of Ill luck and equivalent to d super

1t is commonly considered unlucky
for girl to marry a man whose sur

SILK is REPLACED

Becomes Standard Material.
The dominant thing that has been
done this season is to change jersey
from an unimpOrtant sport material
into an important standard material.
1t rivals serge and crepe de chine.
Strange to say. the silk weave Is alb
sent from the French gowns. and
gowns and suits of it are sold by the
American dressmakers at absurdly low
prices. as If they knew that Its doom

usually made in one piece, and all the

ers, country clothes and bcact. suits
are made by the hundreds in white
horizon blue, deep pink and gray
touched with blue and silver. This Is
an excellent idea, for the material does
not wrinkle, is easily cleaned OF
goes longer without ironing than any
other kind of fabric intended for con.
slant service.
Another segment of the wheel OF
fashion in which this wooden jersey
has appeared is the long cape gathered
to a slight yoke at the shoulders, with
Sits at each side for the arms and
finished at the top with an immense
handkerchief collar that fastens on
the left shoulder. These capes are
lined with brightly figured Chinese
and japanese silks.
Another distinct change in fashions
is the insistence upon capes instead
of topcoats. Nine Paquin and Nine.
Georgette wore these capes In Paris
all through the winter and fea-
tured them at the spring openings.
The house of Cheruit also turned out
Il goodly number Of them, with all
the peculiar tricks that belong to this
little group of designers.
The only tOpcoats that the smart
houses offer are for sport USE and
they are made of cOlored velveteen
and stockinet jersey in bold, gay de-
signs. For other hours and purposes,
the cape is offered instead of the top
coat. 1t is of serge lined with fig
ured crepe; 1t is of satin lined with
horizon blue or flamingo pink; it is
of Chinese blue wooden jersey lined
with gray; and it IS in gray lined with
pink, blue or yellow.
A woman will own as many capes
ut she once owned sweaters. They
not only appear as outdoor garments.
but as indoor accessories to house
gowns. They are also used for late
afternoon and evening wear, indoors,
and are of chiffon or net. They are
banded with bright materials in the
same color, they are lavishly embroid-
cred with beads, silk floss and bullion
threads, and again they are made of
chantilly, Spanish or filet lace, I'M
lined and ungirdled.
There is no limit set CN the usage
Of figured silk for Innings and facings,
and the capes offer excellent advan-
tages for this fashion. This trick new
er had such instant success as this
season.

COATS GIVE WAY TO CAPES
Women Are Not Expected to Accept
Argument That They Should Show
Patriotism by Buying No
New Clothes.

New York.-Despite the persuasion
pleading and argument of the hundreds
of women who have organized them
selves for preparedness to the effect
that women do not buy any more
clothes, but give this money to nation,
al defense, the process of arranging
new apparel to meet the season goes
steadily on.
Surely, the appeal of these women
must be based on ignorance of con-
ditiOns, for they have the welfare of
humanity In their hearts or they
would not organize into bands for civic
help; but to plead that no woman
should frown upon the pegtop and the
melon skirt because they are new
fashions and demand the purchasing
of new clothes, is to argue in way
that would take the very food out of
the mouths of millions of workers.
These women argue that we should
follow the example of France, Eng
land and Germany and that our wom-
en- should make a sacrifice of clothes
In Order to show their national spirit.
But why? The resources of France,
Germany and England We're needed for
war, which was sprung upon them
without any warning and found them
unprepared financially. This isn't a
Pigment of the Imagination, but the
statement of financiers and captains Of
industry.
Women Will Buy Clothes.
However, it takes very little argu-
ment to persuade women that their
national spirit should be shown In
spending their money on clothes, If
they have it to spend. Everybody Is
benefited all down the line, to the
little cash girl six years old the
sums Of the city, whose mon Y Is
needed to give more bread to her fam
lily. Therefore, accepting the fact that
me- fasnf0Hs win Be as p0pr r as
ever and that new clothes will spring
up afresh as the leaves on the trees
and the grass on the ground, it Is best
to content ourselves with telling what
1t Is wise to buy, rather than arguing
for and against buying.
A summary Of what is accepted may
be wise at this time. To begin with,
there never has been season when so
much wOrsted jersey was worn. The
doom of the average skirt and silk
sweater was struck when the fashion
able season at the winter resorts
opened on the first of the new year.
The one-piece frock of any material
superseded the other two garments in
combination.

Jewish Aid Society
Gets Aid In Palisade

New York, Feb. 6.-Palisade is
doing it's share toward relieving the
distress of the war sufferers. Mr..
Samuel S. Wilmer and Mr.. /. Fried
lander, of Palisade, have contributed
to the War Relief Fund inaugurated
by the American Jewish Relief Com
mittee, Of which Louis Marshall is
chairman and Cyrus L. Sulzberger,
secretary.
The American Jewish Relief Com
mittee has inaugurated $10,000,000
fund, for war sufferers. Never in
the history Of relief work, has move
ment of such magnitude been under
taken. The untold suffering, the dire
distress and misery of the European
war victims, have made this move
ment necessity.
Every community throughout the
United States is enthusiastically re-
spending to the appeal for funds;
still, if the $10,000,00 is to be real
lied, the good work must be continued
during the year 1917.

Fort Lee High School

Continued from page y
ing the hiring of teachers, for high
school to begin two or three weeks
later-in September.
The school was accordingly begun
in the fall in part of the grammar
school building in Fort Lee, but the
citizens of Palisade, declaring that no
high school SO hastily established
could be proper and adequate one,
and denying the right Of the board to
take such summary action without
any public meeting, or public action
of any sort, sent their children to
Englewood High School. The Fort
Lee board refuses to pay for any out
side tuition, as they had formerly done,
claiming that high school had been
established in their own district and
that any one residing in the borough
would have to accept that.
The Palisade taxpayers appealed to
the State Board of Education, and
Assistant Commissioner of Education
Meredith replied that the Fort Lee
board had acted without consulting
the State Board. He later reported
adversely on the approval of the
oCHOOl Wutu lie ADVISORY committee
of the State Board summoned the
Fort Lee board before it to show
causes why the school had been estab-
lished.
President Kaufer, of the local board
declared that County Superintendent
Wooster had given permission to es-
tablish the high school, but Mr..
Wooster vehemently denied it. DR..
Van Dyke, chairman of the advisory
committee, asked why Fort Lee
thought it necessary to have high
school when it was sending it's pupils
to Leonia close by, and Mr.. Kaufer
asserted it was because Leonia dis
eliminated against Fort Lee socially.
Members of the advisory committee
were opposed to granting approval of
the high school, but the matter was
taken out of the hands Of the COM
mittee and last Saturday was APP
pointed for a hearing before the full
board. Representatives of Leonia
High School appeared and protested
against having a high school estab-
lished so close by, thus taking away
many Of their pupils.

Why not Try Prayer or Petition?

WHY uOt lIy .IIdytI VI cIlIIOu!
The neglect of the Public Service
Corporation to stop on Bergen boule-
ward to take on passengers to Engle-
wood is not advantageous to West
Palisade, but is a positive detriment
to the place. If they were to omit
the Anderson avenue stop and SUBJ
stitute this one, no one would be in
convenienced in Palisade, but we
would be immensely benefited here.
They do this on Sundays, why not
on week days?
They have been good enough to
promise us a site for a shelter at the
car stop. This other little favor
would make US very grateful to them.
Of course we must do our part and
provide funds to erect the shelter.
This many have pledged themselves
to do, but there is still small de-
ficiency to provide for, and then the
shelter can be built.
