SECURE FREE
PORTRAITS FOR
XMAS GIFTS

When THE EVENING JOURNAL
first made its offer OF free enlarge
ments of portraits for its readers,
there was no idea that 1t would prove
SO extremely popular as it has turn
ed out to be.
While it was expected it would
appeal generally to its readers, it
was not thought the number to take
advantage Of It would run up into
several thousands.
Yet that has happened. So great
has been the deluge of orders for the
portrait enlargements that up to to-
been received at this Office from
THE EVENING JOURNAL readers
for enlargement
And the best part of.it is that all
who have received the engagements
are highly pleased with the artistic
work. Scores of letters and verbal
expressions from persons who have
obtained the enlarged portraits attest
to this.
With the enlargements is offered
an assortment Of suitable frames for
the portraits. IT Is not obligatory
upon persons who have portraits
enlarged to buy a frame, but prac-
tically all have bought a suitable
frame at The same time they secured
the free portrait enlargement The
frames cost from S1.e0 to $3.50.
and are most beautiful and would
grace any home with their refined
finish. This Is an opportunity that
no reader of THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL should neglect to inquire into.
The enlarged portraits and frames
will make handsome Christmas
gifts, and many persons are secur-
ing them for that purpose.

matrimonial atmosphere, as the number
of runaway pairs who sought Elkton

ut the office Of the clerk of courts here.
The publication of the fact that the

nuptial knot tied are not all youngsters,
but include a number of "old maids and
"old bachelors" has had its effect on
others of the same class. Among those
who were issued licenses yesterday was

the responsibility for poor milk on

condition is gradually gettrg worse.
The farmers are gradually drifting to
Holstein cattle. And why should they
not? There is no inducement to the
farmer to send good. rich milk to
Wilmington. We get just the same

deal more milk than either Jersey or
