Strawberries are on the wane.

ted in Pearl alley behind the post
office, the property of c. P. Jones.

/ South Walnut and Second Streets
, he finds is to small, since he has
had so many cases during the past
year which necessitated the rent
ing of hall for the hearings.
Alderman Hendrixson expects to
move in his large office within
, few weeks.
A touring car with New Jersey
license and very much beribboned

Just Married" passed through Mil
ford on Tuesday. 1t was learned
that the bridegroom was Howard
Evans Trueland, young man well
known in Milford, who formerly was
employed in Dover. His bride was
Miss Nellie Gladys Larned, of Pleas
antville, N. j., and the marriage
took place in Pennington, N. j., on
June 16.
The free music furnished the ten
mis- players on the new court behind
the Parish House, gives more zest
to the playing, and the jazz is so
irresistible that a new sport is be-
ing introduced in Milford dancing
the Charleston while knocking balls
over the net! The music energies
from a house nearby and its me-
chanical rythm leads one to believe
from aI pianolo. At any rate, it is
very enjoyable to have music with
our tennis, and the players hope
the musician will keep it up.
On last Friday afternoon a very
pleasant porch party was held at
the home of Mrs. w. T. Watson, Jr.
on North Walnut Street from to5.
Everyone was cordially invited to
this affair, given by the Ladies,
Auxiliary of the Milford Emergency
Hospital, with Miss Edna Barker
as chairman, and Mrs. Watson
kindly lending her porch for the
purpose. There were card tables
for those who cared to play cards,
and the rest chatted together soc1-
ably. Punch and waters were SER
we'd. and a silver offering was taken
for the hospital, the receipts being |
very pleasingl This party will
probably be followed by others OF !
the same nature.

ure she had given them.

ried out in detail, each table being
decorated with bud vase contain
ing shell flowers, bathing girl talley
and place cards, salted peanuts ser
we'd in shells surrounded with green
crepe paper to initiate the green of
the waves. Even the refreshments

lettuce, deviled clans, etc. Prizes
