The Camden Union Camp Ground is
one Of the most desirable in the country
for campmeetings. the grove being stud
ded with lofty, white oak, red oak, chest
nut and tall maple shade trees, so high
from age that fresh air can circulate
abundantly beneath them. During the
war Of the Rebellion, a brigade Of enlist

Indiana volunteers, spent an entire season
there and used up such Of the woods that

The campmeetings have been held regg-
larly since the ground was decided TO the
Camden Union Camp Ground Association
OF the Methodist Episcopal Church of
Delaware and Philadelphia, but the meet

cause a majority of the board held that
they were becoming too costly and also
because the cause of the church was not

being social frolics."
In Dover and the districts which were
represented by laymen at the camp
ground yesterday there is a strong sem
timent for a campmeeting. and one Of the
directors goes so far as to say that If
the present board cannot undertake to
hold campmeeting each ought to resign
from the directorate in favor of new di-
rectors who could carry on this popular
meeting as was the desire Of the original
owners OF the grove who decided it to

An interesting obiter dictum upon an

gentleman" only for the purpose Of
emphasizing his agreeable qualities or
of dividing him from those at the
other end of the social scale. who make
no claim TO breeding This is at least
an intelligent classification. 1t Is clear
that on these terms such a phrase as
gentleman friend Is forbidden. II a
woman admits a man to her friendship
he is presumably a gentleman, and it

that fact. Gentleman friend should

real lady "a man / know" is sufficient

be called a woman" and vice versa?
Here too, an effective rule ls laid down.
1t Is entirely says the Chronicle a mat

us he Is engaged. we ask, not -WhO
is the woman2" but who is the lady?"
Nor do we say that we mot "a woman

mere fact that we have met her I'm
such circumstances attests her right to
be called lady. "But introduce the ad-
jective, and the lady is at once a
pretty woman. a well-dressed wOman,
rather a dull woman" It should be
noted In parenthesis that these three
adjectives need not he taken as apply
literally to a single person A pretty
