here am struck with the number who re-
turn from year to year. having been bene.
hted by the healing waters, or to enjoy
the quiet rest of shaded lawns and de-
lightful cool nights where one can sleep
and forget the heat and hustle of city
life. 1t is lovely sight to see the lit
tie folks running and skipping over the
beautiful grassy lawn shaded by these
majestic oaks and hickories and hear
their laughter of pleasure and delight.
Couples, generally a lass and laddie,
can be seen here and there with chairs
turned tete-a-tete engaged in very
serious and earnest conversation
Our genial host and hostess certainly do
all in their power to make it pleasant
and comfortable for their guests.
Last night a surprise awaited us, which
gave many the opportunity of seeing, for
the first time in their lives, a genuine
darkey cake walk After the guests had
danced till they felt inclined to sit down
for rest, the chief of the kitchen, at
tired in full evening dress, came in and
placed on the centre table very large
and handsomely decorated cake. Then, to
the touch of Georgia Camp Meeting, beau
tlfully rendered by the Misses Croker,
came forward a half dozen couples of
dusky dudes and damsels, some arrayed
in gaudy stage attire one man represent
ing very creditably Uncle Sam.
This was truly laughable and enjoy
able feature. The very competent judges
Mr.. Chas. Webb, of Athens, Ga, and
Madames Dodsworth and Saddler, of
Charlotte, awarded the prize to one of
the fair GU contestants, who certainly
won it with merit.

sPRINKLlNe WAGONS.
The Modern Ones a Bis Improvement
ON the Old style.

The modern sprinkling wagon Is very
different from the old timer. The chief
improvement Is IN the spray head,
which enables the driver TO control the
how of water much better than the old
style. Thus. whether II Is a dirt or a
macadam road OF a stone paved or as
phalted street. there can be supplied
from the modern street sprinkler just
the amount Of water required TO lay
the dust in Il without waste.
The spray head on each side has its
own valve rod running TO the drivers
seat. With step there for the foot.
The driver can operate both heads at
once, or he can run only one head. He
can shut or one or open either one at
pleasure. with this sort Of wagon the
expert driver leaves behind him dry
crosswalks with perfectly defined linn
its, and when he comes 20 a carriage or
street car upon which he doesn't
want 10 throw water he shuts on the
flow on that side and keeps me other
going. Sprinkling wagons are made In
various sizes. ranging from $50 gallons
TO 1.O0O gallons capacity. There are 20
spTinkiiHg wagons sold In this country
nowadays where there We're was one
sold only n few years ago. This great
increase in their use is due in large
measure TO sanitary reasons, TO the
great extension OF good roads and e
the common desire for comfort.
Sprlnkllng wagons are used nova
days commonly IN many smaller towns
and villages where they were never
thought of some years ago. And Amer
lean sprlnkling wagons are now found
all over the world wherever sprlnl1llnl
wagons are used.
They are exported TO Australia. Gu
ba, Porto Rico, South America, Soutl
Africa and Europe. The modern sprln
king wagon that the traveller chances
10 see In Paris or Berlin or Hamburg
came very likely from the same factor.

WOMAN'S REALM
ldrieA 70 Simmer Bathers

"This is the time that women Cughl
10 utilize in taking swimming lessons,
said the instructor in a swimming
school recently. BY beginning now
any woman in fair health can become
. GOOD swimmer before starting on hel
Summer vacation.
Women learn to swim more quickly
than men. and if they would realize
how well they are adapted to float we
should have fewer drownOng accidents
at the Summer resorts. We regard the
bones in the human body as the sink
ers. and as women, as a rule, have
smaller and lighter bones than men,
they float more easily. My advice in
case Of falling into the water is to
keep every part OF the body under
water but the head. and the water
itself will hold one on the surface.
lThe body is light while it is in the
water. as any one knows who has
watched the bathers at the seashore
gently lifted up and down when they
stand beyond the breakers. but az
soon as any part Of the body is lifted
out of the water it is heavy and acts a.
a sinker to push down the submerged
parta.
when a woman falls overheard, the
FIRST thing she does is to empty her
lungs by shouting 'Helpl' Then she
throws up her hands frantically, and
by their weight above the head sue
ceeds in keeping it under water, and
thus is drowned. II woman will re-
tain enough presence OF mind to KEEP
down her hands and move herself
around gently on her back, she can
breathe and float for hours, whether shl
knows how to swim or not, for women
do not need TO learn to float; they can
do it naturally il they try. Especially
Is this the case In salt water, which /,
heavier than the fresh, and so hold,
up the weight more readily"

There is very little difference be-
tween a pound and a guinea; only q

insists that the shilling shall be consid-

says that he called upon the novelist

Ills Band and Makes a Hit

Unusually well-selected were the pro-
grams of music presented by Lambiase's
Royal Venetian Band in Brandywine
Springs Park yesterday afternoon and
evening and the large audiences present
showed their appreciation by frequent
applause.
Perhaps the most delightful feature
of the days program was the rendition
of selections in which anvils took a
part The Forge in the Forest" and
the anvil chorus from III Trovatore"
especially were well received Profess
Isor Lambiase will present programs
every night this week in which the
anvil work will be introduced. The
band has developed a reputation second
to none that has appeard before a VIII
mington audience and the efficient
leader is receiving congratulations to
this end almost daily. The organiza-
ton will remain at the Springs until
the close OF the resort on September
10.
The band stand has been tastefully
decorated by a member of the band.
