Oblique Road led trom the Broad Street canal direct to the marketplace opposite the present Bowling Green. It was the daily duty of every pretty Dutch girl to don her ‘“inarket dress,’” which by the way, was almost as short as the dresses we like to think of to-day as ultra-modern, put her basket over her arm and go to haggle over the price of food, But this wasn't an altogether disagreeable morning's task, if one went down Oblique Road, for right on the east at the foot of Broadway was the Fort, just south of the present Bowling Green, And in front the fort, handsome soldiers were wont to par- ade, And historic records do not show that the soldiers, who were the Beau Hrummets of the day objected to the short-skirt fad Down Oblique Road also, p: and fro, the more sedate their longer skirts, pieturesque mansions with their gat ns and peach orchards w d to the river of ince the market ed to matrons in coming from the ex- Schout Fiskael was the obvious excuse for Oblique Road, the name as later changed to ''Markvelt Stee- or the Markettield Path. done and we alwiys knew of th copra below decks. | did what t could with the copra, but it fs not sun-dried copra—dried by fire on Solomon Islands, It is pretty uns palatable stuf “Some of the boys in the crew tried mixing the with flour, but it did not work out very well.
