PUBLIC SENTIMENT AND coon ROADs.

~ RGANIzATIoN of automobile association in sus-
" sex county unquesonably will do much to promote
the of good roads in that part State There
IS county in Delaware that has not more than its
fair share of bad roads. We think however It will be
admitted, by Sussex countians that there is
county in state that has many poor roads and
few good ones as has Sussex.
II is encouraging note that good road sentiment
taking strongly in all three counties and that
slowly but surely it is putting the reactonary inhu-
ences TO rout We make the prediction now that the
Sussex County Automobile Association which has al
most 100 members, will do to bring about road
construction and administration reform in that county
than any other single agency and that within the next
ten years miles Of good roads will stand as
monument to It's activity in behalf OF better anspor
tation conditions
Nor should we lose sight OF the present activity Of
Kent when discussing the good road question
In It's relation to the rural districts down
the State. That county result Of public sentiment
created largely by automobiiss has entered upon an
era Of good roads construction under the Walls law
that promises 10 make material Improvement In condi-
tons in the midland county. The first work will be
done between Dover and wyoming It is the purpose
OF the Levy Court to borrow 100000 under the Walls
law and to utilize it and money derived from other
sources TO build roads in several sections OF the
~ where abutting property owners manifest in
terest in the highly important mo=ement
In short. with good roads work in progress or in
contemplation in all three counties by the end Of 1914
there should be material in the good roads
mileage in our State.
II is pity the building OF the dupont Boulevard hs.
been blocked II State were traversed by such !
magnificent highway General T. Coleman dupont
proposed it would be potent good roads missionary
and the travelling public would demand that IN
lateral roads be improved for the pleasure and prof
OF the entire community.

There is much in common between
Prince Arthur of Connaught and the
Duchess Of Fife. whose betrothal has
aroused so much interest and satisfac-
tion. Their characters are similar, both
being quite serious minded young peo-
pie. with passion for country life and
outdoor sport The prince is rightfully
termed the Admirable Crichton of the
Royal Family" His love for athletics
was developed at Eton. Unfortunately,
he once said il is the tendency of the
age to watch other people play instead
of playing.
There was one episode at Eton which
made the prince blush at the time. This
was when Queen Victoria at the time
Of her diamond jubilee, went to the
school. called for "Arthur" and embrac-
ed him, to his obvious confusion, before
his class colleagues The boyish ambi-
tion Of Marcus as the prince is known
TO his intimates was to be a watch
maker But this desire was given mp
when his father made him 90 round
with the man who wound the clocks at
Bagshot Park The prince came to the
conclusion that the occupation lacked
excitement and turned his attention to
soldering.
From Eton he went TO Sandhurst
Academy and he entered upon his mill
tary duties in his usual thorough man
ner. II is a pity that he was born a
prince, for that fact probably pre-
vented him from taking the prominent
position in the army to which his abili'
ties enttle him.
The prince is regarded as a very ca
pable soldier. He has served with the
Queens Own Hussars, the Royal Horse
Artillery, and the Scot Crews. and tC
make himself a thoroughly efficient Of
icer he has undergone instruction
courses at the Signaling and Musketry
School. Once at Aldershot a curious
lady visitor asked a private which wa.

The princes fancee is one of the rich

much Of the wealth of her father. whose
estate is valued at 100000 pounds. Tn,
exact amount of his fortune is not
known, his will being treated as of q
member of the royal family and its con
tents kept secret. Until eight years
ago. when King Edward conferred th'
rank of princess on her and her sister

toned although they may not have
been invited.
A hostess difficulties are increased
considerably by the fact that she
naturally feels some reluctance in
approaching a suspected intruder for
fear of placing herself in an embar-
RAISING position. II has been sug-
gested that the difficulty might be met
by asking the guests to show their in-
vitation cards when they reach the
house but it is pointed out that
scarcely one person in a dozen re-
members to take his or her invitation
card, and there would always be the
danger Of a hostess approaching a
guest who might be some prominent
parsonage whom she did not know
But while certain society leaders
are naturally indignant at the man
ner in which they are imposed upon
by these outsiders. there are others
who, If not exactly welcoming them.
regard the intruders with leniency
And the reason is not very far to
seek. A lady may be giving a ball to
celebrate the coming out" of her
daughter. She naturally desires the
affair TO be a success and attended by
everybody who is anybody so as to in
crease her social prestige. She sends
out invitations to all her friends and
in order TO guard against the danger
of not having a good attendance, she
| issues invitations to her friends
/ friends, asking them to bring along
any one whom they please. This
gives the unlimited guest his oppor-
| tunity. He turns up, shakes hands
with the hostess, who may be quite
unacquainted with his name but
nevertheless believes that he is one
Of the friends of her invited guests.
He mingles with the crowd and en-
/ Joys himself thoroughly. although he
/ has no right to be where the reception
is being held.
All this is so easily done that the
wonder Is that there are not more
society hostesses victimized in this
way. When one comes to consider
that at these big society functions
there are often as many as 500 guests,
IL is difficult to see how the intruder
can be guarded against, unless every
guest is carefully scrutinized and
vouched for by the one who intro
duces them. But there is a sinister
feature to this question. On several
occasions men living by their wits
by assuming the role of invited guests
have obtained entry into houses. and
have either quietly walked off with
all the valuables they could lay their
hands on, or have taken stock of the
portable valuable in the house and
laid plans for later visit.

except that her inclination for athletics
always was strongly fostered by her
parents, both Of whom were firm believ-
ers in "a sound mind in sound body"
The young duchess is devoted to Scot
land, and has always maintained the
patriotic traditions of the Fife clan. As
child, when asked whether she was an
English or a Scotch girl, she used to
proclaim Justify that she was "a Fife. a
Scotswoman" Almost as soon as the
duchess and her sister could walk. they
were taught to dance Scotch reels and
to sing the national melodies. Most of
her life has been spent at Mar Lodge
braemar, where she learned to fish
shoot, swim. riie and drive.
Between the duchess and her grand
mother, Queen Alexandria. there exists a
bond of great affection. It is a fact that
Queen Alexandra was very fond of be-
ing photographed with her baby name
sake In her arms Such a picture is a
prominent feature in one of the wards Of
the Children's Hospital in London. where
one Of the cots is named after the duch-
ess. In appearance the duchess is tan.

bles Queen Alexandria Next to Princess

English princesses. Recently it was re
ported that she was to to the bride of
the eN-king of Portugal. but Prince Ar
thur has been taoitly regarded as her
future husband for some time past.
Many and loud are the complaints
of London society leaders in regard
| to the number of unlimited guests
who take advantage of the large at
! tendance at dances. balls and recep-
tions and mix among the guests as
though they had been invited. Auda-
cious intruders at fashionable gather.
ings have become so many that Lon.
don hostesses are alarmed. On one
occasion a lady issued $50 invitations
to a ball at a hotel When she founc
she was charged with 34O guests she
asked for an explanation. A list o
the names Of those who attended was
furnished her, and she found thai
nearly a hundred persons who wer,

against this intrusion is that hos.
