Perfumes
for
Christmas Gifts
THE refreshing sweetness of flowers is so evidently a tonic to tired nerves that it is taiy to understand why the an¬ cients attributed magic proper¬ ties to scents. When dressing for the drawing room, the theatre or the dance the finish¬ ing touch it always the same— a few drops of one's favorite per¬ fume.
Our stook of perfumes is es¬ pecially oomplete this Christ¬ mas, and we will be proud to ahow the line to yon. And atomizers, too; a delightful way of using perfumes.

Gilbert Vefu^e^"
to Call Special
Tottifti Meeting
Upheld byLabifjreraf in Effort to Safeguard Tajcpaj^er^r
HEMPSTEAD, Dec. 17, -After a most convincing explanation of the insufficiency of the Prichard peti¬ tion, Town Clerk Franklin C. Gilbert, this morning, in an exclusive Inter¬ view with a representative ot The .Nassau Post, declared empliatically that he would not hold the special election, except upon the order of a justice of tlic supreme court after mandamus proceedings. .Mr. Gilbert has made a careful study of thc situ¬ ation and tlie members of the legal fraternity in the town uphold his con¬ tention,
.Mr. (iilbert, although one ol' tiie youngest town clerks in the State, is an able man with an extremely keon insight. In speaking to the editor of The .N'assau Post he said:
"Section 16 of the Town Law re- i|uires tlie town derk to cali a special election upon tlie petition ol 25 tax¬ payers whose names aiipear on tlie last preceediiig assessment roll. Such a petition has been presented con¬ taining 5 1 names.
"I'pon an investigation of tlie as- se:-isnieni rolls it has been ascertained that the petitioners represent approx¬ imately $268,000, and since the as¬ sessed valuation of the entire town is aliout $65,000,00(1, bear in mind that they represent but two-tifths of one per cent, or one-two-hundred-and- liftleth rff the entire valuation of this town.
"The petition calling for this spec¬ ial election does nol contain sutilclenv
(lata lo permit an elector of the town to vote intelligently and I sin- C(!i-ely tielieve I am justified iu refus¬ ing to call a special election unless mandamotised by the petitioners. My othce will welcome a court order re¬ straining tiie town cierk from call¬ ing an election upon such a petition. "The law as it stands on ttie statute books in refereni e to such elections is anti(iuated and not applicable to such a town as ours; it is evidently intended for days gone by. And as a representative of the people I consid-
; er it my duty to look after tlie wel-
^ fare of my constitutents, and the tax¬ payers of this town,
j "Do not misunderstand me, it ts
'not my desire to hinder a proposition advantageous to the tt)wn, but I am not in favoi' of the petition as it now .stands. A roadway to Long Beach
¦would bean excellent tiling - it would briiiK pe(ipli> to the town, it would in¬ crease tlie value of the meadow lunds, increa.se the assessed valuation and in tlie end cause a stilistaiit ial reduc¬ tion in taxes.
"There are aiipni.xiiiiatciy iO.nOO acres of meadows wliicli if sold at the low ligure of $100, per acre would net $1,000,000. Such .sum invested al six pel- cent, would yield a yearly income of $60,(ifi, and would make
j tlie town of Henipstead. a tax free town.
"The matter of the leas(^ must be
considered carefully and the taxpay¬ ers' rights fully guaranteed."
