Mr.. Benz. E. Bonneville
Brought Home Wednesday

Mr.. Benjamin E. Bonneville, who
several months ago fell from a scat
fold while erecting house, and in the
fall broke one of his legs and was
otherwise bruised and mangled, ar
rived home On Wednesday last, much
to the delight of his many friends.
Mr.. Bonneville had quite a lengthy
hospital experience in Crisfield and
was later taken to the home of his
daughter in that town, where he re-
NAMED until the change to PocomOk@
City was made this week. To be sure
his condition IS greatly improved but
he is far from being his real self.
Time alone, we suppose will bring
about the desired results. Mr.. Bonnie.
vile is one of our most respected citi-
zcns and his illness has been watched
with great interest by the entire
town, All are glad to welcome him
back home and hope that he will rap
idly regain bis strength and soon be
2ble to move amongst us.

Davenport Visits
St. Mary's Parish

The Rt. Rev. George W. Davenport,
Bishop of the Diocese of Easton, Wis
tied ST. Mary's Parish, this city, on
Sunday last, and preached at both
the morning and evening services. He
was greeted by large congregation
in the morning but the evening SER
vice was not so largely attended by
reason of the inclement weather. This
was the first time great many of
cur people haG had the opportunity of
hearing Bishop Davenport and all
were greatly pleased with both of his
sermons. Many of our people OF
the various denominations had the
pleasure of meeting the Bishop per-
acnally and the impression made was
most pleasing. We are sure the
bishop has won the hearts of the PEG
pie of Pocomoke just as he has those
of all other sections within the do
cese.

WORKING GIRLS RESENT RICH

concerned, no doubt we all could come to an agreement on that, but when one puts it that the rich should put the poor in their place you can see it places it in a different light. Especially when one takes into con- sideration the fact that the class to which they are appealing for help are always the ones who are the first to buy and Haunt these styles to the public.
 "A great number of the so-called poor girls have unfortunately copied the habits as well as the dress of the rich.
 Allowing that some of the styles are absurd, I think we can mostly all agree as to who is to blame for them.
 As to the suggestion that they design different styles, that we agree upon, but when some one suggests that people be made to dress in such passerby to know to what station in life they belong. I can only say that it is very insulting, and feel sure that a greater majority will agree
 Another reader joins Miss L. M. G. in asserting this to be a free country as far at least as dress is concerned.
 Free Country as to Dress.

 the Hke-that they set the example of dress and if the working girls are improperly dressed so are these so- ciety ladies, because they go to greater extremes than the working girl.
 How can a government force a person to wear a certain thing. espec- ially in America? Isn't America SUD- posed to be a free country? Lib erty' is her watchword, therefore let us have it.
 Sincerely, MISS A. C."
 agree with L. NJ. G. that designs made in America might do away with. some of the painful extremities to which the copiers of foreign freak styles have subjected us. Cheaper clothes are often merely more or less designed for women of leisure. The copy, worn in a different atmosphere than the one which the original was intended to grace. is revealed in the afbsurdity which might not be ap- parent in a less practical environ ment.
 But in spite of all her critics we notice that the average girl in office and shop is not hard on the eye and is not apt to disgrace herself, her sex or her employer by freak dressing.
 Many Suffer for Few Foolish.
 Of course the young thing with the an-too-visible knees. peeping coyly through chiffon stockings, with fool ish sleeves, impractical dress and with her croWnlng glory Of fr1ZZed bobbed hair which would make a Fiji Islander throw cocoanuts at her for this damsel and for her sartor- ial sins must all her fellow workers suffer?
 There are some freaks in the work ing world as well as in society. But is it up to the leaders in both lines of endeavor simply-we won't say set a good example?
 And let us have better clothes for less money, and not very cheap copies of things fit only for musical extravaganza

 Rewards totalling sS.000 were of- fered for the safe return of Father Heslin or the recovery of his body. In the early evening of August 10, Hightower called at the home o1 Archbishop Hanna
 Guided by Hightower, police started late that night for Salada Beach, a short distance southwest of Colna, where Hightower said he believed the body was buried. He declared that a woman companion whom he knew as Dolly Mascon had told him that a drunken foreigner had furnished her with the information. On arriving at the spot the party quickly uncovered the body. The priests skull had been crushed and he had been shot twice.
 The San Francisco police, suspic- ious of Hightower's tale, kept him in custody. They established to their own satisfa ction that Dolly Mason was a myth A woman named Doris Shirley who, Hightower asserted, had accompanied him to San Jose from San Francisco on the night of the murder, denied it, and IIightower later admitted he had been mistaken in the date.
 A search of Hightower's room in a San Francisco hotel revealed a tent which corresponded with tent ropes pegs and flaps found at the scene of the crime.

Andhe stood at the door. awkward like, hardly daring to come in.

I was attracted the other day by a chap who was standing, hat in hand, at the outer door of my reception room.
 This chap looked so for lorn, so gloomy, that when I'd about made up my mind that he'd lost the last friend he had in the world-he saw me.
 I had on my white office coat-and seeing that I had noticed him - the fellow beckoned me over to him. = l couldn't imagine for the life of me what he wanted to see me about.
 
 So I hurried over to where he was standing. "Is-s, tn this," he stam- mered nervously, the den- tists' offices where they fix up teeth without it hurting a bft?"
 Smilingly, I assured him that it was
 
 "Well" he went on, ''are you honestly telling me the truth?"
  He seemed so sincere, so all-soulful, that I didn't dare smile for fear of hurting his feelings.
 I knew that what he want ed most was assurance that we wouldn't hurt him a bit when we fixed his teeth so I said
 
 "Well, if it's the pain that is worrying you - I'll tell you what-if I hurt you don't pay me a penny!"
 
 For the first time his eyes lit up and an enthusiastic grin over-spread his face. He said well, if you're as sure as all that-I'm willing to believe anyone once." After we had taken the nerve out of his aching tooth and crowned it then and thereafter we had finished he still sat in the chair slowly opening and closing his mouth-letting his teeth click together. Then he smiled - and tusned right out loud. Say! Doctor! If I'd a known that teeth can be fixed up like this without it's hurting I wouldn't have lost an entire weeks sleep! And he went out so big and proud that I was afraid he was going to take the door with him when he closed it.
 Of course we all had a good laugh over the incedent but it proves conclusively one thing-we're still living up to our reputation to fix up teeth without hurting a single bit
 And this counts for much too!
 You're invited to come up any time-and if we hurt you we'll give you the same proposition as we did this ehap-don't pay us a penny. nRc WETD[TCH
