DAY NURSERY FOR BABIES
HAS HAD A BUSY YEAR

The annual report Of the Day Nursery
and Hospital for Babies, at No. 207 WASH
ington street, which is being prepared for
presentation next month, will be one OF
the most encouraging reports Of the in
stitution since it's establishment The
splendid work OF the hospital and nursery
in behalf Of sick. homeless. friendless
babies and children less than three years
Of age has never been more potent than
since its last yearly report, and It has
become q fitting expression Of the char
ity Of the prominent Wilmingtonians In
terested in it's work. It's SUCCESS is pecu-
liarly gratifying as being in large mea-
sure the result Of the devotion Of the late
Bishop Coleman.
A visit TO the hospital would be a
valuable object lesson 10 mothers. Such
Is the mode Of treatment and manage
ment. that only three deaths have occur
red each year for the last three years.
This is largely due. Of course. to the fact
that the treatment consists Of plenty OF
fresh air, regular eating and exercise,
rather than the free use OF patent
"syrups" and "tonics."
Use the Dispensary.
Encouraged by their success Of the last
several years the officers Of the institu-
tion are now seeking q wider field Of en-
deavor and are trying to have the dispen-
sary connected with the hospital brought
to the attention OF the public For some
time II has been the regret of the man.
ayers that the dispensary has not beer
more largely patronized by mothers and
during the coming year an effort will be
made particularly to give this department
OF the institution its widest possible use
fulness.
The institution grew from a day nur.
sery established in 1890 in connection with
St. Michaers Episcopal Church by tn
Rev. A. I. dupont Coleman. son OF tn,
late Bishop Coleman. and he was ma
terially aided by the latter in bringing tn
institution to the Importance and valu
It has attained. The day nursery soon out
grew its original quarters and was re

MAY END FREE
RIDES OVER BRIDGE

The free and lndiscriminate riding on
Pennsylvania Railroad trains over the
Susquehanna river between Havre de
Grace and Perryville will be stopped II
a bill introduced IN the Maryland House
OF Delegates by MT Lawder becomes
law.
With the abolition Of FREQ fares across
the Susauehanna River thcre will dis
appear a privilege which Is as old as
the charter for the construction OF the
bridge. In that charter was a clause
making the bridge free to all pas
sengers. The railroad company was
required TO stos qil trains az Havre
de Grace and Perryville TO take on
and let off passengers, most OF whom
were bent on free rides. BY an act OF
1854 two trains each way daily were
exempted from the act Since then
other trains have been exempted and
now a further reduction is proposed.

ton OF the women folks is true wher-

ut takes two to make a quarrel"
remarked Mrs. wiseleigh as she wiped
away Mrs. Flutterby's tears.
That young matron had Just been
through another quarrel with her bet
ter half. He had gone out without
saying goodby, and the front door had
slammed viciously behind him.
"H-m-mr' muttered the excellent
Mrs. Wiseleigh after she heard the de-
tails. when you saw he was in a
bad humor why didn't you leave him
alone2"
T-I-felt 80 badly Just had to
speak to him." sobbed foolish Mrs.
Flutterby.
There you areP exclaimed the older
woman. Lack Of self controll tell
you what" she went on, ''if kept a
girls school would spend less time
in teaching conchology and botany and
more in grounding my pupils in good,
old fashioned self control. It would
certainly do them more good in after
life. Just look at the girls nowadays,
my dear, and notice how many OF
them lack It altogether. They are
ddgety. bysterical. and. instead Of al
lowing the masculine sex to run after
them, as the Creator wisely intended,
they are simply crazy for attention and
make themselves cheap because they
haven't enough self control to wait
for It.
Divorces were never so frequent in
the old days. I can tell you. Women
had self control then. They learned
when it was wise to keep silence. There
were no Quarrels as there are now.
Women had more dignity, and their
self control gave them a queenly air
which commanded more respect and
attention than all the Trades OF their
descendants ever can. If you Just lis
ten to an old woman, my dear, you will
learn to practice self control. You will
soon be too well grounded IN it to an
swer back, and quarrels WIFI die out
IN your household because. as observ-
ed before, It takes two people to make
them"
