Stripped to his underwear, he had
been made to wash himself vehement

legs in a pair of silk stockings, once
blue, but now mostly whitish. Upon
Penrod they visibly surpassed mere
ampleness, but they were long, and it
required only rather loose magma
ton to assume that they were tights.
The upper part Of his body was next
concealed from view by a garment so
peculiar that it's description becomes

unmarried, had worn at her Coming

which had been remodeled after her
marriage to accord with various epochs

condition certain to attract much at

for a last and conspicuous usefulness
At all events the bodice of that once
salmon dress, somewhat modified and
moderated, now took q position for
its farewell appearance in society upon
the back, breast and arms Of the Child
Sir Lancelot
The area thus coStumed ceased at
the waist, leaving a Jaeger-like and I'M
medieval gap thence to the tops Of
the stockings. The Inventive genius of
woman triumphantly bridged it, but in
a manner which imposes upon history
almost insuperable delicacies Of mar

fashioned man. The twentieth CEN
fury had failed to shake his faith in
red flannel for cold weather, and it
was while Mrs. Schofield was putting
away her husbands winter underwear
that she perceived how hopelessly one
of the elder specimens had dwindled.
and simultaneously she received the
inspiration which resulted in pair Of

added an earnest bit of color, as well

PICNIC MENUS FROM PACKAGES.

PICNIC MENUS FROM PACKAGES.
THERE are some sample menus that
would answer for a hungry par
ty Of Saturday to Monday guests.
If no servants are available, as is some
times the case, the food will be found
easy to prepare.
For breakfasts. coffee from tins, mar
malade or jam or strained honey In
glass, mullins made from fresh eggs
and milk and -four and baking powder
from tins, cereals from paper packages
and eggs are all available.
Luncheon and dinner need not vary
very greatly in this informal sort OF
living Both should be hearty. yet
neither should be formal, and the
menus suggested below would answer.
Canned Corned Beef.
Mustard Pickles.
Hot Macaroni and Tomato Sauce.
Cold Asparagus With Salad Dressing.
Waters. Cheese.
Coffee.
The canned corned beef is delicious
and should be daintily sliced. The
tomato sauce and needs only heating,
or else it can be cooked, and the sauce
can be made from canned tomatoes.
For the next dish, drain canned as
paragus and chill it and serve five
stalks Of it on each plate with table
spoonful of bottled salad dressing.
Chicken Gumbo Soup.
Baked Beans.
Vegetable Salad.
Nuts Raisins.
Toasted Waters. Cheese.
The soup and beans merely need
heating. Make the SO called salad by
scalding canoed vegetables and then
chilling them and mixing them with
bottled salad dressing. OF course there
will be no lettuce to serve with them,
but. nevertheless. they will be well
worth eating. String beans and peas
and asparagus tips make a good COM
bination.
Tomato Bisque
Scalloped Salmon. Cold Sliced Ham.
Chowchow. Spinach.
The soup comes ready to heat and
serve. For the salmon make a white
sauce Of fresh or canned milk, thicken-
ed with flour. Put the salmon In lay
ers with cracker crumbs in Individual
dishes or large, shallow one, sprin-
kle with crumbs and bake brown. The
ham comes sliced in glass Jar, and
the spinach needs only heating and,
by the way, it is far ahead OF the spin
ach served at most tables in taste. For
the tarts. put big spoonful Of jam on
snail round wafer and call 1t tart.

County Superintendent, A. R. Benson.
Vice President State Corn Growers
Association, and M. o. Pence, County
Agent, had a recent meeting to arrange
for the exhibits and distribution of
prizes. 1t was the unanimous desire of
the committee to have the prizes of
small denominations and well distribu-

and distributed.
In addition to the prizes for club
members, there will be premiums for
adult corn growers. To encourage the
farmers of the county to exhibit, the
State Corn Growers Association has
offered prizes to the sum of S25 to be
given for samples of the best corn ex-
hibited on the above dates. Kent Coun-
ty gives promise this year to take the
lead both in yield of grain and in quality
of corn produced. Every corn grower
can help improve the county record and
learn something of value about corn by
bringing some to this show. Watch
the papers for program of the meet
ngs and complete premium list in all
classes. Bring the whole family and do
lot forget to tell the neighbors.

PAUL PRY'S GLENDALE
LETTER.

We often wonder what is the ex-
tent OF mans durability, after we are
reminded of wonderful feats of en-
durance, but we think we have & ran
in Glendale who is hero of endurance.
Mr.. Otis Reed, mail carrier and local
preacher of more than ordinary abil-
| ity, is a sample of tireless energy. lie
daily carries over his rural route of
| twenty-four miles and on Sunday
morning he goes twenty miles to his
church in Milford Neck in time to
superintend the Sunday School and
preach a sermon. For the last two
weeks he has been conducting revival
| services at his church, with good sue
cess. He is cheerful and enjoys every
hour of his work Besides the above
mentioned duties he is running a farm
and growing all of his food and fam
lily supplies. We pronounce him one
of the most remarkable of men, and
do not believe that he can be beaten
for his tireless energy.
At the home of Samuel Warren, last
Sunday, two touring cars filled with
guests from Georgetown, were enter
tanned most Hospitality. After very
bountiful dinner they all motored to
Slaughter Beach.
Postmaster Good has proved that he
can do something besides handle the
mails and as a sample of his success
full farming is now displaying at the
postottice a mammoth turnip weigh
ing nearly four pounds.
Ellendale has another building
boom, and all carpenters are now
busy. The residence of Mrs. Lydia
NAPLES is rapidly becoming complet-
ed; James Murphy is making his home
more comfortable; Captain William
Millman is getting ready for carpenter
work, and Isaac Marker is bringing
his large home building to a rapid |
completion.
The sudden death of John T. Jacobs |
of Bridgeville, was a shock to his !
many friends, and to his cousin, the |
writer. Mr.. Jacobs was a great fav- |
orite and a boyhood companion of |
ours. He leaves a wife, two daughters |
and a son to mourn his loss, as well |
as host of friends.
