They say that q chain Is only a.

truth applies to the chain OF manners
then we are no better bred than we
would indicate by the way We behave
at breakfast in the bosom OF our own
family. For every ones breakfast
manners are his worst, and a good
many people forget that manners, like
charity, begin at home. There are
some otherwise very well hammered
persons who simply can't show much
courtesy or consideration at breakfast.
They are so constituted physically that
they come to breakfast in sort OF a
daze and don't entirely awake from
their nights slumbers till after the
morning meal. From such persons an
extra effort is required If they would
strengthen this weakest link.
In homes where attention Is paid
to the cultivation of good manners
children are taught to greet their
parents at the breakfast table with q
GOOD morning. father" or Good
morning. mother" Needless to say,
the parent so addressed should answer
as courteously to the child.
There is nothing more discouraging
to the cultivation of good manners
than the appearance at breakfast of
members Of the family in sloppy at
tire. and morning disarray. To be

Phil called down to her.
Mrs. Cook smiled to herself, but

TIME American woman who has
heard that leather shoes enter
duty free in the United States
i goes to the shoe shop in Paris
determined ito buy leather
shoes. She asks the sliopkeeper's as
sistant Tor some evening slippers Of
feather. This young person looks po-
litely bafficd. Leather evening shoes
but there are no such things. One
must wear satin or. broeaae or metal
slippers for the evening. Black satin
slippers are most useful and 50 con-
Venient. They are trim little slippers
with slightly rounded va1nps and high
spike heels--not very expensive.
Then there IL the ornament. Thai
is Of strass or rhinestone. There are
charming little garter arrangements
that slip. on over the foot with q band
of bfilliants all across the instep
They give q pretty touch and serve
the purpose Of keeping the slipper
from slipping off. Or, II YOU like
there are little rhinestone buckles
Large silver or rhinestone buckles
might be chosen, but they are better
for afternoon. Or you may prefer
one of the new little ornaments con-
sisting of a row of dangling rhine
stone NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to the front
Of the slipper where q buckle would
be fixed.
Quite the newest and the smartest
idea is to have a perfectly unbroken
line from toe to knee. This means no
buckle or ornament whatever, and
several smart women have adopted
this fad. However, the shoe dealer is
not especially interested. He always
has a tempting array of ornaments
to offer to the woman who Is inclined
to follow this fashion Of greater sim
plicity.
But assuredly fashion is working
toward greater simplicity in foot APP
parel Stockings are Of the same tone
as the shoes. Feet appear less con-
spicuous when they are so matched,
ar1d there seems to be a definite move
ment on foot to foster smaller feet
or, at any rate. feet; that appear
smaller.
{ Some women have been wearing
fiesh-coIored satin slippers with flesh
colored stockings. They must be
matched exactly Others wear shoes
and stockings Of white, and occasion
ally one sees black satin slippers with
very thin black stockings. However,
the contrasting stocking remains in
favor with many and is certainly not
likely to pass speedily from fashion.
There are f1esh-colored stockings with
q slightly orchid cast that meet with
smart women's approval.
The reptile still persists in day
time fashions, and the fact that
cheaper shoes have appeared in
countless numbers made of lizard
skin Of calf origin does not seem tc
have spoiled the fashion so much as
one might have expected. All sorts
Of unusual skins are in fashion
ostrich skin, lizard, snake. And Il
some fortunate explorer could but
come upon some well preserved dodo
skin or dynosaur hide surely women
would all want to wear it.
On.the one hand there is the move
ment in favor Of simpler and simpler
footgear, and on the other the effort
on the part Of some Of the shoemak'
ers to make these things more bizarre
and more elaborate. Sometimes q
single pair of shoes shows three or
four different sorts OF feathers and

Ol l1e SuOl Z oSCtloh.
During the last ten years there
has been a progressive trend in
realty in this section of the state.
Where barren sand dunes were a
few years ago, resort cities have
sprung up.
The next three years will be
marked by steady development
and during that time we are like
ly to experience boom in realty
which will surpass all others
which we have experienced in this
section.
The completion of these con-
Meeting links with New York City
and Philadelphia will be followed
by steady exodus to the shore.
Thousands more tourists will
come to this section and many
will establish summer homes and
permanent residences.
It is important that the railroad

CIVIC PRIDE IN

Every little while we hear some
one say, "There's no civic pride
in Pleasantville."
Nothing could be further from
the truth. There is civic pride
here, although it may not always
be exercised.
The fine banking houses in
Pleasantville are evidences of civ
&c pride.
Homes in Pleasantville compare
favorably with homes anywhere.
The grounds around these
homes reflect civic pride.
Civic pride is apparent in the
programme of street improvement
and the demand for the extension
of Franklin Boulevard.
People are proud of the stores
of the city and the improvements
they are making.
Civic pride is really an individ
nal proposition.

Dispute Over Riparian Rights
Since 1919 Ends

Disagreement over riparian
rights fronting a two-block strip
of land, fifty feet wide on the
ocean side of Maine avenue, will
cost Atlantic City 100000.
In 1919 the city obtained an
agreement in which the strip was
decided over for highway purpos-
es. Plans were made to include
it in the new street system of
that section. When final papers
were ready it was discovered that
the owners thought they were re-
tanning the riparian rights. Con-
troversies followed and the free
deed offer was withdrawn.
Now the city. has authorized
bond issue of 100000 to buy it
in, with the riparian rights. The
market value is put at $450,O0O
by realty experts. The strip will
become part of the ocean high
way system that is being added
along the beachfront wherever
property can be reasonably ac-
quired.
