AN RENOVATION IN. VEST EFFECTS.

The one-piece frock has been called
the frst-aid to the we'll dressed wo-
mans wardrobe, and certainly it finds
a conspicuous place among the modes
for Fall Checks and small plaids con
tinue in fashionable request for these
dresses. with trimmings of plain silk
and velvet to enhance their daintiness
The touch of novelty which this model
boasts Is achieved through the vest,
which is continued down onto the skirt
in a pointed section and trimmed with
buttons of velvet The front cores of
the three piece skirt are perforated to
be cut away for the insertion of this
pointed section, but if preferred, the
front lap may be continued in
straight line to the top of the skirt, and
the pointed section cut away from the
vest.

The back gore is placed on the fold of
material first, in cutting the dress and
contrary to usual custom the lower
e6Re of the cores is placed nearest the
crosswise edge Of the goods-that is,
at the very beginning after the material
has been folded in half. The front gore
reverses this position and has the

To the right of the front gore, and on

In the lines of one piece frocks, but

SHE'S NOT RUNNING
AFTER HIM
Dear Miss Libbey;.

Dear Miss Libbey:-
Please advise your reader. - a girl
Of Is, loved young man of 20 a year
and a half. Lately he's Indifferent to
me. I told him Twas to go automo-
billing with g, young man and girl. Did
this make him angry? Summers he
don't come Sundays, as he's a must
cian- Asks me to go where he plays.
I told him: do not know where
young men are to take u.s." Replied:
It's not where they want to take you,
but where I want you to be taken!"
Had he a right to say so I love him;
cannot give up hope of him. I 'phoned
but he did not guess whom it was. His
letters, post cards, show he loves me.
1 won't ask if he yet loves me, lest
he thinks L am running after him.
Thanks.

AS you are not engaged you cannot
be expected not to go with others Of
ten. He did not mean he had a right
to say what seems important to you.
When he has time you will understand
him better. He will admire you all the
better for not. running after him

TWINS ENGAGED.

Dear Miss Libbey:-
: We want your advice, please. We
are twin sisters, love each other dear
1y 16 years old; go with fellows rs and
% years old. Are we too young to
keep company? They say they love
US. We do them. They ask us to ex-
change pictures. Is it proper to ex-
change them ere we are engaged? Pa
rents object to our going with boys so
old. Do you think this right? They
take US to car rides evenings. Ought
we to go car riding without chaper-
ones? One of us is engaged to mary
this fall. What kind of wedding
gown is suitable this time of year?
T.
You are both very young to become
engaged and know your own minds.
No doubt you believe in the worthi-
ness and goodness Of the young men.
Paretns have your interest at heart.
Try your best to convince them of the
wisdom of your choice before you wed.
Any simple white dress is suitable for
a wedding gown this fall.

OHILDREN's GARDENS.

The child garden movement that
has been started in so many places
was for a time something of a joke
The children may have planted the
vegetables and flowers. But the par
ents bought the fertilizer. had the
ground spaded up, and were apt to
do most of the wedding AfterWard
they were supposed to pay the young
sters for the vegetables thus produced
Long lists of prizes awarded to
children for garden work are now
appearing in many Of the newspapers,
One such list now at hand names one
child of four as receiving a prize for
several varieties OF flowers.
An agricultural college expert a
few days ago went through the chill
dren's gardens in a town Of some T.
900 people. He gave a hasty glance
to perhaps half the plots, and re-
marked that those he had seen con-
tanned products worth at least ST.
900. Evidently when the fall haF-
vest is completed, these youngsters
had added several thousand dollars
to the wealth of that town. 1t was
done out of time previously spent at
aimless plays. 1t is a joke no longer.
The American boy is not trained to
work. He resents regular tasks. If
compelled to hoe up weeds while
hearing the yells of the neighbOrhood
boys over in a back lot, his soul re-
volts at the gross injustice of the
world, and the sheartless cruelty Of
parents.
But the modern American child is
pretty mature little creature. He
is perfectly capable of raising a
profitable garden if he wants to-
There are a good many boys today

and school prizes for amounts Of
vegetables raised the past summer
running up into the hundreds of dol
lars.
The garden movement has made
much better progress since the gov
eminent and state experts conceived
the idea of organizing the young
sters into clubs. A boy does what
his gang does. If his mates decide
that raising the biggest pumpkin is
just as good fun as knocking the
longest three Dagger, he wants to
take a hand in the game.

Pigeons and SQUADS

squads you will be glad to know that
they are, at present very plentiful and
cheap, q, fine pair selling for so cents,
which is really not as high piece
of roast beef or a good steak. Smaller
birds may be had for even less, so it
will not seem an extravaganza to re-
gale the family now and then, with a
dish of ported pigeons or a SQUAD
pie.
Pigeons are not so desirable as
squads, they being older and more
muscular, consequently less tender,
but a very good dish may be made
from them if one cooks and prepares
it properly.

Fish Pie

Take one pound of cooked fish,

at the bottom of the dish; then a
layer of white sauce, some minced
onion; then a layer of bread crumbs.
Season and repeat until the dish is full.
Add bits of butter on the top layer of
bread crumbs; bake about 20 to %
minutes. Serve very hot. If salmon
or mackereI are used, omit the minced
onion.

Appointments May
Be ThreShed out in
Caucus This Week
MAYOR AND NEW CITY COUNCIL
MAY GET TOGETHER TO
MAKE CHOICES.

There is a probability that the new
city council and mayor will meet
some time during this week in cau-
Gus to thresh out the matter Of the
appointment OF new city officers. 1t
has been the established custom for
such a caucus to be held just prior
to the beginning of new administra.
ton. The council will await the call
Of Mayor elect Best and that call has
not yet been issued 1t is possible
the caucus may be deferred until the
first part of next week
There are a number of positions to
be filled by appointment. notably
that of chief of police, city attorney.
city recorder, city physician. city en-
gineer and street commissioer. There
is hardly a position that has not seN-
eral aspirants and there is great
deal of speculation as to the result
Of the caucus.
The general opinion seems to pre-
vail that T, b. Gurdane, chief of po-
lice under the administrations ot
Mayors Fee and Murphy will secure
the berth again 1t has been under
stood that he is the personal choice
of the new mayor and, while the ma
jority of the council are friendly to
Alex Manning, the present incumbent
it is doubtful whether they will pre-
cipitate a fight over the office.
A good deal of interest has been
aroused over the city attorneyship.
The names of Alger Fee, w. NJ. Pc
terson. Roy Raley and Charles II.
Carter, the present incumbent, are
prominently mentioned Mayor Best
is said to favor one Of the three first
mentioned while different members Of
the council are inclined toward re-
tanning Mr Carter The position IS
considered an important one during
the next two years because Of the
many Improvement liens that must be
foreclosed.
The prevailing opinion seems to be
that Thos Fitz Gerald will continue
as city recorder though Joe II.
Parkes. NJ A. Ferguson ]. Il, Beam.
John Haley Jr., and f. f. Van Du-
sen have been nown to entertain
hopes of landing the job.
In all likelihood there will be a
change in the office of city physician
and City Engineer Kimbrell is said
to be in danger of losing his position
