Editor Midland Journal:
With the passing of Little New

strution of mt. Hope" Church, a
late trip to the locality suggests a
history of the church from my rec
objection, and also from statements
of older people. An evangelist NAM
ed "Hambright" visited the locality
somewhat previous to 1850, and
made such an impression as to have
the church built, when it was called

bered. This was before there was
any church at Rising Sun. A circum-
stance in our family shows there
was a service on Sunday mornings
about 1850. And in my recollection

held meetings and it was finally
taken over by Colored people for
worship. New York" was located
near the edge of one of the original
Nottingham Lots" of 500 acres
each, half a mile wide and extending
from Rising Sun road on the south
to the northern "Barrens, with
barren rock on the west, from a
fertile bottom where there is small
stream. A settlement extended to
the north along this line, including
half dozen houses, and some of the
early tenants were useful in the
varied employments of long ago.
The dividing lines between the
Nottingham Lots" can be traced
between the farms and along the
roads to the north, from the Rising
Sun road for distance of seven
miles to Blue Ball.

Consult Host
On Costume
For Dinner
By EMILY POST,

The most knowing people have
least hesitation in asking host or
hostess quite frankly what to wear
whenever they find themselves in
doubt. But the typical letter is this
one, asking me instead. us it proper
to wear hat to ladies' night din
ner given by a local mems club?
If so, what type of dress is correct?"
The answer to this is to ask your
personal host-the member who in
vited you to this dinner-what he
is going to wear. If your host is
wearing formal evening dress (tail
coaO, then you should wear your
best evening dress, with a smart
hair-do and of course no hat; If he
is wearing dinner clothes (tuxedo),
then simple evening dress and no
hat, or long afternoon dress and
small evening type Of hat. If he is
going to the dinner in a business
suit, then you wear day clothes
and hat.
Dear Mrs. Post: The wives and
husbands of my daughters office
associates have no earthly interest
in her coming marriage. In fact,
she knows only one or two of them.
However, the wedding is on a Sat-
urday, when the Offices are closed,
and believe you said that when
wedding like this takes place after
office hours, the husbands and wives
Of the people in the Office should be
invited. too. Does the same an
swer apply In every case?
Answer-For events that can be
considered social-and a wedding is
certainly social-you should send
the invitations to the home ad-
dresses of her office associates and
include their husbands and wives.
But If you cannot invite so many,
or If for any other reason you do
not want to include these outsiders,
your daughter may invite those in
the Office verbally. In this case she
would simply tell them when and
where she was being married and
that she would love to have them
with her If they cared to come.

Don't Combine
BY DOROTHY DIX.

Dear Miss Dix: My husband and
are both employed and we board
in q private home, but I am not
satisfied. I wish to do light house.
keeping and still hold my job, but
he says that it will be too hard on
me and If I 60 to housekeeping I
must give up my work. What do
you think? MARCO.
Answer think your husband Is
exactly right, and that no woman
should undertake to carry on two
Jobs at one time. OF course, many
women do. They work all day in
store or office and then rush home
and clean up the house and get din
ner. The result is that they are
nervous, peevish, overwrought and
end up in breakdown. The reason
that men last so much better in
business than women do is not be-
cause they are physically stronger
or have better health, but because
they have so much more sense about
taking care of themselves. When
a man does his days work he calls
1t a day and lets it 60 at that. He
doesn't 60 from work to his home
and cook his dinner and sit up half
the night pressing his trousers and
sewing on buttons.
No, indeed. He goes and gets
good, hot meal that somebody else
has cooked and that he hasn't had
to worry about or plan for. He
spends the evening reading or anus
ing himself, lets a tailor do his
mending and the laundry do his
washing.
But a woman superimposes the
work OF woman on her work of a
man. She does a mans work out
side Of her home and then comes
home and cooks and scrubs, washes
and retrims her hat and takes tuck
in her skirt. Then just about the
time when she is getting to the place
in business where she is capable Of
drawing down a good salary she
blows up in nervous prostration.
Furthermore, no woman can per-
from satisfactorily two jobs. When
she tries it she falls between the
stools and is good at neither. She
isn't good in her job because she
isn't giving her whole mind to it.
She has half her thought on won-
dering how things are coming along
in the f1reless cooker, and If she
forgot to shut the icebox door, and
trying to remember all the things
she has to get at the delicatessen.
When she gets home she is too tired
and frazzled to cook a real meal or
to eat 1t after she gets it cooked.
So, take your husbands advice,
Margo, and board with somebody
else until you are able to set UP
real home and devote all of your
time to it. Light housekeeping" is
well named light" There is mighty
little substance to 1t, and I don't
blame a man for not wanting to leave
q place where there is real food to
be had. DOROTHY DIX.
