EMMA McCHESNEY ADVISES HEIR
 SON TO GO TO COLLEGE.

Tn the August American Magazine, Edna Ferber writes another Emma McChesney story. Emma McChesney is successful travelling saleswoman, possessing a high spirited son. IS years old, who is something of a problem to her. On the subject of a college education Emma McChes- ney lays down the following advice to her son:
 Jack, you're going to college. No- wait a minute. You'll have chance to prove the things you just said by getting through in three years instead of the usual four. If you're in ear- nest you can do it. I want my boy to start in to this business war equip- ped with every means of defense. You called 1t a game. It's more than that tits battle. Compared to the suc- cessful business man of to-day the Revolutionary Minute Men were as keen and alert as the Seven Sleep CTS. T know that there are more non-college men driving street-cars than there are college men. But that doesn't influence meA You could get a job now. Not much of a po- sition, perhaps, but something self respecting and fairly well-paying. It l would teach you many things. You might get a knowledge of human nature that no college could give you.
 
 contidence-assurance-that nothing but college can give you. You will find yourself in those three years. Af. ter you finish college you'll have diff flculty in fitting into your proper niche, perhaps, and you'lI want to curse the day on which you needed my advice. It'll look as though you l had simply wasted those three pre- ctous years But in five or six years after, when your character has jelled, and you've hit your pace, you'll bless me for 1t. As for a Knowledge of humanity, and of business tricks with the busy marts of trade. If you want to learn folks you can spend your summers selling Feather looms with me.
 After all, remember you're only eighteen. You'll probably spend part of your time rushing around at class proms with a red ribbon in your coat lapel to. show you're on the floor committee. And you'll be girl-fus sing. too. But you'd be attracted to girls. in or out of college, and I'd rather. just now, that it would be some pretty. /nice-thinking college girl l in white sweater and a blue serge skirt, whose worst thought was won dering if yoK could be caioled into 1 taking her to the Freshman -Sopho- more basketball game. than some red. l Tipped, hlack-iet-earringed siren gaz- l ing at you across the table in some basement cafe. And. goodness knows, Jack, you wear your clothes SO beautifully that even the haber- dashers' salesmen eye you with re, spect. I've seen 'em. That's one course you needn't take at college"

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

A solution of common baking sooa is very good for a bee sting,
 Always spread an umbrella open to dry thoroughly before putting It
 away. Don't put it Tn the umpFelia
 far tip downward while it IS wet.
 The dampness will rust the frame and
 make the silk tender.
 Delicious tarts are made with cur rant jelly and fresh raspberries When you are ready to serve the tarts put the jelly in first then the fresh rasp- berries on top, sprinkllng WiIn a Ht- tie powdered sugar. The ice chest can be kept in good condition if washed thoroughly once a week with lukewarm water, Tn which washing soda has been dis solved. If anything is. spilled in the
 ice chest it should be wiped up at once.
 Tablecloths,9 when washed, should be soaked in cold water before they are put into the warm suds The cold water will soak out the milk and coffee stains, which would be set and very difficult to wash out if put first ] in hot suds.
 To cook macaroni perfectly first | break it in pieces two inches in 1 length, wash it thoroughly and drop
 it into boiling salted water. See that | the macaroni does not stick and that the water does not boil away. When l it is done drain it.
 Whole boiled applies are quite as l delicious as baked. Take a sharp knife and score the skin of the apple around it's center, take out the core, | fill the hole with sugar, then place them in a covered Vesse! with just l just a little water and allow them 70 | boil until they are tender.
 | When sweet corn is fresh the husks are a fresh crisp green, the silk is a | lighter green and the grains full and | juicy. There is no vegetable which suffers in marketing so much as
 sweet corn. It is most delicious when cooked ten minutes after it is pulled | from the stalk.
 1t is much easier to remove the
 skin from new potatoes after they are 1 boiled. Scrub the potatoes very clean,
 and after they are boiled the skin | will peel off with the utmost ease and
 leave the potato whole and fluffy.
 Then let them stand on the back part l of the stove for a few moments. I If you wash dishes and care to | have smooth hands, keep a cut lemon I handy. After taking the hands from 1 the dishwater wash them thoroughly
 with castle soap, rinse them in cola water, dry them, then squeeze little juice from the lemon and rub thor oughly into the skin. It kills the i've from the soap and removes stains. The fried tomato gravy is richer
 and much less apt to curdle if cares fully made in the following way: Put the milk on to heat rub the flour and butter together into 8 smooth paste ada gradually the hot milk. After the tomatoes are a good brown on both I sides and thoroughly done. pour the T dressing over them and allow them to simmer for few m om ents.

GIRLS MUST WEAR STOCKINGS
Or They Can't Go in Bathing on At.
 lantic City's New Beach.

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 1S.-Wil- liam H. Bartlett, Director of Public Safety, who recently gave orders that women bathers should not go to the beach in bathing suits which were not covered by raincoats, went further yesterday. Two girls, who were in bathing suits without stockings, were ordered from the beach by life guard.
 Put on your stockings, leave the beach, or be arrested" was the ulti- matum. One of the young women wanted to know why the guard didn't chase off some of the men who wore short trunks.
 T haven't anything to do with that" replied the life guard. My or- ders are to tell you to put on stock ings or leave the beach, There were no stockings at hand and the bare-legged bathers left the strand.

AN OFFICE GIRLS EXPERIENCE

I am one of those young women who come to the city friendless and untrained to seek a career in the big office buildings. To my eternal sor- TOW:
 I was put in charge of the docu- ment room Of one of the largest firms in the city obtaining the position through the recommendation of the employment bureau of one of the city's s philanthropic societies.
 One of the partners had a son who held down & desk while supposedly learning the business" In reality he spent most of his time flirting with the girls in the office. When I came, he at once began making desperate love to me. I was green and romantic and began to have dreams of my self as mistress of the big-mansion pn Commonwealth avenue. But the proposal I waited for never came. In- stead I was confronted one day with a notice in the Boston papers announc- Ing the young mans engagement to a young woman prominent in Boston society. Of course, I was stunned. But the young man tried even then to keep up his hold on my affections. he declared. but there are no narri- ages for love nowadays in high seci- ety. We marry for money and social relationship, just as they do abroad and love has very little to do with it."
 But I told him I would never even speak to him again Less than a fort night later I was discharged and I was tipped off by the clerk disehafg- Ing me that the man who had made love to me was simply getting rid of me so his young bride would not see me and ask embarrassing questions. And every line of this is gospel truth. As for me, I didn't care for the dis charge, for my heart was broken A Correspondent of the Boston Post.

srYLEs FOR I'll FALL.

A style of coat which is expected to meet with favor again this fall Is the mackinaWl Mackinaws are be- ing brought out in plaids, stripes and handsome novelty fabrics. Some are made with hoods;- others without. Nearly all are 36 inches long. They will prove excellent for women who are interested in outdoor sports. These garments should also meet with success in the misses, departments. as they are youthful and especially adapted to slim figures.
 A fair volume of business con- tinues to be done in the regulation Dutch collars in dainty materials, and the Dutch idea is being used as 8 ba- sis for many of the seasons leading successes. Many attractive numbers shown are a combination of the Dutch collar with fancy bows tabs, divided jabots, vandyke pleatings, vests, etc. An effective style now on display con- sists of a Dutch collar and vest of white scalioped piuue, flat black satin bow and five black satin-cover- ed buttons extending down the front. Another number combines a Dutch collar with a vest, a Vandyke pleat- ing of white lawn and crystal buttons.
 A notable feature of many of the best suits now being shown is the use of the belt in the back section. Occasionally the belt extends around to the front section as we'll. Leath- CT and silk are both used. The mod the favored style. Single revers are seen to some extent, Military, Robes pierre and small fancy sailor collars are being used very extensively.

have often wondered if any wo- man has rightly defined jealousy and its significance as far as It's ln- fiuence on real love is concerned.
 Some wives with funny little Wnim- sical smiles, apparently approve their husbands jealousy ot really small and unconsidered trif1es. Ihey seem to think that this show or sel- fishness-this being all that Jealousy really is-a true demonstration or tne love their husbands bear them d
 Of course there are WlVes anu xvives-likewise husbands and nus hands But I believe the most com fortable of either sex are they who, while loving sincerely ,are not, prone to regard every look, every smile, eV- erv outside attention something prompting the performance or the Othe1Io act.
 To my perhaps somewhat prosaic line of thought, Othello appears as great big s'sunburned' Go De polte) man. who didn't wait to know, pu. inst went and did an asinine tnlnS. That sort of thing works up well on the stage, but it is unpardonaple III the eyes of any one of sane Judgment
 I don't suppose any woman wants to feel that her husband is so sure of her that he can comfortably go Io sleep while she is out riding or dai- lying in a dark corner of the porcn with a younger and much handsomer man.
 On the other hand, no woman xvisres .to feel that her husband could not completely trust her with the same fascinating junior.
 Now where will we strike the hap py medium? Does the woman once married give up all right to atten- ton? If she, receives attention from a man not her husband, does she necessarily engulf herself in an enn-- broilment, stirred by the jealousy of the one she has promised to love, honor and obey?
 I don't blame a woman bit, who after, say ten years of welded lire, finding her husband taking her very much as a matter of course, just calmly and deliberately lets him see her charm for another man. US the very medicine he needs to tone up- his behavior for the next ten years.
 ably has acquired enough sense 10 appreciate his wife. If he is jeal- ous then, it will be in all probability with reason. The wife twenty years married, finds her husband "a fixed habit She isn't going to run off with another man-in fact another man isn't likely to want her then or she isn't going to do anything that will menace the enjoyment of middle aged conjugal companionship.
 Jealousy, like the measless is dis ease of youth. Here l am at the end, stilf wondering whether it in cessive selflshpess L am disposed to consider thelatter the more satis- factory answer.

A Moonlight Yachting

Captain Benz. Hurff took another party
of young folks on his yacht, the "Sweet-
heart" Tuesday night. The jolly crowd
left Penns Grove wharf about s O'Clock,
bound for Chester. On the way they
passed the oil ship which has been burn
ing at Marcus Hook for over two weeks.
Arriving at Chester eventually, they left
the yacht and started "to do" the town
OF Chester. In their ORGANIZATIONS they
encountered an ice cream parlor. The
meeting of the twain was satisfying to
both.
After enjoying all the rights that
Chester town had to give, everybody
found their way back to the yacht and
reached home at an hour one would most
naturally expect.
All of the time the audience was kept
amused by the vaudeville performances
of the comedy actors. Mrs. Walter
Doughten and SOL Thomas chaperoned
the company, which included Misses
Anna Leap, Edna Turner, Ethel Peter
son, Theresa Justice, Reba Justice, Ethel
Armstrong, Ethel Ray, May Titus, Edna
Flanagan, Jennie Sailor and Helen b.
Leap. Messrs. Benz. Hurff, Homer
Leap, Grover Justice, Warren Smith,
Edw. Snyder, Walter Callahan, Wilbert
Borden, Carl Corson, K. d. Mercer, Geo.
Pine, Frank Denny, and most OF all Mr..
Harland G. Taylor.

Board of Education

The monthly meeting OF the Board of
Education was held Monday evening with
all the members present except Simon
Cunningham.
A committee from Oldmans was present
and asked that Oldmans be not required
to pay full amount for high school pupils
who do not attend full time. nor the $25
apportioned from State school fund if pu-
pIl does not attend to that mount. They
claimed other places charge only in pro-
portion. Penns Grove Board had pre-
viously decided that, when a pupil from
another Township entered the High
School, the Township had a claim to
have $25 apportioned for that pupil. If
the Township got that Penns Grove
Board had previously decided to charge
at least that amount. No further action
was taken by the Board.
The acceptance of Frances w. Sampsel,
of Shamokin, Pa, to teach German and
Sciences in the High School was received.
She will succeed Isabel Perkins. Carrie
S. Smith, of Carlisle, Pa, who was elect
ed at the July meeting resigned.
