GEORGETOWN, Del, Dec. 2.-The fes |
tival given by the Loyal Legion has
proved to be success. It was literally |
patronized. about $45 being realized clear
of expenses. Quite number of funny
incidents occurred about the bouquet
table. Bright young ladies' cap.
tured young men and really talked
them into buying the bouquets. But it
Is not known whether they could not re-
sist the charms Of tho fair ones, or be-
cause they yielded simply to get rid of
them. one young man, presum-
ably from the country, at the
earnest solicitations of one fair
charmer. purchased bouquet. So far, so
good. But when word was sent to the
young lady TO tell her that her name was
drawn, the aforesaid young man, his
courage having evapora' cd, took to his
heels, made a hee line for the door and ran
rapidly down the street and has not been
seen since. But "he who fights and runs
away, may live to fight another day."

pen TO come across that young man
again, they would make things lively
for him.

true love did not run smoothly at all. A
week or so ego the married couple visited
a relative Of the young wife, and while
there she informed her husband
that she did not intend to
live with him any longer; that she was
going TO live with her mother. The
husband, thinking she was IN jest, made
some laughing reply. The next morn
ing he made preparations to return
TO their home, and when his wife
said she was not going drove off
without her. But when alone, his
wifes words returned TO his mind with
great force, and after several hours OF
anxious thought he returned to where his
wife was stopping, and demanded full
explanation. The wife of six months
merely repeated the words she ha1 said
before THAT she did not intend to live
with him." she was going home
| to her mother In this case marriage
may be said to be a failure
