that women have
been enfranchiSed in Idaho all the
superintendent of education have
been women:S0 per cent. of the coun-
ty and city clerks have been women
and over so per cent. of the county
reasurers have been women. In all
that time not one woman has been
removed from office for incompe-
tency or dishonesty, but several men
have been sent to the penitentiary for
defaulting.
Women have purified Idaho poll
tics. They have never gone toward
the gutter in their political affilia.-
tons but have tended to draw men
away from it. Giving women the
ballot in our experience has not made
them less womanly, but rather has
given them the chance to display the
srurdier traits of their character.
IF women needed the ballot in Ida
no, they need it twice as much in
New York. You will never settle
some of the questions of living that
are pressing upon you until women
have the ballot
Miss Lenora O'Reilly and Florence
Kelly also spoke. Mrs. Blatch pre-
sided.

Skies of tender blue;
Cheerful notes from feathered throats
All the woodland through.

Blossoms nod and sway,
Heart O. mine, the worlds divine,
When it's May-May-May!
May time is joy time,
Streamlets dancing by,
Emerald glades and orchard shades
And mountains green and high.
Waves leap, and caves keep
Shells they toss in play,
Heart o'mine, what treasure thine?

Here's a song to sing.

WHERE THE FOUR LEAF
CLOVERS GROW

I know place where the sun is like
gold,
And the cherry blooms burst forth
with snow;
And down underneath is the loveliest
nook,
Where the four leaf clovers grow.
One leaf is for hope, and one is for
faith.
And one is for love, you know;
And God puts another in for luck
If you search you will find where
they grow.
But you must have hope, and you
must have faith;
You must love and be strong-and
If you work, if you wait, you will
find the place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
ELLA. HigginSOn.

The home dressmaker should keep
her pincushion attached to her wrist.
It should be a small soft cushion, at

then have to stop work continually to
look for a pin.

PAIRING STOCKINGS.

To avoid trouble in sorting stock

sew tapes to the top of each and tie
the pairs together when they are put

Keep them tied together when
washed and darned and you will have
no trouble in seeing which is which"
when it comes to putting them away.

OLD NIGHTGOWNs.

I have for long time used old
muslin nightgowns as covers for my
best dresses when they hang in the
closet. They are easier to get off and
on than bags, and cover the gown
quite as well. Hang the dress first
on a coat or skirt hanger, and then
cover it with the nightgown, button
ing the latter to keep it from falling.

NUTLEY To HAVE
THREE ASSESSORS
INSTEAD OF ONE
Town Council Passes Ordinance
Despite Objections of Mayor
and G. O. p. Members.

An ordinance doing away with the
office of town assessor was passed by
the Nutley Town Council last night,
despite the objections of Councilman
Arthur J.. Carr and Mayor John 2.
Lux. The ordinance provides for the
appointment of three assessors,
Mr.. Carr, who is a member OF the
legal committee, objected to the pass
age of the ordinance on the ground
that It vas not constitutional and cited
an opinion to hat effect. Mayor Lux
called attention to the clause legislat-
ing out of office an official elected by
the people. He thought that action
took away the prerogatiye of the
people.
Councilman John Mulch said the
ordinance was drawn according to the
statutes and hat many an act had
been declared unconstitutional, but
when carried higher was found to be
all right.
Auditor Edwin Probert, who has been
auditing the books of Tax Collector DR..
A. H. Van Ripper. reported that the ac-
counts were found correct. He men,
toned that there was a delay in de-
posting school money, but that the
council had nothing to do with the
matter. DR.. Van Ripper, who was pres
ent, objected to the criticism being
made a part of the records and his
request was complied with.

answer was handed out in an invita-
ton and a bill of fare-beg pardon,

list is ham sandwiches, and below is

up by the Columbus Day parade, they

JERSEY CITY, Oct. 12.-Nearly fifty
boys, who constitute the graduating
class in st. Mary's Roman Catholic
Institute In Third street, went on strike
today becau~e Rev. Brother Mala
chi. their teacher, had been transferred
to ST. vincent's Institute, Germantown,
a suburb of Philadelphia.
The striking pupils gathered in front
OF the institute. They became so bois-
ferrous that Patrolman Brennan, of the
Second Precinct, ordered them to go
inside after sizing up the situation.
The boys refused. Brennan sent in a
call for reserves. Before they arrived
the boys a yelling through Third
street, passed up Erie street and held
an Indignation meeting in Hamilton
Park. From this point they were scat
tered by Patrolmen Conroy and Kelly,
but held a meeting in Little Italy Park.

In view of the urgent need Of I'M
provement in the public utilities OF
Newark, william Mungle, president OF
the Board of Works, has made recon
m~endations to the m.-iissioners In re-
gard to the trolley situation, street
paving and sewers
Among his suggestions to relieve
congestion at Broad and Market streets
and provide better trolley facilities is
that a connecting line should be built
from Broad and Washington streets to
Central avenue and Washington street,
thus forming a continuous line through
to Kinney, which should be further ex-
tended to Clinton avenue. This, calling
for very little construction work, would
give Newark an entirely new line
across the city.
President Mungle's suggestions fol-
low in part:
There are a umbe of matters
which have become of such public I'M
p%ortance, and for which there is such
a demand for remedial measures, that
/ deem it my duty to bring them to
your attention at this time, in order
that they may be carefully considered
before the opening of another fiscal
year, with a view of devising means
for a betterment of the situation. in
all of these matters legislation will be
required and the character IF this
legislation should be fully considered
and decided Upon before the opening
of the Legislature.
THE great public need for certain
trolley extensions to relieve The y n
g~estion of traffic In our populous CEN
tres was before us for discussion in
March last, and a bill to accomplish
results in this direction was introduced
in the Legislature, but after passing
the House failed in the Senate. This
failure to secure legislation was doubt
less due in part to long-established SEN
timent, and in part to lack of public
information in regard to the real situa-
ton. 1t is apparent to those who have
