WE KNOW of nothing in a city
which can compare in warmth of
community interest with Saturday
night in the small town. Any mar
ket town in Delaware or Maryland
or any place else for that matter,
provides the scene of old-fashioned
neighborliness that has only been
increased in recent years by the
graveled road and automobile. Along
about noon, in Milford, or Dover or
Salisbury or any other town of the
kind, the parking space in the down
town districts rapidly fills up. The
farmers are coming in for their
weekend shopping and their week
end relaxation from work in the
field or in the dairy barn. AS eve
ming approaches the throngs on the
sidewalks increase, and after the
supper hour is passed the crowd be-
comes dense as the tOwnfolk make
their weekly pilgrimage downtown.
The small-town stores all stay open
Saturday night. The aisles are filled
with men and women and children.
Shopping is not so much the goal as
the exchange of greetings, the salute
of friends seen after the lapse of
days, the interested sizing up of
newcomers. This is the time for w0-
men to exchange their gossip, and
for men to speculate upon condi-
tions of the soil and the tendency of
business. Everyone in the town and
nearby territory is there. Young
couples push baby carriages. Gay
young bloods pick out their girls for
the dance or the movies. Older
heads meet in fraternity of friend
ship which knows no irritants.
Along about $3.50 the farmers who
live at the greatest distance gather
their families and the autos begin
to leave. In another hour or two the
streets are cleared. The Sabbath
morning will find them silent and
deserted. The weekend foregather-
ing has been held. Affairs of state
and nation, as well as the problems
of the individual and the family
have been settled. Everything is at
normalcy-until next Saturday.

CHRISTMAS BUYING

Our people here in Milford are
prepared to spend large amount of
money on Christmas gifts. 1t will
make a big difference to the COM
munity, whether they spend it here
at home, or go somewhere else for
a sizeable share of those purchases.
If spent practically all at home,
that Christmas money will make a
splendid gift to our home commun-
ity. 1t will bring a wave of prosper
ity to our stores. 1t will permit
them to start out on their 1881 bus
mess with new faith and courage,
prepared to enlarge their trade, take
on more help, and cover a greater
area of territory. Let us be Santa
Claus to Milford by spending our
money at home.

OVERLOOK

Holly wreath makers are not cv-
er anxious to make these Christmas
trimmings this season, as the price
is very small; in fact, many are not
doing it.
The wedding of Albert Mitchell
and Mrs. Jennie Moore, of near
MillsborO, took place November 22,
1880, at Salisbury, Md, and their
friends here extended congratula-
tions by giving the man old fash
ioned "calathumpian" serenade last
Monday. A real old "billy goat" for
ed part of the parade, but it became
obsterperous and its managers left
it in the Chicken house" for safe
keeping.
An entertainment is on the pro-
gram for Whites Chapel during
Christmas, but the date is not fixed.
Services at Whites Chapel on
Sunday will be: Sunday school 10

q pleated ruffie.
You may buy rllching by the yard
made of net, chiffon or organdie, in
black white or pastel tones. or you
may make 1t yourself from almost any
sort of material you choose.
Sometimes the silk of which the dress
Is made is cut into strips frayed at the
sides and then pleated into ruches. II
you like, the edges may be finished with
machine picot. An attractive and easy
way to make ruching may be made
from ribbon. If you have ribbon an
inch wide you may lay it in single inch
wide box pleats, and for this you will
need three times as much ribbon as the
finished ruching. If you want very
full ruching you may lay the ribbon in
double box pleats and then you will
need five times as much as the finished
ruche.
In the dress sketched a doubleboX-
pleated fiounce trims the wide collar.
1t Is made of the material for the
dress, and is finished along the lower
edge with tiny fiat stitched hem. 1t
might be picot finished, as well.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Mental Sham Battles.

The philosopher sums everything up
and pronounces life struggle.
The psychologist goes beneath the
surface of every day actions and reac-
tions and studies the individual tactics
employed in the struggle. He finds that
human beings stage variety Of mental
sham battles.
The bully is really a coward
Forgetting is sometimes disinclina-
ton to renew the struggle on the OPP
ponent'S home grounds.
An exaggeration of the Importance of
trifiing affairs Is generally smoke
screen, designed to turn attention away
from fundamental facts.
Intolerance Is frontal attack on the
man who threateps to expose weak
ness.
Conceit Is flank movement calcu-
lated to reinforce feeling Of inferiority
Prudishness is gesture marshalled
in defense of weakened moral code.
Excuses are generally the raw re-
cruits Of laZiness
Emotional stampedes are the CON-
pensatory equivalents Of abject fear

Variety in Coiffures.

While the close-cropped bob has
definitely gone out of style to be sup
planted by longer hair, the pendulum
OF fashion has not yet swung BACK TO
the opposite extreme. There was q
period when women gloried in having
iuXuriant treSseS that fell below the
hlps, but now there are few indeed who
could make such boast or who would
care to do so. Hair of about shoulder
length is the present vogue.
One OF the artistic advantages Of
very long tresses is that great variety
OF coiffuring is possible. There y prac-
tically no room for variety when the
hair is bodied short, but the medium
lengths lend themselves to different
arrangements. Hairdressers are design
ing ingenious variations for coiffures
with hair that Is neither long nor very
short
The character of a couture may be
changed entirely by so simple a device
as altering the position or the length
of the part. There are short parts
about 2 inches in length around which
the hair may be waved In horseshoe
effect; this arrangement gives height
and certain dignity. The long center
part that runs from the forehead all
the way back to the neck is girlish and
quaint; 1t is especially becoming to
dainty. feminine types.
Then there is the diagonal part that
Is very modern. The diagonal part
couture is for the girl who has per-
sonality and who knows how to dress
smartly. The hair may be MARCHED or
finger waved parallel with the part.
Another way to vary the seasons
coiffures Is to have the hair cut in diff
ferent lengths. For example, part the
hair from ear to ear and divide the
front into two side sections and a large
central section. Brush the central
strand of hair to the right and cut 1t
at point about level with the right
ear. Put a high wave in this section
and curl the ends In ringlets that
cluster above the right temple. The
side sections of hair are cut long enough
to reach the chin level and they should
be waved and pinned over the ears.
The remainder of the hair, which Is
shoulder length, is waved across the
back and the ends are curled ND In
roll across the nape Of the neck.

There is no time to be afraid.
Peter Rabbit

Peter Rabbit was greatly distressed.
Over in the Green Forest, Lightfoot the
Deer and another Deer of about his own
size had fought until at last their
antlers became locked; and there they
were, head to head. unable to separate.
All the Green Forest knew about 1t. 1t
seemed as If every one had paid that
part of the Green Forest a visit. Peter
Rabbit had not learned of the fight in
time to see it, but he had heard of the
accident, and. of course, he had hurried
over there. Peters heart was filled with
pity.
Peter knew that, IL only Farmer
Browns Boy would come along, all
would be we'll Peter has great faith in
Farmer Browns Boy. So he had done
his best to try to think Of some way Of
getting Farmer Browns Boy over there.
Finally Peter saw Sammy Jay. Sammy

IDLE MEN AND IDLE MACHINES
minneapolis Tribune)

In the general and sincere concern
for the relief of unemployment it is
perhaps inevitable that some fantastic
eXpedients for providing work for the
needy and jobless will be evolved.
Jobs are obviously the answer to
unemployment, jobs at wage levels
which square with American living
standards. The situation is one de-
handing straight thinking Yet there
is evidence that this situation is de-
velOping some such hysteria as it did
in England during the era of the ma
chine riots, another adjustment period
nearly forgotten, but in many respects
parallel to the present situation in
America.
The situation is hardly so bad that
jobs at any price should be made a
desperate objective. In many sections
propositions are pending to prohibit
the use of machines in public build
ing undertakings in order that addi-
tional opportunity for employment
may be afforded idle men.
me TACT seems 10 De quite forgotten
that when the machine is abandoned
enforced idleness will result for many
men now gainfully employed. The
machine has been one of the great
emancipators of labor. In many of
the artisan groups it has increased
wages and increased opportunity for
employment. A general return to the
pick and-shovel me hods us d in build
ing construction would with out much
question produce an economic malad-
justment equal to that it seeks to
correct
1t is doubtful if any lasting benefit
to the unemployed will be conferred
