THE latest idea in fashion is the "grad
nal smile" It is not now considered
good style to smile too widely, so as 10
show many teeth The modern smile is
slow aud mv-circumscribed and
carefully regulated; indeed. its voiaries
are enjoined to practice it frequently he
fore the glass ere producing it in public,
Il is particularly bad form for those who
have bad teeth to smile widely Better
not smile at all than TO show a dirty and
set of teeth. Nothing is in as
bad form as this.

A letter lies before us, written by a
mother who is most concerned for the
welfare Of the growing girls Of the com
munity, aud who asks the editor to say a
few words against the popular but perni-
cious habit that these youthful feminines
have of promenading the streets after
dark either with companions Of their
own sex or with boys not one whit more
matured in Thought and action than
themselves, says an exchange. 1t almost
seems as though this letter represented
some sort Of mental telegraphy between
this unknown correspondent aud the
writer, for it was onlya few hours before
that we sat by the window aud watched
the hundreds Of young girls promenad
ing the streets uuchaperoned aud uu
concerned, willing to answer the light
remarks made by the masculine passer=
by with a fippaut carelessuess that
grated sorely upon the feelings of the in
terested observer. "What could the
mothers be thinking about" we argued,
ito allow their pretty, innocent daugh-
ters such ljcensel A license that dulls
their moral seusibilities, makes them
coarse and common aud debars them
from the real pleasure of young woman
hood when they actually reach that polnt
in years. Tue boys who hirt with them
now will grow into manhood possibly un-
hurt bv the reckless freedom they enjoyed
in the days when a cigarette and q SUI
day evening stroll on popular thorough
fare meant the widest kind Of dissipa
ton, but what will they think Of the girls
who were wont to frequent the same
streets aud respond to their would be
witty remarks? They will not he the
companions chosen then. There viii
always be little faint of memory con
nected with them, and though not day
older IN reality than the dnbntautes to
whom the men gladly devote their time
aud attention, they will seem passes by
comparison, aud somehow not as dainty
and desirable as those girls who have
been carefully sheltered until they have
reached an age when their own good
sense will prevent them from falling into
acts Of iudiscretion that the world always
criticises most harshly and harbors
against them through all time. The
streets alter dark are not good places for
unchaperoued girls On She surface
there may appear to be no harm IN the
early evening walk, but there is. and the
parent careful of a child's reputation
sholld put a veto upon these Idle saunt-
erings.

WILLIAM LoFLAND, of the Douglass
House. Rehoboth, came very near losing
his life in the surf in front Of his hotel
Oh Saturday last Mr. LoAaud cannot
swim anl as he was out in the sea to a
depth of water that came up to his neck,
the receding water carried him some dis
tauce out beyond his depth, lie imme-
diateiy called Justify for help aud Mr..
Charles G. Preltyman, of this town, WHO
was bathing at the same time Went to his
assistance As Mr.. Prettyman neared
I the now drowning man he said to him,
do not take hold of me, keep cool AND
simply lie on my back, and l will take
YOU 10 shore" Mr. Lohand had pres
euce of mind enough To do this and Mr..
Preltywau started Tor the shore, but be-
fore lie reached water so shallow as to
stand erect his strength failed him aud
but for the assistance of MI Washing
ton Irving, of Washington, Pa, both
would probably hays gone down. With
the assistance Of Mr. Irving Mr.. Pretty
man succeeded in getting Mr.. Lofland
ashore. Willing hands at this juncture
rendered assistance and carried Mr.. LOT
land 10 the hotel. where he was soon re-
vived and is now all right again. For
three DAYS be was in bed aud under the
care Of a physician. Blood came from
Mr.. Lohand's stomach and ears for sew
eral hours after he was Landed on shore
aud Mr. Prettyman suffered only from
exhaustion, sick stomach, etc. Il was
narrow escape in deed for both M LOT
laud aud Mr.. Prettyman, especially for
Mr.. Lohand, and but for the assistance
of AIessrs. Prettyman aud Irving he would
certainly have been drowned.
