PETITIONS TO
FREE TURNPIKE
State Of Pennsylvania Asked to Ac-
quire New Hope-Buckingham
Highway and Repair It.
ON PHILADELPHIA-N. Y. ROUTE

The support of the Lambertville
! Merchants Association and Chamber
of Commerce, as we'll as private in
dividuals, will be sought by the Sole
bury Good Roads Association in its
efforts to have the turnpike from
New Hope to Buckingham freed
and placed in first-class condition by
the state of Pennsylvania.
DIR. J. E. Scott, president of the
Solebury association, says that once
the state authorities realize the
great Importance of this higway he
thinks there will be no unnecessary
delay in its taking over by the COM
monwealth, as it is already upon the
list of approved roads.
Petitions are being extensively
circulated in all the country adj
jacent to the turnpike, and these
will later be taken directly to the
State Commissioner Of Highways at
Harrisburg. 1t is set forth in the
petitions that this road is CAPT.
talized at about So, 500 per mile, and
could possibly be purchased for this
price. A like amount spent in top
would make road equal
to any in the state. as there is
good rock foundation the whole
length.
Plans are now being prepared by
the Solebury association for the
formation of similar organizations
throughout the county of Bucks and
these associations will be expected
to conduct a big Good Roads Rally"
in Doylestown about the first day of
May. The idea is to invite Governor
Brumbaugh and the State Highway
Commissioner ia attend, and show
them the interest that the people
have in this movement.
Much good has already come of
the movement in this section, on
both sides of the Delaware river,
and while the snow has stopped road
work for the time being, plans for
further improvements in the early
Spring are already under way.

prettier than those of other seasons,
are by no means as costly or difficult
to prepare If girl wishes to be her

the glorious warmth of summer. and
the dainty nowered mulls and berib-

Tradition has 1t that Easter brides
are always loyal, loving and true,
mother large families of sturdy sons
and beautiful daughters, are prudent,
excellent housewives, and women of
broad sympathies.
What more perfection could any
man expect in a wife? There are
girls who are not averse to being
made bride at any time, but if they
were asked what time of the year
really has her preference they would
answer unhesitatingly' "Eastertime
is the happiest, brightest and blith-
est time of all the year would
like to be an Easter bride" There
are men. too, who still hold to the
old traditions of their forefathers.
They look about for a charming spot
to build a little cottage, Just big
enough for two, which can be made
ready for the reception of an Easter
bride. How we'll the poet knew the
hearts of men when he gave to the
world the important lines:
In the spring young mans fancy
Lightly turns to thoughts of love.
Men who marry in the lucky spring
time are hardly considered to be those
who are marrying in haste to repent
at leisure. Usually they have court
ed twelvemonth, or the greater part
of the year, some even longer In the
springtime man apparently has
more hope and ambition to start up
new enterprises. He is not hampered
by having to sit by the fireside, heap
on coal or find his rooms chilly. He
can put his arm about his bonny
bride and take her along the grassy
meadows where she will delight to
see the first violets peeping at her
happy face and the brook echoing
her ripping laughter. She can have
her bridal bouquet fashioned from the
pretty buds she may choose to pick
Even the spring birds seem to carol
the sweet refrain Happy is the
bride when springs sunshine is hers,
with love-"

ARE PARTlNes FOR THE BEST,

The heart that has truly loved never for
gets,
But as truly loves on to the close.
AS the sunfower turns on her god when
he sets
The same look which she turned when
The girl who has, for any cause,
parted from the man she loves is
sure unkind fate could not have dealt
her harder blow. II she could only
bring herself to reason out the matter
calmly. she might find heaven has
been most kind to her in denying her
her hearts desire.
II jealousy has been the cause of
sundering the ties that bound them.
and she had been the one whom the
green-eyed monster had made a VIC
tim of she should ponder well wheth-
er or no the stand she took in the
matter has been justified by the cir
cumstances-her lover flirting with
other maidens, or openly sighting her
for another whom he has taken about
in utter disregard Of his allegiance
to her, encouraging the hopes of some
other woman in the belief that he
was still heart whole and fancy free.
II he had been guilty Of any of
these discourtesies, refusing either to
repent or apologize, a proud spirited
girl could do nothing more or less
than sever the betrothal cord that
each might go separate way. The
lover who deliberately pursues a
course which brings unhappiness to
the heart Of the woman who loves
him makes tickle, faithless husband
The girl who has force of character
enough to give him up saves herself
world of woe which would surely be
hers IL she welded him.
The heart which has once been poi.
soned by the Virus of jealousy never
fully RECEIVERS and is ever after liable
to a recurrent attack from slight
cause. She can never forget the stab
to her pride. her modification and hu.
initiation. For girl to marry a man
of whom she is jealous means the
suicide OF peace and therefore happi
ness.
She has as little chance for con-
genial companionship with the drunk
ard whom she has not the influence
with to cause a reformation.
II he is a rogue, to part from him
is the best thing that could happen
to save her from future misery
Women whose love affairs are
brought to sudden termination
should be brave and be philosophers
enough to say, and believe, that what
ever happens must be for the best
The pain of losing lover and the
loneliness of watching and waiting
for one who will never come again
would be greatly mitigated II the
thoughts were refused the sweet pain
OF dwelling upon him constantly until
the heart is sick with unsatisfied long
ing.
To be bright and cheerful through
such an ordeal is, in truth, easier said
than done, women imagine, but in this
belief they err-will power has ev'
erything in the world to do with It.
Fill the mind with diverting useful
thought. She whose hours are filed
with exacting work finds little time
for grieving over q dead past and what
might have been. The sun is shining
elsewhere, II such women could only
look little farther and behold 1t. The
powers that rule often remove q
worthless lover to give place to q
worthy one who has all the attributes
that bring happiness and sunshine to
the heart OF the woman whom they
crown with their affection.

LUCKY SPRING BRIDE.
An ye shall walk In silk attire,
An siller hae to spare.
If ven consent to be my bride,
Nor think o. Donald mair.


Did you ever hear of the odd SUI
perstitions in regard to marriage
which troubled the breasts of young
women OF ancient lore? Courtships
were seldom of long standing. II the
young couple met early in the new
year and mutual admiration merged
into love, the sweetheart confidently
expected that he would make her an
Easter bride.
The moking of her wardrobe and
the household linen which was to be
an important part of her marriage
portion was duly placed under way,
even though he had not as yet pro-
posed and put the betrothal ring on
her finger. To be welded in early
spring was every betrothed maiden's
ambition, for such marriages were
supposed to possess all the elements
Of luck forever after"
Surely 1t is a pardonable hope for
her to cling to No wonder this sea-
