W.T. HIGH OR NATURAL WAIST LINZ
WITH OR WITHOUT PANEL EFFECT AT
THE FRONT.
The plain gored skirt Is always fash
ionable, always needed. This one il
equally well adapted to the coat suit,
to the indoor dress and to wear with odd
waists. The seams give slender lines to
the figure and provide perfect fit and tho
front can b. Tapped over the side cores In
panel style or simply scanned to them as
preferred, but the panel effect is smart
and generally liked. In the illustration,
the skirt is trimmed with buttons, and
buttons will be,used as trimming through
out the autumn. They can be arranged
after the manner illustrated or in any
way that may suit the fancy. The natural
and the slightly raised waist lines are
equally fashionable and this skirt can be
finished In either way.
There are five cores. When the skirt
Is cut to the high line, it is arranged over
a belt which acts as a stay; when Is
cut to the natural line, it is joined to the
belt. Tho closing is made invisibly at
the left side.

went south and a Lehigh Valley pas
senger train passed, followed, a few
minutes later, by an empty engine.
1t would seem as if the latter, at
least, might have been held up for
a few minutes, to relieve the con-
gestion of vehicles that had already
been waiting fully ten minutes. But
the public, it seems, gets no con-
sideration in such matters.
The time is rapidly approaching
If not already here, when something
will have to be done to furnish re-
lief at these crossings. We admit
that conditions are greatly compli-
Gated by the numerous Lehigh Val
lev tracks and the crossing of the
Central railroad, but the problem
will have to be worked out somehow.
Depression of the Central tracks
through the city and elevation of the
Lehigh Valley might furnish a way
out. At any rate the long delays in
the city due to these railroad
crossings is little short of an out
rage. Perth Amboy should not be
compelled to endure 1t much
longer.

CROSSING

Among the greatest nuisances in
Perth Amboy today are the grade
crossings, particularly the Lehigh
Valley crossing at New Brunswick
avenue and the one at Washington
street where both the Central and
Lehigh Valley cross. Traffic on
these two thoroughfares, particu-
larly New Brunswick avenue, has
become so great that such delays as
re frequently occasioned are exceed
ingly annoying to say the least.
At 8 o'clock one afternoon recent
ly a coal train was slowly backing
down to the Lehigh Valley docks
blocking New Brunswick avenue It's
snail-like movement finally ceased
entirely. In the meantime wagons,
automobiles and pedestrians were
gathering on both sides. Finally the
men on foot began to climb over the
cars. But as an empty engine came
along on another track at a rather
rapid rate, this practice was not
without it's perils.
Finally, after waiting FIVE or ten
minutes, the train was cut in two
and the engine pulled the forward
cara ahead so as to clear the cross
ing. The occupants of the fifteen or
twenty vehicles on each side began
to see relief. But they were disap-
pointed. The gates did not go up.
A moment more and a gravel train
backed down on one of the other nu-
merous tracks. After blocking the
crossing 1t stopped and finally pulled
ahead again. This lifted the block
ade at last and the patient public
was allowed to use the highway
which the railroad had appropriated
to its own use several years ago re-
CARELESS of whether the people liked
it or not.
But at Washington street condi-
lions are equally as bad because
there are two railroads to contend
with. One afternoon recently traffic
Oh Washington street was completely
blocked while a Pennsylvania train
went north, a Lehigh Valley coal
train backed down, a Central train

Tx afternoon affair at Annes and she didn't have Just the clothes in
I'M keeping with Annes smart style of living.
IL For Anne dwe1t In q very lovely home on a fashionable country
road. She had more money than she could use, without thinking hard how
and, from Ruths point of view, almost everything that made life desirable.
So Ruth as she looked at her plain, inexpensive dress felt Just a triHs
disprHed.
But Ruth, though she a of Annes chums, hadn't sounded all the
depths OF Annes nature. For as she went in to take off her hat, Anne said:
you look perfectly sweet, dear. In that dress You have Just the right
lines for your figure"
At which Ruth chirked up a bit. d
Later, when some discussion brought up the question of watches, Anne
aid, 81 do so like that silver watch OF yours, Ruth. There's something so
dainty and refined about 1t. And like that secondhand too. I'm going to
get a watch for myself just like It,"
And at this, Ruth was chirked up more For to have the wealthy and
lovely Anne copy her in som article Of dress a a compliment indeed.
And thus all the afternoon, whenever 1T came Anne. way to say a
gracious thing. she said It, And Ruth went homs feeling quite satisfied
with herself and her clothes. Without exactly stating It. Anne had made
her feel that taste in dress va the equal Of money And &, because Of
AnneIs gractousnes and kindness. Ruth not only had a delightful latter
noon, but all her repinings about Ter clothes vanished into nothingness.
1T a lovely of Anne, wasn't t?" Ruth ccnnded to her mother, as
she st OIL the porch and discussed the afternoons affair. "She might, ever
though unintentionaly, have made me fesl quite uncomfortable. But
said them; and she was 80 sincere in her admiration that l really felt quite
set up It isn't often you find a wealthy girl like that"
And since she couldn't have costly dresses, Ruth decided to go in for
details that would give charm and personality. For she knew that II she
had caught Anne's " and pleased her with these things. she could make
the same impression o others by the m method, And * she need not,
because of lack of money, give up those whose society she really enjoyed,
lions she had been somewhat doubtful about accepting because she could
not dress o entertain as they did. Annes genuineness had put these things
o her in a ley light.
