Shall it be "A Home" or The
Poorhouse"?
You are the one to answer this
question.
If you had an aged mother
would you allow her to go to the
poorhouse? No. ten thousand
times no. You would toll from
early morn until late at night but
what YOU would support her. But
suppose that aged woman has no
children or relations to fall back
on for support? What then? The
poorhouse? | say no, ten thous-
and times no. Such is the case of
one in our midst. The old lady
(fOr such she isl is now nearing
her three score and ten birthday.
She has no relatives that she can
rely on for support. She is now
wandering aimlessly about trying
to secure work and a place to stay.
But what can a woman seventy
years of age do to support herself?
She has been turned out with moth
ing but a needle to fight the great
battle of the world. 1t is only a
question of time before she will be
compelled to go to the pOorhouSe.
Are you going to send her there? =?
The old lady would like very
much to go to a home for aged
women, but she is without the
means. Will you help in raising
the money? If you wish to help
raise this money send your check
to the Newark Post" If you do
not wish to contribute by check
stop in the office Of the Post and
leave your contribution. This ar
ticle is not published to fill up
space, it is published for you to
read and mediate upon. If you
are not convinced that you should
give to this cause read Gen. XIV,
32.46.

All money raised in this way

friendship and not charity. l spoke
of a home for Mrs. Whitaker last
July but was informed that Mrs.

The Explanation

A word of explanation may be
in order. We were asked for the
use of our Peoples Column by "A
Friend" In order to spare any
embarrassment caused by public
ity, we purposely refrained from
publishing the name. In response
to Mrs. Kierski, we forwarded the
name in question with explana-
tions. The publication of the first
article was in no way humiliating
as Mrs. Whitaker, we are inform
ed, was delighted at the kind
thoughtfulness of her friends.
We are forwarding the details
of the Home in question to Mrs.
Kierski. Should she make provi-
sions as stated in her letter above,
all money received will be return
ed to the contributors. Ed.

Venturing upon the becalmed sea Of
summer fashions these three sailors
went sailing from the safe harbor of
the salons where such wonderful craft
are made. They are the something
new" which we could hardly expect,
and the something beautiful, for which
we hoped, in headwear.
The wide-brimmed hat in black
malines overlaid with lace has small
crown and Is reported as a forerunner
Of this particular type for fall. The
brim is fiat as we'll as wide, and gives
the hat character, while the crown Is
negligible-just a crown that fits the
head-and nothing more. Lace and
folded bands of satin ribbon adorn 1t,
and at the front an odd half-wheel OF
goura feathers seems exactly the right
ornament in the right place.
Just below, a white felt sailor, with
brim less wide and curving slightly
upward demonstrates the perennial
style Of the French idea in sailors.
A bow of black velvet ribbon is set be-
low the back brim and, for decora-
ton, transparent oak leaves Of black
chiffon are laid fiat to the brim and a
double row of round pearl beads is set
against the crown.
A combination of black straw braid
of the shiny sort, and heavy white
linen makes up the third of these
smart hats. It's brim is the narrowest
of the three and it's crown the most
ambitious as to size and trimming.
Even at that, 1t is simply trimmed
with small pair Of outspread wings
in black, mounted fiat against the
brim, and a row Of crocheted balls

JULIA BoTToMLEY.
A Clear Skin,

Good health is the only lasting pre-
scription for a good skin. CosmeticG
and lotions will do no good If the real
trouble is lack Of exercise or indiscre-
ton in eating. Indigestion is the cause
of many pimply skins and sluggish dis
positions. Your stomach and its health
will reflect on your beauty.
Many girls lunch daily on a dish Of
ice cream or some candy. A saIlow,
muddy complexion is the inevitable
result. You should make every meal
as substantial as possible, and do not
eat between meals.
Women who form the habit Of get
ting up late. then rushing of without
any breakfast, or none to speak OF,
will soon show the results Of this in
their faces. The midday meal need not
be heavy-a salad, pattie. q fYht

Only one entirely new couture has
attracted widespread attention this
season, and that Is the Bobby" in
which the hair appears to be bobbed
OF at the sides, as children wear it.
But other pretty arrangements merit
the approval that has been accorded
them. Two becoming and neat-look-
Ing coiffures are shown here, suited to
those women who like simple styles
and the well-groomed look that be-
longs to carefully waved hair.
At the left is a couture which is
an inspiration of the Bobby" The
hair is parted at the middle and
waved. A little fringe across the fore
head is curled slightly, and the part
made as inconspicuous as possible by
lifting the hair at each side so that
It lies evenly but loosely on the head
1t is pulled forward in front Of the
ears and lies on the cheek in wave
It is arranged in three fat coils
across the back. and fine hair net
preserves its neat appearance.
Hair nets should be drawn very
lightly over the couture and pinned
with invisible hairpins in many
places. They are not noticed wher
put on in the right way, but usually
they fiatten the hair by being drawn
too tightly over 1t.
At the right q waved couture II
shown parted at the side. The bacl
hair Is arranged In figure "S" and al
otnamented comb is thrust into thu
coil. The comb Is Of tortoise shell

OruandIe Over Silk.

Powered organizes are back in fash
ion for summer frocks. Lovely ef-
fects may be obtained by mounting
the Powered organdie over thin silk.
The silk need not necessarily match
the tint of the flowers; for instance a
lavender Powered organdie is mounted
over pale pink pussy-willow silk; a
rose Powered organdie is mounted
over faint lilac and 30 on. Black vel
vet ribbon sashes are much faI cied
with these pretty costumes, and the
sharp note of black seems to make
the soft colors of the organdie all the
softer and more dainty.

Cane Clasps.

There are some decidedly tempting
cape clasps for sale this summer
things the jewellers have provided in
response to the fashions for capes.
They are now used chiefly for eve
ming, time when the cape or cape
like coat is much used. Sometimes
the clasp consists of a single big
stone dangling by a chain from a
small, dull metal clamp. SometI mes
the clasp is much like the old-fash-
toned belt buckle, or chased metal,
enamel, or metal set with stones.
