"KETCH-AWLS S"FROM EVERYWHERE

1t is generally wise to believe the
best of people from whom we differ.
and not the worst. We may sometimes
be mistaken in our judgment. but bet
ter err on the side of charity than on
the side of adverse prejudice. Proba-
bly, most misunderstandings arise from
the tendancy to think evil of those who
oppose us.-BedfOrd Democrat.
Men and women don't need to swing
clubs to threaten home concords. The
husband. armed with a sneer. and the
wife who carries waspish tongue, are
just as well comparisoned for death
dealing battle, as though they pounded
each other with base ball bats. Sar-
casm and nagging are TO the atmos-
phere of love what sand-fiies and fieas
are to summer weather. Who would
not prefer an occasional brush with q
roaring June bug, to the eternal tor
ment of flea you can't catch?
1t must be awful to have good ears
and not be able to hear. just because
our minds are so full of hate and worry
and imaginary trouble, that sounds go
unheeded. 1t is the soul that hears and
sees. The same ears and eyes that
could hear and see are useless when the
soul has fled. The soul sees things by
means of eyes and by means of faith.
Don't be one of those about whom it
was said Having eyes ye see not. "
Look and listen and think THE king
dom of heaven is within you. Buster
Brown.

A HAPPY REUNION.

How swiftly the years roll by! 1t does
not take long for 80 years to pass. or
even 40. When the years grow short.
and when it pleases US to be told we
look young, it is said we are beginning
to grow old. However, the last twelve
months have flown by, and we find our
selves again enjoying a summer outing
on the Great Wicomico. There was a
"Russelling" time out on the lawn under
the trees at the delightful home of Mr..
and Mrs. w. l.. Russell when FIVE men,
bers of the family met again. Besides
the grown son, w. II. Russell, and two
younger children. May and Floyd, there
were j. T. Russell and son, Sidney
Paul, of Baltimore, S. S. Russell. of
Mia. Mrs. j. S. Hardwick and two
sons, Russell and John, of Kinsale, Mrs.
D. Z. Hunt. daughter Lillian and son
George, of North Carolina. How pleas
ant to be together againI Fishing par
ties, crab suppers, moonlight excursions
with merry jest and witty stories make
the time pass all too soon. We had the
great pleasure of spending day in
Fairfields with Mr.. and Mrs, Moreau
Blackwell and family. The day was
perfect, the home ideal, the visit de-
lightful. 1t is surely Gods country.
May they, as)well as our kind host and
hostess. live long to enjoy this beauti-
full landi
with all due apologies.l
Here's to the land where the oyster growsl
The land where the salt tide flows
Soft crabs and hard and all the tribe finny-
Here's TO the good people of ole Virginny."

THE GIVERS.

So many precious things;

Than land bestowed of kings.
One gave of time, since on his heart
The hours so heavy lay,

And yet men found his gifts by far

THE FlSHERMAN'S WIFE.

L set my light in the window pane
Blurred and spattered and splashed
with rain
Wild wind carry him home againl
Heart of my heart, would love you SO
In a world with never wind to blow.
Nor waves to batter nor tides to flow?
Never the need for light TO burn
Nor dread of the news it were death to
learn,
And never the bliss of a safe return?
Who can love who has never prayed,
Sick with longing and all afraid,
While the hounds of the hurricane
barked and bayed.
Prayed and listened and prayed again,
and then, through the roar of the wind
and rain,
His finger tapping against the pane?

h0BBLE SKIRT FOR
YOU, MADAME?
Fall Raiment Trifle RainbOwiSh,
Meeting All COlOrS Into One
But Its Stylish. and a Bit Dan.
9erOuS Too,

Already the fall styles are making
their appearance in the windows of the
shops. Sandwiched in between season
end bargain sale displays of odds and
ends of summer stuff, one sees the
things which are to be worn this fall.
In her latest dictates Dame Fashion
is most considerate of the comfort as
well as the general tastes of men. As
far as man is concerned, the cut and
color of clothes is of relatively small
Importance. Still, as long as he's got
to wear them it is only natural that he
manifest a certain amount of curiosity
as TO what his tailor has in mind. Men.
lately, have been forced to live in n
state OF dread as to what may actually
happen in regard to clothes.
Ever since some Percies and Chollies
attempted to have it decreed that it is
the proper stunt to wear kid gloves in
summer time. he has been bordering on
the verge of nervous apprehension,
wondering what will happen next. 1t is
comforting then To know that there is
nothing startling about the coming
styles. Plain blues. grays and browns
will take precedence over the wall
paperish-like combinations that were
once the thing. To masculinity this will
prove good news. No average self
respecting man likes to pot around look
ing like a hobby-horse-at the same
time, he wants to be in style.

hObble Skirt a Fetter.

The latest thing i'm women's clothes
is the hobble skirt. It's demands are
even more torturous than those made
by the sheath gown or the directoire.
In the dictionary the word hobble is de-
fined as fetter. Fetter is a good word
with which to describe the hobble skirt.
wearing one, woman cannot take
steps longer than six inches. Walking.
anything like natural, is impossible.
Experience has taught that a certain
element of danger attaches to the use
of the new skirt. First, there came the
story of young person who, while ca
pering gaily along. became involved in
her hobblS skirt and broke her lep.
From various sections of the country
have come reports of various distress
ing mishaps due to the new fashion.
One young thing. starting out to church.
was tossed by her hobble skirt into the
depths of mud puddle. much to her
embarrassment.
Moreover, it has been demonstrated
that it is impossible to get into the new
skirt in the usual way. The wearer
must prepare to climb in from the top
kind o. pour herself in. The hobble
skirt was not invented for speed purpo-
ses. 1t is not built on racing lines. 1t
requires hobble-de-hoy sort of gait
that is mixture of an undulation and a
glide. Wearers have got to sort of
wave themselves along. Two or more
young misses in hobble skirts and in a
hurry would create the impression of a
sack race.
