In Rhymina Mood.

In Rhyming Mood.
-"Englewood and Tenafly!' called
out the trolley conductor in Edgewater
as the passengers were emerging slow
ly from the quintette of turnstiles,
"Englewood and Tenaflyr'
LET 'er fly!'' replied a passenger as
he touched the step of the car.
xiii fly !" replied the conductor in
good natured railery, keeping up the
rhyme.
"Bye and bye!' sang out another
passenger.
''Wink your eye!" said another.
apple pie!" called little boy.
"Englewood and Tenaf1y" once
more sang out the conductor as he
jumped up and pulled the bell rope.
"All aboard!" And the fun was over.
Miss Reeds Singing.
Miss Reed, who sings at the Pali-
SADIE Church occasionally, displays a
very refined taste in her selections.
Generally she picks out well COM
posed hymn, the music of WHICH is
good, and sings it instead of classical
selection. She has clear, sweet toned
voice, almost velvety, and sings with
out affectation. Her style is simple
and she sings always in perfect key,
no mean accomplishment of itself. She
is not fiorid singer, but renders each
note with a smoothness that makes
her work very acceptable and pleasant
to hear.
Special Notice.
The editor of the "VG' column
would be glad to have all residents
send in notes of local happenings, per-
sonals, ETC. The favor would be great
ly appreciated. Information of this
character should not be sent in later
than Thursday night before 8 o'clock.
There was little imprOmptu young
peoples party at the Palisade Church
last Wednesday night, some 16 couples
being present All the younger set in
have the affair at the public school,
but application to Superintendent
Chase brought refusal The young
people wanted to dance, which they
could not do in the church. According
to the views of a Palisadian, Superin-
tendent Chase must have mistaken
idea of the rights of the residents of
legitimate purposes. This is in accord
ance with the laws of the state of New
Jersey. .All public schools are to be
used at will by residents so long as
they do not abuse the privileges. Will
Superintendent Chase explain? This
party of young people was duly chap
erOned by local matrons.
Many fine things have been said
about the remarkable funeral address
over the body of the late John A.
LeCato by Rev. Marshall F. Montgom-
cry. 1t was one of those wonderful in
SEPARATIONS one hears so seldom that
they make deep impression. The
speaker was wholly unpretentious in
his theme, which was one on the beau
ties of death, its naturalness, it's spirit
ual side, it's new life side, all sides of
death, making it thing not to be
feared or dreaded, because it was
natural phenomenon. The address was
full of poetic imagery and most I'M
usual treatment of the subject, clean,
tender, rythmical and full of the soul
that makes for majesty of thought at
it's heights.
Here's hoping that every Palisade
boy comes back home better man
than he went away. Anyhow, every
mothers son of them will be loved by
this community and command the re-
spect of every decent person here
abouts for the rest of their lives.
An occasional airplane drifts over
Palisade from Hampstead, L. I. No
body ever gets tired looking at an.air-
ship or airplane. These wonderful
craft certainly put man out of his ele-
ment, but the day of perfection in them
is not yet arrived, though coming fast.
AS the days pass and realization
of the wars being really over, we come
to feel that it was necessary to purify
the world. 1t would be difficult to
prove that it has not done this.
Clarence Hunicke was not sailor
long enough to get fully acquainted
with the joy of serving ones country
in war. 1t was all over too soon.
Anderson avenue has not worn at all
well, and may now be put in the class
