In one new bridal coiffure the tuIle veil

the tulle veil, although inexpensive, is in

English modes show tendency to carry
the hair back from the face and allow the
forehead TO be almost entirely umshatlcd,

Cloaks.
An unusual number of beautiful opera
and ball cloaks have come out this season.
Perhaps the popularity of fine fur has some
thing to do with it. Ermine is conspicuous
ly in force, and all brown furs are favorites
The long cape is the most convenient and
the least disturbing to delicate toilets in
these days of bouffant trimmings and ire
mendous sleeves, although many cloaks
have appeared fitted more or less closely to
the figure and having large sleeves allowed
to hang loose or gathered in at the wrist
In all cases the garment is made very full,

an ideal wrap in the way of warmth, grace

former resident Of Wilmington who
Ispoae very strongly against the III oral
ity of Wilmington. He said: Evil.

population IL is more wicked than any
other city In the country The rev
erend gentlemen resented tho assor
tlon and last night, before an intelli

upon tho city of Wilmington and
during his remarks said Wilmington
has been my home for years "
Il have been around In all It's parts,
and have visited the poor in the
worst localities and have never been
insulted or seen half the vice that has
boon spoken OF in other cities, and |
think our city Will stand in morality

with marked attention, and was de.
