Washington. Feb. S.-The date for
the sale OF the Union Park Gardens
at Wilmington, and the rules to gov
ern that sale. when it is held, now
being considered -by the Shipping
Board. VIII be announced within a..few
days, II was announced today by Com
mercial Manager Sidney Henry.
II appears that objection was raised
To the plan recently formulated and
presented with the first announcement
OF the sale. and that this objection had
sufficient force to cause the Shipping
Board TO reconsider the whole matter
and TO form a new plan and set a new
date for sale.
IL has been learned that the gov
ernment was trying to favor the ten
ants in giving them an advantage over
other bidders and that this attitude
on the part OF the government caused
the trouble. Prospective bidders fol-
the the property as a whole pointed
out that a very small per cent of the
tenants would be able TO comply with
the terms of the sale and that 1,
would therefore be a failure; that
some OF the prospective bidders for
the property as whole contt .nplatec
reselling TO the present tenants upon
terms which they could meet. such
terms being much more liberal thar
the government could be expected tc
offer.
II the plans of the sale, yet to be
announced, meet the requirements OF
the prospective bidders, II is probable
mat several offers for the property
as whole viii be made. No doubt
this bidding will go considerably over
a million, dollars.

duct is to be ruled entirely by die tates of reserve and modesty, delicacq and refinement?
 "A man does not hesitate to divorce a faithless wife. Surely it is more sordid to put a price on what is called honor than on the value of a possi- ble husbandi
 We are all rather plain and prac- tical nowadays and disinclined to al- low very much for what used to be called sentiment But from wom- ans viewpoint there must always be great deal more than sentiment r1age; it means so much more than even being in love- It is the altering entirely of a woman's viewpoint, the undertaking of the most solemn of promises ,the public ayowal and p1edg- ing of secret preferences and deep feelings. The pang, the humiliation the bitterness Inflicted on woman whose lover informs her he is tired contract are not to be measured Whether or not her affections are deeply engaged her sufferings must be acute.
 Hurts Her Pride
 "A woman in this position feels de- ceived, degraded, hurt. however much
 respect her former lover shows her. And if her remedy-the ugly one of the law-is taken from her, what is to prevent her falling a victim to a succession of men who amuse them selves by little courtship and then know they can with inpunity change their minds?
 Why should this be the one con- tract of all others men may be al- lowed to break at will?
 If Justice McCardie would tell men to think, not twice, but three or four times before they propose marriage, and then to consider well the cruel position of the woman whose engagement is broken off against her will, he would do more to keep breach of promise actions out of the courts than by his championship of masculine fickleness and his rebuke to feminine indelicacy."
