a Training in
NeatnesS
By LoRETTo c. LYNCH.


DO you Mrs, Housewife, in your
busy woFk.a-day world take time to
lneuleaie neatness IN your children. |.
IL II a HABIT. after all. this trick OF
being neat, Were one able 10 live
alone IN a home always. perhaps this
habit OF neatness would not be so
essential 10 Happiness, but in the
world OF today, where all must live
IN some sort OF homely everyday con
tact with the other. eul,iysting the
habit OF neatness and orderliness ia
quite next TO godliness.
a married woman wrote me a let
ter the other day. and in IL she states
that the one handicap she had all
through her business days, was a
lack OF training In neatness.
Her mother failed. she says, 10
plant in her mind. as child, the
reasons for carefully wiping out the
baih,nb after a bath. She had never
been trained 10 replace in good order
Aueh common toilet articles as soap,
the taleum. the bath mat.
II mother did not find time 10 do
u. II was not done a, all, To quote
her own words-"our bathroom was
next 10 our bedrooms) in constant
disorder. and the sad part OF the
whole thing was the fac, tina, we did
not imagine for a moment tina, this
was shorteoming.
Playing the role OF wife and
mother is a big task. And il is un-
fortunate that we still have among us
women who believe that they are
going on some sort OF vacation
when they give up the business
job for the job OF homemaker and
child trainer.
Where one OF the partners in mar
riagc is neat person with a sense
OF orderliuess, and the other lacks
this training. there is more or less
unhappiness. An orderly woman
told me that she wished her husband
had some one big fault instead OF
perpetual untidincss. Yet this man
was fine fellow as men go. But his
mother had never taken the time 10
tell him that one does not drag ones
clothing off at night and leave il on
the floor to be stepped into next
morning.
Teach your children neatness.
Remember that you are passing on
to them one OF the best bits OF train
ing mother can give.

G. X: Many girls like yourself
when they are asked to attend a
bride at her wedding have only the
vaguest idea Of their duties. Some
times they are not even sure If they
will have to provide their own
dresses for the great occasion, or
whether this Is part of the brides
expense.
Unless the parents of the girl who
Is to be married are very we'll to do
buy their own attire. So 1t is well
to think Of the expense entailed be-
fore glibly accepting the offer.
The bride chooses her favorite
sister or close friend to be her
chief bridesmaid and at least one sis
ter of the bridegroom Is asked to
attend to the bride as a rule.
Usually, as soon as her plans are
made the bride asks the ''maids" to
meet at her house to talk about the
dresses. She will probably have a
scheme in mind, and of course it Is
nice to fall in with her suggestions
il possible. If, however. you are
convinced that the styles chosen will
not suit you it would be quite cor
rect to ask her to modify them.
Much better to thresh the matter out
at the beginning instead of accepting
mildly and feeling discontented all
the time.
Hats present a rather difficult
problem. 1t is rarely that the same
type Of hat suits two or three diff
ferent people. If there Is any diver
sity OF opinion the bride could sug-
gest net caps or some kind OF head
gear for the occasion only which will
not be very expensive.
The bride chooses the flowers her
maids shall carry. though 1t is the
bridegroom's privilege to provide the
bouquets. He also gives each brides
maid a small gift as a souvenir Of
the happy occasion.
Curly: I can't publish your letter
about lost relatives without some
knowledge that your facts are au-
thentic. If you will have some well
known citizen Of your town vouch
for you, will do what I can for you.
A. b. x, The proper time to pro-
pose to a girl is any time when you
think she will accept. No. you need
not give her the engagement ring the
moment she accepts. Talk to her

Six months is no difference at all

It is such a pleasure to believe peo-

A difference in nationality Is not a
serious matter. Prejudices against

ourselves less congenial with some

we have sincere regard for some

THE HOE HANDLE MAKES
HANDY GARDEN MEASURE
Mark it Off In Foot And Six-Inch
Lengths For Use In Meas
uring Plant Rows

The well-regulated garden is laid
out according to rule and a tape
measure or yardstick is in constant
demand. In order to save the time of
hunting up the tape or the stick, and
always to have measure handy when
at work in the garden, it is an ex-
cellent plan to mark off the hoe and
rake handle into foot, yard and six
inch lengths. This can be done either
by painting black or white stripes
about the handle at the requisite dis
by dirt and hard use, if you are an
industrious gardener, notches may be
cut to show the distances and the hoe
and rake thus become combination
tools, and if you want to stake out a
row foot or six inches or yard from
the one upon which you are working,
it is a simple measure to lay down the
rake or hoe handle and stake it off.

farm for a road. In less than ten
years the community has become
aroused to the value of good roads,
and those who once denounced Cole
man du Pont today are praising him
as the pioneer road builder of Della
ware.
The appointment of Francis Victor
du Pont to the highway commission to
succeed his father, T. Coleman du
Pont, is regarded as good thing. 1t
means that the son will attend most
of the meetings and see to the needs
of the department. In talking to
Frank du Pont while he was in Dover
recently he asserted that his father
was unable to attend meetings be-
cause of his activities as senator,
but he was quick to say that the
boulevard will continue to get money
from his father until it is completed.
"My father has severed his connec-
tions with the highway commission"
said Mr.. du Pont, "but he has not lost
interest in the department or the
State roads. He will continue to give
his share toward the Improvement of
State highways. I have more time
and can attend to his business on the
commission better"

HANDLOFF'S THEATRE

Many are the times that the motion
picture fans sit in the theatre utterly
astonished at the antics that actors
are enabled to do on the screen-such
as walking on ceilings, skipping
lightly over seas of water and the
like. Mach Sennett and his assis-
tants have perfected the most of these
"tricks" as they are called and in his
latest big five reel comedy "Down on
the Farm" which will be at the Hand
loft Theatre Thursday, he has gone
the limit. In all this work the cam
era is of principle concern. Fred
Jackson, who is credited as the great
est of all cameramen and who can
make it do everything but talk, is

nett.

AT THE PLAYHOUSE

Frank Tinney in the sensational
"Tickle Me-, presented by Arthur
Hammerstein with solid phalanx of
Broadway favorites, is coming to the
Playhouse, Wilmington for two nights
and Saturday Matinee, starting Fri
day April 18th.
1t is the absolute, original produc-
tion with so players.
Mr.. Tinney seems to have one great
advantage over his fellow clowns in
musical comedy. He is able to take the
most forlorn examples of stage humor,
and by his manner of presenting them,
cause you to laugh till you wilt. In
"Tickle Me" his humor is mischievous,
intimate, and as always irrepresible
with an air of improvisation as if it
had no routine. He ambles informally
in and out of the story, with his imp
ish grin and funny clothing. And let
it be said right here advance reports
from the Broadway critics have it that
"Tickle Me" is as good-looking, man.
nerly, and amusing a musical comedy
as you may expect this season. The
girls are all beauties; and Mr.. Ham,
merstein, of course, has seen to it
that their dress is wanton and lovely.
The music, by Herbert Stothart rises
well above the average score; the cast
is superior to degree; and the book,
too, by Messrs. Hanback,, Mandel and
Hammmerstein, offers new characters
and a good tangible story.

Charlie Chaplin's million-dollar

He did not receive one-quarter of that
sum. 1t is quite certain that spec

ed at the number of these gasoline
chariots that have reverted to the
original owners after the first small
payment. Movieland people receive
about the same wages as in any other
