A MESSAGE FROM A GREAT ENGL1SHMAN

IN ROM 20 Carlton Terrace, London S. W., England,
Sir Gilbert Parker sends the Virginia Enterprise,
and probably some thousands of other American
newspapers autographed letter that he has
given instructions have The Observer" Sunday paper
of the highest standing which has been published for 1924
years. sent to them weekly He calls attention to the fact
that because the cable dispatches necessarily
tailed, clear and comprehensive idea be had of
British public opinion British comment upon the war,
mission which he hopes The Observer will at least partially
fulfill.
Sir Gilbert Parker has warm spot in the hearts of
American newspaper men. He has many sympathetic
relations with the people Of the United States through his
fine books and his recent comment upon President Wilson's
in the Lusana matter has heightened the general
admiration for him here His "Observer" will be welcome
in every American newspaper Office and thrice after it
has been carefully read.
The first copy Of The Observer reached The Enter
prise yesterday 1t is great newspaper. The impressive
thing about its editorial comment the the gen.
eral conservative and optimistic tone adopts It is
telling the people of England, current reports
would have believe that the will be in few
weeks 1t is not ngostic derogatory in it's treatment
of the German empire its people its armies. tells
its readers plainly that this is Of exhaustion, in
which blow must be given for blow and that while the
Germans may have lost every vestige Of their former
general ascendancy, months of tremendous combat with
fluctuations and cssitudes must be fought before the
allies in their turn establish anything like unquestion
able mastery"
Inc Germans says Inc observer, are SILL able TO
give blow for blow That fact must modify the sanguine
assumptions which have recently failed and ought to
vince everyone that in the campaign opened it will
require all efforts to repeat the Of Neuve
Chapelle at various points larger SCALE to guard
in our turn against countercoups and to make the
whole, slow but sure progress"
This quite the contrary of the general impression of
the English attitude which here obtains and is therefore
interesting 1t is impressive because Of it's conservatism
and apparent sound logic The coming of The Observer
will hereafter be anticipated with pleasure by The Enter
prise Its copies will be available any Of its friends

You have drunk, o my friend, to the vctors,
You have toasted the valiant and strong;
To the great of the earth you have drunk in your mrt
TO the wise you have lifted your song
1t is wel-they worthy, my brothers,
AS aught that the heavens span;
But here's to health of the others,

To the men who went down in the struggle,
To the runners who finished unpaced
To TIE weak and the young, the unknown, the unsung,
The depraved the oppressed, the disgraced;
Who are you that should dare to reject them?
Do you know what the handicap weighed?
Did you suffer the pain, the race stand the stran

Far or near, it's to them, the Inflated,

Stand up-raise your glass to the beaten,
With good health to-Also Ran.

Lace Novelties.

Wide flouncing, with a very narrow
design along the edge, is one of the
peculiarities of this years laces. This
is new and can be used in the gowns
where the skirt is a series Of over
tapping silk and lace f1ounces. Among
such designs is the "Boule de neige."
The narrow border which outlines the
deep scallop is a vine dotted by little
round balls of the thread. Another
novelty, fur lace. has so thick a che
mile design that it looks like fur. A
deep iouncing with a double row of
scallops with this extremely narrow
border is for the foundation skirt, that
is unlined and covered to just about
the ankles with satin or velvet over
tunic. The ankles show through this
lace flouncing.

~ VERY woman likes to possess pref
II ty and dainty accessories of dress,
no matter how fragile and short-lived
their glory and freshness may be.
Here are three Of the new things that
have considerable durability to their
credit and are indisputably attractive,
and therefore popular.
At the left is a corset cover of pale
pink crepe de chine and shadow lace
with shoulder straps and decorative
flowers of satin ribbon. The same mod
ell may be bought in any of the light
shades and in white, at so modest a
price that almost anyone may crafty

buying it. A little can be saved by
making it at home, when the price
will be something less than a dollar
for the material.
In making such small garments
there Is a saving usually in making
two at one time. The width of the
silk and lace is sufficient when the
length required Is purchased to make
two corset covers like that shown
here.
A straight strip Of the crepe de
chine is decorated with three groups
of tiny hand-run tucks and hemmed up
along one edge. The other edge Is
stitched-by hand, If possible-to a
strip of shadow lace of the same
length as the silk. The upper edge Of
the lace is bound with satin ribbon,
and shoulder straps of the same rib
bon are sewed to place.
Three small ribbon daisies or fat
roses with pale yellow centers are
sewed to the front, and baby ribbon
is run through the binding at the top
and the hem at the bottom, in order to
adjust the garment to the figure.
At the right is a neckband Of velvet
ribbon bordered with anticipated lace
and fastened with hook and eye un-

;EURS and pushes and other warmth
conserving, fabrics help to make it
possible for the devotee of the touring
car to face ordinary winter weather
and keep comfortable. Goats with
broad collars of fur that can be fas-
tened up close about the neck. caps
that stick to the head and are soft,
shaped to protect the eyes and not to
catch the wind, with wells that cannot
come off-all have been planned for
her. Fur-lined gloves for the maid
that likes to drive, and the contest of
'~overshoes, encourage her to defy the
weather.
Here are two caps that are thor
,oughly practical and at the same time
have the compelling virtue of being
goodlooking. They are modelled after
the 1aunty j~ockey-cap type, but have
full, soft crowns and can be pulled
down over the ears.
In each of them the veil is held in
place by narrow straps made of the
same material as the cap. These
straps are sewed at one end to the
cap and fasten at the other with
snap fasteners. This allows the veil
to be brought down over the face and
wound about the throat, or to be fas.
tened up off the face or wholly de.
tached.
The cap at the left has a stiff visor
lowered with cloth and lined with silk.

PLAY NECESSARY For CHILD
Most Important for His Proper DsveL
opment, and There Should Be
Safe Places Provided.

"And the streets Of the city shall be
full Of boys and girls playing in the
streets thereof" Thus zechariah in
$40 B. @. But there were fewer motor
cars in Zechariah's day than there are
In ours. The children now need, for
their play, some place safer than the
street, declares the Craftsman.
More important than the play
ground, however, is the play. It IL
well that children should play In a
safe place, but it is absolutely nsces-
sary that they should play somewhere
II they are to grow up at all. For
there is no doubt now, l think, in the
minds Of educators that play builds
the child. 1t Is the method that ma
ture has provided for his development.

a Test for Linen.

Everything that's labeled linen isn't
linen. 1t may be part cotton and part
linen, and it may be mercerized cotton
with a very small portion of linen in
it.
To test the material you buy for
linen, drop water on the goods. II it
is all linen the moisture spreads rap
idly and dries quickly. On cotton the
fabric will remain moist for some
time.
Glycerin is considered a better test
than water. 1t causes linen to appear
transparent.
Another test for linen is by break
ing the yarn. If cotton the ends will
curl up, If pure linen the ends remain
smooth.

age. This may be worn with the
ruche outstanding and is a very simple
affair to make at home, as the lace
plating comes ready made.
The little bow made of wire covered
with narrow velvet ribbon that is
wound over it, finishes a ~neckband
of velvet which fastens at the back.
These bows, unattached to the band,
are worn over standing ruches to sup
port the lace or maline of which they
are made.

Play indeed is the positive side of the
whole phenomenon of infancy. The
reason the higher animals, and man
above all, are born SO helpless and un-
formed ia that they may be finished
by this special method. It is for the
sake of play that infancy exists. that
there La such a thing as a child at all.
The child who is deprived of his
chance to play is deprived of his op.
~portunity to grow up.

Mats for the Table.

Very useful, inexpensive table mats
may be made from thick brown cor
rugated packing paper. Cut out size
and shape required, and use two
thscknesses, placing the smooth sur
faces back to back. Sew them firmly
together at the edges. and cover them
with muslin oil any other washing
fabric. The covers may be removed
and washed when they become soilsd.

Caps of this kind are often made Of
the same material as the coat
The cap at the right is made of
notified plush with a narrow, flexible
brim that takes the place of a visor.
In it the crown is not quite so full
as in the cloth cap. because the fabric
is heavier and looks much like fur.
The floating veil is long or short,
of more or less heavy chiffon in a
washable quality and color. Caps Of
this type are inexpensive and alto
gether dependable.

STATE HEALTH BOARD
HOLDS SEWER HEARING
Considerable Opposition Developed
Among Oystermen to the Project.

An informal meeting of represen-
tatives of the State Board of Health,
local oystermen and citizens interested
in the proposed local sewerage plant
took place in the City Hall on Tues
day afternoon.
Leading oystermen with oyster
beds in Lakes Bay, presented their
objections to the bay as a disposal
point of the Sewage. Attorney Cou-
lomb represented them.
Engineers and local health officers
claim that with the equipped system
that would be employed in Pleasant
vile, the sewerage would pass thru
the several tanks and fltering pro-
cesses as to take from it any impurl-
ties that might endanger oysters in
the bay, but the baymen claim that
aside from injury to the oysters IN
the bay would be the sentiment
against the sale of their oysters be-
cause of the district in which they
would be grown after the inception of
the sewerage system.
While the meeting was informal 1t
is expected that the State Board at
ter having heard the arguments be-
fore them will make some recommen-
dation and should the recommendation
be against the local bay for a disposal
place of the final af1uent of the sew
erage the engineers for the local plant
would then arrange for another point
further off. The local health authori-
ties are very emphatic in making it
plain that they do not want to take
issue with the oystermen or do the
first thing that would be detrimental
to the local oyster business, but as
stated through their engineers they
are confident that the sewerage would
cause no actual harm to the oysters.
The oystermen, however, are dead
"sot' against the proposed dumping
locality and very quickly met togeth-
er and employed counsel to defeat the
project. ,.,
Frank B. Hubin, owner of Hubin's
Theatre, was present and made a fine
talk before the Board. If Pleasant
Vile don't get sewerage it will be no
fault of Hubin's, as he surely put it
up to the State Commission. Hubin
is certainly one worker for Pleasant
vile and is doing all he can to boom
and boost Pleasantville at all times
and make it one of the best towns in
the State of New Jersey.

Considerable excitement was caused
about $50 yesterday (Fridav) morn
ing, when someone discovered what
appeared to be smoke issuing from
the ave of Red Mems Hall neal the
chimney on the east side. The two
school classes on the second floor of
the building were hurriedly dismissed
and fremen proceeded to investigate.
After an exhaustive investigation the
"smoke" was found to be vapor caus-
ed by the wind blowing the rain drip
pings from the roof up over the caves.
1t had every appearance of smoke,
hence the alarm.
