Fish Tales.

Acker, at Sewaren, had quite q
few boats out Saturday afternoon
and Sunday, but there vas no news
of any weakhsh being caught. Boats
could be seen off Perth Amboy and
several were anchored on the eel
fats at the mouth of the Raritan
river.
A northeast wind made a choppy
sea Sunday morning but it shifted
about In the afternoon and many
boat wne took a trial spin in
their powerboats. Many of the boys
put out squids In hopes of landing a
bluefish.
George Neiderman, of Hunterdon
street, Newark, tried trolling for
bluefsh in Raritan bay Sunday az
ternoon, but didn't get a strike.
Jack Willett said four more days of
warm weather and the blues would
take the squid.
Charlie Lining. Jr., and Cliff
Lining, are trying hard to land the
first weakhsh with rod and line at
Morgans. They ished the greater
part of the flood tide Sunday, but
the best they could do was nine
pounds of cells.
Some of Gus Mages's Washington
street Newark friends have an
idea that he has discovered a new
bait. Gus went to Morgan's Station
Sunday to fish for eels and Saturday
afternoon he hunted around for eel
worms which was something new I

 Professor Pipes came to Kansas City about six weeks ago and he, his motor car, dog and telescope were in- separable until Friday, when a patrol man found Pipes in a dazed condi- ton.

MELISSA FREES HER MIND ABOUT
 THE DEAR DEPARTED.

Mrs. Merriwid's maternal maiden aunt Jane found her bereaved niece still in her morning negligee, although It was nearly ten o'clock It was a handsome, cobwebby negligee, with a big cherry-colored bow at the throat to relieve it's more or less funereal black, and Mrs. Merriwid looked well In it, having a fair skin and a figure that was plump, but not too plump. There was tray on tabouret by Mrs MerriWid's chair, and on the tray were the mangled remains of two lamb chops and some crusts of toast, which, with an empty chocolate pot and milk pitcher, seemed to indicate that grief for the departed MT. Mer- riwid had not destroyed the appetite of his sorrowing relict.
 My poor darling!" exclaimed Aunt Jane, fervidly.
 Mrs. Merriwid removed her very neat ly stockinged ankles from the elevation of a supplementary chair and arose In time to meet her relatives sympa- thetic rush and tackle. "Auntie," she said, extricating herself gently, I'm awfully glad to see you, but please don't cry on me. I catch cold so cas- Fly. Take off your things, dearie, and have some breakfast and then tell me where it hurts. Here, I'll help you
 With few competent jerks, the young woman divested her guest of her hat and wraps, which she tossed onto davenport. Now for the eats" she said, pressing the buzzer beneath the table.

 q should think you would miss him!" said Aunt Jane, rather severely
 "He snored a great deal, and l miss that" sighed Mrs. Merriwid. He was what you might call a regular and rhythmic snorer, Henry was, and it had lulling effect after l got used to it. Now I've got to get accustomed to the quiet and lying a-bed as long as l want to. There's so much in habit, auntie, and that's one of the blessed compensations of married life. You never saw Henry, and that picture l sent you didn't show the wen on his nose.

Of course some old men are better looking than others and don't have intermittent dyspepsia and a chronic grouch. But poor Henry had his good points, and it's very sad to be left a widow.

Elbow Gloves in Favor.

On the best authority it is said that in the wholesale houses not only in America, but in France and England as well, there has been this season a bigger demand for elbow length silk gloves than there has been for at least five years. At the same time the manufacturers at home and abroad have scarcely been able to supply the demand for long gloves of glace kid.
 These are facts that certainly con- tradict the rumor that We are going to wear long sleeves, and while there can be no doubt that many of the smartest houses are making long sleeved models, it seems certain that they will have to wait at least until autumn to find them taken up with anything like enthusiasm.

ADVANTAGE OF RUGS
EASY 70 SEE THEIR SUPERIORITY
 OVER CARPETS.
Excellent Floor Coverings May Be Purchased at Moderate Prices LinoIeum for the Kitchen and
 Bathroom Is important.

It ought not to be necessary to point out wherein rugs have the ad- vantage over carpets. Hacked down floor coverings are no longer coun- tenanced by thoughtful people.
 But" somebody may object, the cost of replacing carpets by rugs is too expensive an item to consider !" Perhaps SO if attempted all at once, but If brought about gradually it will not seem a heavy burden. There are substitutes for the more costly rugs for sale at moderate prices.
 The washable cotton rugs for use in the bathrooms or even bedrooms will appeal to the woman of modest means. While combining practicability and eheapness, they are attractive at the same time.
 The so-called grass coverings should not be overlooked in this mat ter of desirable floor furnishings. Nearly all the department stores carry them, and the larger firms have mail order department always at the ready service of the out-of-town cus- toner
 Again, handsome and durable rugs may be made of odds and ends of old carpets. This work can be placed in the hands of certain manufacturers who make speciality of it, or the weaving can be done at home.
 Just a word in regard to one ob- jection brought against rugs of light weight-namely, their tendency to curl up around the edges. To eoun- teract this difficulty there are rug fasteners = compact little devices consisting of fat-headed pins to be nailed to the floor. with correspond ing metal hooks which are slipped over them after being attached to the rug
 The subject of kitchen and bath room linoleums is an important one. Get as good a quality as your purse will allow; it will pay i'll the end The inlaid variety in which the pattern remains intact as long as there is anything left of the linoleum itself, will give far better service than the printed kind, which looks well only as long as the surface remains in fair condition. As a good preseryative, two coats of good floor varnish may be given the linoleum.

Thread silk hose are not cobwebbv enough to suit the fair Parisienne. This winter fresh-colored silk stock. ings of transparent fineness were worn with the neat buttoned boot of satin, suede or kid, Now yelling stockings are being shown in the Paris shops and there is no difference between the texture of Russian cross-barred net face veil, except that the stocking is woven of stronger silk and the mesh is elastic. with more stretching quality than veil usually possesses The foot of the yelling stocking is of thread silk and there is a band of thread silk around the top for the accommodation of the garter clasps.

HOMES IF AUTHORS
Some Live Within the HauntS
 They Write Of.
But Arnold Bennett Pictures the Black MldIands from Fontainsbleau; Hall Caine Surveys Isle of Man
 From G-eeba Castle.

London.-London may be the lite our leading authors prefer to live and work somewhere on the circumfer- ence. Most of the noyelists, at any rate, escape beyond reach of the mo tor-buses. Some of them have cho- sen to breathe the atmosphere of their own books. J. M Barries postal address is Kirriemuir which is the name that map-makers give to Thrums Thomas Hardy and Sir Ar thur Quiller-Couch likewise dwell among their own people, the one in Wessex and the other in the Delecta- ble Duchy. Hall Caine surveys the Isle of Man from the windows, or pos sibly the battlements and loopholes, of Greeba Castle. Others are widely scattered over the shires. Rider Flag gard is country squire in Norfolk. Mrs. Steel lives in North Wales, Mau- rice Hewlett at Salisbury, Mrs. Hum- phry Ward in Herts, J. K. Jerome and c. K. Chesterton in Bucks, Joseph Conrad in Kent, and W. w Jacobs in Essex.
 No one would ever guess where Ar mold Bennett has been making his home for some years. His studies of life in the Black Country of the Eng fish Midlands have been written at Fontainebleau! Though only days journey distant, he has thus been practically as much in exile from his Five Towns as Stevenson was from Edinburgh when in Samoa. He has now finally put aside all temptations to belong to other nations. and has

Variety In Hats.

Hats are still claiming much atten- tion, the black straws edged with white, or with white crowns among the most expensive of them. Hemp hats and chips are more costly than the Neapolitan straws, and black is the popular tone. Large hats are fa- .vorites, but small ones are so useful they cannot be displaced Pink hemp hats, also black hemp combined with deep rose color are good sellers. These may be trimmed with pink ros- es or with blue forget-me-nots and black velvet ribbon in streamers and loops. Among millinery novelties is a bandbox for the baby's hats, daint- fly painted in pink or blue on white cardboard
