to make their own frocks Trimmings
by the yard do much TO simplify their
tasks.
For each froCk designed by one of
the great designers some special sort
of trimming is wrought. This year
much of the trimming is made from
the material from which the frock it
self is made. When double faced
ma terials are used, often the only
decorative note is struck by revers-
ing the material for panels, godets or
other insets. Sometimes there IS
quilting, to give a decorative note to
the material. Wonders are wrought
with pieces of soft dyed suede and
other leather. Sometimes the leather
is combined with other materials of
quite different nature-velvet, chintz,
georgette-to make effective decora-
ton. A strip of suede wrought with
eyelet design is joined to a narrow

Sixty-two Per Cent of
American People Pay Rent

Only about 3S per cent of the
American people own their own
homes. The. remaining 62 per cent
are paying rent
The money one pays to a landlord
in exchange for rent receipts never
comes back. 1t is a permanent in
vestment, which pays no dividends
and can never be converted into cash
or exchanged for anything of value.
Rent money will, in few years,
pay for the house rented but the house
still belongs to the landlord and the
only thing left in the possession of
the renter is bundle of rent receipts.
No family can ever acquire that
deep-seated love and affection for a
rented house, which is naturally de-
veloped for home they own. There
is little incentive to adorn and beau
tify the house and lawn which be-
longs to another. But when the place
which shelters the family group is
their own-when they know that no
man has a right to raise the rent or
disturb their peace, then the place
where they dwell, however lowly or
humble it may be, becomes indeed
their home. Every tree and shrub
and flower planted adds new charm
to life and strengthens the ties that
bind the happy hearts.

RE AL EST A TIE |
Fl. Lee Council to
Spend $4,000 on
Road Improvement

AT their regular meeting on Monday
night the mayor and council of Fort
Lee voted to spend $4,000 as the
borough's share of the Lemoine and
Palisade avenue improvement Before
taking action they secured the assur-
ance in writing that the total cost to
the borough will not be more than
this amount.
The work is to be undertaken Joint
ly by Bergen county and Fort Lee
authorities with assistance from the
State Highway Commission. The bor-
ough's share of the expense will
amount to S25,000, that of the county
$4,000, while the highway commits
sion will pay $4,000.
This will be a very important i'm
provement for it will connect in a
more direct way Palisade avenue and
Lemoine avenue, thus eliminating the
very dangerous Main street turn. It
will give Fort Lee a finely paved direct
road through the borough and will re-
lieve her from paying the maintenance
costs on Lemoine avenue, which will
become county road when the i'm
provement is completed.
Work will be started as soon as
possible.

Has Much Larger Bldg.

The C. & c. Garage, on Gorge road
and Anderson avenue, in Cliffside
Park, is now one of the most up-to-
date garages along the Hilltop.
Extensive alterations have been
made with the result that the once
comparatively small establishment is
now a spacious two-story brick build
ing, with two entrances, one on Gorge
road and one on Anderson avenue. The
Anderson avenue entrance is on the
second floor but is at street level,
due to the lay of the land in that

in a position to accommodate hun
dreds of cars. They render every

tiffcally in tax matters as they are
by the chain stores and insurance
companies for their various needs.
Comparisons between taxes paid in

should not be used for local purposes,
