Oh, | Don't Know
About These Men,
They Amt So Many

"Do you know" said a Grantwood
woman of well-known, high social
standing, that l cannot understand
why my sex picks itself to pieces 2"
what do you mean?" was asked.
Gust this: There is no woman who
will not gossip about other women"
"Why do you think so?"
Because l know it"
''But do not men talk about each
other the same way"
mo! a laundering no! You may
hear men talk about each other now
and then. But as a rule men do not
pick each other to pieces. Men may
gossip to their wives about men, but
to each other they rarely have any
comment to make about a neighbor
that is not favorable. Mark you,
know this; l have been watching this
tendency for the whole of my life,
and l am a grandmother. But women!
They never know any law of mercy,
and a beautiful woman should go al
ways with her head covered. She is
the target of all targets. If she be
a saint, and beautiful, it is all the
same. The mercy of my sex is i'm
possible of understanding"
"And you say men never talk about
women?"
"No, l never said that. They do,
but rarely to each other. Of course,
there are exceptions; but men are not
in our class as gossips."

The Edgewater
Borough Council

At Edgewater's Council Board
meeting last Tuesday night much i'm
portant business was done. Through
the good offices of the Libary Com
mission a gift of $4,000 for a new
Carnegie Library was reported
Coupled with this was condition
that the borough pledge themselves
to appropriate the sum of $4,000
yearly, forever, for the library's up
keep. The council at once appro-
priated $4,000 for the purchase of a
desirable plot.
The status of the Edgewater-C Cliff
side Park sewer outlet deadlock is
still in deadlock. The Corn Products
Company who originally constructed
the present box drain; who, in turn,
agreed to give up their right of way
to the borough OF Edgewater on con-
dition that they substitute a 72-inch
cast iron drain for the box drain; and
who, later, agreed to contribute from
$4,000 to $4,000 toward the expense
of the work, finally withdrew the
offer. Cliffside Park having in turn
bought the right of way for outlet
No. 10, Edgewater council on Tues
day night, stood pat on the PROPOSE
ton that the former shoulder prac-
tically the entire expense of build
ing the outlet, which would also ac-
commodate Edgewater's sewer dis
charge.
Objection was made to the bond of
borough collector Van Glider, and he
was requested to furnish a proper
bond before the next meeting.

Snow White Easter
In Palisade Section
Looked Like Christmas

Easter in Palisade came nearly to
being nipped in the bud by the terri
BILE snow storm that prevailed all of
Saturday, that night and bit of Sun
day morning. The Weather Bureau
man says only ten inches Of the fluffy
fluffy fell, but out here it was a
measured foot on the dead level, and
In places two and three feet deep in
drifts on the unlevel. Most people
got their walks cleared, however, in
time for church, so that before II
o'clock there was no difficulty in get
ting out very fair Easter crowd.
The Palisade Union Church had
been specially decorated for the occa-
sion, southern simlax being the med
lum, and it was very effective.
The pulpit end of the church and
the pulpit platform were artistically
wall in the rear bearing the informal
festooned in the simlaX, the center
suggestion of an Easter Cross about
fifteen or sixteen feet high, in the
center of which were clustered a
group of white lilies. The trailing
vines made an immediate appeal of
the spring suggestion, while a pro-
fusion of flowers were set on ped
estals among the palms which bank
ed the rear of the platform. There
was one large vase of pink snap
dragons, narcissi and sweet peas that
was wonderfully effective. AS a
whole the decorations were much ad-
mired.
Rev. Mr.. Erickson preached a
short, effective sermon on the efficacy
of walking with Christ, and the mean
ing of Easter. The music for the day
was very fine, the quartette choir,
Mrs. Middleton, Mrs. Holt, Mr.. Holt
and Mr.. Elsie presenting some very
lovely Easter songs that We're muell
appreciated.

roundly applauded, and she respond.
ed with an encore.
Mrs. Beatrice Zacharie, soprano
sang Puccini's Aria from la Bo.
heme," and also an aria from "Julcs
CESAR" by Handel, with two Other
songs, two encores, and all in al
quite captivated everybody with hel
exquisite singing. 1t cannot be sale
that she has a really great voice, bu,
1T is beautifully cultivated, and she
does pretty nearly what she please,
with it. 1t is very musical, and hel
execution brilliant beyond the ordi-
nary. She was applauded again anC
again, singing no less than six songs
for the evening, which shows the feel
ing impression she made.
One of the most enjoyable things
on the program saw the trio, cello
violin and piano, by Miss Gretchen
Sittig, violin, Master Hans Sittig
cello, and Mr.. Fred Sittig, piano. Lit
tie Gretchen looks about thirteen OF
fourteen, and plays the violin ex.
quisitely. She was the center of at
traction in the trio, and her grace
as we'll as her music was captivating
She yields beautiful bow, has q
fine conception of her music, plays
with a technique that is remarkable
and as tonalist is far ahead of MANY
adults. Hers was the true art, show
ing proper tutelage, proper capacity
and very proper and beautiful eXecu,
ton. In some of the passages of the
'Trio in G Major" by Hayden, the
little Miss was bewildering in the
exquisite results she produced. The
audience evinced very sincere APP
probation by more than liberal APP
plause The trio responded with an
encore, and then after the final num-
Der, prayer" by Schubert, which was
very daintily played, Miss Gretchen
played solo as an encore that came
from the depths of her soul, and quite
won all hearts.
There was dancing Immediately
following the concert, which was kept
up till late hour. The evening as a
whole was most enjoyable, one of the
best the club has ever given. The
ladies in charge of the decorations
secured a very pretty and attractive
effect by the use of southern smilax
festooned from the stage arch, over
the windows and entwined around the
columns. There was a profusion OF
flowers, narcissi, sweet peas, anC
snap-dragons. Mrs. Middleton, Mrs
Anderson, and Mrs. Carson were il
charge of this feature of the enter
tainment. The decorations were much
admired.

Palisade Woman's Club
Gives Fine Concert and Dance
Excellent Program Admirably Rendered. B,inqs Out
Large and AppreciatiUe Audience That GreatIu
Enjoys EUerything- Lively DANCING FOIlovs

The entertainment and dance giver
at the Public School by the Woman's
Club of Palisade on Wednesday even
ing last was more pronounced sue
cess, if anything, than the many sim
liar affairs that have preceded it
The program consisted of musical
numbers entirely, with two exceptions
one charming recitation of "The
Red Fam" a descriptive poem, by
young Miss Florence Lists, the Other
a number not on the printed program
an impromptu announcement by
young Randolph Brown. This latter
was most unexpected addition tC
the program, in which the enthusiast
tic young champion of the new boys
club in town, "The Triangles," ad-
vanced to the front of the stage and
addressed the very large audience
about the coming dance of his CLUB
The way Randolph put it, the real
high art attractions that were to come
Friday night in the way of new
dances, fancy dancers and "trots,
which he enumerated in side-splitting
fashion, left nothing unsaid and very
little to the imagination. That Ran
dolph made a hit no one will gainsay
His triumph was spontaneous.
Of the program itself, too much
cannot be said. 1t was refined and ar
tistic in every sense, such an array
of talent being most unusual in a vii
lage anywhere. Its arrangement did
credit to the ladies who prepared it
and secured such admirable perform
ers, for in reality the quality of the
evenings entertainment would have
graced Fifth avenue.
Mr.. A. c. Ballard played Kuss-
ner's "Allegretto Gazioso," a piano
solo, admirably, showing much ex-
preston and feeling. He received an
encore to which he responded. He
is promising player.
Mr.. J. Edmund Good, who has been
heard once before in Palisade, sang
two base solos. He has very cul-
tivated voice, showing careful train
ing. Not basso profundo, he at the
same time has rich, mellow tone
his lower register being particularly
musical. He sang "Blow, Blow, Thy
Wintry Winds" by Sergeant, and
"Three for jack" by Squire, besides
an encore ballad of much quality. No
number on the program gave greater
pleasure than Mr.. Goods.
Miss Florence Lists in "The Red
Fam" recitation, was very, very
clever. She is quite a young girl
still in her teens, and undoubtedly

Police of Two
Boroughs Get
Mrs. Jessen's Coal

Mrs. Sophie lessen, of Adolphus
avenue, is the owner of very inno-
cent looking pet goat. His goatship
has the freedom of the large grounds
about the house and ambles around
IN happy, care free way, stopping
to bleat at passersby in manner that
leads them to think that "his inno-
cence" is leading penitent life of
loneliness. A ragged Italian urchin
passed the lessen home one day last
week and his manly little heart was
stirred with pity for the captive pet
who bleated and cried in a most de-
ceptlve manner. Securing several
yards of clothes line the lad liberated
the goat from his captivity and made
spirited march to his home. Mrs
lessen soon missed her pet and tele-
phoned to the police of Cliffside and
f'airview to get her goat. The mes
sage which was probably interpreted
IN its slang phraseology confused the
peace officers and man was sent to
investigate.
Officers King, of Cliffside, and
h1rchhoft, OF FalrvieW, were picked
to do the sleuthing, and after long
search they found his goatship
serenely resting in the arms of the
italian lad perched atop one of the
garbage piles in the swamp along
the trolley below Walker street. The
poor lad was caressing his friend the
goat in the most affectionate manner,
promising him all kinds of good
things if he would cease his sad bleat-
ing. The two strong armed peace Of
ficers led the goat back to his arena
where he scamps with as much glee
as before.

"Seuen Sisters" Nullifed
By The Solons At Trenton
Last Of "Wilson's Hope" Gone
Savage Dig in the Ribs BY Republicans That Finds
Democrats Asleep at the SWitch, EUen Agne1U
Voting Amendment That Clips Wings
of Famous LalUs.

The hardest pill the Democrats
have had to swallow at this session
of the New Jersey legislature was
the passing of the amendments last
Tuesday to the "Seven Sisters" bill
that was made a law by President
Wilson while he was leaving the gov
errors office just before becoming
president. The Republicans have all
along said they would put crimp IN
that law when opportunity offered,
and they made good before anybody
thought they were even getting ready
for the slaughter. The old saying
that people are sometimes caught
mapping" was changed into con-
dition of Democratic apathy that
amounted to their being in a snore.
There were three amendments carried
which puts the kibosh to the "Seven
Sisters" and now there is loud re-
ioicing. If the amendments are at
last ratified, some of the teeth of the
old bill will be sawed down to the
edge of the gums.
Agnew Votes With Them
One of the bills was put through by
a bare thirty-one votes, and one OF
these was that of Assemblyman
James C. Agnew, of Hudson, who sue
ceeded Thomas F. Martin as minority
leader.
The bills which were fathered by
Senator Read, of Camden, majority
leader of the Upper House, have al
ready passed the Senate, so that they
now 90 to the Governor for his ap-
prevail. He has not publicly discussed
the measures as yet, and it is ques-
ton what he will do with them. Even
should he veto them it is possible
that the Republican majority In the
Legislature will pass them over his
veto.
Remove the Sting
Chief of the changes in the Seven
Sisters plan are amendments that re
move the personal guilt provision, anC
makes it possible only to bring actions
against corporations violating the law.
making such actions almost equivalent
to civil actions.
Another important change is tina,
regulating proof that the corporation
intended to do wrong restraining
trade by trust methods. In addition
to this it is set forth that the intent
must be Ito substantially lessen COM
petition, or create monopoly"
When the bills were moved on third
reading they were briefly explained
by members of the Camden County
delegation in the F,use, and not
Democratic voice was raised against
them, and it was long after they had
been passed that some of the Demo,
Gratis began to realize just what had
occurred.

A Return to Primal Wonder

"Silence came before creation, and
the heavens were spread without a
word" The stars and the sunshine,
the grass and the trees, the snow that
is sent like wool, the blessing Of soft
showers, all the lovely spectacle OF
the seasons, the dome Of the hills, the
curve Of the sea rim, were mans in
heritance before he builded cities and
made himself triumphant and ubi-
quitous.
\ or course, to say that God dwells
only on the hills or speaks with the
voice of many waters, to make Of
Nature worship denial of his habl-
tation in the human heart, denial
OF mans urgent need for the Pres
ence In the market place, would be
the merest folly. But, especially per-
haps In these latter days when we
speak OF 'lOve of nature" and know
SO little what that means, when neith-
er the scientific inquiry of the nat
uralistS nor the summer exodus
through the countryside In motor
cars Is enough to give the world again
the quick, poetic, instructive sense of
the divinity Of rocks and trees and
springing crops, we can more than
ever feel the need for q return to
primal wonder.
God will notspeak In the market till
he has whispered in the still places.
TO invest stocks and stones with the
incommunicable name is not an act
of childishness, but of the deepest
wisdom, the wisdom of the heart that
worships and is amazed, that recre-
ates In meditation the powers by
which men live.
In the fervor of our modern life. we
cannotreturnto Nature too intimate
ly We have as yet, in spite of our
pose, hardly begun that return. The
ancient nurse awaits our humbleness.

Magazine.
