Our House
BY koroh smoridge
(From February Good HoRseksebins)

You see snug, suburban house
With pocket-hanky lawn,
A house that's honey. gay, and
sweet
Though its new look is gone.
You only see a bare-kneed boy.
Who's much like any other;
A freckled girl with tumbled hair.
Who takes after her mother.
But if / see a heaven-on-earth
With little cherubs in it,
You mustn't think I've lost my wits,
Consider for a minute
How, ever since this world began,
Each doting mothers nose
Has been especially equipped
With spectacles of rosel

ECHOES FROM CHESWOLD

Last Wednesday, the 26th, our
neighborhood was given consider
able life, a wedding at Bethel
Church. The contracting parties
were Miss Mollie Conaway and
Henry T. Denney. Rev. r. K.
Stephenson made the happy couple
one in the presence of full church
of friends and spectators.
Three of the farmers in this vi
cinity have moved to New Castle
county to try farming there.
We gladly correct our statement
made last week of burning and the
subsequent deaths of the twenty
year-old son of Henry Moore. We
since learn the burning was not
serious. He is about again, doing
well, and no doubt enjoys reading
his obituary in other papers as well
as the Times.

in the end. declared the Rev. MI.
Pavy, a native of England, who
resided in Canada for Is years.
Despite living now under the con.
slant threats Of bombings from Nazi
planes, he said, the English are re.
fusing to become hysterical because
of their self control and wonderful
balance Of mind.
The speaker urged Americans to
have a greater realization of h
horrors and aftermath of war, which
at present in Europe is destroying
the potential manhood Of genera.
tons to come.
Americans should not fall for the
war propaganda that is being sent
out by belligerents in the present
conflict and should have q better
understanding of tragic and destruc~
tive consequences Of war;" he said.
The Rev. Mr.. Pavy pointed to the
relationships of Canada and the
United States as an example of ma.
lions living together in peace.
brotherhood, and in a cooperative
spirit. -
The speaker, who was introduced
by the Rev. C. D. Barclift, pastor
Of the Fifth Avenue Methodist
church, discussed in detail his X
periences in England and Canada,
touching upon the rural, urban, re-
lisious and educational life of his
native land.

Hello. Gee but you look fine to-

How'd you know I was dane

I'm psychic. Now hold still a
moment''-she pretended to 60 into
a trance, holding her forhead, eyes
closed, looking very tense-"you
spoke of theft, but you acted in
terms of romance. I see mucn
dancing. Music. String music. Spi-
cy food. Per~ery. Coloful decor

can?-it is. I see you and her at a
small table. I see"
"Sa-a-a-say!" Bill interrupted.
Were you-you said you stayed
here all evening, alone.
"Oh, I did,"
But look-you-look, Gayle, I
had to do that. I mean, l wanted to
take Lola out and-and sort Of

Sure, I know how it is. Sort of
dance and talk and eat and have a
good time. Everybody likes to do
that. Why are you trying to spoil
ogize, Bill?"
She spoke eve so cheerfully, but
factually, and with just that right
little touch of impersonal coldness
which a clever girl can show. Bill
was instantly miserable. He set in
to improve his condition at once.
Gayle, on the other hand, was in
stantly ashamed of herself. ute
without reasoning about it, she had
tacitly reprimanded him. She
couldn't say why. There was no
earthly reason why Bill shouldn't
take Lola Montesa dancing. She,
Gayle, had no strings on either Of
them, surely.
And yet-there had been a sort
of growing, if unspoken, UNDER
standing between her and Bill.
They had been thrown together
happily from the first morning Mr..
Merrifield hired them, and they
had joint responsibilities since.
Hence it just sort of seemed that

Look, Gayle, I want to talk to
you. I'll go get the car and we'll

She wanted to say yes. But she
had already set her course and in.
