An old writer of
verse once spoke OF
"skeins of rain" and
think we ell saw
just what he meant on Monday
and Tuesday when Milford and
vicinity had such a downpour
Of water. It looked like con-
tinuous streams of something
from heavenward. It was bad
" needed and the things that
have been suffering for the
want Of moisture will have a
new lease on life and begin
again to grow. Not only crops
but the vegetables and flowers
will be benefited. Any passer-
by may see the beautiful field
Of vari-colored gladioli being
raised by my brother, E. ].
Salevan, at his home near
town and marvel at the
strength and loveliness of
each bloom. He is raising
them for commercial purposes,
which is nice. for they are cas-
lily accessible to us in town.
The past week had a Friday.
the thirteenth, in it, and that
was the day of the. large party
given BY Mrs. Walter L. Grler,
who had as her co-hostesses,
Mrs. Frank R. eGrier, Mrs. Lo-
gan Grier and Mrs. Garrett L.
Grier. It was nice for their
guetss to gather at the COM
modius Rehoboth Beach Coun-
try Club for luncheon and for
bridge. There was a goodly
number, too. who enjoyed the
luncheon and jost sat in var
iOus parts Of the club to visit
with each other. Again the
summer bouquets and the sum-
mer dresses made a color pic
tuTe that was pleasant to see.
There were no casualties be-
cause Of the date of the day
and everything passed off just
as it was planned for the
pleasure of the large number
Of friends.
Word comes that Mr.. and
Mrs. Vernon GuerTazzi Of
Millsboro welcomed a son in
the Peninsula General Hospi-
tai in Salisbury on Monday.
This fine son has been named
for his dad. Mrs. Guerazzi
will be remembered as the
former Miss Mildred Ham
mond. They have a daughter
Diane. A son, too. arrived to
gladden. the hearts Of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Dickerson, who has
been named John Nailor Dick
erson, which would make you
know that the mother was the
former Miss Marian NailOr. It
seems a good and appropriate
time to inform you that there
we're fifty-two new arrivals in
Memorial Hospital the first
thirteen days Of this month.
Surely there is no alarm about
race suicide.
