Test of Friendship.

A member of the board OF education
who was present at the recent COM
mencement exercises in Sumner Ave
nue. school, says the Newark News
heard James l.. Hays relate an Incl
dent which defined the word friend"
1t is we'll known that Mr.. Hays in
cludes among his best friends the boys
and girls of the schools. His happy
faculty for gaining the confidence OF
the youngsters was responsible for his
being within hearing when two ju-
veniles were discussing friendship.
Here is one coming citizens opinion
of friend indeed, as the member OF
the board heard it:

HEADGEAR OF FRENCH WOMEN
All Kinds of Fantastic Ornaments
Used to Cover Heads for Eve
ming Wear.

A we'll known Paris painter gave a
lecture a few days ago on the man
ner in which women covered their
heads with all kinds Of fantastic orna-
ments in the evening. He said that
it was a pity when hair had SO much
expression in wave and color to con-
ceal so much beauty beneath so-called
fashionable accessories.
All the time this gentleman was ex-
pressing his views on this subject the
audience was much amused at the
presence of a beautiful actress famous
for her exaggerated head dresses.
On this occasion she wore cap of
gold and white brocade with a high
mass CT white aigrettes extendi z
around the front from ear to ear. From
the center of her forehead stood a
black aigrette almost tow feet high
held by an enormous cabochon in cut
jet. Whether this lady will henceforth
follow the conferencier's suggestion
remains to be seen. But it is said
that we shall soon be wearing a rose
and little else in the hair.-Gentle
woman.

WALKING TIME IS CUT OFF
Abolition Of System Causes Consider
able Trouble in the Adirondack
Region.

There is trouble in the southern sec
ton OF Essex county because certain
road superintendent, new in office,
have cut off walking time" That is
something probably unknown in the
city, but in the Adirondacks, section
of great distances, it is of importance
to men working on the new ropds
being built by the state. Able bodied
men live at such distances from each
other and from their work that when
a gang finally is got together some OF
the men are certain to have walked
miles from home. If married. as they
usually are in the mountains, they
have the same walk back at night.
This became known as walking time;
that is, the man was on the job the
moment he took up his dinner pail and
started to walk to his work, even
though it took him an hour or an hour
and a half to get there. He also
quit that much earlier than others in
the evening. but was cat work" and
paid for it when walking home. The
new superintendent have decided the
state cannot afford to pay men for
walking, and have cut off that time.
The result is a great discomfort and
trouble in getting sufficient men for
work on the roads.-Boston Tran
script.

that he could not find anything wrong
