BEAU BRUMMEL MAYOR
SHEDS COAT TO RUN CITY

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. 10.
Mayor Edward L. Bader, the local
Beau Brumpel, announced his con-
version to the rapidly growing shirt
sleeves movement and shed his coat
and vest as he began his official
day. The mayor asked for express
sions from the public on the pro-
priety of allowing policemen to dis
card their heavy coats while on
duty.
Personally I believe the police.
men should be allowed to wear a
summer costume which will enable
them to be as comfortable as pos
sible during the hot weather." the
mayor said. However, the public
takes pride in the police, and I
would hesitate to authorize such an
innovation II any considerable por.
ton of the population took the po-
sition that sucG q costume would
lessen the dignity Of the force"

NEW WORKING roma should
marry an artist until she has a
working interest In his life" says
Ethel Talbot Cohen, who gave up
her wi musical ambitions to fur
Their those of her husband.
Her statement is based on expe-
rience and observation. Her conten-
ton is that no painter, sculptor, mu-
stefan or other creative artist can
separate his life from hi3 art. and
unless a woman works along with
him, sooner or later she will lose
out in favor of his permanent mis-
tress- his art.
=" Love me, love my art Is the
artists unconscious credo." she ex-
plains. ut is the reason for the ar
tistic temperament blamed for so
many unhappy marriages among
professionals. 1t is not enough that
the wife Of an artist should under
stand him. She must understand his
work."
Her advice to the young and I'M
~suspectinS is that, If you haven't
this understanding, you will be much
happier married to a broker or a
banker.
1.-THE business man likes to get
away from his business" she went
or. cit is more of a grind. His
wife should make his home a heaven
from stock markets and financial
news.
at is much more important for
her to know how to dress attractive
ly and serve a good dinner than it Is
for her to speak the language of
Wall Street.
IAN artist, however, If he Is a
good one, always has his mind open
for an inspiration. He may do moth
ing all day, then find himself OBJ
sessed with a desire to work just at
the time his wife planned for him to
60 out to dinner with frienls or had
invited guests. 1t is up to her to
make the and smooth things
out.
"Unless she shares his enthusiasm
and his sympathies, she soon finds
this sort of thing i~ntolerable.'
Artist Herself
In her own life, Mrs. Cohen has
worked out the matter successfully.
A graduate from Trinity College in
England, and with a degree from
Cambridge, she came to this country
to seek musical recognition for her.
self.
she was one Of the first women to
play in q mixed orchestra. The man
who became her husband was play
ing there, too. After their marriage
he became the director for the Mis-
souri, Theater in st. Louis, one OF
the largest theaters in this country.
Then she lay aside her W ambi-
lions to help her husband realize
his. She has charge of the musical
library and selects the programs
and orchestrations for her husbands
orchestra. And he consults her re-
garding all policies,
"We're both working for the same

on the new frocks, but the back Is
the more favored location.
Circular flounces edge the long,
tight sleeves, or begin at the waist
line and work their sinuous trail
round and round the skirt in spiral
effect.
More popular than the pleated
skirt is the one with a pleated apron
in back or front, or on both sides.
Elbow sleeves, seldom seen, usually
have a wide pleated ruffle which
reaches to the wrist.
OF materials, velvet promises to
be the most popular, and it M in
printed and brocaded patterns as
well as plain, in all the known col
ors.
Double-faced satin crepes, of
heavy quality, are also expected to
be much sought after. Duvetyn and
the very soft finished woods come in
exceptionally lovely colors this fall.
Goats keep to a very slender out
line, but are by no e plain. Cir
cular flounces, wrap-around effects
and shawl draperies all markl the
new models and manage to look
quite different from the one you
bought last winter.
Suits have returned to favor and
we have the plain tailored model and
the fancy one to choose from de-
/ pending upon your figure and yous
! taste. Some of the fanciest ones art
of velvet and show a decided waist
line, with a flaring peplem.

set manufacturers say corsets arr

clare they will never wear them. So
there you are!

Laundering
Washes out the stains
along with the dirt

The action of DUE, while washingl
the clothes, is the same action you
get when the wash is put out IN the
sun to dry. Whether the clothes are
being washed in DUE or dried in the
sun, they are given a mild white
bleach. The method is both natural
and harmless. s
DUE also sterilizes - giving the
clothes that sweet, fresh-a air smell
which means real through and
through c~leanness.
For every kind of laundering
For the heavy family wash and for
dainty laundering as well, use DUE.
It can't injure the finest fabrics.
Heavy rubbing is unnecessary. Less
rinsing is sufficient. All stains except
rust, all yellowness, all the old, dingy
look, disappear never to return as
long as you wash with DUz.

Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-07-13

NLOTHES can now keep their just
~ like-new whiteness until they are
worn out. They need no longer turn
yellow after a few washings.
Ordinary methods-bar soaps, soap
fakes, soap powders-leave some de-
post of fat, resin, or waterglass on
the clothes. It won't all rinse out, and
this is what turns clothes yellow.
With DUE the clothes can't turn
yellow. DUE is a pure CASTLE soap
preparation containing nc resin or
w~aterglass. DUE goes into the clothes;
sends out the dirt; then rinses out
completely and quickly. Nothing is
left on the clothes to yellow them.
DUZ whitens the clothes
Just as the sun does
While DUE is washing out the dirt,
it also takes out the yellowness ac-
cumulated from past washings-and
removes all stains, except rust.
Yet DUE cannot injure either the
fabric or the skin.
