AN INFORMAL
AFFAIR
By A. M. Davies Ogden
Copyright, 1905. by Ruby Douglas

The CLANS were just being uncov-
cred. and n mingled odor of seaweed,
potatoes and other things cooking bus
fly away was borne deliciously on
the breeze. Little Mile. de Saint
Cyr looked about her. The long table
spread under the trees was covered
with a white cloth and piled with
dishes. Overhead the leaves rustled
freshly, and out beyond the SOUND,
all blue and gold in the sunset light,
rippled and splashed upon great gray
rocks where the fire curled away into
a wide feather of smoke.
The French girl drew a quick breath
Of appreciation. How beautiful Amer

United States. and on landing l n
New York Mile. de Saint Cyr had
come directly to her aunt's place on
the Connecticut shore. She was a
young aunt, only a few years older
than Aline, and with a young and
Jolly husband. Aline found herself
caught at once into a round of gay out
door life, q round which bewildered,
yet charmed.
Owing to a breakdown Of the motor
car, they had been a bit late in arriv-
ing at the clambake. The guests were
already seated, and Mrs. Redvers, the
hostess. made a hasty Introduction OF
the newcomers. She had ratified
through a confusing number OF names,
then pointed to some grimy. collarless
young men bending over the fire.
"And those are the cooks and wait
ers," she cried merrily.
Mile. de Saint Cyr eyed them curl
ousiy as they brought over to the table
great platters heaped with steaming
clans. She never before had seen such
untidy walters, Everything at her
aunt's had been conventional enough.
Here at last was America more as she
had pictured it to herself. A young

small dark mustache ran behind the
chairs.

by the girl, regarding her with evident
approval. take some of this; it's
good" he said frankly. Mile. de Saint
Cyr looked at him In surprise. But per-
haps this was American too. And the
sauce did look good.
THANK you." she said gravely. The
young man ran on. But presently he
returned. "fhe Holsters are ready"
ne called, and there was rapid shifting
Of plates.
How good everything tasted-the de-
licious chicken, the tender corn, the
hot potatoes and through them all the
faint, indetinable saltish flavor of the
seaweed! 1t was certainly great fun.
And yet 1t was so utterly unlike any
thing the girl ever had known In
France. Straight from a convent school,
this sudden freedom q rAmericaine
was at first a bit frightening. She ate
demurely, watching the people about
her with bright, curious eyes.
The young man who had helped her
to the sauce came back and dropped
into an empty seat beside her, bring
Ing a well filed plate for himself.
Tn just about starved" he inform
ed her. "I've been working so hard all
day."
Aline glanced about her. The other
collarless youths were now also seated
at the table, eating and talking busily.
Perhaps this was the custom at clam
bakes. But how odd!

sweet, sympathetic little voice. 81 SUD-
pose you do not have to work SO hard

Aline looked at him with a serious
smile.
Il am sure you underestimate your
SELF" she said kindly. Il do not see
how any one In y%our-your profession
she put 1t delicately-"can be very
lazy"
An expressive shrug answered her.

Out ana Come Again.

A Quaker in taking his usual walk
before dinner CHANGED to meet with a
friend whom he had not seen for a
long time, and. after a hearty shake OF
the hand and a little friendly CONVEX
sation, he asked the friend in the usual
mode to go home with him, saying:
Friend. wilt thou go and stick thy
fork in my pudding todayf"
The friend replied In the affirmative.
Thank thee, neighbor, l will" And SO
the two Quakers trudged of home to.

In consequence of the friend being
just or a journey and a good trencher-

Lack OF Help flinders Farmers

Scarcity of labor is becoming a ser
ious problem to Delaware farmers. and
they see no prospects of relief New
Castle County farmers are complaining
greatly of this lack, and some of the
most prominent farmers are retiring
because they cannot secure dependable
help. Several of the finest of the large
farms in this county are for rent. and
there is trouble in getting tenants.
The past year was exceptionally hard
on the farmers. owing to the almost
total failure of the fruit crops, and to
make the burden worse. the growers
believe that the price of grain will be
low this year.

HITS OLD MANAGEMENT
Investigation Committee Appointed BY
New York Life to Probe Its
Own Affairs.

New York, Feb. 9.-The report of tho
special investigation committee of tho
New York Life Insurance company. APP
pointed by trustees to investigate the COM
pany's affairs. made today was adopted
unanimously by tho trIRtoes.
1t condemned the former management
OF tho company and recommended various
reforms.
The committee states 1t has nlada
with the loyal and efficient aid of tho
company's officers q thorough and ex1
haustive examination of the relations
of Andrew Hamilton. the legislative
agent with the company and believes
it has obtained all the information
about this subject accessible. Pay
ments OF money to Hamilton are gono
into. For none OF these payments, the;
committee states. is there any other
receipt or voucher than that given by
Hamilton. and no evidence from which
the committee or officers OF the com!
pany can state to whom or on what &C.
casion. or for what specific purpose the
sums received by Hamilton were paid
out by him.
An average annual sum of $4,000
was paid to Hamilton from 1896 to 1906
inclusive. Whether this was unreason-
ably excessive the committee has no
means of determining. Generalities Of
Hamilton's Paris statement furnish no
MD in forming a conclusion on the sub
'ct. The report says 1t may be that a
treat bulk of the sum annually dis.
bursed by Hamilton was used for le-
ultimate legislative purposes. The com-
tnttee has no information that any OF
- was put to illegitimate uses.
