money to pay for a license and a
dollar or two for the minister as all
that is needed to enter into the mar

If they would wait a few years
they would not leap into something
without giving it due consideration.
The future so far as we are able
should be looked into. A home is to
be provided and the means to Keep
the larder filled should be carefully
considered. This should always be
done before embarking on the sea OF
matrimOny.
No home would be complete which
love did not abide within, but love
will not provide food and raiment,
and other things which go to make
a cozy home what it should be.
No person should think for mo-
ment to take unto themselves a wife
unless they feel sure that they can
give her a comfortable support and
are holding a position which IS
permanent at all seasons of the year

Perhaps this is the reason why
the courts of Delaware are so taxed
in trying divorce cases which has
become disgrace to the State.
Memorial Day
Memorial Day in Glendale was
celebrated in very quiet way.
More flags were displayed than
usual and everyone seemed anxious
to honor the dead heroes who fell
defending the flag. Several veterans
of the World War were selling pop
pies which were eagerly bought by
the citizens of the town and Vicln-
ity.
The graves of the soldier dead in
Red Mems cemetery, Glendale, New
Market cemetery, McColley's ceme-
terry and private burying grounds on
farms nearby, were profusely deco
rated by veterans belonging to the
American Legion.
The people of Glendale also TOOK
the occasion to decorate the graves
of their relatives who are inferred
in Red Mems cemetery and New
Market cemetery.
