BROUGHT TO TERMS

In telling about "Some People l Have
Married" in the Ladies' Home Journal
for June. the Rev. d. NJ. Steele says:
"Being an Episcopalian, l always use the
formal printed service of the prayerbook.
In thi. the greatest stickler is obey
One d4, a couple came to me, bringing
as witnesses the parents OF both prlde
and groom. Everything proceeded
smoothly to the point love, honor and
obey,' when the bride refused to say the
last. l repeated it and waited. Again
she refused and shut up my book. linen
there was scene. They talked it over,
and the more seriously they argued and
discussed the more stubbornly she re-
fused. The parents became angry, the
groom excited and the bride hysterical
To humor her he joined in the request to
have me leave it out. But l liked the
fellow and decided that little sternness
from me in the present might be favor
to him in the future. So l told them l
had no authority to change it and would
not do so. l tried to show the foolish
ness of her objection, but it was no use.
Finally said to him: Well, this house
hold must have a head somewhere. |
will leave it out for her if you will say it.
Then it was his time to refuse, which he
did. He gathered up his hat and started
for the door, when, presto, change! she
sprang after him, led him back by the
hand, looked meekly up at him and said
it.'
Embarrassment" adds the writer,
''appears to be the natural concomitant |
of matrimony. At least this is true in
the incipient stages. Invariably, how
ever, there is striking contrast between
the relative composure of the man and
the woman. Both are nervous, but never
both at the same time. If they come a
week beforehand to make arrangements
she is ratified and he is cool; while on the
day of the ceremony she rises to the
occasion and he sinks under it. Thus l
have never seen bride who was scared;
l have never seen groom who was not. =

.BERRIEs SUFFER

The storm the first of the week may
cause great amount of damage to berries
and fruits on the peninsula. The berries
have been in blossom, and in many
places the fruit which had always at
tanned its growth, is rotting from the
rains. The extent Of the damage will
not be known for several days. The
average grower fears that the Virginia
and Maryland berries may come in with
rush when the local supply ripens and
thus ruin prices.
Early vegetables are very late. The
beets, radishes and other vegetables have
made but little growth. The result is a
better price for the vegetables. Potatoes
are suffering much from the rains and
many have rotted. The peach and pear
orchards show great loss Of buds, which
have about closed. The cold weather
and rain have rotted many of the buds.
Apples are faring better. The trees are
looking well.

FAHEY GETS CONTRACT

The New Castle county Levy Court at
meeting Saturday afternoon awarded
the contract TO Patrick Fahey for the pill
ing and sheathing of Silver Run road in
St. Georges hundred. The contract price
is $500, being $50 below the bid of the
only other bidder, Robert r. Morrison.
There were several bidders for the suE-
plying of pilings and sheathing but as
the Levy Court did not care about doing
theS work itself it awarded the contract
for the whole job to Mr.. Fahey.
Silver Run road has cost New Castle
county $4,000 and yet is almost impass-
able. Silver Run in years gone by emp
tied into the Delaware river and the road
was then in good condition. But the
high tides in the Delaware raised the
waters of Silver Run and as consequence
the banks were broken and the marshes
on both sides Of the Silver Run Road
were flooded. To such an extent have
the banks been reduced that the steady
flow of water washes constantly against
both sides of the road and thereby
washes part of itaway. Some time ago
County Commissioner Armstrong called
the attention of the Levy Court to the
condition of the road. He was author
lied to advertise for bids with the result
above. There are about 800
feet of the road to be sheathed after pill
ing are driven, eight feet apart
The members of the Levy Court visited
the road on Friday and were surprised at
the wretched condition in which it is at
present. Unless the banks OF Silver Run
are rebuilt it will require strict attention
to keep the road in order. The sluices
that formerly protected Silver Run are all
washed away. When the Levy Court
visited the road they
were met by several of the property
owners along the run. After viewing the /
road the party drove to the shore and
Jaw the remains of the old banks and |
listened to the propositions Of the farm
srs. Should the county bear one-half
he cost of rebuilding the banks the
farmers are willing to do the same. After
he road is sheathed and plsnked an at
,empt may be made to have the banks
'ebuilt in order to prevent any further
;rouble. Star.

Literary Note

In almost every walk of life there have
been great women. But has there ever
been woman who has reached the very
highest pinnacle in any field? In the
June Cosmopolitan Ella Wheeler Wilcox
answers this question in the negative and
declares that even in the essentially femi-
nine vocations of cooking, dressmaking
and millinery men excel women.
"Women" says Mrs. Wilcox, "have not
the concentration which gives a clear
perspective. They lack system and pa
thence and are distracted by details or
turned aside by vanity"
