BE YOUR OWN ARCHITECT

"What's the matter, Edith, don't you feel well today?p
asked Alice Of her friend during a telephone conversation. Il
called you up to see if you would go to the theatre with me
this afternoon, but evidently you are not in a theatre mood"
"No, I'm not. I'm not ill but just frightfuly blue"
"BlueY What about? What has gone wrong? Are the
children or Bill ill? What's the trouble. Do tell me, Edith.
I hate to have all the joy out Of your voice like it is this
morning. Come, what's happened?''
''Oh, nothing has really happened, Alice dear. 1t is
just something l heard that has depressed me-"
Something you heard. How do you know it is trueY'
Alice questioned.
''That is just the trouble; it is not. I know it's not.
That is why it upsets me-
''Ohl Mrs. Smith has been gossiping again. And are
you going to let her idle, t~houghtless, unkind remarks upset
and worry you. Every one who knows Bill and you knows
there ism a bit of truth in what she says. You know, Edith,
why she does it; just because she is jealous OF you. DOM let
that narrow, evil and smallminded woman determine your
happiness. Be your own architect. Don't let her shape
your thoughts. l know it is upsetting to hear such things, but
please don't let it make you really miserable. You who are a
thousand times her superior, robbed of your happiness by her
scheming, artful deceitful woman. Can't you see the in
congruity and ~fooishness of it all?
"Come now, say you will go to the theatre with me this
afternoon and I'll phone for the tickets right away. That
new comic opera, that will be the thing to see. 1t is light
and cheerful. Meet you at t%wo-6fteen. Goodbye.

Mother Instinct

We hear a lot about mother in
stinet. 1t Is Something which is
supposed to come when the baby is
born and is to prevent the mother
from ever needing any professional
advice about how to care for her
baby, the instinct being supposed to
act whenever needed. Just today
someone said to me, II wish a friend
of mine could talk to you, she has
a baby nearly a year old who keeps
them up every night. She is just
a regular 2~3-year-old f1apper, and
she doesn't know n thing about
how to take care of that baby
In this case, apparently, the IN
stinct was not working.
1t is ridiculous to feel that so
delicate a thing as baby's life and
health can be left to so uncertain
a thing as instinct. Such a primi-
tive impulse may be sufficient to
keep a mother from letting her
child be left out in the cold insult
ficiently clothed, it may be enough
to keep her from giving it poison
knowingly, or letting it play with
knives, or stand on it's head; put

on that has anything to do with
the subject. 1t is only those who
are depending on instinct, who feel
it unnecessary to lay up Informal

shall need 1t.
This very young woman is tor
turing herself, her husband and
the baby by refusing to find out
and correct whatever is the mat

A Mascot

Betty Cut-out's heart sank when
the Jackson School made the first
touchdown in the game with the
Jefferson School. 1t was her cousin,
Tom Cut-up, the quarterback, who
made it. Betty could see how hap
by Toms sister, Alice, was. All the
children from their school blew
whistles and sang a school song and
jumped up and down on the bleach
ers.
Never mind" thought Betty,
our team will take courage when
Nancy and 1 spring our surprise at
the end of the quarter"
Soon the whistle had blown and
the teams rested. Then. Nancy
lifted her coat and out jumped the
Cut-out's Bouncer with an orange
and blue blanket on his back.
"A Mascot! Hoorayi" exclaimed
the cheer leader, who was running
to the group Of players with the
water bucket and sponge.
To wet the sponge, put it i'm the
bucket on the dotted line.

ahead. Who's going to win?

One of the most active m in
Perth Amboy today is Mrs. Eliza
beth Oliver. For a number of years
she has been prominent in women's
activities, having been a member for
several years of the Woman's Club
in which she served on various COM
mittees of importance. AS a mem
Der of the Y. M. c. A. auxiliary she
has worked with the other women
for years, being president of that
organization at the present time. In
the recent Y. M. c. A. membership
campaign, just ended, Mrs. Oliver
was general manager of the wom-
ems division which made such a
wonderful showing by securing al
most 600 members in IN week.
Mrs. Oliver was one of the women
instrumental in influencing the Board
of Directors of the Y. M. G. A. to
give to the women of this city the
use of the building on n day each
week. AS a result of the persist
ent requests made upon the "Y" di-
r~ectors the women and girls can
have on every Wednesday at the as
ISOLATION building that which would
be available every day If there were
q Y. M. c.. A. building here.
Another distinction is held by Mrs.
Oliver. She was the first woman
selected in this city to fill a munich
pal appointive office. Two years ago
she was named a member OF the
Board of Education and during her
time on that board has devoted much
time to her work and conscientiously
performed the duties incidental to
that office.
When the women won the privil-
eye to vote, Mrs. Oliver was n of
the first to take advantage of this
newly acquired right of suffrage and
she at once became an active worker.

Realizing her interest in politics and
her popularity together with her
ability to convince other women to
her way of thinking, Republican
leaders in this county selected her
as the logical woman for county
chairman in charge of organizing
the Republican women into clubs in
all parts of Middlesex county.
I~ncidently, Mrs. Oliver was one
of the women who were largely re-
sponsible for the defeat of ex-Gov-
ernor Stokes wet plank platform"
at Trenton last week. In entering
politics she has explained her great
activities by declaring it is the duty
of women to take advantage of their
suffrage rights to clean up the old
fashioned political methods and also
to see that better classes of candi-
dates are elected who will put
through and support legislation of a
higher type.
By working for civic betterme4lt.
moral and educational advancement
and political reform Mrs. Oliver has
been brought before the public eye
as have few Perth Amboy women.

1T is a curious thing that the virtues of the home and the virtues o.

husband; There are plenty of lei SO impeccable in their conduct IN

n unity to initiate who commit crimes worse than murder against their
wives and children.
I have known me1 honest to the last farthing in all their dealings;
