SUB ROSA
by MIMI.
Last Lady of the Land.

How the times and styles have
changed since the long skirt swept
through the halls of the White House
and swept up the dust of Washington!
If you want to know what was
meant by ladies" in the days when
these creatures held sway, you can
take the women of today and put
back what they took off-hair and
hat, skirts and corsets. For the fe.
males of today are the ladies of the
past minus the appendages pathetical-
ly referred to.
When ladyhood was in bloom there
was a great deal less noise than there
is now. Women were seen. to a cer-
tain extent, but not heard. AS Emer-
son said. "a lady is serene" But that
was all before we had attained to the
Jazz period and saxophone era of our
proud civilization.
We are a noisy bunch, but we have
to make a certain amount of racket
in order to be heard. All that the
lady of the past could do was to emit
genteel scream now and then, as
when a mouse romped toward her
skirts. We have cut out the polite
scream, but we make up for 1t by
bawling our opinions out in public
and private.
When ! turn to the question of in.
door sports you'll see in a second that
the ladies of the past never acknowl.
edge Lady Nicotine as member of
their set. That is, they didn't smoke
and run the amount of cigarette con.
sumption up to one hundred billion
per annum.
With their rich masses of fragrant
hair and the bales of dress goods
draped upon them. they could never
have stood for the odors they would
have had to carry around with them.
But now that we are coiffed and
clothed like men, we can indulge in
the male habit of whiting the weed.
This is one grand age in the history
OF womanhood and we may rejoice
that we are free. But, just the same.
we have lost something since the last
lady of the land passed away.

MOTHERS
One Days Happenings.
AND THEIR CHILDREN.

My three children had no end of
fun this Summer writing what they
called the family chronicles. Each
wrote his or her own version of what
happened each day in the family and
it was surprising to see our family
life from three different viewpoints.
We all enjoyed our Summer trip more
than usual because of this added fun.
1t might be a welcome idea to ask
the children to write their visions of
some memorable day, when time seems
to lag.

DWELLING DESTROYED BY FIRE

An alarm sounded at about 3:l5
o'clocks Friday morning last, called
the Community Fire Company to
Iticharusmere, where the new dwell
ling of Jack Dalton, along the State
road had been discovered on fire.
The firemen were soon on the
scene, with both chemical engine
and big pumper, but the flames had
made such progress before the fire
was discovered that the dwelling
was doomed. Attention was direct
ed to the saving Of the dwelling of
Clarence Krauss, which was in such
close proximity that it seemed GER
tain it too would be burned, but by
hard work the fire was prevented
from spreading.
The Dalton dwelling, together
with contents, was completely des-
troyed.
AS the family was away from
home at the time, there is streng
suspicion that the fire was Of incen-
diary origin.

SUITS FOR DAMAGES
Claims Amounting To 100000 En-
tered In Circuit Court

The largest damage suits ever en-
tered in Cecil Circuit Court have
been docketed against the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company at Elkton,
by Joshua Clayton, Esq, counsel for
relatives of DR.. Lester H. Sparks,
James e. Westhall and Loen James
Westhall, all of Lakewood, N. j.,
who were killed by northbound
passenger train on the morning OF
January 21st last, while they were
attempting to pass over Red Mill
grade crossing, located in the west
ern section of Elkton. All the suits
are for 100000 each. There is
also to be another suit filed because
there is poshumous child to be
considered. McCue & Beecroft, of
Lakewood, N. j.. owners of the
Packard automobile, which was
struck by the train, have also dock
eted suit for damages to the car.
Counsel for the plaintiffs allege that
when the three men who were kill
ed, reached the crossing, which was
being protected by an additional
watchman on account of the very
heavy fog that day, gates were set
for a southbound passenger train,
and while waiting for the train to
pass, seven or eight automobiles
were held up. After the south
bound train passed, the gates were
raised and the waiting machines
started across the tracks at that
point. After several of the cars had
passed over the tracks in safety and
before the machine containing the
three men from Lakewood could be
stopped, the fast northbound passen-
ger train No. LA was within few
feet of the crossing and struck the
Packard sedan, grinding it to pieces.
The Coroner's jury censured the
the railroad company for not having
a bell in the watchman's box to warn
the watchman of approaching trains.
