And on her lip her dreams bloomed htp v

The Master Plumbers Associa-
tlon Of this city, gave their Second
Annual Outing and Planked Shad
dinner at Delaware City today.
The party left King street wharf
on the tug Laura B, at 9. 20 o'clock
and after viewing the yards of the
Harlan and Hollingsworth Com.
pany, proceeded to New Castle
where they were given the freedom
OF the Jail by Sheriff TAYLOR. The
plumbers were all in good spirits
and had their tools along to close
the leak in the sky if the weather
man had decided to mar their
pleasure by rain. All wore hand
some badges of red. white and blue
ribbon clasped with pin sur
mounted with a costly "emerald"
Or opal.
Two OF the outing party, Plumb
ing Inspector Kane and Harvey
Wiley. Secretary OF the Street and
Sewer Department, attracted much
attention as they walked down King
street in their immaculate white
suits Of the Wilmington street clean
ing brigade. Kane carried beauti.
full bouquet of mixed flowers which
had been presented to him by some
admiring friend, and Secretary
Wiley carried grip, not fratcr-
nal grip, but one OF leather, OF large
dimensions.
The grip was looked upon as
suspicious article and there we're
many suggestions as to what it
contained. Some said dynamite,
others, bathing suits or fishing
tackle. Mr.. Wiley settled the
question by opening the grip and
exposing copies of Simmons preog-
atiyes on Trolley Line Franchises
and city market clerks.
The program for the sports of the
day had been prepared with great
care by the committee and from the
entries made an enjoyable day was
assured. The party are making
the Robinson House their head
quarters, where dinner was served.

WOMAN AND A TELEGRAM.
A MiSsive That Caused Unpleasant Re.
suits in a ThsateL

Ifthere's any one thing in the world
the average woman fears more than
she does a mouse-though, for my
part, | know a lot of women who
aren't a bit afraid Of mice-it is
telegram. There is something about
the mere sight Of a black-lettered yell
low envelope that fairly makes a wom-
ans heart stop beating for an awful
second-a second that is long enough
to let her think over every possible
sudden death or frightful disaster the
message may announce. Now and
then you find a woman who receives
as many kilograms as most OF us do
letters, but even she, I'll venture to
say, isn't above feeling a deal better
when she's torn open the envelope and
found that nothing serious has hap
pened. What made me think Of all
this was the small adventure of a
Washington young woman who has
been visiting in Wilkesbarre. She
lives, when n-she is at home, on Yer
mont avenue, and in Wilkesbarre she
has been staying with cousins. The
first evening Of her visit she went to
tho thoOtor with her two girl cousins.
The play was a morbid, lugubrious
sort of thing, and she was almost in
tears anyway when the second act was
over. The orchestra had just begun
to play when the manager Of the the
ater appeared before the curtain and
motioned the latter to silence. His
face was very grave and he held a tel
egram in bis hand.
'1s Miss Vermont, Of Washington,
in the house?" he asked. "a tele-
gram has been brought to the theater
addressed to her"
Miss Vermont turned suddenly cold
with terror. Mother had had a stroke,
or fathers automobile had run away
with him, or Brother Jack had been
capsized on the river and drowned.
She saw every detail Of her fearful
journey home-the sleepless night Of
waiting for the first train, the inter-
minable crawling of it Washington.
ward. She saw herself in deepest
mourning. In half a second she lived
a week Of misery. Her two cousins
were gazing at her in frightened help
lessness. She staggered to her feet.
"1 am Miss Vermont" she said,
with an effort.
An usher ran down the aisle. Every
eye in the theater was on her. Every
woman there felt for her. For mo-
ment she could not nerve herself to
open the envelope. She must. She
must know which one il was. The
message was blur before her. 1t was
signed "Jack." She caught the
words: "Wire at once" 1t was moth
er, then, or father. She looked closer.
This time she made out the whole
message. 1t read:
Mother left out pink organdie. Do
you need it? Wire at once"
And then the theater-going public
of Wilkesbarre was treated to the
spectacle Of a young woman from
Washington in violent fit of hyster-
ics.-Washington Post.
