lemon on the straw. cleaning with n

The lemon juice bleaches the straw

HERE'S another supply of wedding
IL rings, beginning with one con-
tributed, per note, by woman from
out of the friendly unknown:
Your article reminds me of what
an old lady friend told me of her
wedding ring.
"A few days after she was married
she was walking along country
road and gust of wind caught her
hat so she put up her hands TO catch
it and lost her wedding ring. 1t
couldn't be found, and years and
years afterward she heard of boy
trying to sell a wedding ring and
found her long!ost ring, which had
been turned up by a pillow in a field
beside the ROAD where she had lost it.

this"
THIS is telephone ring:

wife wrote me that she had lost hers

at me with:

her all right. I'd buy her one myself

type. and it brings one back to Mrs
Vernon Castle. who was the first to
adopt this couture.
The fashion designer says to the
pale thin woman of the hour: Dress up
to the type. Wear striking clothes.
Do not be a Jennie Wren. Accentuate
the thinness, the paleness. Exploit the
droop of the figure. the slope of the
shoulders Do not try to eat and grow
fat Do not try to get red in the
cheeks through exercise. Keep down
the blood pressure. Then we can dress
you as we dress no other type in the
world. For you we can design the
most amazing clothes and make you
the envy of all women who would for
get the flag of health which flies in
their face.
The young woman will willingly take
the designers advice; the older women
will be fearful of it. And yet if the
latter would succeed. they must make
the best of themselves according TO the
dictate of the dressmakers. They
must learn to be aware of their merits
and virtues. They must not conceal,
explain, nor be ashamed of them.
If they dress demurely, if they avoid
touch of rouge or powder, if they let
wispy hair hang Imply over white
face, if they put frills across the bust,
They are failures. They have lost
their chance.

And Catharine Sforza. who nodded

1t was probably in this peculiar field
of creativeress that Mrs. Vernon
Castle will go into social history, even
though her dancing was exquisite
The women in this class must have
been ready-made and waiting their
chance. for they swirled into promi-
hence the moment the model took its
place as the power in fashions, the
mold into which all young humanity
seemed to be poured.
Today they inherit the earth.
The designers of clothes encourage
this anemic type to make the best of
cosmetics. One quickly wonders why
they should use rouge if they are
avoiding the healthy look. This is too
exhaustive topic to discuss in a
clusion is that the French have taught
Americans that nature puts its color
in the wrong place and art remedies
this. Any French woman knows this
secret
The healthy woman cannot paste
white over her cheeks the anemic
type can leave her cheeks as they are
and put rouge on her lips, a tiny touch
on her chin. She gets color where it
gives her the best expression.
The French women insist they can
build up their faces to suit any type
of costume, provided they have thin,
white structure to work on, and as
color in the cheeks is almost unknown
to French women. they dominate fash
ion by their paleness. They use it as
foundation for cosmetics. and all the
reformers in the world will not wipe
out the widespread use of cosmetics
among the young women OF the hour
Pulpiteers like to limit this fault
to the rich and fashionable class, but
those who work for a living know
that rouge is the chief friend of the
| girl who is barely getting a living
| wage. She will buy it if she has to
go without chocolate cellars.
| The American woman does not use
, her makeup with the art and skill of

| toned anaemic type differs from the

turn herself into the dashing type ex-

women, led by Josephine de Beau

New Automobile Fire Engine for
New Hope

Early in December New Hope
Borough placed an order with the
Hahn Motor Truck and Wagon Co.,
of Hamburg Pa, for new Auto Fire
Engine. 500 gallons per minute ca
pacity and 2-35 gallons chemical
tanks.
The specifications call for a 6.cy-
Under Wisconsin Motor and Northern
rotary pump.
Delivery was promised in 100 days,
as this time has nearly expired the
committee having the matter in
charge would like to request that
all unpaid subscriptions be sent to
u. P. Borden, treasurer as soon as
possible.
The total cost of the apparatus is
to be $7,150 less an allowance of $500
for the old engine. So far there has
been collected about $3.50, leaving a
balance of about $500 and it is the
ambition of the committee to have
every cent necessary to make payment
in full when the new engine arrives.
There really should be an additional
amount collected to take care of ne
cessary expenses in operating and
caring for an apparatus of this type.

Candidate for Member of Congress

Oliver G. Holcombe, for six terms
member of the New Jersey House
of Assembly from Hunterdon County.
and active in many legislative en-
actments, announced his candidacy
for member of Congress from the
Fourth Congressional District, few
days ago. He will run in the Dem J.
cratic primaries upon, Personal
Liberty" platform, and is a staunch
support of Edward l. Edwards and
his politics.
Mr.. Holcombe was former mavor
of this city, and later, during his six
, terms in the Legislature, introduced
three different free bridge bills, the
ultimate outcome of which is that
Trenton and Lambertville are al
ready enjoying the blessings of free
crossings of the Delaware river. and
the other places soon will. He was
appointed by the Speaker of the
House to represent that branch of
the Legislature, together with Judge
James E. Minturn, from the Senate,
to investigate the riparian lands Of
the state; he served as chairman of
the railroads and canals committee
for year, and also of the fish and
game committee.
The voting machines were eiiminat-

Mr.. Holcombe, and he also put
through measure modifying the
freeholders' act, under which the
board in this county is now working.
He had the distinction of securing
passage through the House for all
the measures he introduced, not one
of them being killed in that body.
Mr.. Holcombe has resided al, his
life in and around this city, and was
defeated for the Congressional nomi-
nation two years ago by George D.
Vanderbilt, of Princeton, by small
margin. He was ill for some we sks
at the time, and unable to conduct
an active campaign.
Petitions are now being circulated
in the district by Mr.. Holcombe's
friends, who believe that Hunterdon
is entitled to the nomination this
year, and expect that their favorite
will make good run for the place.
Mr.. Holcombe says he is not can
didate for the city corhmissionership,
