Embroidered Net.

Many of the new summer frocks
will be made of heavy net embroid-
cred in cart wheels. Plain white floss
will be used, singly or triple, and the
work need not be done by expert
hands. 1t looks very much like rough
darning.

GOOD PLAN FOR A HENHOUSE.
It Is a Very Simple Matter After
You Have Once Seen II
Done.

To lay out plan for henhouse is
a very simple matter after you once
see it done, says a writer in the Ru-
raj New Yorker. Set posts (marked
one on plan), three at each corner, back
about six feet from proposed site of
building, and nail a board to each
post about four feet above the ground.
Drive the nails in board at 2 and 8;
draw strong string across and secure

Let the Horses hun.

1t is a mistake to keep either young
or old horses stabbed several days
at a time. They need daily outdoor
exercise for development of muscle
and bones. If the pasture is too short
for them to run in, allow them daily
exercise in an open lot. Work horses
often become stiff by standing too
long in the stall.

boys in way that might or might not
count; but everybody recalled that
both girls were 16 when Eliza Alice
engineered Samantha Ann out of the
church choir after hearing someone re-
mark that Samantha Ann was the bet
ter singer. OF course that stirred UP
an awful rumpus, and the congrega-
ton took sides on the matter which
resulted in the preacher handing In
his resignation.
The next one they hired was a
young man just out of college. He
was unmarried, and the church trus-
tees reasoned that If he called on
Eliza Alice oftener than was neces-
sary to make up schedule of the
music for the next Sunday they could
call in justice of the peace, or some
other hitching artist, to make them
one, and thus avoid the talk that al

about what a fine couple they would
make-all but Eliza Alice; she pulled
Pa Jones leg for the price of brand

the hum of the sewing machine was
heard in the Jones home.

The Story of Samantha
Ann and Eliza Alice
BY HIRAM RICE

The scheduled time for the arrivals
OF Samantha Ann and Eliza Alice
were so near the same that the stork
took the liberty of running double
header, thus saving himself an extra
trip.
Samantha Ann and Eliza Alice cut
their teeth at the same time. so their
mothers had little opportunity to hang
over the backyard fence and COM
pare notes; but when the mud pie
period arrived they made up for lost
time. The first GOODNESS became no
tfceable during the Sunday school
epoch. Each mother endeavored to
dress her offspring better than the
other, and it was remarked by the
regular little lady, while Eliza Al
ice would go home with one stocking
down and the other at half mast, her
pig tail ribbons streaming, and tear
in the new dimity gown that her
mother had worked on till nearly mid
night to have ready for Sunday.
BY the time the school period had
come there was trail of white frost
along the top of the backyard fence
between the Smith and Jones lots
Samantha Ann was developing into
a pretty little girl. while Eliza Alice
was going the other way as fast as
she could. She had enough red hair
to stuff a mattress, a turned-up nose
and 50.freckles to each square inch
of facial epidermis
A sudden change came over Eliza
Alice when she was about IA. The
clerk in the village store reported
to his wife that she had bought a
pair of corsets, and her next new
dress was ankle length. She began to
talk to the other girls about her
figure, put her hair up. and tease her
father for money to buy freckle re-

had her first beau, because she was

Il tells of active times about Milford.
large new canning factory is being completed
the Lumber Company has been busy during the
spring manufacturing baskets and crates; the
ship yards are alive with work, two phosphate
factories are running at full time and half dozen
other industries some of which are important are
employing every woman and child i'll Milford,
who will work.
"There is no idle labor in Mifork says the
Chronicle Except those who will not accept
steady employment. Milford has no need for
iders and her people are generally happy
This is a pretty picture OF the live town along
the Mispillion and the same might be said OF some
other towns in lower Delaware, though Milford,
perhaps, leads them as an industrial center.
There is however, no apparent reason why other
Delaware towns which enjoy the same advan-
tages should not have as many industries in oper-
alton as has Milford
Fortunate is Milford that every one who wants
work can get it in the town. The larger cities
have told a different story, but the outlook is
that it will soon be thing of the past
