South Amboy, Oct. apparently
autoists passing through our city
have little regard Tor the require
ments of the law and much less re-
spect for the governing power or the
people of u city, as many pass
through our streets at the rate of
from twenty to thirty miles an hour,
while some far exceed this rate.
Sunday night an autoist passed
through the city Nng after dark
going at least fifteen miles an hour,
without a single lighted lamp on his
machine. Apparently it would be
wisdom to teach some of these reck-
less autoists a lesson by imposing
a fine on them.

Exquisite Color Effects
for New Evening Coats

Evening wraps are vertiable works OF
art as conceived by the French designers
who make a speciality of such garments.
One noticed for its artistic cO.oring IS
made of old rose brocaded satin char
meuse with a loose back Snirred over a
single girdle cord and with draped kimono
sleeves. A lining of peacock blue cnar-
meuSe forms a rolilng collar, ana 1roht

mentation except some embroidery IN
dull god threads. worked directly upon
the material. mis- eInpro. dery was not
in floral or other usual form, but rormed
patches of basket weave on the two
shoulders and part way down the fronts.
Most of the evening wraps are not more
than three-quarter length IN front, but
all of them reach to the bottom of the
gown in back, and some even trail upon
the floor. Sometimes the length IS grad
uated by means of tucKs or drapery,
from front TO pack, Dut III Otner cases
the coat is abruptly cut off and ''hobbled
two-thirds of the way around, and then
has full length panel down the center
of the back.
Occasionally wrap is seen which is
really full length all around, but has
sembance of lhree-quarter cut, because
it has a distinct hobble at the required
depth, and from there down has a cling
ing length of satin or velvet contrasting
in color with the brocade, or plush or
fur, of the upper coat. and looking like
the bottom of the gown.
Many of the handsomest wraps this
season are in brocade, woven upon the
sheerest of gold cloth or chiffon. A
model in peacock blue brocade has
long tasseled hood in back, which reaches
below the knees. Everything about it
is sheer and apparently lacking in
warmth for winter. with the exception
of a big coy collar and cuffs Of emma

The use of contrasting fur is shown
in nearly all the separate coats of fur.

Il Men Did Women'S Work.
By Ruth Cameron.

Don't you think it would be grand
thing If for short space OF ume-a
month perhaps-every housewife in the
land could leave her kitchen and her
Homework and let the man folks do her
work?
If such q thing were possible, think
a great many good results would De
brought to pass.
One would be that some men woulo
cease to wonder what their wives do
with their time.
Another would be that some men would
realize that the money they have thought
themselves generous in giving their wives
was entirely Inadequate pay for the work
they have been doing.
And another resultant this Is the
point which / want to bring out To-Day
especially-would be that much better
equipments for Homework would ne IN
mediately installed In the homes. For no
makeshifts and make works which the
average woman endures.
One morning l CHANGED to be in the
kitchen of woman who does all lhe
work for her family of eight. she was
making the toast, which is inVar1aDIy
part Of their breakfast. In turning the
toaster she dropped two pieces of bread
and burned her hand getting them back.
I'm always doing that she explained:
Its that horrid old toaster. It's been
broken for months and 1 ought to get a
new one" And a new toaster would
probably have cost about quarter.
I remember in our own kitchen an OBJ
stinate egg beater which struggled iran
tically against performing it's duty. AT a
conservative reckoning it must have tax
en- twice as long to beat an egg with
that instrument of nerve torture as II
should have. Yet we made shift with that
miserable thing for at least year. Ana
you can get a good egg beater for -
cents.
The other day l assisted with the dish
washing in a summer cottage. There was
no scourer There had not been any all
summer. That meant that 1t had taken
about three times as long to wash the
pots and kettles every day. Again ana
again l have heard that woman complain
that she didn't get as much time to be
out of doors as she had hoped. Ana
scourer would cost 10 cents!
Housework is nard work at best: its
infinite demands eat up an astonishing
amount of time. All too many women
have sad reason to quote:
Mans work is from sun to sun,
But wOinan's work Is never done.
Surely, then, every housewife ought to
have the best possible equipment. Some
times their failure to is due to economy;
sometimes it's just carelessness. If 1t $
economy, it's false economy; II IT s care
lessness it's very foolish and waste
of energy.
Every woman owes it to herself and
her family to have as much time for rest
and recreation possible. The lntell1-
gent, modern woman is coming to realize
this and to know that perfect equipment
will help her. A professors wife who de-
cided to enlarge her husbands income by
doing her own work at once perfected
her regulation equipment and added to it
a fire1ess cooker, dish washer and a
vacuum cleaner.
Men insist that they cannot do their
work satisfactorily unless they have the
best possible equipment.
Why shouldn't women make the same
demands?

Belts and Sashes.

Leather belts. either of suede. patent

DDS Of tying, however. One way shows a
simple knot of double faced black satin
ribbon, held in place by a square ivory
buckle and weighted with a big tassel.
A one-sided bow is very attractive, and
1t is we'll suited to the diagonal drapery
and fastenings of the new models. Some
what more pretentious is the "prelate''
sash, which consists of single turning
over fiat ends. embroidered at the bottom
in semicircular motifs and weighted with
fringe. Gay plaid ribbons hung from the
belt at the left side Of the front are used
to enliven black frocks which need some
touch of newest ribbons.

NEW COMBINATION COSTUMES
AMONG THE FASHION CHANGES
Severe Simplicity Is Avoided Plaid Velvets
Much in Vogue Afternoon Frocks
Are Simple and Digndied-

One of the most interesting changes
the season is the combination costume in
two colors, and sometimes velvet is used
in combination with another equally rich
material. There are velvet coats over
sweeping skirts of brocade, bengatine.
striped satin and even broadcloth. which.
by the way. has taken new lease of
life this year and is again at the high
point Of favor. A few couturiers are
showing broadcloth coats over skirts OF
velvet, but the favorite arrangement is
the other way round, a velvet coat being
mounted over a skirt of silken or wooden
stuff.
A particularly stunning combination in
velvet and silken fabric is a black and
white reception costume. which shows
belted coat of white brocade over a skirt
of black velvet. The simplicity of both
skirt and coat throws the richness of the
fabrics into high relief. The skirt has
slender, straight lines and boasts no
ornamentation save the row OF seif-coi-
ored buttons. This dignified and elegant
coat is supplemented by an equally dis
tinctive bodice of white chiffon, the black
velvet of the skirt rising in a cOrslet
trimming effect on the white bodice. pro-
ducing an effect of harmony when the
COAT IS removed. lIleGe Is al CSTIdiIl
gayety in the little belted white coat,
somewhat at variance with the severe
skirt, but the fine, dignified lines are pre-
served throughout and the combination
of black and white and of velvet and
brocade is cleverly managed.

avoided in these formal costumes COM

this autumn, especially for evening dress
