Melancholy.

It Is only selfish people who eontrive
to be always happy and placid whatever
happens. They are so thoroughly un-
svmpathetic, so unmoved by the Joys
and sorrows of others, that 80 long as
they live in comfort they arc perfectly
content But a great many well-mean-
ing people contrive 10 be unhappy when
they might well be the reverse. They
have made up their minds that this
world is q sad and weary one, and they
will not grasp end benefit by the few
joys that come In their way. They may
fully understand the divine dictum,
"wcep with them that weep" but they
fail TO realize the equally binding OBJ
legation TO "rejoice With them that do

TWISTING THE TRUTH.

The Dover State Sentinel is making
a strenuous editorial effort to fasten
upon the Regular Republ-
can State Committee responsibility
for the failure of the two parties to et-
feet harmonious relations at the Clay
ton House conference OF the two state
committees. It even goes so far as TO
accuse F. E. Bach OF being the per-
son who prevented the cOnsummatlOn
Of the deal.
The state Sentinel knows, and every
body else knows, that the Addicksites
never intended to harmonize. Chair
man Alice appointed ]. Edward Ad-
dicks on the subcommittee, and that OF
itself was sufficient to convince anyone
that he was merely shaking a red flas
in the face OF the Regulars and intro
ducing in the meeting OF the sub-com
mittees a dictatorial and diseordanf
spirit which would ensure disagree
ment. We know that at the time o
the appointment OF Addicl1s, Bach wa
not a member Of the Regular Repubh
can subcommittee. It was only be
cause a prominent Regular Republican
who was designated to serve on tn
committee. was called away by an un
expected and pressing business engage
ment that Bach was selected to serve.

BROrHER Observation-Disclosures


The Delaware Pilot persistently an
tagonizes the running of Sunday
trains to Rehoboth. 1t bases its fight
on one OF the Ten Commandments. We
are glad to know that 1t has such a
high authority at its back, but we doubt
that 1t can convince the public mind
that 1t is any more harmful to patron
ize a railroad train on Sunday than It
is to patronize a livery stable or even
ones own private stable. We believe
that the editor OF the Pilot will admit
that very small percentage OF the
people OF the United States share with
him the BELIEF that 1t is sinful for those
who wish to spend the Sabbath at the
seashore and who cannot spare the
time, obtain leave OF absence to make
the journey on Saturday, or pay ho-
tel bills for a day and a half or two
days, to reach their destination by
train, steamboat or other vehicle on
Sunday We know that there are some
narrow minds which construe the in
junction Remember the Sabbath day
and keep 1t holy" in a sense which
means Remember the Sabbath and
make it miserable" but, happily for
the world, they are in the minority
and their number is rapidly diminish
ing. The increasing number Of Sunday
trains, steamboats, and trolley cars, and
the character of the persons who pa
tronize them Is sufficient to convince
anyone but person who is hidebound
in orthodoxy that the world does not
agree with the Delaware Pilot that
Sunday excursion trains and boats and
passengers all have terminal facilities
awaiting them in the innermOst circle
of that heated sphere so graphically
described by Dante in his Inferno.
Moses, the friend whom Brother Mus
tard invokes to aid him in his fight,
was a good man, and one possessed OF
remarkable sense and judgment; but
we seriously doubt that he would. IL be
were here on earth, with its changed
conditions, hand down a decision that
the only pious, decent and sinless
method OF getting to Rehoboth on Sun
day is to gear up tired horse to a car
rlage, drive it over the hot and dusty
roads, and leave 1t hitched in some out
of-the-way place for whole day, sub
ject to the annoyances OF heat, green
head flies and mosquitoes. No; there
are senseless degrees Of orthodoxy, and
Moses was not a senseless man by an!
means. Brother Mustard is merely
twisting the law handed down and w

A WoMAN AND HER Wells.

After her 25th birthday a woman
should buy her wells thoughtfully, and
.aatrons can scarcely be too painstak-
ing in this respect, writes somebody,
evidently a woman who has given a
great deal of thought to the matter.
Nothing so contributes to the weaving
Of little wrinkles about the eyes as a
veil with many and small spots. 4
constant, though unconscious, effort is
being made by the human lenses to get
a proper focus through such a speckled
mist, and by reason OF steady contrac-
tion OF muscles provoked about the lids
the cobwebby tracings are penciled in.
Put pair of the most lustTous eyes
constantly behind a veil OF chiffon
thickness and the result will be a slow
but none the less sure, extinction Of
that liquid bright quality a healthy
pair of orbs should possess even to old
age. A woman who persists in wear
ing a dotted net veil under one OF
chiffon, as so many do, is simply ruin
ing the quality of the eyes for the sake
OF her complexion, and she who con-
tinues long in this pernicious habit
may ward on a few freckles while she
Is simply courting pink ruins on her
lids and a dull glaze on both pupil and
iris.
Too many women buy the first good
and inexpensive veil that is offered,
with a reckless Indifference as to
whether color, spot or mesh is becom-
ing. A face that smiles delightfully."-
from behind a delicate black gauze,
bearing a dot here and there, will look
old and haggard under Russian net,
heavily treatedwith chenille balls. This
phase OF the veil situation ought to
be by every wise soul studied out be-
fore a mirror and, moreover, few
women are aware that certain hats go
with certain wells, and vice versa. Be
ware Of using your cycling hat veil
with your best bonnet, for by such
maneuvers is beauty judged.
AS to the adjustment Of the little
face masque, let it be known that a
bow at the back must be avoided. Draw
the tissue terminals into the smallest
possible knot and tuck that neatly out
Of sight Never let fluffy ends Of net
hang out behind like signals OF dis
tress, and as you value your reputation
for youthful beauty don't roll your veil
up in an unlOvely band across your
brow. Rather remove it entirely, il
you wish to read or eat anything, for
that band across the brow, or, worse
still athwart the nose, adds an in
stant weight OF ten years to any age.
