YOUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton
JEALOUSY EATS INTO
 THE FAMH,Y'S

THE FAMILY'S HEART
 It so happens sometimes. even in the best of families, that one par ent becomes jealous of another. l have seen fathers grow jealous of mothers occasionally, but more frequently it has been my expe- rience to see mothers get very jeal- ous of fathers.
 They do it quite unconsciously, of course, and if accused would deny it emphatically. But women are strangely made and the strang- est thing about them is the de- fense. an aggressive defense, for the love of their children; even against their father, if need be. And when this happens the first thing they do is to call attention to the fathers shortcomings. There was one family I knew that . almost smashed to pieces over this very matter after years of peace and content and mutual love.
 At first when the babies came there was very little money. Dur ing their early childhood, there was more but still not enough money to unbalance the harmony of the home.
 Turned to Father
 When the girl was twelve and the boy nine, their father rather suddenly made small fortune. And then their mother noticed a gradual leaning away from herself toward him where the children were concerned.
 Where before they had gone to her for everything, now they be- gan to look to their father for things. He was the one they took their troubles to, and he was the one to whom they looked for per mission. It was not as bad as their mother thought, however, for she jumped to conclusions about many matters that were not important in the least.
 She began then to call their at tention to their fathers defects. It was done sometimes almost without her knowledge. Indeed she did not know herself that she was jealous of her husbands newer rating with his children. The trou- ble was mostly about the boy. She wanted the boy to be her own, for him to feel toward her as she felt toward him, that she was the most important person in the world. Mutual Devotion Needed Between the age of nine and nineteen, the boy absorbed the idea that his father was anything but what he ought to be, a direct swing away from the hero worship of his childhood. His sister remained loyal. however, to her father.
 There was no need for it to hap pen as it did. People said the money had caused 1t, and so it had indirectly, but the mothers jeal- ousy was mostly to blame.
 A united family life depends on harmony between parents and a defense of each other to the chill dren. Mothers are not always the culpable ones. Fathers too can criticize q mother before a family and cause trouble. It should never happen in either case.

CON TRACT
Ae ru,z&A1 RRDGL #, ~, ,r

The bidding was South one dia- mond, West two clubs, North two spades. East three clubs South pass, West pass. North bid three diamonds, East four clubs, South pass, West pass. North bid four diamonds, East pass, South pass. West four hearts. North bid five diamonds and East doubled.
 The Play.
 West won the opening trick with the king of clubs and then led the six of hearts which MT Won Zedt- witz, who was the declarer, triumped in dummy with the three of diamonds. A small diamond was led from dummy and won by MT Won Zedtwitz in the South. West showed out, discarding a club. A small spade was then led to dummy's queen and won by East with the ace. ,e
 If East were to return club, MT Won Zedtwitz's contract would be defeated, but East made the mistake of leading the ace of hearts which was triumped in dummy with the six of diaonds and Mir Won Zedtwitz could then see the possibility of a tripe squeeze. The king of diamonds was led from dummy, followed by the nine of diamonds, South win ming with the jack, West discard ing club, now being down to the ace. The queen of diamonds was next led and West discarded a heart, and now South led hts last diamond and West was squeezed on all three suits.
 He held the pack and nine of spades, the queen and ten of hearts and the ace of clubs. If he dis carded the ace of clubs, South's queen was good-if he discarded the ten of hearts. South's king and jack were both good, while If he discarded, the nine of spades, all the spades in dummy would be good.
 While the contract could easily have been defeated. you will notice that. MT Won Zedtwitz was not slow to take advantage of his oppon- ents' mistake. .

SYNOPSIS

Owen Lands, young inventor, In
the little town of Carthage, has de-
veloped an extraordinary "silencer,"
which Is stolen from a safe in his
laboratory. Lands tells Wally
Markham, his chum, the only per-
son, beside himself, knowing the
combination of the safe, is Betty
Lawson, daughter of a college pro-
fessor, with whom the inventor is in
love. Markham takes a plaster cast
of woman's footprint, found be-
meath the window of the labora-
tory, and takes an opportunity to
fit it to one of Betty's shoes. They
are identical. Betty tells Markham
Herbert Candy, a stranger, posing
as a promoter" had driven her
home the previous night, and that
she had dozed in the car. Mark
ham does not tell Lands of his dis
covery. Vaguely suspicious of Can
by's honesty, he searches his hotel
room, in his absence, finding two
loaded automatic revolvers and o
complete set Of burglars tools.
Candy brings the revolvers and
burglars kit to the hotel clerk,
claiming to have just found them
in his room. That night the safe in
the bank of the small town of
Perthdale is blown open and looted,
the noise of the explosion being un-
heard. Satisfied that his "black box"
is in the hands of crooks, Lands,
with Markham, goes to Perthdale.
Three strangers, claiming to be
business men of Louisville, are the
only possible suspects.

Biting Remarks

What is the most biting thing
ever said by a statesman about a
political opponent? ] have always
put highest Disraeli's description OF
John Stuart Mill as a finishing gov
erness, and the saying, usually at
tributed to Lord Balfour, that If a
certain politician had a little more
brains, he might be described as
half-witted. But here is an acid
comment from an unexpected quar-
ter. Gladstone's style was too tor
rental as a rule to permit of epi-
grams. But he once observed of a
man whom he distrusted that ''he
was Of composition to which wa.
ter would add stability."-London

OFFICERS OF DIOCESE

At Wednesdays session of the
l47th convention of the Diocese of
Delaware nine clerical and seven
lay delegates were elected to repre-
sent the Diocese at the Provincial
Synod. They were: Clerical, the
Rev. Joseph carp, the Rev. Martin
J. Bran, the Rev. Charles w. Clash.
the Rev. Charles A. Rantz, the
Rev. Frederick T. Ashton, the Rev.
Charles F. Penniman, the Rev.

Hellings, Robert Forman, Freder-
lex Bringhurst, Judge Richard S.
Rodney, A. Felix DUPONT, A. A.
Lord, and Colonel George A.
Elliott. For the first time the
convention employed the principles
of the single ballot, which caused
considerable discussion last year.
At the 1881 convention a commit
tee headed by the Rev. John Slit
tell, D. D., of Lewes, was appoint
ed to study preferential balloting.
The committee presented it's rep
port and it was decided to employ
the single ballot in the present con-
vention's elections as a sort of test
case. Through the new method it
is claimed that the elections for
delegates and alternates for pro-
vincial synods and general conven-
tions can be completed at a consid-
cradle saving of the convention S
time. Frederick Bringhurst was
reelected treasurer of the conven-
tion. Judge Charles NJ. Curtis
was renominated for the position
Of registrar but he refused to ac-
cept, nominating instead the Rev.
John S. Littell, D. d., of LeWes,
who was elected by order Of the
convention, the secretary casting
the necessary ballot. The follow
ing were elected to the standing
