HISTORIC OLD SALEM
ancient Landmark of the An
Gent Quaker City.
william Penn Landed at Site of Town
Long Before Philadelphia Was
Even Thought OILS Well
Nigh 800 Years Old.

New York.-Salem, N. J., Quaker
city, is really older than the Quaker
City, and the pictures here shown are
of some of it's ancient landmarks. Nat
urally the town is one of great histor-
ic interest and one which will well re-
pay the study of the historian.
Before Philadelphia was even
thought of William Penn and his party
made landing where the city of Sa-
lem now stands. 1t was covered then
with beautiful forest, and out of the
slaughter of trees that has followed
one handsome oak was saved. 1t has
successfully battled with wind and
weather well ON to 800 years. The
spread of its branches is 1T feet, it's
girth two feet from the ground, is 20
feet eight inches and it's height is
IS feet
The tree is in the center of the
Quaker burial ground, and this fact is
believed to account for it's great size
and endurance. The Salem people
are very proud of the tree, and it has
a "caretaker" The old Wood house
near the wharf, at the foot of the
same street which the old oak beau
titles, bears the date of 1851, and was
built by bricks brought from England
by the Penn colonists. This ancestral
dwelling of 223 years is now occupied
and kept in good repair.
The city of Salem being one of the
very oldest communities in the United
States, it is naturally one of the most
interesting, and many are the build
ings which have endured far beyond
the usual time buildings are supposed
to stand.
One of the features of the old and
substantial dwellings is the date at
the end of the building and sometimes
the initials of the original owner.
The residence of Henry H. Johnson,
known as the Johnson homestead, has
from decade to decade been in the
possession of a Johnson family from
the time of its builder, Colonel Rob-
ert G. Johnson, up to the present own
er, who has no heirs, and great inter
est is felt as to whom the property

of the residence is a magnificent es-
tate, kept up in Colonial style. The
interior Of the mansion has carved
mantels and all the handsome furni-
ture Of Revolutionary times.
Salem and Greenwich, N. J., have
their old but picturesque Quaker
meeting house. Each town has two.
Why? Because years ago there was
a division. Many left the old creed,
and to this day are called Hicksites
from the man whom they followed.
Those still clinging to the Orthodox
are few and are fast dying out
Many OF the Orthodox meeting
houses are closed, while the majority
of those by tie other branch are in q
iourishing condition.
The Quakers are conservative, they
at times hinder radical changes. They
are wealthy and compose the best
class Of people. The men and women
enter different doors-the men do not
take of their hats. The service is a
season OF silence. Ministers with
fiowery words are not in evidence
even at the weddings-the contracting
parties tie their own knot. 1t seems
more serious and binding than when
a minister does it.
March 81, 177e, there was a massa-

THE SEPARATE BLOUSE.

The Eood-looking street suit Is getting

wardrobe. No matter what are the ad-
rantages Of wearing q separate coat for
street wear, it is an unrefutable fact that
woman never looks so smart and well
groomed for street, for church, for calling
Or for informal tea as when dressed in q
suit Ready-made suits can be bought
nowadays by the housewife Of even the
most limited income and with a dainty
blouse this suit can be worn at almost
every afternoon occasion.
This autumn there is an interesting va
riety Of models on which to pattern the
homemade separate blouse. The use of
swiss and net detachable chemisettes
Greatly aids the home dressmaker in
Eashioning the separate waist, for 1t Is
The neck line that is usually the vexing
proposition in the homemade waist

settes that are to be found in the shops

lection ought 10 be made. For the rest
of the waist q very good selection to
make is thin crepe de chine. Chiffon is
hard TO manage, and needs Innings Of
some sort while a thin crepe de chine Is
extremely effective and is easily managed.
IA plain back set in tuclIs or yoke into
which the back is gathered on a cord is
not hard to manage. The front can be
faid IN tucks or in gathers on either side
o. the chemisette section. If short sleeves
are used a small undersleeve or net or
swiss can be used, or If long sleeves are
preferred the finish at the wrist can be
of ruffiing or net or swiss to match the
chemisette. The closing OF the neck Of

.blouses, there can be a tie Of the ma
'terial OF the waist arranged in a knot at
the closing Of the neck.
This autumn there are to be many sepa-
rate blouses Of contrasting colors and Of
'fsncy striped and figured silks. Soft thin
silks can be bought to go tremendously
with the suit. and the relief Of the white
at the neck will prevent these colors from
hooking too heavy against the neck.
II a thin blouse is desired the home
'dressmaker had better use net than chif-
hon A silk net used over a thin china
six lends itself to the work of a nonpro-

There has been some talk about the
passing of the V neck in Paris and there
have been even rumors Of blouses closing
|at the back. But for American women
who realize that a becoming garment is
more to be desired than one fashioned
after the latest Paris creations the line
of the V neck will probably continue.

line Of black velvet about the neck above

LATEST FADs IN EMBROIDERY

Do you remember the old-fashioned
chenille embroidery? Like many other
things Of a few years ago, it has come
back into the favor Of fashion, but in
a glorifed form. Linen pillow tops are
embroidered in chenille in natural color
ings. A few table runners are also in
chenille embroidery.
Probably one Of the newest things in
inexpensive pillow tops is the introduce
ton of Aberdeen crash with other ma
terials appliqued thereon. piece of
tapestry effect will often be used for
the latter purpose. Gold or fancy braids
are used along the line OF juncture.
Filet braid is now most effectively en-
ployed in carrying out centrepiece and
dresser-runner designs. Heretofore Il
was most extensively and yet almost ex-
clusively used in conjunction with en-
broidery done on filet lace. Its possibiI-
itie0 were too great to be ignored for
very long, hence 1t Is being utilized as
chief decorative feature in many new
needlework pieces.
The new Irish crochet collars have
embroidered linen motifs replacing the
eternal crocheted rose. Most Of these
motifs are of floral design. but here and
there a conventional pattern is intro
duced just to show how varied and at
tractive this new combination can be.
Some OF the motifs are embroidered on

PANEL OR COURT TRAIN.

A pretty and unique fashion is that
of a court panel Of velvet worn with
the afternoon or evening frock Of DIFF
ferent material. The panel is but a trifle
less than the width of the shoulders, to
which it is fastened by artificial flowers
or by ornamental buckles or buttons. IT
falls from the shoulders to within three
inches of the bottom of the skirt. At
the waist line It is caught under the
girdle. 1t is so fastened at this waist
line that il is drawn in with a slight
fuIlness, but spreads out, however, be-
fore reaching the bottom of the skirt.
Usually the panel is OF black velvet, al
though there is no doubt that before
long it will appear in colors to match
the frock or be found as one bright color
contrasting another. The effect is quite
regal and the panel affords a very be-
coming finish to the back OF a gown,
successfully concealing the fastenings.
1t should be made so that it can be
detached at will
