heard great deal of conversation on the
subject was relic, ed to get away from the
eternal discussion the 6ther day and go
for walk with her grandfather. They
had lovely time picking flowers and
listening to the bird songs as they strolled
down long woody hill to the valley of
the Wissahickon. Turning off the road,
just before they crossed the creek, they
entered rough path on the side of the
hill. where the trees had been cut away
and where the sun sitting through the
thick foliage made long cool shadows on
the irregular hillside. They walked along
quietly enjoying the stiffness until they

CPEAKING of brides and bridal paths.
~ one young bride who married several
months ago and went to live up State,
where 1t is impossible to get maids, has
had quite some exciting experiences in
ordering and arranging her household.
She learned that her husband was very
fond Of Chickens especially broiled ones,
so she ordered cne recently, having
learned how to cook 1t several months
ago. Imagine her borrow when Friend
Chicken arrived not only with all it's
feathers on, but alive and decidedly kick

but, how am I to kill it?" "Oh." re-
marked the man. "if that's the trouble, |
gle me a hatchet and I'll knock its cad |
off,"
As the establishment had no other |
deadlier weapon than a hammer. Friend |
Chicken lived until the next day. And |
great was the relief Of the bride. when |
she discovered that not only could the |
chicken be killed II she specified that It |
should when ordering it, but the butcher
was also willing to clean It and truss II |
for her. Now Jack and she have broiled |
chicken quite often. NANCY WYNNE.
