I think 1 havo told on of the houf-e for
convulescents In Darby, which has been In
existence for bomo live or cl yarn, and
lifts' taken caro of and helped lo bring back
health to qulto as many thousand peoplo
ns It has had jenrs of life. Tho house Is
not endowed and depends entirely on the
charity of good pcoplo for Its upkeep. One
gentleman paid off thu mortgages, other
kind friends gavo a horso and wagon, and
furniture was collected from nenily every
body's attic and put Into order. And It Is
Just tho loveliest, big, old-fashioned house,
with well-kept grounds, and tho dear pcoplo
who havo regained their health In this
liavcn look back to It with tho greatest
pleasure.
The llov. Kinncls X. Wastl, who is a
chaplain nt tho Almshouse, Is chaplain at
St. Francis's Houso ulio, nnd U heart and
i-oul Interested In tho work, for ho Is able
to send hlsi poor peoplo from lllockley out
tlirro to recuperate before leturnliiR home
to take up tho work of their dally routine.
Think of that!

ycSTKUDAY camo'the announcement of
Helen Dorda's wedding, but the date on
the announcements was not the right one,
you seo, because, though in making ar
rangements thero becmed llttlo doubt of
her arriving in time nt tho Virgin Islands
to bo married on January 15; when the
tlmo c.iino to go, tho sailing had to be put
off from early on tho ninth till Into on tho
tenth nnd additional dajs were taken In
making St. Thomas, so when .she and Mrs,
Hakanson, who Joined her at St. Thomas,
urrlvcd In St. Croix, It was Saturday Instead
of Tuesday, and tho wedding instead of
taking place as tho announcements sav on
January IS took placo on January 19. Of
course, tho cards had been already en
graed, so they could bo sent out as soon
as tho family recehed tho dablo faying
that sho arrived safely and was married to
Doctor lloyster, so there was nothing to do,
but tend them, as they were. I was certainly
glad to hear that she hart arrived safely.
You never can toll what may happen theso
days, nnd there's always a sigh of relief
when you hear that any ono you lovo has
leached port safely after being on the
high sens.
YOlT remember Kinlllo IClcauor Owens,
who came out hero last year. Her en
gagement was unnounced jestcrday by
her parents, Captain Arthur llurnenon
Owens, t. H. M. C, and Mrs. Owens, to
Chandler Darnard, who, by the way. Is u
son of Mr. and Mrs. AVllsou lint-tint d. of
JTryii Mawr, Kinlllo was Introduced at a
dansant which was given nt tho navy yatd.
Sho Is extremely pretty nnd Is a great fu
ror I to In tho younger set. No date has
been set yet for tho wedding.
TjIATHEU was, some ten years ago, ono
-- of our leading football lights, and nat
urally ho wanted son to bo an athlete too,
and u bravo boy abovo nil things.
Bo when Junior, aged six and having ids
flret year nt school, como In muddy and
sniffling, his father buu to him: "You
mustn't cry, old fellow; you must hit back.
Don't let the fellows muss you up without
giving them something In return. Don't
let them put anything orer on you; ho a
man!" Junior bquarcd his small shouldors
and marched out of tho room with much
athletic air after this talk, nnd next day
came home trig, smiling nnd unruliled.
"Bay, Dad," ho confided. "Thoy didn't
put nothing over on mo today!" "fine,
boy, fine!" said Father. "What did you
do?" And ho swollod with prido ns ho
waited to hear, "Why, I calno homo un
other street," bald Junior, and ho strutted
about llko a victorious game cock.
