Don't Drift Into the Critical Habit.

Do not drift into the critical habit
Have an opinion. and Il sensible one
about everything. but when you come to
judge people remember that you see very
little of what they really are, unless you
winter and summer with them. Find the
kindly, lovable nature of the man who
knows little Of books. Look for the
beautiful self-sacrifce made daily by
some woman who knows nothing about
pictures, and teach yourself day in and
day out to look for the best in every
thing. 1t is the everyday joys and sor-
rows, my dear girl, that go to make up
life. 1t is not the one great sorrow. nor
the one intense joy. it is the accumula-
ton of the little ones that constitute
living. SO do not be critical of the little
faults, and do be quick to find the little
virtues and to praise them. So much
that is good i'll people dies for want of
encouragement. AS l said before, have
an opinion. and well-thought-out one
about everything that comes into your
life, but do not have too many opinions
about people. Their hearts are not open
looks, and as you must be judged Yourself
some day, give them the kindest judg.

is an easy enough matter to rip up a
garment. Almost anybody can do it,,
and it is an undertaking that requires
no special skill or care. Acting OH this
idea; clothing is pulled, torn, cut with
knives, shipped with SCISSORS and finally
taken to pieces after this Improbable
FASHION, and the operator comes and; de-
clarea that everything is ready. i dyer
who handles a large quantity of black
goods says that he long ago gave IN
expecting anybody to rip garment up
as it should be done. If the seams are
ripped they are full or threads: some
times there are buttons on; hooks and
eyes are not uncommon; the fronts of
them are stuck full of pins of various
sorts, and Innings, faoings, braids and
the like remain: in whole or in pieces.
just as the individual who had charge
OF the disintegrating process happens to
leave them.
TO rip up garment properly there
should be. no pulling. tearing or drag ging
apart: If one cannot take the end OF
the thread and pull it out the stitches
should be cut with sharp knife. Very
few persons can rip a garment with scis.
sors without doing it great harm; indeed
many find it impossible to cut stitches
with anything without making holes thai
render the goods absolutely worthless fol
the one who or: ginally wore it, When
it is done the edges are SO ragged that a
much smaller pattern must be used. In
preparing goods for the dyer. or to be
made over. every stitch should be taken
out. 1T seems scarcely necessary to say
that facings, braid and hooks and eyes
must be removed. but this is impera~
tive, in view of the condition in which
garments come to the dresslnaker and
the dyer. Many dresses. capes and
jackets are perfectly wearable. after be-
ing carefully: ripped, brushed. sponged
and pressed. 1t is wonder that some
one does not set up an esta blishment for
ripping clothes and putting them in or
der for the dressmaker. The owner of
them frequently has not time to do them
properly, or is too careless and under
stands too little the requirements of
them to do it. had she all the time in
the world. Some semi-invalid in every
community might get tolerable living,
or at least add to limited income, By

While it is desirable that there should
be perfect peace in Kent county, that
desire does not demand q sacrifice of
principle on the part Of those who are
largely in the majority, especially when
that principle is one which invokes the
financial standing OF our nation at home

For the State Convention to straddle the
currency question for the sake Of har-
monizlng Kent county; or for the
National Convention to enter into
disgrsceful compromise with the free
silver men OF the West and South means
that the electors OF Delaware and every
other state In the East will be lost to the
Democracy should the st. Louis Con-

Then declare for gold and see to it
that none but honest money Democrats
be named to represent Delaware at
