The contract ia about to be signed for the building' of tikis proposition. Thirty-two at Sampson, Sex ft Co's. salesmen spent their week-ends at Lily Lake. Some of them take advantage of the fishing and boating. The new motor boat at Lily Lake chugs along with its music to those who enjoy motor boating on the waters. Frank Steinsdoerfer's hone has been remodeled and repainted and its splendid appearances improves his property. B. Davis of California is permanently residing at Lily Lake and is planning to build a permanent home here, where McHenry products as well as labor will be used entirely. Mrs. John Lodts is the hostess of "Lily Lake Inn" and certainly makes a very pleasant one. The service is equal to the Ritz-Carlton. Maurice Weiss of the Bond and Mortgage Department of Sampson, Sex A Co., reviewed Lily Lake property last Saturday and Sunday. Miss Helen Lindsay and her friends spent an agreeable week-end at Lily Lake ss the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Davis. f Many Chicagoans hare decided to build beautiful homes in Lily Lake, Sampson-Stex & Co. subdivision. This enterprising firm of home builders is aiming to make Lily Lake a model toyland for permanent as well as summer residents. Joe Lanzen of Volo has purchased several business lots in Lily Lake and has already contracted for the building of an oil station, as well as suitable quarters for service. The Molidors of Volo have also purchased lots in the business section ol Lily Lake and intend improving in the near future. Sampson-Sex A Co. received a telegram from E, R, Harrington, realtor of West Hollywood, Calif., reserving two Lily Lake lots for a summer home. Califomians, even from the world's well advertised sunnyland, realise the superb advantages of these lake homesites. Card of Appreciation We, in this manner, wish to* thank our many friends and neighbors for the many offerings of kindness and sympathy shown to us through our recent bereavement. Mr. and Mrs. William Bonslett, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Muckler, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Francis Bonslett.. -Edward Bonslett ^MufRing OtM Oars are muffled by wrapping something around them where they come In contact with the oarlocks. This Is to deaden the noise. When Paul Revere started on his famous midnight ride to Lexington a petticoat was used to muffle the oars of the boat in which he crossed the Charles river. It is referred to in the following unique sentence in "The Battle of April 19, 1775," written by Frank Coburn: "Fear that the noise of the oars In the oarlocks might alarm the sentry, Revere dispatched one of his companions for something to muffle them with, who soon returned with a petticoat, yet warm from the body of a fair daughter «C liberty."--Pathfinder Magazine. Ancient Name for SM The name "Erythraean Sea" originally was given by the ancients to the entire expanse of sea between Arabia and Africa on the west and India on the east, Including the Red sea and the Persian gulf. During the rule of the Ptolemies, the name "Erythraean Sea" was confined by some geographers to the gulf between the straits of Bab-el-Mandeb and the Indian ocean; but It was far more generally used as identical with the Mare Rubram or Red sea. Even as late as the Christian era, the expression "Erythraean Sea" was used in its original sense--Kansas City Star.

The bride has resided in McHenry for some time, coming here from Woodstock, where her parents reside. The groom is the son of Newell Colby, of this city. ^ Point of View at Three great women, Qeirge EUot, Emily Browning and George Sand, said the principal genius of woman lies in the depth of her affection. A woman is tfb more superior to a man than a man is to a woman, says the lecturer, Miss Slme. What is strong in man is weak in woman and vice versa, but in Miss Slme's opinion civilization had and was undergoing three phases. The first, before feminism came in, was the age of Chivalry when men treated women as spiritual beings and desired to shield and protect them. The second was an appreciation of *weman and her desire for equality. The. third would be the chivalry of woman toward man In an attempt to understand his point of view. . . . Perhaps that will have to be the way of it. Man hasn't been able to get hers.--Capper's Weekly. Link Faith With Charity Shut not thy purse strings always against painted distress. Act a charity sometimes. When a poor creature (outwardly and visibly such) comes before thee, do not stay to Inquire whether the "seven small children" in whose name he implores thy assistance have a veritable existence. Rake not Into the bowels of unwelcome truth, to save a halfpenny. It Is good to believe him.

Death Relieves Suffering of Mary Bonslett After a continued illness for two yMrs, Mary Bonslett, daughter of William and Maria Bonslett, the latter deceased, passed to her eternal rest at St. Joseph's hospital, Aurora, June SO, 1926. Mary was born in McHenry May 22, 1897. She attended the MgHenry public schools and graduated from McHenry high school June, 1915. She attended Lewis Institute in Chicago the following year and was a member of the Sigma Beta Theta sorority. She also attended *the University of Wisconsin for one term. Mary began her teaching career in McHenry in 1916, and taught in the McHenry grammar schools for six years. One of her ambitions had been to get into tfce Chicago school system, and she was successful in passing the Chicago teachers' examinations and in receiving an appointment. She was first taken sick June 27, 1924. She was in Cedar Rapids, Ia., ftt that time, and underwent an operation in the Mercy hospital of that city. Hers was an unusual case that baffled the surgeons. She stayed in Iowa until August. While visiting friends in Harvard, shorfty after her return to Illinois, she was again taken sick and rushed to the Cottage hospital in that city. Miss Bonslett began teaching in Chicago in December of that year. Her determination and courage kept her at work while doctors marveled at her constitution, knowing her physical condition. She was under the best medical attention, but kept growing poorer in health. After a minor operation in August, 1925, she again resumed her teaching in Chicago, but only for a very short time. On the last day of October, just eight months before her death, she was taken to the Mercy hospital, Chicago, and was moved to the St. Joseph's hospital, Aurora, in December. She was not only a most patient sufferer but possessed almost superhuman cheerfulness throughout the long time of her illness. Her doctors, nurses, friends and family never heard complaint from her lips. She did not seem weary of her sickness, but was hopeful of recovery almost to the end. Her long suffering ended Wednesday morning, June 30. Funeral services took place from St. Patrick's church Friday morning. A solemn high mass was celebrated with Reverend William A. O'Rourke officiating and Reverend Charles Nix of McHenry and Reverend Horner of Elgin assisting. Reverend Father Thomas Bermingham of the St. Joseph's hospital of Aurora gave the funeral address. Mary was the oldest daughter of William Bonslett. She leaves three brothers, Francis, of Chicago, Edward of Casper, Wyo., §nd Paul of McHenry, and one sister, Mrs. Arthur Muckler of Elmhurst, 111. She was one of the charted members of the Joyce Kiliper Court of the Daughters of America and a member of the Sodality of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin. Thus we conclude the obituary of one who spent most of her life in this community, one who was dearly loved all who knew her and whose ideals were always of a lofty nature. By JOSEPHINE S. BROOKS (Copr right.) t«QLYDE!* "Alice!* A flush mounted to both faces of this handsome couple, npw planning to separate--a superb pair* The woman wa»speaking: . "I just mailed "yon a note, Clyde, to come over tomorrow evening. I thought we'd'^better settle, on--that is --choose the mementoes each prefers. Yon may have fir^t,choice, except--" "No, no, Alice." The caught sharply. "You'll come, Clyde?* *' "Oh, yes," eagerly. "I'm on my way to Qienvale now, but I will be back in time." She turned to go. 1 -- "Alice." ; ' w'. \r'.' "Yes-nwhat far It?* - * - : ',4 - "I--Alice--If you'd only--" he stammered. The feife put sup a warning finger. "Good-by. I'll see you tomorrow evening." ^ That evening Clyde Faulkner, In his lonely apartments, stood gazing at his wife'? photograph. "You are beautiful, and I worship you. But self-will, uncurbed by doting parents. Is separating us, and for ' trifles." He snapped off the lights, and sat in the moon-llgbted window. But the moon brought too vivid ^memories of courtship days. He left1 the apartment and sauntered far from the city. Suddenly the scent of sweet alyssum came to him. It was like torture-- this reminder of their engagement flower. He covered his eyes a second, and passed on. But sweet memories grew too strong. He retraced his steps to the little florist's shop. He bought a huge bunch of the sweet flowers. Quite late he entered the apartment and placed them in water. Then he opened his wallet and took out- a small white package containing a yellowed spray of sweet alyssum. "Nearly tnrned to Mhes--like OUT romance," he sighed. The next evening, after' a most prolonged, nervous toilet, h£ set out for his wife's apartments. She met him with the cordial greeting of a friend, nothing more. "We'd better get it over with quickly," she advised. "Here are--photographs." Her voice faltered a little. His breath raine heavily as he saw his little child's pictures, "Clyde, mothers feel more keenly than fathers--** The man winced--"So --So I thought I'd fake the latest one. You can get another--some time. You may have the baby picture." The man's face worked pitifully. "Yes, yes, Alice. Keep the other--I-- you must not sacrifice it." She reached out « tiny infant shoe. "Clyde, this is for jrou. " I have the mate." Clyde, unable to bear more, arose hastily. "I must go, Alice, unless--" A warning gesture of negation stopped htan. He left abruptly. Alice Faulkner alighted from her car and walked up the broad path to the Orphans' home. Her heart ached for her lost little one. If she could find one who looked like Iter she must have her. No one suited., She stood there fearfully disappointed, only halfhearing the matron's order for the maid to prepare the little girl for her new father who was due at any time. Soon the maid reappeared with the beautiful child. Alice gazed In rupture. The child was the Image of her own little Doris. "O-oh, can't I have her? She's so like my own! I must have her," she begged. "You are too late. She goes with her hew father. There he is now." As he entered he started back as if Alarmed at the sight of a beautiful Woman closely clasping his newly adopted child. The woman's tears he saw were falling on the child's golden hair. He heard her crooning love talk to the baby, who patted the "pltty lady's" face--the face of his wife. The woman looked around and looked straight Into the eyes at her" tall, handsome husband. , "Clyde--you--you ar*--p a s who--?" " He nodded. Both were conscious of an impending crisis, all unmindful of the wondering eyes bent upon them. The baby arms clung Closed "Me 'ove 'ou," she lisped. "Clyde, I must have her. You can't take her from me." The man, his eyes suspiciously moist and tender, drew nearer. The child, chuckling with glee, put one aim around his neck, the other around the wife's. "There, you see she clings to me, Clyde." "What about me?" he asked. Then, in a low voice, he whispered: "Alice, you may have her"---the woman's ffce gleamed--"if--you'll take me, too. I can't let her go, either. Don't yon see I'm doubly loneljr-- now?" "Why--why J Clyde, we can then both have her* The light glorified her face. A little child had wrought fSr mors than could any lawyer. "We'll call her Alysss, dear." An' exalted note sang through his tone. "Alyssa! from--from our alyssum engagement flower? And you remembered !" Right before matron and maid Clyde drew forth the faded spray of -sweet alyssum. "And to think," she cried, "that 1 Shnost wrecked--oh, GlydtJ" '-- r1"' O f:.
