MODISH EASTER MAIDS
IN GAY SPRING CLOTHES
BY Margaret Robe

Written for the United Press)
NEW YORK, April s. Some
Spring hats early gin to sprout and
February brings some out but Casters
the official day when in full bloom
they come to stay and every head
that bows in prayer is sure a chic
chapeau to wear. If skys are blue
and sun ashine the church parade is
something fine and latest hints from
Paris vie with home grown garments
and they tie. This years parade is
sure to be more colorful than all to
see and Easter eggs, all hectic dyed,
will look quite wan when side by side
with maid or matron on display in
latest mode for Easter day.
For colors vivid and bizaare it is
decreed that we must wear and glitt'-
ring shiny things as well and SO the
modish Easter belle will gleam and
glisten, glow and CLINT till ardent
eyes will have to squint, of Easter
hims, / do avera who gaze adoringly
at her. Oilcloth and lacquered stuff
are fine to give them necessary shine,
metallic fabrics, jet and beads and
now to meet these shiny needs they're

dressing jackets which happy young
mothers wore round their shoulders.
Princess Marie Louise, president of
the Ladies' Association, received Mrs.
Davis wife of the American Ambassa-
dor, and rendered thanks for the splen-
die work done. Together they went
up and inspected the ward, passing
from cot to coty murmuring baby lam
guage to each tiny inmate, here strok
ing the downy hair Of a five-days-old
babe, and there fondling the tiny
crumpler fist of little maid of thirty
six hours.
Princesses and ambassadors were
forgot. The women assembled in
that ward were just mothers, and no.
thing else counted. With sublime in
difference the babes slept on, or else
gazing into space, disregarded the fact
that princess and the highest Ameri-
can lady in England were there at
their beck and call.
In short speech expressing graft
tude for the equipment of the war
Lady Barrett, NJ. d., said that Ameri-
can women had a wonderful facility
for getting things done" They de-
cided TO do a thing today and it was
done tomorrow. She recalled the
days Of the war, when wiseacres and
greybearjs were arguing as to weth-
Ell or not there We're any war babies.
Certainly there were hundreds of ba.
bies, and whether or not the young
mothers were married those babies
needed care and tending. They were
all soldiers babies, and that fact was
sufficient to cause American women
to cut all red tape and "get going"
1t was not very long before they had
fullystaffed and fully equipped ward
ready for the reception of the girl
mothers.
Lady Barrett also pointed out that
the American women did not intend
their good services to end there with
the equipment of the ward. An ar
rangement had been made whereby
each young mother, on leaving the
hospital, would have some one of the
American women to call "friend" and
the American woman who had thus
befriended her would help her through
many difficulties on her return to
home life.

today by leading member of the
American Chemical Society, who said
a section of the leather industry will
be organized as one of the first acts
of the society at its convention here

While no details of the process was
given out, it was said the new de-
parture will produce much cheaper
shoes than those now on the market,
as experts are now looking every

New processes for preparation OF

cidents in connection with the murder
last week of Nicholson have set
Frenso aflutter with gossip.
Marion E. Pittman killed Nicholson
in the Pittman home here on March
2S. Mrs. Pittman was present when
her husband pumped four bullets in
to Nicholsons body.
"He broke up my home," Pittman
declared.
While Attorney Ernest Klette, who
VIII defend Pittman, will say nothing
further than valuable material has
been gathered for the defense" it is
known that an inquiry is under way
into Nicholson's alleged "affairs"
with a number of other Frenso wo-
men, some of them married.
Nicholson was wealthy bachelor.
A brother and sister live in Oakland.
Mrs. Laura Pittman, wife of the slay-
-er, is the daughter of a pioneer
Frenso family. She met Nicholson
several years ago while she was liv-
ing with an aunt, before her mar
riage to Pittman.
Pittman has been a clerk in a hard
ware store for six years. He has
never taken vacation in that time.
Often he has worked nights to earn
money with which to build his home
His suspicious had been aroused,
Pittman said, and he hid himself in
the attic of his house. the entrance
of which was over the kitchen door.
This was on the day preceding the

responding when he passed the house
and sounded the horn of his auto
mobile.
The next day the husband again
secreted himself in the attic. Nichol-
son appeared shortly at the rear door,
Pittman said, and Immediately COM
menced censuring his wife for not
having answered the telephone.
What transpired just before the
shooting Pittman would not discuss
From his position in the attic, he de-
clareda he could peer through a hole
and look into the room where his
wife and Nicholson were.
Pittman dropped from his hiding
place and shot Nicholson as he stood
near Mrs. Pittman close to bed
room door.
Breaking" his revolver, Pittman
reloaded the weapon, and climbed in :
to his automobile, after calmly tell
ing carpenters at work near by to-
call the police-that he was on his
way to surrender. An hour later hee
walked into the Jail and gave himself
up.
Eleven women appeared the day of
Nicholson's funeral and wept-sev-
eral of them hysterically--over the
body. Five of them returned to the
undertaking rooms three times to-
view the body. They were not related
to Nicholson.
In Nicholson's room police found a
number of photographs of women and
several bundles of letters, most of
them postmarked "Frenso" and in
feminine handwriting.
Pittman is to be arranged soon fol
preliminary hearing.
Meanwhile Frenso is talking.

a tent in a cornfieeld opposite dupont
School No. l. Carneys Point, in the sum-
mer of 1915. a chapel was built dur
ing the autumn on Maple Avenue be
side the present Church.
The name, The Church Of Our Mer-
cifui Saviour" was used because it was
the name of the Church in Wisconsin
of which Rev. Paul Matthews, D. D.,
was rector of when he became bishop
of New Jersey. The corner stone was
laid June 26. 1917.
The Church base is that Of a recline
across with one arm missing and is old
English gothic style, extending east
and west as was the style in the thir-
tenth century among the Druids. The
base of stone structure with hallow
tile covered with white stucco finished
rough cast. Indiana limestone is for
the trimmings. Following an ancient
custom the chancel faces east toward
the rising sun, The nave is fanked by
columns supporting Gothic arches and
secrestory. as shown in the above
illustration.
The new Church with its beautiful art
glass windows has been richly finished
as a memorial to the dupont family.
The altar was given in the name of the
late Francis G.. dupont, who was the
first superintendent at the Carneys
Point Powder Works and a Christian
gentleman held in high esteem by the
workmen and all who knew him. 1t
was during his management the first
smokeless powder was made.
