lays q wager that they won't. Fashion
is too powerful.
France began her plans to abandon
the sleeveless street frock in the month
OF June. The new gowns shown TO
Americans In August gave prominence
TO both long and short sleeves. but this
was merely another evidence Of the un-
certainty OF Paris in regard TO what
America would buy When a man or a
nation is trying to sell, variety is
essential.
AS for Paris herself. one could read
the verdict against short sleeves as a
sentence written on the wall. She was
tired of them. Nudity had found it's
end. IL was left to those who had be-
come suddenly rich enough to buy great
clothes without the knowledge Of when
and where they should be worn.
In September the American dress
makers offered the long sleeve. 1t was
more often refused than chosen. Hun
dreds looked at Il askance. They had
lust succeeded In cutting off their long
sleeves into bands that did not reach
the elbow Was this fashion offered TO

In November women still wore the
short severe sleeve in public, often with

strangely naked In contrast TO tho

but TO defy new fashions or take out the

OF the kind the midwinter sponsors.
There is nothing niggardly about
fashion in the bestowal of the long
sleeve. AS though it was making up for
taking away a comfortable fashion, al
belt an ugly one. in q short time she law
ishes a multitude of styles on the public.
All the ages preceding this offer their
quota of gorgeous sleeves. There is small
doubt that they are to figure as the
dominating and expensive feature Of new
frocks
Men in other ages considered their
arm covering as q thing OF vast impor-
lance. 1t has been used TO symbolic eras.
Therefore the museums are full Of ideas.
Even the home dressmaker. she who is
often evoked but rarely found. can get
her full OF inspiration from books.
There Is a feeling in the air that
enough handiworl1 will be employed on

cuse for the uplkeep of high prices II
we take our cue from Queen Elizabeth
and have seed pearls. a few diamonds,
gold threads and a ruby or two embla-

well go to the jewellers for our frocks.
That heavy embroidery precious pei
try, odd bits of skilful embroidery, the
conlnlingling of costly fabrics will soon
find their way into the sleeve of the
formal froclx seems to be a foregone
conclusion. And one other thing that
will be assured II the ornamental and
spreading arm covering Is to be reestab-
lished Is that the bodice will cling TO the
figure.
Throughout the centuries when the
dominant sleeve ruled the blouse or
bodice TO which Ii was attached was
not the broad, careless type which
hung on the figure with the case of a
mans shirt 1t was more formal eug-
gestive of corset and whalebone, even on
the men, and snugly held in the curves

CHARITY AND REFORM

No one on earth ever accomplish
ed such a work of reform as Jesus
Christ, and no one ever showed a
greater spirit of charity and con-
s~ideration. Even in the agony of
the cross he could say, Father,
forgive them. for they know not
what they do"
The two things go together. The
only reform that is supremely worth
while is the reform that carries
men with 1t because they know in
their heart that it is right and they
make it willingly for the sake of a
greater good. Jesus knew this. He
was the Good Shepherd who led his
sheep, as oriental shepherds do, not
a crude driver goading them.
There is a great work of reform
to be carried on now, a work 80
great and far-reaching that no one
can be sure exactly how to go about
it or what to begin with first. In
his heart of hearts every true mar
wants to see life made better for
all mankind. When he is sure OF
what should be done he will not
haggle much about his share of the
price.
The greater the work, the greater
the need for a steady head and the
charity of love that suffereth lons
and is kind-and thinketh no evil
Wholesale condemnation is out Of
place.
II great issues cannot be present
ed to a great people in a spirit o
right reason and mutual respect
democracy is not safe for the work
and Christianity is a failure.

SMIMMIN, HOLES

In these summer days few things
are more restful or refreshing than
a visit to the old swimming hole
and a plunge therein. Be it a dip
at a fancy bathing beach, a plunge
into the cool depths of the aban-
doned stone quarry, a bath in a
city-made, cement-lined tank, or
the simon-pure swim in the old
swimming hole in the "crick," one
energies the better for it. cleaner
in soul and in spirit. It's good for
man, woman and child.
Taking 1t by and large. though,
boys get more real pleasure out Of
a visit TO the old swimming hole
than they do from any other form
of summer amusement. No matter
IL there's a green scum on the
water; no matter If all the sanitary
laws in the book have been violated
swimming in the "crick" is a rite
and, for those who have faith,
there's little danger.
What man doesn't remember
those golden swimming days! Who
hasn't shivered in his nakedness for
a half-hour while he "chawed bull
beef" Who hasn't "hollered' low
bridge when the school ma'am or a
parcel of little girls came flower
picking through the woods! Who
hasn't held his nose with one hand
and uplifting the other allowed
himself TO sink to the clamshells 10
show a friend that 1t is 80 deep"
And who hasn't taken all the pre-
cautions known to youth when a
small boy to prevent being over
taken by cramps as he entered the
cold stream!
When one sees a kid holding up
two fingers that some other kid
may see-well, it's the swimmin
sign-and they should be hurried on
their way.

no PROHIBITION ISSUE

While there are many who think
hat prohibition will be the all i'm
portant factor in the coming cam
pnign there is nothing to show that
the liquor question Will cut much
of a figure in the coming struggle.
II is being realized hat as far as
prohibition is concerned it will
make no difference whether Cox or
Harding is elected. Only the vote
of three-fourths of the states fav-
orable to repeal the eighteenth
amendment can change the situa-
ton. and there seems little chance
of that ever happening. At the
same time neither Cox moi Harding
can expunge the eighteenth amend
ment.
With the liquor issue practically
ignored in the Republican and
Democratic platforms there Is
nothing to warrant a national cam
paign similar to the gubernatorial
slection New Jersey experienced
last fall.

QUIET SUNDAY HERE

Perth Amboyans were given a
good idea yesterday Of how much
the state bridge over the Raritan
river here means to the auto tour
ing public. Due to the closing OF
the span this city experienced the
novelty of having no traffic jam.
Business on the ferry to Tottenville
suffered accordingly. Metuchen. on
thu other hand. bore the brunt of
tie traffic, as all traffic from New
York. Newark and points north was
diverted over the new concrete road
from Railway to Metuchen.
1t was a good plan of the police
authorities to send traffic along
Froat street to Fayette. hence up
Fayette street to New Brunswick
avenue. and on to New Brunswick.
which route had been laid out for
tie trip to the shore. Ferry hill
was kept open at all times in this
way and motorists directed proper

BRIGHT BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Everywhere the landscape is
glorious with growing crops says
the New York Chamber of Com
merce. The outlook for wheat is
better thai in years and there will
be a heavy yield of oats and hay,
which means plenty Of feed for
cattle, hence encouraging news for
the meat industry.
While the nations harvest plays
an important part in the outlook
for a continuation of good times.
there are other encouraging pros
poets for business and commerce.
Take for instance the country's ex-
ports. During the last fiscal year
our export business amounted to
ss,111,ooo.oo0 an increase Of near
ly a billion over the previous year.
The imports were $5,2ss,ooo.o 900,
an increase of more than two bill
lions over the year before.
There are plenty of buyers in the
wholesale markets. reports show.
but the price situation Is not clearly
defined. Reports from throughout
the country show that progress in
business is largely contingent upon
the future course OF prices.
The fact that there Is little posi-
bfrity Of a general railroad strike Is
also having a stimulating effect on
business. The menace of a paraly-
sis of business is removed for the
present as the men are showing an
increased disposition to accept the
twenty-one per cent. advance IN
wages as awarded by the railroad
labor board. Steel makers also
look for normal shipping now that
the railway wages are settled.
According to mercantile reports
here is nothing to indicate curtaii-
aent in any line of business. Re-
all stores have a bright outlook
.e to the improved conditions in
&c Industrial world.
