Memorial Day.

South winds a-whisper with love,
Harvesting bees on the wing,
Earth in transport of JOY
Dancing to welcome the spring;
Yet where the soft shadows fall,
Sweet with the incense of May,
Silently, safely they sleep
Under the lilies the gray.
Murmuring ripple of brooks,
Birds all a-trili with delight,
Meadow and orchard and lawn
Dew-bedecked, fair, fiower-bright
Only they peacefully sleep
Meath the green branches a-sway,
Under the blossoms of love.
Under the lillies-the gray.
Though all the earth is awake,
Teeming with life and aglow,
Only with blossoms to-day,
Love for our brave we can show.
So with hearts pure as the flow'rs,
Pausing moment to pray,
Let us remember who sleep
Under the lilies-the gray.
So through the ages to come
Keeping thoughts nobler within,
Other lives purer will grow
That such as these have once been.
Hearts and the world will grow young

St. Hilda's Hall.

The Editor of the Church News in
recent visit to Charles Town, was great
ly delighted with the prospects for st.
Hilda's, our church school for girls,
which will be opened next fall,
As has been stated before in the
l"Caurch News" Miss Duyal, Of Stuart
Hall, Staunton, Va, has bought the
large building formerly known as
Powhatan College and is fitting it up
as Diocesan school for young ladies
under the auspices of the Bishops of
West Virginia. The building is very
large, with about ninety bedrooms,
twenty music rooms, large auditorium,
parlors, reception rooms. recitation
rooms etc.
1t has been thoroughly over hauled
and is being put in perfect order.
A new roof of asphalt shingles will
replace the present one, and the en-
tire building. except the gables and
tower, will be succeed and the wood
work painted
New and approved wiring for electric
lighting has been done, the plumbing
overhauled and made entirely sanitary,
and new bathrooms put in, also the hot
water heating system put in perfect
order.
The porches, 300 feet long and Is to
20 feet broad. when the weather is
suitable will be used for outdoor reci-
tatiops. The spacious grounds are be-
ing enlarged and beautified and la hand
some curbing and granolithic walk put
across the front of the premises.
| Many of the Stuart Hall faculty
will accompany Miss DuvaI to Charles
Town and her new work, among them
Mr.. Hyatt her professor of music, who
has already rented the Mcdonald house
on Samuel street and with his family
will occupy it in June.
Miss Duval expects to keep up the
high standard of scholarships which
she has obtained. Her pupils enter
Bryn Mawr without examination.
We cannot recommend St. Hilda' s
too highly to the parents of young
girls. The climate of Charles Town
is delightful, and the charming town
affords a peculiarly desirable environ
uient for the school. Since it is with
in two hours of Washington, arrange
ments will be made for occasional visits
to the Capital.

Postmaster General Bur.eson re-
Gently started an automobile rural
delivery service in Delaware. The
route to be covered embraces the en-
tire rural service of the State. That
this will affect Smyrng is very prob
able, one auto route may take care of
our rural district. In Delaware the
cost of the present carrier system is
S12O, 1886. The cost Of the new ser
vice will be S691. 776. and the saving
is expected to be S28. SGD. In Sussex
county the present service consists Of
forty-six routes. originating in the
county and one route originating from
Parsonsburg. Wieomico county. Mary
land, aggregating 11l5.21 miles in
length. AS revised there will be one
motor vehicle route and thirty-eight
horse drawn vehicle routes. sggregat-
ing 1905. IS miles in length. Thirty
two families will be required 10 move
their boxes short distances. In New
Castle county the present service con-
sists OF twenty-one routes, aggregat-
ing 5l2. O3 miles in length. As re-
vised there will be six motor vehicle
routes and six horse-drawn vehicle
routes, aggregating 476 % miles.
II will be necessary for twenty-cne
families to move their boxes In
Kent county the present service con
sists Of thirty-six routes. aggregating

be twelve motor vehicle routes. and
six horse drawn routes, aggregating
745. 35 miles in length II will be
necessary for forty families to move

lilies will receive better aceommoda-
tions. The motor routes to be estab-
lished in Delaware vary from so. p
miles in length TO SAL miles. It
is estimated that in ell cases the
automobiles can be operated at least
nine months of the year. The salary
allowed the rural carriers for serving
these motor routes is $500. 90 a

drawn route is s12OO 90 a year. The
