NO ROOM FOR THE CHILDREN
Laura B. Gray


Where is Benny?" inquired his
father at lunch one doy.
oh, he has gone to play with the
smiths; he played there all the
morning, and he could hardly wait
to finish his lunch before going
back"
He seems to be always there; 1
don't like it; l should like my son to
be in his own home sometimes"
So should l, but l can't keep him
at home"
Mrs. Hamilton looked around at
her neat, well-kept home: the taste
fully furnished sitting room with its
polished floor, new rugs, and hand
painted cushions; the attractive din
ing room; the sewing room; the
sun room for the plants; the dainty
Kitchen. Benny's toy box was in
the kitchen, it was the only thing
that did not quite tone in with the
color scheme. She thought of the
spare bedroom, and Daddy's bedroom,
and her own room with Benny's
pink and white crib in one corner.
1t was all so well-appointed. 81 Won
der why Benny does not like to stay
at home," she murmured.
Mother, come and see! Mrs.
Smith says you may! Come and see
what we have made Benny had
burst into the house, his little face
glowing with excitement.
"All right, Benny" answered Mrs.
Hamilton, taking the boys hand and
starting out. "But we must ask the
little Smiths to come and play at
your house tomorrow; you go to
play with them so often"
Benny's face dropped. But, moth
er, there is nothing to do in our
house."
What do you do at the Smiths
house?"
eve play trains"
well, you have lots of trains; your
box is full of them"
Eyes. but have nowhere to play
with them"

GORDY-PATEY-
BRITTINGHAM
FAMILY REUNION
Second Annual Affair
Held At Willards Camp
Sunday, September 10.

The Second annual meeting of the
Gordy- -Patey-Brittingh family was
held at Willards camp grounds, at
Willards, Md, on Sunday, September
10. After a picnic dinner, the family,
consisting of over fifty members
gathered in the tabernacle on. the
camp grounds where they were ad-
dressed by Orlando Shockley of
Showells, Md, who gave a very in
teresting talk. After the talk by Mr..
Shockley, Peter Otis Gordy Rayne,
historian of the association, gave a
review of his research work during
the past year. He told of how the
progenitOr of the clan, one Moses
Gordy was shipwrecked off the coast
of Delaware, near what is now the
City of Milford, in 1742, and reached
shore by swimming the Milford
Creek (Mispillion River), where he
was befriended by Indians. There
have been eight generations of the
family since Moses Gordy made his
appearance on the Del-Mar-Va Pen
insula.
Following this sketch of historic
interest to the family, Rev. Gray
gave a brief talk and urged all to
back the NRA. The program was in
terspered with singing, instrument
tai music and several duets and
quartets, and flag drill.
The following officers were elect
ed for the ensuing year: President,
Mrs. William Purnell of Salisbury,
Nd; secretary-treasurer, Earle F.
of Milford; historian,
P. o. G.. Rayne, of Snow Hill. Md.
The meeting then adjourned to
meet in 1884 at the same place, the
first Sunday after Labor Day, which
next year will be September 9.

A WOMAN'S ANSWER TO A
MANS QUESTION
(By Mary L. Lathrop)

(By Mary L. Lathrop)
Do you know you have asked for the
costliest thing
Ever made by the Hand above
A womans heart and womans
life
And a woman's wonderful love?
Do you know you have asked for this
priceless thing
AS a child might ask for a toy.
Demanding what others have died
to win,
With the reckless dash of a boy?
You have written my lesson of duty
out,
Manlike you have questioned me;
Now stand at the bar of my wom-
ans soul
Until I shall question thee.
You require your mutton shall al
ways be hot,
Your socks and your shirts shall
be whole;
l require your heart to be true as
Gods stars
And pure as heaven your soul.
You require a cook for your mutton
and beef;
l require far better thing.
A seamstress you're wanting for
stockings and shirts;
l look for man and a king.
A king for a beautiful realm called
home,
And a man that the maker, God.
Shall look upon as He did the first.
And say, ut is very good"
1 am fair and young, but the rose
will fade
From my soft young cheek one day. |
Will you live then, mid the falling
leaves.
AS you did mid the bloom of May? |
Is your heart an ocean so strong
and deep
| may launch my all on its tide?
A loving woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she is made a bride.
require all things that are grand
and true,
All things that a man should be;
( you give all this, would stake
my life.
TO be all you demand of me.
If you cannot do this. laundress,
a cook
You can hire. with little to pay.
But a woman's heart and a woman's
life.
IRE not to be won that way.
