THE REAL DEMOCRATIC sEN7MEN7M HUDSON

N THE calculations of the Wilson supporters in New Jersey
while Essex has been conceded as anti Wilson, Hudson was
sure for Wilson. That claim is now well punctured. The
Iooked-for sentiment has not materialized and there is a lack of
interest among Democrats IN Wilson's candidacy that alarms his
local managers. The presidential primaries are to be held in May.
In the interim the party sentiment opposed to Wilson will settle
upon one of the three prominent candidates-Clark, Harmon and
Underwood-respectively whose claims are now being considered by
the national Democracy. 1t only needs concentration upon a single
candidate to bring out in Hudson, as elsewhere in the State, the
real Democratic sentiment.

NO WAR WITH MEXICO YET

STa HE talk at Washington of interference in Mexico has closed.
Ii 1t is well known that such a step was seriously contem-
plated by the administration and that orders were sent cut
to the army to be prepared. Whatever the inspiration for
this contemplated adventure it has been halted and nothing more
been done than the sending of two regiments to patrol the border.
Probably some day the sources of the inspiration for plunging our
country into a war with Mexico will be disclosed.

WHEN | first saw Annette Keermann,
w like thousands of other women, | went
" INTO ecstasies over her superb form.
longed TO have the same graceful figure even
one lust little like it | heard her lecture on
physical culture and tell how such figure
could be developed, but when ! tried to do as
she said | found it inconvenient to carry out
the program and keep up my daily fight for
living. Maybe | lacked the energy Anyway,
] gave up hopes for the time being of devel-
.oping a Kellermann figure
! never asked Miss kellermann about it, but
| don suppose she wears corsets. If she
does they are probably not like those other
women have to wear She doesn I need them.
But like discovered every woman does not
find il convenient TO swim and walk and ride
and exercise as Miss kellermann does
The thought Of having such figure did not
bother me much until some time afterward
met very successful woman teacher of phys
zeal culture She too, had superb figure and,
having Miss Kellermann in mind, | remarked
about corsetS and the ability of some women
to do without them OF course | supposed that
this physical culture teacher a girdle
instead Of a corset and asked her what kind
she wore
''Girdle." she exclaimed Il certainly do
not wear girdie ! wear the best Redfern
corset | can buy
| have always SAID that | learn something
new every day | learned something new then.
Although this teacher had a lovely figure
had attributed il all to her physical culture
| found that most of ii was due to her corset
and the perfect manner in which it fitted
She insisted that matter how healthy
woman is and no matter how fine figure
she may have, she can improve upon it by
wearing the proper kind of corset Then, too
she pointed out how the changes in women S
styles necessitated change in the shape of
corsets and how the lines of the figure were
changed accordingly.
1t was not until recently that my thought
again turned toward corsets and my figure.
A friend Of mine whom ] had not seen for
some time told me that was getting stout
Instantly my mind reverted to Annette Ke-
hermann and to physical culture and diets and
all sorts OF things. The mere thought OF get
ting stout and losing what figure had al
most appalled, me knew that ! had a few
wrinkles coming and knew how hard work

the sight of SAKE leaning there, his long

Little Things That Count

1t is a proof that some one put trust
in him which he has never deserved.
No one to go back to the broom

mony. ever climbed to greater tasks by
doing Indifferent and careless sweep
ing of the steps as he climbed.
1t is the little task we'll done that

is with the greater tasks there come
greater responsibilities and greater re-
wards
Even in the matter of attire, girls

said
1t isn't enough to have pretty clothes.
good appearance on the outside.
There must be neatness underneath.
If this little maid had polished the
floor carefully not lifting the mats, but
working around them. and careless
step had revealed the dust underneath
the sight would not be more shocking
than one seen on the streets every
day.
A girl appears with her dress, her
hat. her gloves. her shoes in perfect
order and neatness. A wind blows her
dress and reveals a frayed skirt I'M
derneath. Or there hangs below that
perfectly kept dress skirt binding Of
her petticoat
She was thinking only of outward
show when she dressed. She forgot
one thing that is more important, and
that is neatness all the way through.
She didn't sweep under the mats"
TO quote the little serving maid.
Better a dress not so expensive, and
skirts underneath. Better good, strong
Isle hose that will wear than silk
hose that may be in good condition in
the morning. and that may have holes
in the heels by night.
Better an inexpensive glove that
can be replaced when worn out than a
costly glove with holes in the fingers.
Better common buttons. and every
one on, than expensive ones that cant
well be replaced when one drops off.
Better a hat that will stand the
storms than costly one that goes to
pieces in the first shower, and that
must be worn the rest of the season
because it cost so much the wearer
can't afford another
Better always neatness than a style
too costly to maintain in perfect order
In dress, as in work, the Importance
of little details, the value of order and
neatness, even where order and neat
ness may make no showing, must never
be overlooked.
Remember the little maid who swept
under the mats; she was neat where
neatness was not apparent to the cas-
ual glance, and there is no greater proof
of faithfulness. order or ability.
