PERSONALITY POINTERS

Not only does the eye relate more closely to the soul than
any other organ, but it also reflects more accurately than any
other feature the mental temperament.
There are three general forms Of the eye; the large and
round, the narrow and elongated, and the obique. These
forms are often exaggerated, which is a sure sign Of exag-
GRAFTON in the individual.
Eyes greatly exaggerated in size denote words, words,
words. A very small eye shows seeretiveness.
AS to the color Of the eyes, gray eyes are supposed to be-
long to the cleverest people. The gray eye is a sign OF
s~hrewdness and talent. In women it indicates a better head
than heart. The owner of the gray eyes is upright, eonsclen-
tious and Godfearing.
Blue eyes have a softer, more tender gaze and indicate a
tender heart and calm intelligence. Blue-eyed women are u.s.
ualy better tempered than the black-eyed type.
Hazeleyed women are generally speaking, extremely 10y
al. particularly in love affairs. Some writer has said, "A
woman with a hazel eye never elopes from her husband, never
chats scandal, prefers her husbands comfort to her own, never
talks too much or too little, always is an intellectual, agree
able and lovely creature
Black eyes are of several kinds. There is the small, bril-
liant, hard black eye which looks like a bead. The woman
possessing this kind Of eye is incapable. of deep suffering.
The glowing, cavernous black eye, hot with smouldering hres,
indicates jealousy. A woman of this type is either bllsstui-
ly happy or madly suspicious and jealous. The large, hney
formed black eye, full passion, thoughtful and intellectual is
the most beautiful perhaps and the most dangerous OF all.

Sister Mary Tells
How To Make
MadeP ickles

The thrifty housekeeper will make
her own pickles. In winter and
spring good homemade pickles
stimulate many a jaded appetite and
help take the place of a formal APP
petizer. Gherkins are expensive to
buy when put up but not out Of
reach for most pocketbooks during
the picking season. They are deli
cious to serve with sandwiches for a
Sunday night lunch. The midgets
can be used with afternoon tea sand
witches.
Gherkins
One hundred small cueumbers, 2
quarts boiling water, 2 cups salt, /

"Added Achievements"

'Added achievements"
A woman candidate for an impor-
tant public office recently created a
nine-minute sensation by announcing
her age at the outset of a campaign
| speech.
I'm thirty9six," she said. II have
! no hesitancy in telling my age be-
cause | think you voters ought to
know it.
THE day when a woman was fussy
about telling her age after sixteen is
past. That is n relic of the time
| when marriage was the only career
a could have, and when peo-
pie ridiculously assumed that IL one
| didn't marry it was because no man
would have her.
THAT time is past. Added years
now means added achievement. No
woman should be ashamed Of her
age IL the years have not been vast
ed.
The speech made a tremendous hit
with both men and women. Added
years mean added achievement is a
happy sort of doctrine to spread
| around. When men fall In love with
women's minds as well as with tn >ir
bodies, there will be a lot less silly
pOiiitI dDOul d6Cos IoA oAbCt 2'A'
age is only a matter of time-a cir
| cumstance over which no n has
| any control.
Mary Gardens advice to SAY
thirty-nine and smile brazenly" is on
| the whole a worthwhile hint. Who
ever accused the tempestuous but
| competent Mary of remaining un-
wed because no man would have
her?
War draft figures showed that men
are not exempt from hesitancy to tell
their correct age.
Many a chap had to do some tall
explaining to his Uncle Samuel be-
cause the birth register in his home
town didn't tally with the years he
preferred to announce.
After all, years have little to do
with a woman's beauty. 1t is happi-
ness which comes from s~elf-expres-
sion that makes her attractive.

METUCHEN, July 2s.-Mrs. Char
les A. Priekett, president of the third
Congressional District Federation OF
Woman's Clubs is effectively leading
the movement against the use of
Jones venue as the main thorough
fare for the proposed bridge between
Highland Park and New Brunswick
In order to preserve the historical
site OF the New Jersey College for
Women. Petitions were circulated
among the state highway commits
sioners by the various women's clubs
Of the state, individually and collec-
lively, urging the abandonment OF
the proposed bridge. Mrs. Prickett
also communicated with the state
highway commissioners individually
with most encouraging responses.
state Highway Commissioners
Walter Kidde and Abraham Jelin as
sured Mrs. Prickett that they have
deep concern for the Women's Col
iege and that their aims were to CO.
operate with the college heads to
preserve the present beauties of the
institution. They further stated that
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-07-28

every consideration is being given
the plan by the state highway board
and that conferences In that direction
are to be held with college trus-
tees.
The State Highway Commission Is
apparently swayed to the sidesof the
women, Mrs. Prickett believes, and
the Woman's Clubs seem to have a
chance for victory in their earnest
fight for the college. Consideration
is being given to various other routes
suggested. The high cost OF widen
ing of Jones avenue which is estimat-
ed at over 1000, 900 is another point
on which the women are basing their
fight.
When the women took up the fight
1t was generally believed that the
State Highway Commission had CON-
pletely formulated their plans. State
Commissioners Kidde's communica-
ton to Mrs. Prickett indicates, how
ever, that nothing definite in the i'm
provement has been made and that
the bridge construction is still in tbs
course of inquiry.

one of the most remarkable
families in history is the Resetti

what is known as the Pre-Raphael-
its School of art and letters. And
it was from his mother, Frances
Mary Lavinia Polidori, that the
great poet inherited much of his
greatness.
Born in London, although of Itai-

her marriage acted as a governess.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.-Mother
may thank Mrs. Dora Delaney of
this city when she sits down to meas
ure and fold and cut material for
her own and baby's dresses.
For Mrs. Delaney has invented a
device by which all this cutting and
folding into hens, ruffles and bands,
is reduced to the least amount OF
work. And all it consists of is n
of the gilt knobs atop baby's crib,
two discs of a watch and a discarded
six-inch tin tube about three-eighths
inch in diameteri
Mrs. Delaney got the idea for this
device after struggling through pleats
and RULES and hens of all sorts, un-
til it made her dizzy. Toe tired to
| continue this sewing, she started
| working with her brain.
The result was this invention for
which Mrs. Delaney says she has just
refused an offer of $4,000!
The l~abor-saving invention is called
