CAULK CLUB SOCIAL COLUMN.

Miss Blanche Foulk, Mrs. H. William
Viereck, Frank Deputy and Bill Murphy
have been elected associate members OF
the club.
On Tuesday evening last the Caulk
Club was delightfully."- entertained at a
surprise party given by Mrs. Wyatt, in
honor of her guest, Miss King, of Bowers
Beach. The young people all agreed
that the party was one of the most en-
Joyable they ever attended.
The Caulk Club girls basket ball team
journeyed to Dover last Thursday even
ing and were defeated by the strong
The game was well played and exceed
ingly interesting, the Caulk girls holding
their opponents down to the score of
81 to within few minutes of the end
of the game. This is the first game
played off the home floor, and shows
remarkable progress in the team work
of the Caulk Club girls.
A very exciting romance is the result
of an acquaintance made at the Caulk
Club Halloween Party on October 9th
last. when William r. Murphy, Jr., met
Miss Matilda Anderson, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. John Anderson, of near Milford.
Miss Anderson is an enterprising young
school mistress, and after a delightful
box social at the Cedarfield School House
on Friday evening, January 22nd, Miss
Anderson invited a number of friends o
her home, where, at late supper, her
to Mr.. Murphy was an
nounced. To all appearances this was
love at first sight, and this announce
ment came as a great surprise to the
many friends of the happy couple.
Cupid again visited the ranks of the
Caulk Club, when H. William Viereck |
IN January 18th, became a benedict. |
The bride was none other than Miss
Eleanor A. Johnson, of Philadelphia, and |
lfter short wedding trip, Mr.. and Mrs.
liereck are happily ensconced in their
lew home on East Front Street, North
Milford. On Wednesday evening the
Jaulk Club rendered a reception to the
lewly- weds and presented them with a
mahogany rocker. The deco
ative scheme of the club room was in
orm of valentines and hearts, which
vas very suggestive of the occasion.
DR.. and Mrs. Viereck have the best
7ishes of the club members for a long
nd happy married life.

ADDRESSES SPECIALISTS

DR.. Samuel M. D. Marshall, of Mil
ford, gave an address at the Wills Eye
Hospital in Philadelphia on Monday
afternoon of this week before the mem
bers of the Wills Hospital OphthaImic
Society, of which he is a member, which
has caused widespread comment among
the eye specialists of that city. The
address was commented on by several
of the Philadelphia papers, and the fol-
lowing was clipped from the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger of Tuesday morn
ing:
Zone of the latest methods of treating
the eye with violet rays of exceedingly
short-wave length was described yester-
day afternoon by DR.. Samuel M. D.
Marshall, of Milford, Delaware, at a
meeting of the Wills Hospital Ophthal-
mic Society. Doctor Marshall told of
a case involving Inflammation of certain
areas of the nose, which affected the
sight of a patient, causing pain. double
vision and partial paralysis of the mus
cles of the eye. The violet rays were
secured from a special vacuum tube at
tached to an X-Ray machine, and the
infamed nasal areas were subjected to
direct exposure to the rays. After
few treatments the pain disappeared
and vision became normal.
Doctor Marshall said that the violet
rays had valuable antiseptic properties,
as well as the power of contracting
swollen mucuos membrane.
''Dr. McCluney Radcliffe and DR.. P.

Air-AMd Lang Syne.

Our Milford Church, our Mother Church
Endeared. beloved benign.
Her Temple Courts Wen mere forget
Nor days of Auld Lang Syne;
The days when first that little band
So bravely fell in line.
Led by heroic Kennedy
In days of Aud Lang Syne,
The old time pastors planting here
The olive and the vine,
The creed Of Calvin and Of Knox
In days Of Aud Lang Syne;
The old time Elders sturdy men.
Their memories we enshrine,
Who for their God and duty stood
In days Of Aud Lang Syne.
Hail woman Of the days gone by,
Their mission pure, Divine.
Who gave their hearts and gave their hands
In days of Aud Lang Syne;
The Mothers in the Graveyards now,
While still our souls entwine
Our chaplets for their sainted brows,
The saints Of Aud Lang Syne.
They come. they went. those saints Of yOre,
Time cannot undermine
The work they did, the seed they sowed
In days of Aud Lang Syne;
They came and passed, till in good time
His lasting light to shine.
Our Bunstein came and came for keeps
In days Of Aud Lang Syne.
Full Thirty-fve bright years ago,
Fresh Diamond from the mine,
He sparkled from our pulpits desk
In days of Aud Lang Syne;
A young man then. young man yet.
And blooming superfne,
We greet him and his better-half
For sake of Aud Lang Syne.
The dear departed seem to smile
Upon South Milford's Shrine.
And benedctions linger still
From days of Auld Lang Svne-
While here the Pastor and his flock
Replighted hearts entwine,
n gratitudes for present loves
And loves Of Aud Lang Syne.

PLEASING TESTIMONIAL
HONORING Mr.. BUNSTEIN

The snow storm of last Wednesday
had no terrors for the good people of
Milford, which could deter them from
attending the Presbyterian Church,
where the celebration of the thirty-ffth
anniversary of the pastorship of Rev.
H. L. Bunstein was observed. The en-
tire first floor was given over to the
ladies who provided beautiful decora-
tions and refreshments, while the or
chestra discoursed popular music dur
ing the evening. 1t was a testimonial
of all of the people, and of all the
churches of Milford, to the dean of the
pastors of her churches, and every
pastor was present and expressed his
good wishes to their honored cO-labOrer
in christian work.
Rev. T. C. Davis of the Baptist
Church, Rev. E. H. ]. Andrews of the
Episcopal Church, Rev. w. r. MoWbray
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
Rev. L. A. Bennett of the Methodist
Protestant Church all helped to make
the testimonial a memorable event. To
the speeches of his many friends Mr..
Bunstein responded in a ten minute
talk which paid high tribute to his ex-
cellent wife as well as to the pleasant
relations existing for a third of CEN
tury and more between them and the
people of Milford.
John B. Smith, in a happy short
speech, presented a purse containing a
good sum of money as a testimonial of
the male members of the congregation.
1t was touching time when Miss
Minnie Sipple read an original poem,
written by a former pastor of the
church, and it was the signal for an
of enthusiasm which was only
drowned by the music of the orchestra.

pretty as a picture and the boy was

Hush, MOIie! Don't be slangy

Where shall I be slangy them"
asked Mollie with a laugh. 81 like
most of the slang we Americans use;

them. Goodby until tonight"
