They go to church early in the morning, aud whenever it is required, as women do elsewhere. They kneel and say their prayers, and in Christian charity give you a look, from which the adoration 1ms not departed perhaps, just as is done in churches elsewhere.

They talk with their eyes and with their fans, and show their natural graces as doves do. But unless, under particular and approved circumstances, as to visit in company of others, or in the confiding nearness of the dance, you get just as near to them as you do to the free dove, or to the butterfly in the meadow. There is little serious flirting--well, yes, in a dance there may be considerable mischief done; but any outcome must flow through approved channels. And they can dance. And though the dance will be docorus, and certainly quiet, with some of the voluptuous Spanish music that floats like succession of buoying and aromatic liquid undulations, with a palpitant waist molded willingly to your arm, and soft, dark eyes now j'ours and now just as sweetly not, with this and with that--well, wouldn't it be wiser for you to go down to the club and have a game of billiards?

The accident occurred at Lloyd's Hill curve, asliort distance below Queen Anne station. which is usually very soft, and not ablo to stand transportation as formerly. The present weather is capital, but it came to late to save the quality of the Delaware peach. One great causo of the fruit ripening prematurely is believed to be the yellows. Orchards that a year ago con- tinned two or three sickly trees, whose leaves yellowed before it was time for it, this summer show the blight all over.

There are orchards In this neighborhood in which one- third of the trees are turning yellow already, and these trees will never bear again.
