as if they were just anybody at all. Is 1t that
to be fashionable involves the expenditure OF
money, and the eagerness thus to dispense it
vanishes when it is plentifully theirs to
spend? Does it mean that to be stylish con-
notes that one is making an effort to lit her
self to an elevation to which she by rank is not
entitled, and that these really smart women
dcspise the ladder leading to their own lofty
strongholds2 Would it mean that they were
not great enough to ignore even M. Worth If
they consistently complied with his dictates?
Or does the situation indicate merely that they
have ignored the discipline which makes even
good dressing day in and day out hardship?
The dressmaker and in Newport were not
so much amazed at the defiance of the styles.
1t is hddling thing indeed to have all OF your
hundred and eighteen skirts narrowed by five
inches round the bottom every time somebody
in Paris says they shall be five inches less
wide But what rather astonishes is the in
difference to the little niceties, such as colored
dresses which have not faded, tailored suits
which have not mussed, and frills that are lese
frilly than strngy You would think that even
the rich would take an interest in wearing
their fchus huted. The department store
clerk with an income of So week and ten

enthusiasm at night to wash out her white
waist in order to have it fresh for the next day

It seems a queer thing, doesn't it, that those
bearing the highest names do not hold them
selves up to the same standards OF punctilious-
ness?
Still, this implies their attitude is deliberate,
whereas it is rather indifferent The girl at the
ruf1ing counter is enthusiastic, but it is diff
cult thing to keep up ones enthusiasm at New
port on an income of half million year. Ono

Even the clerk, used to the bad dressing OF
Newport, was surprised at her visitor. The
woman looked as if she had tramped for miles,
and the shoulders of her tailored suit were
dusty In an ofhand way she bought FIVE hats
and asked TO have them charged to her own
account. The name she mentioned was that OF
the daughter of perhaps the most autocratic
social dictator our Republic has ever stood Tor.
Her residence is indeed handsome place,
where sense for the exquisite is displayed.
Sometimes at entertainments there the mis-
tress of so much grandeur appears in robes OF
regal beauty and splendor.
And so it is with all of the women who BIOS

WANTS REGULATION BUT

Mayor Thomas L. Raymond SUBJ
mitted today to City Clerk Alexander
Archibald the jftney ordinance with
his veto. together with long message
setting forth his reasons. .'I have
written a message to the council for
the purpose of clarifying the situation
as to my views" he said. The mes
sage and vetoed ordinance will be re-
ceived by the Comon Council at the
last meeting of the year. Wednesday
night
After hearin both sides of the jitney
controversy the mayor came to the
conclusion that the regulations and
Requirements in the ordinance were en-
tirely inadeqiiate. He is of the opinion
that regulations should be set UP in
an ordinance. but he does not favor
driving the jitneys out of business
for all times" as he says the present
ordinance would do. One of the rea-
Is. that the clause providing for the
furnishing of a bond of not less than
$1,000 is not specific and tha does
tnot set forth what the security or
insurance shall be against. The al
legged careless and Illegal phrase
ology" is also objected to by the
mayor. and the message which he has
written to the council is said to be
rather pointed.
Only recently Mayor Raymond said
that during the coming year he ex-
pected the Common Council to CO.
operate with him in the administra-
tion of city affairs. If the Demo-
cratic majority refuses to do this he
claims he will veto all matters which
are passed by the council. He is also
insistent that the Democratic ma
jority shall recognize the Republican
minority members more than they
have done during the past year.

NJ GOVERN MAKES
CHARGE OF PLOT
AMONG LEADERS
Hudson Chairman Says Martin,
Kinkead and Others Seeks
to Gust Griffin.

Special to the Evening star
HOBOKEN, Dec. 27.-Bitter denun-
citation of Sheriff Eugene F. Kinkead.
of Hudson county, and Secretary of
State Thomas F. Martin was con-
tanned in a statement issued to news
paper men here today by John j. Nc
Govern. Hudson county clerk and
Democratic county chairman, embody-
ing the allegation that the above
mentioned men entered into con-
spiracy with William r. Terdon, Re-
publican leader in Hoboken, TO oust
Mayor Patrick r. Griffin and Com
missioner Bernard McFeely, of this
city, and that they were primarily re-
sponsible for the issuance of the pc
tition providing for the recall of the
mayor and commissioner. It is as
serted that Surrogate John P. Egan,
County Register John ]. McMahon
and City Commissioner George F.
Brensinger, all Jersey City Democrats.
were parties TO this surreptitious
coalition.
The startling statement accuses
Verdon Of joining forces with the two
Democrats so that Hoboken could be
run solely according to G. o. p. die
tates, and that in return for their as
sistance in the ousting of the Demo-
cratic regime he would use his in
fluence among the Republican legis-
lators at Trenton during the ap-
preaching session TO stave off the
threatened legislation providing for
the investigation of certain offices in
the State ond county held by Demo-
Gratis. 1t is said that the proposed
probe, If carried out, would bring 10
.ght things that would cause a State
wide political upheaval.
