THINGS WORTHWHILE

What is really worthwhile in this
old world,
Is it the fame that you have won?
The thing that is worthwhile, 1t
seems to me,
Are the kind deeds you have done;
The self-control, when irritations
arise
Your determination to smile,
When everything goes dead wrong,
Are some of the things that are
worthwhile.
The influence you give to a strand
ed soul
To start him the narrow way
The hearts you cheer, when nope
seems gone,
These are the things that pay.

A delightful party was given on
Friday night by Mrs. William G.
Smith and Miss Virginia H. Smith.
1t is the first large party that Mil
ford folks have had an opportunity
to enjoy for a month or two. In
fact the last large party was the
one given by Mrs. ]. Postles Ham
mond at the Salevan Tea Shoppe
the latter part of May. So it was
fun to see all the home folks and to
greet some old friends from dis
tance. The school friends of Miss
Smith are an addition to any party,
so it was decided success. Every
one played Auction bridge. Since
the advent of Contract bridge the
play will have to be specified. The
Smiths guests were Mrs. r. Morti-
mer Browning, of New York city;
Mrs. Dudley G. Frazer, of Detroit;
Miss Virginia Swain, of Bridgeville;
Miss Betty Varney, of Rehoboth;
Miss Jeanette Frame, Miss Mary
Louise Mayer, Miss Elizabeth Mayer,

Symbols OF Summer

Have you tried contract bridge"
and "Howdo you like it" were two
questions that one heard over and
over at the Smith party last week.
Mrs. John Underwood, of Philadel-
phia, has recently conducted classes
that Milford people might play what
every one else is playing. Just now
the game is in the embroyo stage,
but as time goes on there will be
adopts at contract bridge just as
there are in everything else. 1t is
the consensus of opinion, however,
that it will never be popular at big
parties where one sees all of their
friends and has to tell all of the
things that has been done since the
last party. 1t is a game for brain
capacity and thought and will be
ideal for the small club or a one
table gathering of which Milford can
boast.

which no right minded person
will disagree.
But, it is beginning to drawn
upon great many people that
there is q corresponding obliga
ton resting upon those who
make our laws. It is the corol.
larry that order to be respected
law should be of such a char
acter as to command respect
through its manifest reasonable
ness aud justice.
This point is forcibly made by
q Michigan newspaper which
comments on the sentence of two
persons, one man and one wo
man. to hfe imprisonmentin in tina,
state for violating the prohibi
ton law for the fourth time.
Granting that habitual disre
gard of the prohibition law is
deserving of drastic punishment,
few will contend that life i'm
prisonment is justified as pen
atty for petty bootlegeing. such
as the Michigan victims were
convicted of. AS the newspaper
says:
Public indignation has been
aroused; the Legislature is now
with the task Of re
moving four time liquor violators
from the life imprisonment class
and the sooner it is admitted by
all that life is too severe fol-
liquor violation cases, the quick
er will our law makers arrive al
the creation of justifable pun
ishment-the kind Of punishment
that will win the respect Of SO
ciety."
