A WOMAN'S REPUTATION.
20 fear not in a. world like this,
And thou shalt know ere long,
Know how sublime a thing it Is,
To suffer and be strong"

It is the notion Of many young
women that after marriage she may
| do as she pleases. "A single girl may
not do this or that without causing
the world and his wife to raise their
| eyebrows and frown her down. If she
has Mrs tackled before her name
that is quite another matter. She be-
lieves she may entertain her old beaux
with impunitys AS long as her hus-
band does not Object if she dimes with
this one, attends the theatre with that
one, when his business prevents his
taking her. it is none Off the business
of the world and his wife. They can
look on or look out, just as they
please. She can even flirt outrage
ously at ball with some gallant army
man, or accept invitations often from
her good-looking single family doctor
for a spin through the park afternoons
in his spick and span new automobile,
without causing comment. The young
professor Of music, an acknowledged
| male heart-bfeaker, she has no hest
fancy in inviting to dine every other
evening to make the dinner hour pleas
ant when her husband cannot be pres
ent. She thinks there is no latitude to
her freedom of speech, OR following
her own inclination after wedlock.
Such wife wakes up with a sudden
jolt. She discovers to her dismay that
people are Of the opinion that she
should let her old lovers aloT - to go
their way and find other sweeShearts
after she has become a welded wife
and selected one from among all 9TH
ers. Nor is she expected to make
practice of riding with single men,
dining or attending dinners or the
aires with them if she would keep her
reputation untarnished. If her hus-
band cannot accompany her, there are
always elderly women friends whom
she can fall back on for that purpose.
Single men are expected to devote
themselves to single women, not to
married ones Even the men who are
favored with the smiles and compan-
ionship of married women are puzzled
to know just how to place them
whether they are merely innocent
frivolous women or women who might
be reckless with friendship.
Every one loves the woman that is
brlbb!ing over with joy and good hui
NOR. But every one secretly holds to
the notion that her smiles, blandish-
ments and coquetry should be reserved
for her husband, not for other men.
The fairest Of regulations can be
smirched by breath. One little sus-
picion may, like a SNOWFALL, become
huge as it rolls along. The wife finds
herself talked about, though she
meant no harm. Even though mar
ried. a woman may not do as she
pleases. She still has her reputation
to guard quite as much as If she were

Are jist as purity in their way
AS what they be in June or May.

An thrill as much of joy an rhyme,

Bergen Mayors
To Giue Dinner,
Ladies. To Attend

At the recent meeting of the
Eastern Bergen County Improvement
Association at Tenafy the Dinner
Committee, of which Mayor John G.
Ropes, of Englewood Cliffs, is chair
man, reported such progress in ar
rangements for the affair as to assure
a remarkable success.
1t was formally decided to have the
affair on the evening of Saturday,
June "a, and that the wives and
sweethearts of the mayors and coun-
cilmen and their friends should be
invited to participate in the festivi-
ties. This in itself is a notable in
novation for it has not been the Gus
tom in Bergen county to have the
ladies participate in public dinners.
1t is regarded as recognition of the
change in the political conditions that
is rapidly coming. Besides that,
every member of the committee was
in favor of having his women folk
enjoy the treat which is in store for
those who are fortunate enough to
attend the dinner.
1t was also decided to have the
dinner start promptly at $50 o'clock
so that the speaking will be over in
time for dancing by those whowish to
do 81. There will be vocal and instru-
mental music during the dinner, and
fine music for the dancing later. A
quartette of noted singers will render
popular songs.-Record.

it was found necessary to take him

But the boys condition became
worse and soon developed into in

his death. Burial services were held
from St. Johns Church, Fairview,

Mrs. Coulter Visits

Mrs. Jane E. Coulter, acting prin-

visit to her home in Toronto, Canada,
on Wednesday of last week to attend
the funeral of her uncle. Mrs. Coul-
ter found the Canadian city full of
soldiers; soldiers of every age and
condition. Practically the entire
eligible manhood of the city was in
uniform. The American Legion had
just left the day before for the
Niagara Camp in Queens Park, Uni
versity Campus. Legally, there is
not CONSUMPTION in Canada, but there
is moral CONSUMPTION, and every able
bodied man is sought after to impress
him into the service. Travellers cross
ing the boundary are questioned and
examined infinitely as to their identity
and business.
Mrs. Coulter returned to her home
on Saturday arriving at ten o'clock
in the evening.

Telephone Folks
Hold Big Dime,

Englewood district telephone men
were among the 5000 who attended
the annual dinner of the Telephone
Society, of New York, on Friday
night, May 10, in the Seventy-frst
Regiment Armory, New York City.
The local party included Edward
Blessing, Bert Cummings, C. S. Davis,
Walter Studt, Chas. Freeman, VIM.
Smith, H. Bell, P. Nancy, w. w.
Thompson.
The dinner was one of the most re-
this country. The 5000 telephone
men in the big drill shed of the
militia armory were joined by tele-
phone with 5000 other telephone
men in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and
San Francisco. Each of the $500
diners had hand telephone receiver
permitting him to participate in the
demonstration of wire and wireless
telephony.
Mr.. H. Bell, Commercial Manager
of the Telephone Company at Engle-
wood in the course of an interview
with a "Palisadian" representative,
said that the exploits with the two
forms of communication followed each
other at the dinner with such rapidity
and were intermingled with so many
other features, that most of the
diners felt bewildered. "To realize
the significance of what was transpir-
ing was practically out of the ques-
tion," he said. "The small boy who
got lock jaw from gaping at the first
circus elephant he ever saw, could
have found many kindred souls in the
big audience in New York, and have
no doubt that many of the men at
the other dinners felt the same way.
During the demonstration of the
wire telephon, the voice was carried
from New York to the four corners
Of the country. Greetings were ex-
changed with men in many of the
principal cities in the nation and it
was all done So easily as to almost
palsy the imagination"

ready for days run and spent over
an hour trying to start his car.
Nothing budged. Engine just
wouldn't start. Then an appeal was
made to Gus Neumann, after the
magnetic was looked over the car
buretter examined and everything
else tried that could be thought of
Gus listened patiently, then asked:
"HoW's YOUR engine oil?"
20 IT, pr up to the top this
well, let out a couple of quarts,
then open the pet cock of your car
buretter. Guess you'll find you've
got water in your carburetter."
"And I'll be hanged if she didn't
go off like top when l had dripped
a pint of water out of the car
buretter," said the Palisadian. Call
up Gus when in trouble.
