The Story Of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
I.-DELAWARE
NSIN - RTSM falls the honor
NNGlaESgSsyyML H Of being the
gS M - SNHW ISL first of the
WsEE sEsshWM original thir-
\<s,%SN teen states.
gM December Z,
1877, it officially adopted the Con.
stitution and thus was. made a
beginning of our present Federal
government. According to the
seventh article of the Constitu-
ton, however, it was necessary
for nine states to ratify it before
1t actually came into force. So
it was not until the following
June, by which time eight other
states had accepted the Consti-
tuition, that the United States of
America actually came into be-
ing.
The early history of Delaware
was varied one. 1t started in
1898 when a small party of
Swedes settled at the mouth of
the Delaware river and called it
New Sweden. In 1865, Peter
Stuyvesant, the governor Of the
Dutch colony of New Neither
lands, annexed this territory. But
1t did not long remain Dutch,
for in 1864 the English took
possession. When Pennsylvania
was decided to William Penn he
desired access to the seacoast
and at his urgent request Della
ware was transferred to PENIS
propriet0rship. From the be-
ginning of the eighteenth CEN
fury, however, Delaware had it's
separate legislature, and at the
time of the Revolution it be-
came an independent state.
Delaware is next to the ,naall-
est of our states, having All. q r..
of only 2,370 square miles. It's
participation in presidential cleo
lions is limited to three electors.
This is arranged according to
population. Each state Is entitled
to the same number of presiden-
tial electors as it has members:
of congress, so the influence of
the different states In voting. for
the President varies from Della
wares three electors to New
YOrks %.
AS to the derivation Of the
name Delaware, this was appro-
priately given to the state from
the river, which in turn was
named after the bay and the bay
was called Delaware in honor of
Lord Delaware, who was COVER
nor of the Virginia colony in
1910.

Unnecessary Courtesy.

American parents often deplOre the
abruptness of their children's speech
but few American children would ven
ture to address their parents in the in
Ctsive language sometimes used in the
Gladstone family, as indicated in a re-
cent book by Mary Drew, Mr.. Glad
stones daughter. 1t bored Mr.. Glad
stone, she says, to hear people apollo
getically differ-"My dearest love,
really think you are wrong" etc. "He
thought it more to the point to be short
and sharp-'A lie" 1t is impossible to
forget Lord Morley's face" adds Mrs.
Drew, "when he first heard one of us
say to Mr.. Gladstone. A lie y" This
freedom of expression half startled
and shocked guests at Hawarden, Mr..
Gladstones daughter observes, but
it broke the seriousness Of discussion
and put everyone III good humor."-
From the outlook.

Silks Caught Feminine Fancy.

Silk and fashion are closely linked
throughout the centuries. Modes
changed to conform to the new fabric
as it was brought into each country.
There were the ladies of Greece who
first discovered that the heavy orr
entail fabrics could be unraveIed and
rewOven, like their linen garments, in
to tilmy translucent materials of
wOndrous beauty,
Ornamental silks were not intro
duced into Europe until 500 A. D.,
and with them came the influence of
Byzantium on the styles of the day.
1t was through the wars waged by
the Crusaders that silk weaverS were
brought into Italy, and the fame of
Venetian and Florentine fashions
spread abroad.
