CAMDEN LETTERMEN - JEFF DAVIS, HOBOES' KING,
STAItT THIS STORY TOB.W
IIFE downtown is ns different from
J life uptown In New York ns day 1
from night, to use the time-worn sim
ile. Uptown it is like n little vlllngc,
or to be more exact, a number of lit-
rtle villages, each with its own little
community center. One sees the same
people in the little shops dickering
over the prices of fresh vegetables, day
in and day out, girls stroll up and
down the city blocks at even time with
their arms linked and usually hatlcss.
Downtown, the realization is born in
upon one that it Is New York and not
a small part of New Yore that is
swallowing one up.
For instance, the block where Ruth
and Scott had decided to live had no
row of residences to recommend it as a
home btrcet. business buildings .had
crept in and towered over the few re-
- mainine three and four stories, there
were no children in the street, and at
night an nlmost entire, quiet reigned save
)for thq distant roar of the noisier
streets, the clang of the Ii, and the oc
casional fire engiue which is so much
more prevalent downtown.
Ruth had to walk over to Third
avenue to market, and she rarely taw
the Fame facei there ; they were always
changing. This was because there
wasn' a. great deal of retail trade, be
cause there were comparatively few fam
llies frho could afford to trade at the
one enterprising shop of the neighbor
hood. Most of the East Sillers pre
ferred the push carts or the tiny inde
pendent fruit and vegetable establish
ments where prices were never stable
and things could be bid for.
The first morning that Ruth woke
up in her new place she lay awake' for
a long time loosing aDout ner. ner
legs still ached and the muscles in her
arms were sore, but the apartment was
adorable.
"" The windows stretched almost from
the floor to the ceiling and there were
window' peats which had been freshly
scrubbed and glistening panes which
looked out ou the houses in the back
street and several yards which al
though not decorative, were not un
pleasant. The living-room was the piece de re
sistance. It had a generous skylight in
addition to the big old-fashioned win
dows, their furniture did not look so
out of place as it had in the new apart
ment house uptown ; it toned in with
everything. The big old-fashioned dav
enport that Ruth had always been
ashamed of seemed just the thing down
here.
Ruth sat up in bed and craned her
neck to see into the front room. The
shade was pulled across the skylight
so that only a dim light came down
from above, a light breeze was blowing
itj the curtains of a daring black and
blue and orange which Ruth had picked
up for a bargain because the pattern had
not been stamped straight.
Everything looked different somehow,
Ruth decided with n sudden inspira
tion that the place actually had at
mosphere. It wasn't like other people's
Apartments.:, , - ,
One of the things that had hurt her
most was the doing away with her din
ing room. At first she had refused to
do this and had insisted upon tiding to
crowd her furniture into the one big
room. It made everything look like a
hodgepodge, however, and she was
forced to admit it herself, and so they
had sold their dining-room table and
their china closet to an auction room
and at the same place had picked up a
settle chair which could be transformed
into a table at a moment's notice. Scott
had painted it a dull yellow, and it did
look charming.
The parting with the dining-room
had been an epoch with Ruth. She had
always eaten at a dining-room table in
a room set apart for eating. It was a
matter of custom with her, and it
spelled comfortable civilization, al
through she couldn't for the world have
told why. To give up her dining-room
meant giving up what other people
counted a necessity. Of course, when
one began to reason it out there was
no real reason why it should be neces
sary to have a separate room to eat in.
It was one of those things that, ac
cepted, can never be exactly explained,
it is custom, that's all; the American
custom of imitation.
It was dcliciously exciting to slide out
of bed, and to bathe in the big tub, and,
to slip into fresh things and to pull the
settle table up into the window, and to
whisk out a clean cloth, and to go out
iuto the alcove and get things ready for
, Scott's breakfast. Ruth hadn't had
such a good time in ages.

town.)

The hats in today's drawing have Miillcienl arlety in design to suit
(lie most particular person.' Satin, georgette, taffeta and linen are used
in their construction
fTUIIS has been a remarkable scaon in
the millinery world. I am not, as
one might suppose, referring either to
the shapes, styles or the business done
In millinery, but to the fact that the
women are still wearing summer hats,
and there seems no movement, so far
as can be seen now, to get them to
cease wearing summer hats.
There should not, of course, be any
thing unusual in women wearing sum
mer hats in July. If they were ever
going to wear them, now would seem
to be the time, but the last few years,
along about the first of July, the fall
hats of velvet and felt begau to make
their appearance, and by August 1 nl
most every woman had her fall bonnet.
It has, every one will admit, looked
very silly, especially when the fall hat
was worn with the filmy summer dress
Rut it has seemed to be the fashion
and as we arc more or less like sheep
and the rest flocked along.
Materials have been used a great deal
for hats this summer. In Paris, where
a few women started the ball rolling
there is a shortage of straw, the hats
are mostly of satin, taffeta, georgette
and linen. I recently saw n stunning
hat brought over from the other side.
It was of black satin and trimmed
around the crown with the straggly sort
of ostrich. This, too, was black. The
shape of the hat was most unusual,
similar to a boat. The hat at the right
of the drawing is much on the same
lines as tho hat which I saw.
This hat depicted is in combination
of satin and straw. The upper brim
and the under brim facing are of satin
and the edges and ornamentation around
the crown are of straw.
In the center is a hat of leghorn,
with upper nud under brim facing of
navy blue taffeta. The bow is also of
taffeta. At the left is a hat of georg
ette and satin. The points around the
head side arc of satin. A wreath of
flowers encircles the crown and a small
bow of ribbons finishes the wreath at
the left side.
Inquiries are solicited and may
be
addressed care of this uewspaper.

Camden letter carriers arc planning
to make a 100 per cent showing at the
big letter carriers' parade to be held
Labor Day here In connection with the
annual convention of the National As
sociation of Letter Carriers.
The president of the New Jersey
State Letter Carriers' Association,
Walter P. Eltis. of Camden, claims
that New Jersey will add several thou
sand carriers to the parade In which,
President Ellis said, 10.000 will march.
Elaborate preparations have been
suggested for the New Jersey carriers
to carry out for the entertainment of
many of the delegates that will attend
the convention.
It is exnected that the Camden car
riers will head the New Jersey division
In the nnrade with the banner whirli
was presented to them by Mrs. Davli
IJalrd. of Camden, twenty cars ngo.
Postmaster Harry Knight, of Camden,
and Mr. Ellis will march at the head
of the Camden men.
There is a possibility, said Mr. Ellis,
of Camden show lug courtesy to a notth
Jersey city, perhaps Newark, by giving
the carriers of that city the first place
in the line. If this is done Camden
will take a back position to allow many
other cities of the state to precede.
SOLDIER OUTING DELAYED
Ship Chartered by Jewish Welfare
Board Hits Rock Off Salem. N. J.
The steamer Sylvan Dell, which has
been chartered by the Jewish welfare
hoard and the war camp community
service for a river outing for SiOO serv
ice men to be given Sunday afternoon.
July 20, struck a rock off Salem.
N. J.
According to the statement issued by
the steamship officials, it will not he
repaired in time for the trip Sunday,
and inasmuch as another steamer can
not be substituted the Jewish welfare
board has been forced to cancel the
arrangements made for this date.
Rather than disnppoint the service
men and J. W. H. girls who have al
ready been invited, the entertainment
department of the Jewish welfare board
is plauning another outing for this date.
Jeff Davis, "king of the hoboes,"
has' abdicated 1
After many jesrs as ruler of the va
grant and "bum," he lias stepped
down from the throne and from now
on will be just plain Jeff Davis an
other triumph for the onward march
of democracy.
There will be no rejoicing in the
ranks of his followers, for whatever re
spect they get was greatly abetted by
his services; there will be no rejoicing
on the part of government officials,
for Jeff was an aid to them iu manv
campaigns against lawlessness. Hut
there will be great rejoicing by n little
woman and two kids somewhere in Cin
cinnati, living scantily in n "five-dollar
room." Yes, Jeff's family w jl be happy
when they get the news.
"I'm tru wit society," said Jeff to
day, liis eyes shining with earnest
ness, "and I'm tru knocking around
all over the world, aud I'm tru wit
working for crybody else but myself,
as I have for the lust twentv vears
now I'm going back to my wife and
the kids there's two of 'em and I'm
going to get a job nnd be like every
body else. Why should they starve
aloug iu a little 'live-dollar room'
while I mosey around by myself?"
Naturally this attitude toward work
and settling down is essentially anta
onistic to the platform of the
order of the "Knights of the Ilojd,"
so It Is quite In keeping with the ab
dication aunouncemeut. And Jeff leallj
means it.
Jeff spoke at length and in eulogistic
terms of what Jeff hns doue, but Iii
prnisp is founded on fact. He has
fought an unceasing battle against co
caine "rings" in cities all over the
counlr.i ; he has aided nil of the loau
and other campaigns of th govern
ment, making thousands of speeches
and raising millions of dollars, uuil
greatest of all, he hns brought happi
ness to hundreds of homes by sending
back boys who have ruu uwa. showing
them the folly of their course.
"I have averaged 1000 boys a year,"
he said.
Exit the Coffee Pot
Delicious, Fragrant Coffee
in a Minute
"You are sort of a runaway boy
yourself, Jeff," was suggested,
"You bet ; but the works is all off
now."
Jeff became soured on his career and
the gratitude of the public iu general
when he ran afoul of what he calls a
"frimc'-up" to Atlnntlu Clt? ahorfe,
time ago. He said that be was,arretd
for attempting to break up a cocalft '
"ring" there and narrowly ewyincd av

HE IS the same Mitchell whose works in crayon depict so
humanly the great, big, little truths of everyday life on the
back pag-e of The Magazine Section of the Sunday Public
Ledger.
Humor, according to that great and lovable figure, Mark
Twain, is truth, and tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thou
sands, of readers of The Magazine Section of the Sunday Public
Ledger will tell you that Mitchell's crayon creations catch truth
and humor, too (with a little bit of pathos now and then), and
portray them so vividly that no Sunday can be complete without
Mitchell and the children of his brain in your home.

NOT to be familiar with 'Til Say So" is intellectually unfor
givable. We are constrained to believe that Johnstone
would agree with this assertion with one of those familiar
"I'll Say Sos" a phrase on t he tip of every one's tongue;
You'll find this whimsical featu re also on the back page of The
Magazine Section of the Sunday Public Ledger "twinned," as it
were, with its pictorial affinity Mitchell's sketches.
. That back page, containing, as it now does, these two inimit
able features every Sunday in th e year, has come to be looked for;
watched for and waited for with bated breath!
We, therefore, suggest, as a measure of forehandedness,
that the first thing you do when you finish reading this word is to
call up your newsdealer or the Circulation Department of the
Public Ledger and reserve your copy of next Sunday's issue NOW,
so you will be certain to enjoy the se exhilarating features of The .
Magazine Section'.
