Evidently, muses John S. West
cott, Mr. Bok came not to bring
peace, but a sword. To which
I’d like to add, his plan was in
tended to bring sweet peace, and
look'what a row it has hatched
out already.

lived to the ripe old age of 969

Philo Hicks says: “They talk
of plans to bring peace between
the Nations of the earth; but the
only way to peace is through the
adoption of the principles of
peace as given to mankind by

Just as a Ventnor banker came
out of the bank on his way home
to luncheon yesterday he saw a
neighbor woman driving past in
her car. “Going home?” he
hailed. She was, and gave him
a lift. Imagine his confusion
when his wife, upon seeing him
getting out of her best friend’s
car, exclaimed, “Why, John,
where is your car?” He had left
it parked in front of the bank—■’
forgotten.

■I was coming home from Philly
on the train the other day, and
chanced to start a conversation
with a fellow on the seat ahead
of me. He was telling me of his
difficulties.
He said: “I married a widow
who had a grown daughter. My
father visited our house very of
' ten, and fell in love with my step
daughter and married her. So
nay father (became my son-in-law,
and my step-daughter my mother,
because she is my father’s wife.
Some time afterward my wife
had a son; he is my father’s
brother-in-law and my uncle, for
he is the brother of my step
mother. My father’s wife, namely
my stepmother, also had a son;
he is of course, my brother, and
in the meantime my grandchild,
for he is the son of my daughter.
My wife is my grandmother, be
- cause she is my mother’s mother.
1 am my wife’s husband and
grandchild at the same time, and
as the husband of a person’s
grandmother is his grandfather,
I am my own grandfather.” To
which I might add, “If you can
survive this, you’re good.”

die of the night, Fred Plum hied
himself forth to shoot Ye Wild
Duck. Going without breakfast,
driving 60 miles, getting stuck
in two mudholes, and falling into
the river, were among the inci
dents of the trip, and after par
taking of one duck, he wants to
invite the neighbors in to finish
them. How the unattainable be
ing attained, soon becomes com
monplace!
“He drove straight -to his
goal,” shouted the lecturer dur
ing a climax. “He looked neither
to the right nor to left, but
pressed forward, moved by a defi
nite purpose. Neither friend nor
foe could delay him nor turn him
from his course. All who crossed
his path did so at their own peril.
What would you call such a
man?” “A truck driver,”
shouted George Wingate, who
was in the audiencfi.
Snapshots from
The Seashore House
By LEILA M. HOLT
T.he weaving class is progress
ing famously, with many articles
for the musicale and tea which
will take place shortly after
Easter. There are baskets of
fascinating Indian weave, hand
woven scarfs which vie in beauty
with the imported ones—and the
most attractive little bookmarks
made by hand.
The greatest improvement in
the class is the workshop, for
merly the mothers’ dining room,
which is being used by the up
patients. There one finds from
twelve to fifteen children ply
ing their art on the looms, and
weaving baskets as fast as their
small fingers can go. I do be
lieve the girls and boys have got
ten their second wind, they can
work so quickly and easily.
To vary the program, and to
celebrate a recent holiday, Mrs.
Taylor gave the children several
color tests, with hues of every
description, and to her amaze
ment found the Seashore House
hoys and girls are really preco
cious, making a record above the
average child.. There are sev
eral reasons for this. Practic
ally all the instruction is indi
vidual, the children are free from
erroneous impressions, have time
for assimilation, and are more
receptive because of their condi
tions.
A sewing circle has been
formed by a group of kindly dis
posed ladies who have made over
fi^*£ gowns after a pattern sup
plied by the House. You have
no idea what 'a help it has meant
to the seamstresses, who work
continually mending garments
and supplying the House with
new linens. -
une is reminded that on March
17 th the Seashore House I hind
Club, which is working so untir
ingly for the interests of the chil
dren of the Seashore House, will
hold forth at the Hotel Shel
burne. In order to facilitate
matters, dt is requested that
those wishing to join the lunch
eon party make their reserva
tions three days in advance to
Mrs. Leon Rubens, of 24 South
Aberdeen Place. Of course you
know that the invitation is ex
tended bo any friends who are
interested in the cause of the
children, and at the same time
enjoy a friendly hand at cards.
Mrs. Lincoln Myers will be chair
man of the day, assisted by Mrs.
F. Senseman, Mrs. H. H. Hallow
ell, Mrs. D. Lamponi, Mis. W. G.
Nelson, Mrs. F. D. Mount, Mrs.
H. Parsons, Mrs. M. Van Dyke,

Terminal Ready
Giant Centre for Seathore Line*
Costing $3,000,000, Will Open
For Operation May 14
The new $3,000,000 terminal of
the Reading Company’s seashore

' open for travel on Wednesday,
May 14th, according to an an
nouncement made today by the

The new structure will not only
be a building of great architec

oughly modern terminal. It will
be a two story structure of steel
frame and brick with stone trim
mings resting on a concrete foun
dation built on piles. It will
house four modern electrically
operated ferry slips, a large train
shed, a huge concourse, waiting
rooms for men and women, a
restaurant and the offices of the
jjeiaware iuver rerry Company
and of the seashore lines of the
Reading Company.
The concourse will be 338 feet
long and 105 feet wide. It will
lead directly to the train shed
which will contain ten traeks*for
use at times when the travel is
especially heavy. All of these
tracks wiil be gated and each of
them will be long enough to ac
commodate trains of fourteen
cars. The train platforms will be
of concrete with butterfly shelters.
The main entrance on the land
side of the building will be from
Mechanic Street and Atlantic
Avenue. The plans for this part
of the structure call for a two
