Special to the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, June 16:-With
an eye to "clean sweep" the Dem
ocratic leaders In Middlesex county
are making plans to place one OF
the strongest tickets in the field for
the fall campaign that was ever sup
ported by the Democratic party. And
it is reported on good authority that
the foregoing slate has the present
call on any other that can be sug-
gested OF course, If Prosecutor
Florance is elected state senator, he
would Immediately resign as prose-
cutor, SO the following may be added
to complete this boom from the first
gun OF likely strenuous campaign:
For prosecutor--Assistan Prose-
cutor John A. Coan, of South AM
boy.
For assistant observation-disclosures
Assemblyman John II. kirkpatrick,
of Jamesburg.
At the present writing Prosecutor
Florance is considered by many
Democratic followers as the strong
est man that the Wilsonites can
nominate to succeed DR.. William e.
Ramsay, of Perth Amboy, who re-
signed as state senator a few weeks
ago to accept a seat in the Water
Supply Commission. DR.. Ramsay's
term would have expired this year.
1t is known, however, that Assembly
man Quinn, of Perth Amboy, has de-
signs on the state senatorship, and
he may not be contented with an
other term in the House of Assem-
bly,. He has been thrice elected to
the lower house and, of course, is
well qualified to sit in the state SEN
ate. 1t is generally understood that
he can have another nomination for
the assembly for the asking, and no
Republican candidate has appeared
on the horizon to date who could
give Mr.. Quinn battle for the Office.
If Mr.. Quinn does not run for assem-
bly, there will be 101 candidates, In
ell probability, for the Democratic
nomination. The one most favorably
mentioned here is Lawyer Jacob B.
Joselson, of Perth Amboy, who was
defeated for the assembly four years
ago.
The reported candidacy of Mr..
Florance was published by the
EVENING NEWS Immediately fol-
lowing the Democratic get-together
dinner at New Brunswick week
ago. Although county newspapers
have since denied that the prosecu-
tor would be a candidate, it Is now
declared that his candidacy is prac-
tically certainty.
Messrs Anderson and Loblein,
who are two of the present assem-
blymen, will probably seek another
term, at least. They can stand on
their records and win, the Democrats
say.
Republicans Think Different.
However, the Republicans are get
ting ready to dispute this contention
and one candidate already has enter
ed the field. Frederick Richardson,
a young lawyer of this city, has

DRESSED-UP CAKE BOXES.

Have you seen the new dressed-up cake
boxes in the fancy-work shops and in
the exclusive little gift shops where all
sorts of novelties can be bought? They
are rather expensive little novelties and
not within the range Of the average
housewife who must be economical But
II is so easy to make them and there
are SO many uses to which they can be
put that we all ought to know about
them.
Many Of them are the size OF cake
boxes and they are made OF tin ana
have covers that fit down tight lhen
the box and the cover are both covered
with some quantity designed chinz held
in place around the edges with French
gold braid These boxes can be used to
hold cake, candy or waters and are very
useful for the tea table or for the woman
who boards and wants to have neat
but dry place to dispose Of cakes and
waters.
Several Of the more expensive OF these
boxes are covered with brocade silk, but
whether covered with chinz or cretonne
It should be laid on the box very neatly
and drawn into place, then pasted into
shape. Then when the edge Of the fabric
around the edge Of the box has been
neatly cut OF a narrow gold braid should
be pasted or glued into position.
ANY size box can De USED NOuHu OONCS
such as marshmallows come in or wafer
boxes make very dainty foundations for
fancy candy or wafer boxes. For 10 cents
tin cases designed to hold flour can be
bought and these may be converted into
very acceptable small cake boxes.
Another interesting box that is sold in
the fancy-work shops Is the old-fashioned
sugar bucket transformed into most de-
Iightful looking storehouse for cakes and
crackers, cookies and candies. So If you
have one of these old-fashioned recep-
tacles in the attic or in the kitchen get
It out. First have it thoroughly SCRUB

filled with putty.
After the box has dried thoroughly
apply a generous coat of some enamel

light green or bun would be a good Sc
lection When this is thoroughly dry you
can add the decoration which may be
either a neat stripe painted in another
color around the rim OF the box and over
the handles or it can be a design painted
on in a contrasting color by means OF
a stencil.
Old butter boxes can be painted in this
way so that they are very useful ana
pretty. The quaint bright colors are
very much in keeping with the present
tendency in decorations and with 1T
tie ingenuity and a careful use OF the
paint brush an amateur can make from
a box that costs practically nothing and
paint that costs perhaps only . cents
a box that would cost at one of the spe-
ciaIty shops as much as S or more.

By MARY MARSHALL.

'GOo0 mlllllerS are not Irdlneu' Iney
are born" Such, in brief, was the unsn-
imous answer of a half dozen prominent
milliners when asked to give their ad-
vice as to the best way for a young
woman to train herself for the millinery
profession-one of the three or four most
lucrative occupations at present open to
women.
The above statement does not mean
that milliners do not have to go through
a certain course of training; but it does
mean that unless a woman has an in
born, unmistakable taste and aptitude
for millinery all the training in all the
millinery training schools in the world
and dozens of years of apprenticeship
under the foremost miliners of New
York, London, or Paris would not make
her worth anything as a millinery de-
signer.
One of the best things about this voca-
ton is that the training for It need cost
nothing for experienced miliners now in
business seem to think that the best
way for a young woman to begin her
millinery career is to start In as an ap-
prentice.
This apprenticeship. if possible, should
be served in a large city. either in a
millinery shop or in the millinery work
room Of a department store.
The "no-pay" apprenticeship, such
as is offered in some of the fashion
able millinery shops is not the sort
of uphill struggle you might suppose.
An apprentice who is paid even a
slight wage is supposed to run er-
rands, answer telephone calls, carry
bundles-in short, earn her wage. But
the no-pay apprentice is looked upon
more as a pupil than as an en-
ploye. The employer-the madam,
as the woman who runs her own
millinery shop is usually referred to
by her employes-is in duty bound
to give her no-pay apprentices a good
deal of help and direction in payment
for the services they give her.
The hours of work for the ap-
prentice are usually from to =
o'clock six days a week-long hours
to be sure, for the young woman
who has been used to the leisure OF
her own home; but every hour spent
in this work is Just so much more
knowledge gained. Besides that, the
young woman who is not able TO
stand the strain of working long
hours alta stretch probably will never
make a financial success Of this ex-
acting profession, and the sooner she
finds II out, the better.
The best time of year to start in on
an apprenticeship is in the spring or
autumn, when the millinery season
| is the busiest and the milliners are
really anxious to get more hands al
work Usually the millinery employer
can tell in a week or so-a month
at the most-whether or not an ap-
prentice has anything in her that CAN
be developed into a good milliner, and
to keep a young woman not SO gifted
at work in the millinery shop is q
waste of time-and, therefore, money
for the milliner as well as for the
young woman apprentice. So an un-
successful apprenticeship generally
terminates quickly.
Suppose you cannot AFFORD to take
eight or nine months no-pay ap'
renticeship-which. though IL costs
nothing for tuition, means. IL your
home is not in the city $500 or $500
outlay for board and expenses-what
then?
There are pay-spprentice positions u
all except the most renowned Of the mil
