While the Delaware raisers oi
grapes prefer to dispose of their en-
tire crop in the vineyards at a GER
tain price per basket or hamper, this
is not always possible. According to
reports made to the Bureau of Mark
cts at Dover, the output this year was
divided about equally between the
grapes sold to commission men on
commission and those disposed of out
right.
Another serious competitor this year
with Delaware crops was California
fruit. The west had a tremendous
grape crop, in fact it is believed that
at least half of the crop has gone to
waste because the railroads could not
transport it promptly. There were
enough California grapes grown, it
is said, to supply the entire country.
California grapes sold in Philadelphia
and New York markets at a price low
er than it cost for their transporta-
tion east and the growers had to stand
the expenses of raising, cultivation,
and packing the grapes at a loss to
themselves.
There are about 700 acres in grapes
in Kent and upper Sussex counties and
if the returns continue as profitable
in the next couple of years as in the
past three years, it is expected that
this acreage will be greatly increased. |

 tcntiOns
 Dreams in which man steals a kiss from girl, providing this is done lightly, and furtively, and with out the slightest offensive charac- teristic, are of deep meaning. They tel. the dreamer this: Among her acquaintances is one who loves her dearly but who, for various req sons has not dar,d or cared to speak. The reason for his silence is that he feels that his love is not reciprocated and so rather than be hrmiliated by a refusal. he keeps silent. The time has now come when he is so certain that he is not wanted, that he has made up his mind to conquer his infatuation and seek solace elsewhere. Hence the dream. The furtive. inoffensive kiss is a farewell.
 If, then. there is such a man among the dreamer's acquaintances, and if she cares for him but waited for him to speak, now is her time to en- courage him. For, unless she does so she will lose him forever.
 Another furtive caress of this char acter is when the dream -admirer touches the girls shoulders Or moves as though to put his arm around her waist, yet does not do so. While this is not sign of 8 farewell, it is one of utter discourage cement.

He doesn't want to be bothered with hearing about all the gory de- tails, and the successful wife is she who keeps her troubles to herself, and only tells her husband the things that it amuses him to hear, except, of course, when there are big troubles and big issues that they must discuss together
 The woman who tells her husband everything stays romance with her tongue.
 The people who keep us perpetu- ally interested are those whose minds and souls remain a perpetual ly undiscovered country that forever lures us on. We never weary of their companionship because we are always discovering some fresh flow CT of fancy, some new well of feel ing, some unsuspected sparkling stream of wit. some rich pasture land of philosophy and wisdom, some mountain cliff of experience beyond which lies we know not what mcm- ories of other days.
 But the woman who tells us ev- erything she knows and thinks is like shallow bureau drawer that we turn out, and are done with, be- cause we have seed the whole of its contents. >
 4 very famous man once said to me that his idea of the kind of wife of whom a man would never tire was a woman to whom a man could be married for seven years without finding out whether her hair was her own or not.
 I commend that bit of masculine psychology to the gabbling ladies who tell their husbands everything. Copyright, 1923, by Public Ledrcr Co.

Your Home and You
By HELEN KENDALL
Fly HELEN KENDALL FIRST STITCHES

It was witty woman artist who said once on a time that if she could put her clothes together with thumb tacks she would be the best dressed woman in America! The modern col lege girl who spends her autumn-to- spring periods at her studies and her summers at a girls camp, and who goes into some sort of professional work immediately upon leaving col lege, has very little opportunity to learn to sew. Consequently when she marries and has two or three babies to clothe she often has to begin at the very beginning and laboriously train her fingers to manipulate needle.
 Sewing is a good deal like swim ming. The earlier one learns the less difficult it is. In our grandmothers' day the little child had to learn to ''sew a fine seam" at a very tender age, and although it was hardship at the moment, she was probably grateful in later years for the lessons in hemming, felling, piping and bind- ing, buttonholing, and>all the other tricks of the needle.
 Most little girls learn to sew by making their own doll clothes, but these are generally roughly and badly cut out and put together.
 You'd think they would want to learn to make these doll duds nicely, but they don't"' declared the mother of three small daughters. '.They like to get a dress made quickly instead of well. I've found that the, most successful way to induce my little girls to learn sewing is to give them some very simple article, such as wash cloth or towel, and get them to make it for their school teachers or their Sunday school teachers, or their favorite aunts. Doll clothes are too pernickety for little unskilled fingers. Even grown-up finds it hard to handre the tiny yokes. infinitesimal sleeves. and absurdly small bonnets. Children ought to learn on very plain, square pieces of material, slowly changing to more complicated ar ticles as they progress"
 There is a fascinating little sewing book for children, in which the scis- sors, thimble, needles, and so on, are all personified and given droll names. The illustrations amuse little girls immensely. The directions. although sugar-coated. are very clear and ex- piicIt, and the young reader learns to sew before she knows it.

CHAPTER
 Commencement day exercises were over at Miss Halls fashionable school in the Hudson river town.
 Most of the girls were to depart by late afternoon train, and there was the commotion of farewells on all sides.
 Winifred Scott was not leaving un- til tomorrow. Her home was in New York city. She could go to it at any time. Mary Dallas, western girl, was to take train to her distant home tomorrow morning and would spend tonight at Miss Halls. Wini- fred had asked permission to remain with her.
 Mary and I have been roommates for so long that it would be nice for us to have this last evening at school together" she explained to her father.
 Harrison Scott nodded compre- hendingly. That's all right, my dear. You wrote me that you would prob ably do this. I did not expect you to go home with me today"
 The daughter was conscious of a slight pang of disappointment. Not that she wished to drive back to the city with her parent this afternoon but she wished vaguely that he had wanted her to return with him. He of the fathers who had come to the school for the graduation exercises of their children. He had never been demonstrative. and had been less so since the death of his wife, four years ago.
 Perhaps Harrison Scott saw the slight shadow pass over the young face.
 ''Of course, I shall be glad to have you back with me once more." he added. "I only hope you will not find it dull in town after all the young society you have had out here.'
 He sighed as he spoke, and the daughter regarded him, more mar rowly than she had done until this moment. He was unnaturally pale. she observed Impulsively she turned to look for Donald Muir, the friend who had accompanied her father this afternoon. He was entering the room and came forward at this instant.
 Your car is ready. MT. Scott" he announced Then to Winifred: "I sug- gcsted your fathers starting soon instead of waiting until he gets over tired"
 Harrison Scott turned away to make his adieu to the principal of the school, and Winffred spoke hastily to Muir:
 .'Father is not well. is he? she de- manded anXiously. "I did not notice until now how pale he is. Whats the mattcr?"
