Pine Belt Holds
Best Pike Streams
Practically Every Stream
and Pond Has Some
Pike or Pickerel.
Important Game Fish

From Cape May to Sussex and
from coast stream to tributaries
of the Delaware, the season for
pike and pickerel gives zest to
the sport of New Jersey anglers.
The pike is the one important
game fish that thrives in New
Jersey without artificial reproduc-
ton. Stocking by the State has
made the Musconetcong and the
Pequest two of the greatest trout
streams in the world and has pro-
duced many fine bass ponds
throughout the State, but Nature,
aided by the protection of a clos
ed season, keeps many stream
and lake supplied with the pug
nacious pike.
The best pike streams have
their headwaters in the wilder
ness of the pine belt, where miles
of the waterways are inaccessible
to fishermen. Filled with stumps
and brush, these streams harbor
mighty kings of this finny tribe.
From these natural fish Ravens,
the young pike swim out to re-
plenish the more open sections
of streams. River systems where
such conditions pertain and
where pike-fishing is always good.
include the Mullica river, Wad-
ing river, Toms river, Egg Harbor
river, the Maurice and the Ran
cocas. Practically every stream
or pond in the State has some
pike and pickerel and official re-
cords indicate that the annual
catch actually outnumbers either
trout or bass.
The pike, when hungry, seems
equally willing to take either live
bait or artificial lures. Pike fish
ing continues good to the last of
November. Late in the fall the
fish migrate toward brackish wa
ter and the best angling will then
be found. near the mouths of
streams that empty into the salt
water bays.

An Evening Apart

Dinner that night was unusually
good John adored roast chicken and
Minnie had not cooked 1t too much.
Then there were little roasted pota-
toes and hothouse asparagus.
Helena mixed the salad at the table.
Lettuce and tomato and a RoQuefOrt
cheese dressing.
Anticipatingly, John watched her
measure out the oil. Helena made a
delicious French dressing. She always
said that the secret of it was simple.
Two tablespoonfuls of oil to one of
vinegar and a dash of table sauce.
Then the cheese had to be mashed in
until the whole was thick and creamy.
She handed his plate to HIM with
out waiting for Minnie to paEs it, and
he ate his salad with gusto.

Would you like to go to the theater

Afternoon Dresses.

What Helen has done is no more
than any other woman can do If she
is interested in keeping young and
fresh. 1t Is indeed a foolish woman
who fades and wrinkles or become fat
and f1abby. Pursue the rules Helen
observed.
I'VE couldn't have made a better
selection" said the delightful woman
who understood the subtle principle Of
dress as she scrutinized the suit Helen
was wearing. 1T suits you in every
particular. Mrs. Crane. individually
first, then fashion. If you'll always
keep that in mind. your appearance
will be distinctive. Even though the
modern woman seems to pay attention
to the question of clothes more than
ties that you see without walking
more than block or two on a crowded
street.
Helen was indeed reveling in finery
Thanks to a dress allowance which
had been rarely taxed heretofore, she
was able to do so with an easy con-
science. The color ebbed and flowed
into clear skin as she handled exquisite
materials. She was no longer con-
scious of her hands or anxious to keep
them out Of sight. There was a GER
tain poise, and dignity, too, with which
she held her body now. The new
clothes which she took such pride in
wearing were indeed charming in
themselves. Rightly they were but a
frame to enhance the budding new
woman. The evening before her mir
ror had reflected two fetching negli-
ges, and at that very moment her
skin was feeling caressed by soft,
silky undies. Helen was indeed learn
ing something Of clothes value.
i've some darling afternoon frocks
selected for you. Come along to the
fitting room," smiled the personal
shopper.
Isn't that adorable" said Helen a
few minutes later as the shopper held
up a shell-pink ensemble for her in
spection. II love itr she cried out en-
Enthusiastically as she turned it about.
Il just couldn't resist 1t as l was
going through the cases." the shopper
smiled back. IT'S ideal for real hot
weather. And isn't it a heavenly
color? Let's put it on and see If we
like it,"
"Oh. it has short sleeves" said
Helen's disappointed voice.
Yes, indeed. But short sleeves for
Midsummer are quite the proper caper.
You see, the cape obviates the bare
ness which we so readily object to.
And. still, without the cape, the frock
Is perfectly charming. Please notice,
Mrs. Crane, how extremely plain this
frock is. But it is it's simplicity that
makes it so attractive. And the color
is very flattering to your skin. The
sqaure neck, with it's dainty faggoting
is very alluring, don't you think so?"
Il do truly adore it!' Helen an
nounced unreservedly. Then she
smiled reminiscently. II never
dreamed 1 could be so interested in
clothes"
You are the sort of woman, Mrs.
Crane that will think about them at
the time you require them. Then
you'll forget them. They'll be just a
part of you after that. And want
you to know that it grat1fies me to
observe your progress. Very soon you

mind"
John was instantly generous.
'"Mindi OF course | don't mind. I'll
go down to the club and join the boys
in a game of cards so as to leave you
two plenty of time to gossip. Is she
coming here?"
mo, I'm going down to her hotel"
Il should think you'd rather have
her come here"
Helena shrugged.
She'll be in town several days;
there's plenty of time"
II suppose you'll get home early.
I'll probably be late. Once you get in
game you never know when it will
end"
He hadn't been as jovial in a long
time as he was that evening, and yet
Helena could see that he was eager
to be gone. How glad he was to be
rid of her, If only for an evening.
And yet there was some consolation
in the thought that she had started
something. At least she was no
longer merely sitting still and accept
ing his attitude. 1t would be interest
ing, too, to see how things worked
out. Natalie's crazy idea might work,
even though she had no real faith in
1t. But she would try and she had
already made beginning. OF course,
her Indifference might only drive him
right to some other woman. But then
Natalie had been right when she had
said he wasn't particularly interested
in Nina Price. It was just that he
wasn't interested in her and he saw
mystery and romance in almost any
one else.
At 8 o'clock she went to her bed
room, put on the rakish blue hat and
her heavy coat and called to him from
the door.
I'm off, John. Have a good eve
ming"
Without. waiting to hear his reply
she went out and slammed the door
after her But her heart was heavy
as she went down in the elevator, and
she hadn't any idea of how she was
going to spend the evening.
She decided to see a motion picture,
and it turned out to be a good one,
so that she really enjoyed herself
When she reached home at 10 o'clock
she felt quite elated over the whole
thing. After all, she was only 25.
And as she undressed before the long
mirror in her bedroom, she realized
that she had actually grown thinner.

bothered him only the first few days
and that we all eat too much.
The aged doctor had the medical
knowledge necessary to watch his
condition. It would be a dangerous
thing for any one to start fasting
without being sure of the condition
Of the heart. And 1t would be a dan
gerouS thing to undertake a prolonged
fast without the attendance of ply

As long as there is life mans body
consumes energy-eVen during fast.
Not as much energy is used during a
fast as during work, but if food
doesn't supply the energy the body
feeds upon itself. First the stores of

sumed to furnish fuel for the living.
