pensive new models Of meteor is larEe
and FNund and its LAnter is tiny mirror

these buttons we're seen was not for

ent Of Dry Goods, therefore we may
possibly see them on the clothing Of
ultrafashionables before the season is
very far advanced.
Boas of natural roses or orchids or
any other flower Of goodly size and
general popularity are now fad in
Paris, and this is probably the embryo
of what will later become a full-fedged
fashion in artificial flowers, helped out
as softener by crushed rosettes Of
intertwlnings of malines of shades
matching the blossoms.
Just now, to show the excluslveness
of the fad, the clever Parisian now and
then absentmindedly (O plucks few
petals from her boa, daintily inhales
their fragrance or crushes them between
her pearly teeth, and then also absent

foot the floral bill seem pleased with
this new way of Speeding their dollars.
And the nOn-milli"naires? Well, they
are concentrating" on the hope that
some less expensive way Of presenting
their lady loves with flowers will de-

As a fashion the rose or orchid boa,
however, is exquisite.
The new gloves for evening In the
high novelty class are Of white heauti-
fully embroidered in floral and classic
designs In natural and oriental cOlorings

designs metal effects in tiny spangles Of
fine shining threads are introduced.

"Ah, an very good. That is so like

CHAPTER III.

People said Miss Carrington's Wednes
days were always fine, that she had bet
ter fortune in that respect than other
folk, and certainly the weather favored
her on this occasion, for it was the very
perfection of June afternoon, with plen-
ty of sunshine and freshness to mitigate
the heat.
These Wednesdays were very popular
In the neighborhood. Miss Darlington
was a charming hostess; she had just
the right knack of entertaining people;
she welcomed them heartily, put them
at their ease with themselves and other
people, then left them to be as free as
her own butterflies. The little wicket gate
between Moss-side and Fernleigh was al
ways set open on these occasions; Miss
CarringtOn's lawn was devoted to lawn
tennis; when they had finished their game
the young people were welcome to stroll
through Mr.. Moore's garden, and make
themselves at home in the cozy hooks and
shady seats with which it abounded.
AS a general rule, Mr.. Moore seldom
mingled with the guests his habits were
those of the recluse. A few of his old
friends who were sure of their welcome
and one or two of his younger favorites,
would sometimes cross the threshold and
keep him company in the cool shaded
room.
To these he would speak Of his boy

ess and courage, and often making men.
ton of his pupil Alison. or as he called
her, Sunny, for the young girl had been
a veritable sunbeam to her old tutor, MAX
ing his darkened hours pass more quick
ly by her ready sympathy and aptitude
for learning.
On this afternoon he was not alone.
A young man in light gray summer suit
with a sunburnt, handsome face, was
standing by the window looking at the
knots of people already gathering on
Miss Carringtons lawn, with a humor-
GUS, half-vexed expression in his wide
open blue eyes.
"What a lot of people" he grumbled
"I believe all Riverston is there; there
are three boats full, and two sets OF
lawn tennis forming, and | do not know
how many more there goes Miss Merle

father, that | forgot all about Miss Car

"Why, the more the merrier. is no'

the mouth OF the Christiana. The boat
was opportunely near the wharf on its
way out 10 the ship. one of tho men
caught the boy by the hair. pulled him
into the boat and boosted him up on
the wharf, where his first inquiry was
for his fishing line. This wharf was
used for the discharge Of cargoes OF
lumber; at the time OF this incident
il was filled with lumber belonging to
William Graves one of the leading
builders Of that day There was a ship
yard at the old ferry. or close by.
Thomas Young, afterward mayor OF the
city, built small steamboats, then
boats of a style callod hoop boats. A
small steamer OF that style--possibly--
named Oceola was one OF the predeces-
sors Of the Ulrica of tho Wilmington
and Pcnnsgrovo ferry.
The old Swedish ferry house has en-
tirely disappeared. and with Il almost
every house that tradition connected
with the Swedes. There was a tail

by one OF the late Swedish builders.

Of Walnut street az Spring Alley. arc

OF the houses bearing tho Swedish
marks i'm architecture stood on the
present site of the police patrol station.
They were torn down 10 or 20 years
ago either to make room for the stable.

very last of the Swedish houses that
can be with any certainty Identified
as such TO connect our local history with
one Of the most momentous epochs In
history. with the name and deeds OF
one Of the worlds greatest military
heroes and statesmen--one who was as
good as he was great.
II Is a matter Of regretable history
that Queen Christiana of Sweden failed
to realize the great things that we're
hoped for from the daughter Of so H.
lustrious a father. She resigned her
authority as queen and wandered over
Europe finally abandoning the faith Of
her father and countrymen She died In
1889 an exile from Sweden, a pensioner
Of the Pope. and was buried in ST.
/ Peters at Rome.

historically important than is her tomb
and high sounding epitaph in st. Peters

1t is probable that no better class OF
Icolonists ever came to this country than
were the swedes. They did not come
as exiles. were not driven from home
by persecution, but came at a royal
command as the representatives Of the
then most powerful nation in Europe.
They were honest. peaceful and rellg-
ious. They anticipated the now world
famous peaceful policy of William Penn.
and his Quaker colonists. by fifty years.
There is no record Of any Swedish Col
onial incident like that of the Penn
Treaty. made famous by Benjamin
Vests great painting. But there is no
need of any serious dispute or misun-
derstanding between the Swedes and
tho Indians upon whose lands they set
tied. The family names of these colon
lists are still eXtant in this city and
throughout the county. There were ten
colonial expeditions sent out from
Sweden to America before the colonial
scheme was abandoned. and what is
now Old Swedes Church. built in 1893
remained a Lutheran Church, served by
pastors sent out by royal command from
sweden. for nearly a hundred years.

The misspelling Of the name Of Queen
Christine Of Denmark, over the sale of
whose portrait by Hobien, to an Amer
lean for s305.00O, and its probable re-
moval to this country, the people of
England are said to be making much
ado, is likely to confound tho name
with that of Queen Christiana of Swed-
en- who succeeded her father, the heroic
Gustavus Adolphus OF Sweden.wh was
the originator of the Swedish Ameri-
can colonization scheme of which the
Swedish settlement on the Delaware
was the fruit
The Queen of Sweden seems to have
been a far more important and inter
esting parsonage, historically, than
Queen Christine of Denmark. Chris
tiana became Queen of Sweden upon
the death of her father who was killed
at the battle of Lutzen in 1882. Tho king
had conceived his scheme for founding
a new Sweden in America, probably
looking forward to it as a refuge for
his people in case Of the defeat Of the
protestant armies, of which he was the
commander. Having no male heir to
succeed him Gustavus Adolphus began
the education of his daughter as he
would have educated boy, destined
TO reign in his stead. At ten years of
age she dressed in boy s clothes and was
accustomed 20 hunt and make long
trips an horseback and on foot. Not
withstanding all this she was an apt
scholar. versed in the sciences and IN
ancient and modern languages. She
did not assume the powers of govern
ment until 1914 twelve years after her
fathers death and four years after the
landing of the first Swedish settler on
the Delaware in 1888. She was there
fore Queen Of the New Sweden con-
sisting of parts of the territories Of
the States of Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and Delaware, a fact that connects
Delaware history. and particularly the
city Of Wilmington with one Of the
most interesting and important periods
Of the worlds history and some of its
most notable personages. 1t was Queen
Christiana that concluded the peace of
Westphalia, and ended the great thirty
years war in 164S. During her reign,
and that of her immediate successor on
the throne of Sweden, ten colonial ex-
peditions were dispatched to America.
The queens name is imper-
ishably woven in Delaware his

first settlement in what is now
the borders of this city, Christianaham.

MARRY in May

This proverb which originated in the
north Of England many, many years

guilty dictator against marrying dur

Another superstition predicts:-
