II contains a single letter. the capital
letter of ones family name
This letter should net exceed three
quarters OF an inch in size
The seal itself is oval. not more than
a quarter OF an inch at its longest part.
The latest fashion in sealing is to make
two imprints Of wax, on each corner of
the envelope flap.
The seal should be slanted across the
corner, not put on straight up and down.
Never glue an envelope with the much
lage ON the flap, when you use wax.
Tho idea is to ignore this mucilage and
use only the wax
The popular color just now is bright
green. suggestive Of spring
Most women who use the wax have
their own individual color. which they
always use.
As much individuality may be expressed
in this way as by the selection of station

ST. JONES' CREEK BOAT MEN
UP AGAINST BRIDGETENDERS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER. Del, MAY PA number OF
river motor boat owners and sailors have
petitioned the War Department to COM
pei the Levy Court Of Kent county to
keep bridgetenders at Barkers' and other
drawbridges along and across the St.
Jones' river. Some OF the bridges have
bridgetenders. but the boatmen make
complaint to the War Department that
hese tenders demand an extra fee or dc
not pay any attention TO the appeals to
open.
The boat owners have also put State
Patrolman j. S. Boggs, the FISH police
man as he is better known. after the
creek fishermen who lay or or stake
nets in the stream and leave them all
night. The boats pick up these nets In
their wheels and both boats and nts are
usually badly damaged.
In both instances, the boat owners
claim, the parties are violating the laws
concerning the stoppage Of navigabls

Patent leather In Millinery.

Patent leather viii be used more and
more for trimming.
Hats are made OF it, particularly in the
sailor shape, although this is not a par
ucularly new idea.
one such hat, seen on the street not long
ago, was of sailor shape, with a plain
band Of black ribbon around it, and a big
bunch Of double violets tackled upon one
side.
a departure in this line is the green pat
ent leather hat.
One of the most exclusive shops in town
is showing it, trimmed only with a band
OF gros-grain ribbon.
A motor hat seen lately was OF green
leather, faced with fine straw and trim
med with folds Of patent leather yelled
with chiffon.
scoop-shaped motor bonnets are made
Of the same material.
Patent leather is also used on straw
hats in folds or drsperles much like a
scarf.

TWO PICTURES.
In a New York gallery there recent
ly hung two pictures by the Spanish
artist sorolla Y Bastida.
One was picture of sunshine.
In this picture the artist flooded the
yalencian sea and shore with the
splendor Of June. The sunburst falls
in great brilliancy upon the bronzed
faces Of fishermen In their gorgeously
colored plaid skirts. The luminous
brightness lights up the shiny coats Of
the stolid oxen. It touches with gid
ing the white foamed waves as they
break inshore. 1t transforms the flap
ping sails of the fishermen's boats into
cloth of gold. The waters beneath are
illumined, and the golden air holds up
a purely azure sky.
At a glance you understand. It is
sunshine and happinessl
The other picture by Sorolla is At
companion piece. Beneath II is writ
ten:
"A Sad Inheritance"
There is no sunshine I'm this picture.
It's pervading color is not gold, but
gray. The same sea and strand are
shown, stretching out to a forbid
ding horizon. Grewsome shadows lurk
in the depths Of the dsrk waters, and
over all looms a threatening sky.
That is the background Of this awe
some picture.
In the foreground are the nude fig
ures of a dozen afflicted boys, come
down to take the sea air-boys who
have inherited the curse OF sinful par

hideously deformed; some are cripplei
with pitifully enlarged joints. A blacl
ROBBED priest is helping a diseased
youth on clutches. These boys arr

parentage that has brought upon then
disease and pain and early doom.

For Cracked Heels.

For cracked heels soak the feet in warm
water a few minutes and Apply equal parts
of rose water and glycerine to the heels
and side Of the feet for three or four
nights.
The feet are injured by their being
always so closely confined.
While few persons will adopt the
barefoot fad. even for the privacy u
ones room, it is well to get into the
habit of wearing sandals about your
room whenever you are to be in it for
any length of time.
In this way feet get an air bath

as he had planned. as an example Of
democracy The railroads of@Texas,
however, are not disposed to take the
risk of transporting the presidents car

Word reached Washington recently
that the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
management in Texas has fatty de-
clined to take chances In attaching Mr..
Taft's car to the regular fast trains on
his forthcoming journey. Instead they
will supply dining car and another
to keep the train steady, attach the

train will act as pilot, and in case Of
accident the presidents party will es-

1t is not unlikely that other southern
roads will adopt the same policy. The
president intended to travel as plainly
as possible. eschewing private trains,
and to study the people Of the south.

HOW Attraction, Acts.

Attraction acts very curiously. Thus
If there were a man IN the moon and
if he were like the men on the earth
he would be able to leap over a three
stored house with as much ease as
an ordinary jumper springs over a
three foot fence in consequence of the
forces Of attraction being much less
at the moons surface than at the
earth's. An elephant there would be
as light footed as the deer here. A
boy throwing stones might easily land
them in an adjoining county. On the
other hand. the reverse Of all this
would happen in Jupiter or Saturn.
They being so much greater than the
earth, their attraction would so i'm
pede lecomotion that man would
scarcely be able to crawl, and large
animals would be crushed by their
own weight. IT,. .vEva -. -

'"rhis is quite untrue" says the Med

vigorous men among the habitants OF
Canada who had never taken full
bath in their lives. Were the truth
known, many thousands of our fellow
citizens probably know nothing of the
alleged benefits of. the tub, though
