RUM RING TO FIGHT
SUFFRAGE IN JERSEY
Women Face Combine of Liquor
Dealers in Valiant Battle for
Franchise.

TRENTON, March 27.--At n meeting of
the liquor dealers Of the state held here
several days ago 1t was decided to hght
the constitutional amendment giving
women the right TO vote at all elections
This decision was reached In spite OF the
advice of prominent political leaders, VINO
told the liquor ring that 1t would be a
bad mistake to oppose woman suffrage.
The politicians OF both parties have de-
cided to remain absolutely neutral on the
question and to let the voters decide on
the question The women have been
guaranteed fair election. and nothing
will be done to hamper them in their
campaign work.
The opposition OF the liquor dealers to
woman suffrage Is due to the fact that
once they get the vote they will use 1t
in favor OF prohibition. The total New
Jersey vote in 1912 was 1857, or some
20lOoO less than the number will be II
the women will be permitted to vote.

jEWELRY IN VARIED COLORS
Black and Gray May Be Considered the Most Popular of the Sea
 sons Offerings.

Jet, although discarded until but lately, is making it's reappearance now. It is worn, of course, with a difference. Gone are those clumsy brooches, those large, obtrusive beads. Instead, there are brooches formed like small plaques and carved with classic designs, and necklaces, if worn at all are of small beads, some times interspersed with tiny pearls, or they are of dull and bright black jet in attenuation.
 Onyx jewelry is liked, but it is not worn by those in deep mourning. Black enamel, studded with infinitesi. nal diamonds, or merely outlining a diamond brooch or pendant that is set jour, is often worn with half mourning Black enamel slides. or white enamel ones, or those of paste and diamond, are slipped over rib bon of black velvet that tightly en- circles the throat
 Amethysts are the stones par ex. cellence and are beautiful when mounted in gray or white enamel, or in the new silver that has 8 gray finish. Gray agate cut en cacochon and mounted in platinum or dull sil yer has a subdued effect and is ap propriate for wearing with gray frock Gray pearls, including, o1 course, artificial ones, are lovely with a gray frock.
 There is nothing so becoming to a white wrist as black bangle. Single bangles, not too narrow, of bright jet are the mode, and they are some times studded with diamond or pearl.
 White crystals, both plain and en graved, are other stones well adapted for wear now. A solitary stone is sometimes slung on a slender chain o1 platinum and worn around the neck hanging half way to the waist.

AS IN DAGUERRE0TYPE DAYS
Afternoon Gowns With Short Sleeves and Low Cut Necks Are
 Now in Order.

Short sleeves and low cut neck in an afternoon frock is one of the pret- tiest new ideas that have been sent over from Paris. Long ago such gowns, were worn way back in daguerreotype days. Those who may not wish to go about with bare arms and uncovered throat will probably do just as they did in those days-wear tucker and undersleevea..
 Another fashion is that of after noon gowns of fragile materials, like chiffon and net. They are in black or dark colors and have a certain heaviness given them by the trim mings of velvet or satin. In some models they are almost covered with encircling ribbons of velvet or satin This seems to give such gowns the quality of solidity needed in daytime light.
 Drop skirts that do not come to the transparent hems of these gowns make them look disconcertingly short. They give a filmy dress edge that is almost necessary in the abbreviated frOcks.

TEACH BOYS MILITARY DRILL
Australian Youths Enter Ranks of "Junior Cadets" at Age of Twelve
 -Must Be a Soldier.

Australian boys begin their military career at the age of twelve years, when they enter the ranks of the "Ju' nior Cadets" and drill under the in. struction of their schoOlteachers. Their target practice is limited to shooting what is popularly known as the "twenty.two" rife.
 At the age of fourteen the school boy is graduated into the Senior Ca dets" and here his military training begins in dead earnest. He learns to care for his rife which the govern ment furnishes to him. The state also gives him an olive drab military uni form. He learns the movements of squad and company formations and learns to deploy as skirmisher.
 The Australian schoolboy becomes a soldier irrespective of his own wishes in the matter, or those of his parents. Truancy officers, such as in this country watch the attendance at school, in Australia hale into court the parents of boys who are absent from their military drill, and it is not an infrequent occurrence for heavy fines to be levied on parents who are indifferent to their sons military adu' cation.-The American Boy.

Finish for Pillows.

Rufles, which had so long been eliminated as finish for pillow cov- CTS, are again being used, especially for those made of the gayly patterned, printed stuffs, such as cretonnes end chintz. The ruffies, so far, are gen. erally confiped to the round shaped pillows, which are in favor at pros- ent. e4
 The rufies should not be more than two inches wide and the material is usually folded double and either plaited CT gathered. If the material is cotton of rather stiff quality. a plaited ruff1e would be smart, but if the fabric is of thin silk, in one of the futurist patterns, gathered rufhe. which when folded double would look not unlike puff around it, would be most effective.
