pLArE GAS AND WOMEN.

When a woman is pretty, stylish and
well-dressed. she knows IL. She may
let on that she doesn't, but, rs a mat
ter of fact she does, and her pretense Of
Indifference is but poorly assumed.
Sometimes the knowledge spOils her,
and sometimes it renders her the more
charming. a woman with an inOrdi-
nate amount of vanity is as much the
object OF public pity as is the man
with the swelled head and who ia
"stuck on himself" to use a slang
phrase which is fast becoming a fixture
in English as il Is spoken in America.
The pretty girl who strikes the happy
medium between detracting self-con-
sciousness and a bold parade Of her
face and figure Is the one who makes a
success In the matter OF personal ap-
pearance in public places, for, while
the world admires feminine beauty, 1t
does not wish to be forced to do SO or
10 have it flaunted in its face with su-
perciliOus vanity.
There are several young women OF
marked dattractiveness who are seen with
greater or lesser frequency on Market
street. They appear to regard that busy
thorughfare as q most delightful
promenade The Wayfarer has fire.
0uently noticed that the large plate
glass windows add materially to the
pleasures Of their daily walks. Some OF
them only glance askance at their re-
lectlons in the glass, but others, more
self-admiring and with less hesitancy
about showing it, boldly look at the re-
production in glass.
| There are certain windows on Mar
| ket street which are more affected than
| others by this small army Of feminine
self-admirers. OF this the Wayfarel

window which affords an excellent view
OF the hat; another which reelected thu
entire figure to perfection, and wOunS

COMMON SENSE VS.. CONSERVA-
TTSM.

Those Peninsula towns Of consider
able Importance which hesitate about
putting IN water and light plants on the
score Of economy have but to examine
the reports Of the towns which have
them already Installed, and they Will
see instantly that they are not only
good things but also economical New
ark shows that it's electric light plant
IS more than self-sustaining, and its
water plant is doing better than ever
before. Nothing would induce the peo-
pie OF Middletown, Smyrna, Dover and
Milford to return to the old conditions.
II the people Of those towns are salts
fed with the experiment there is no
reason why such towns as Seaford,
Laurel and Lewes should not follow
their example.
1t should be borne in mind that good
water and light are inducements which
bring population and manufactures,
and safety and convenience. Persons
do not care to invest large sums Of
money in industrial plants in commu-
mites which will not give them reason
able assurance OF protection against
fire and scarcity Of light and water.
Not that alone, but it must be borne in
mind that insurance rates are lower In
those towns which afford protection
against fire than they are in those
towns which do not.
There is a conservative element In
every town which is opposed to radical
improvements of all kinds, and as long
as a community bends to the will Of
that element just so long will 1t be
lacking in it's true capability OF devel-
opment under liberal conditions. 1t Is
only by substituting common sense for
senseless conservatism in the conduct
Of towns affairs that the maximum Of
prosperity is realized.

DR.. Henry Ridgely. one Of the most
representative Of Delawares staid citi-
zens, said that while he was In Cuba
he never received an unciyil word or

same in Cuba that it Is everywhere

that if he respects the people OF coun-

has very little to bother him.

The sooner the Presbytery of New
Castle drops this Montgomery business
the better IL will be for the church. He
is now out of Olivet Church, and prac-
tically out Of the Presbytery and the
Presbyterian Church, and If the grant
ing or refusing Of letter will forever
put stop to the disgraceful wrangle
which has been going on for several
years, for the sake OF Christianity let
the necessary action be taken as soon as
the Presbytery meets. The public Is
sick OF this thing, and there should be
something more elevating for the Pres
bytery and its members to think about
and act upon.

Senator Gray gave the president as
surance that he would support him
throughout this Cuban-Spanish trouble
and he has been true to his promise;
but despite his earnest efforts to induce
the Senate to adhere to the policy out
lined by the president and his Cabinet,
that body has run away from the ad-
mlnistration and gone a step farther
than it wanted to go. II is believed
that the House, which is better under
the control Of the president and his
friends, viii force the Senate TO recede
from the position which it has as
sumed. Meanwhile Spain is as actively
preparing for war as we are, and
everything points to an early beginning
Of hostilities.
