THE BOARDS NEW ROOM

The new rooms which the Board OF
Education will occupy for the first
time this evening are a big addition to
the ones formerly graced by it's pres
ence. The rooms are handsomely fur
nished and the floor is laid in heavy
Moquette carpet. The walls are paper
ed in light maroon shade, which lend
a cheerful appearance to the new
quarters.
The rooms are lighted by elec.
tricity and the members feel very
proud of their new home. Although
not pretentious from the outside, the
interior makes up for any lack in that
respect.

the effect that Daniel Dohl would be
turned down for president and Andrew

that there is no truth in It. The club
is composed OF German Americans

ticket, preferring to leave that matter
entirely with the members themselves.

WILMINGTON.
Whatever the Wilmington baseball
club may or may not have done during
the Atlantic League season, IL certain
ly demonstrated clearly yesterday TO
the astonished National League Bos-
ton club that there are occasions when
it can put up an exhibition of the ma
tional game, that to use one OF Mr..
Longs favorite expressions: Beats

Boston had lost four straight games
before coming to Wilmington, ana
Manager Selee expected to run up
against Wilmington and send back an
account of the way his club swiped IL
that would make glad the heart OF the
bean-eating rooter
But his joyful expectations were
woefully shattered.
There was a large attendance at the
grounds to see the National League
club. but scarcely one of the rooters
expected to see the home club win.
All four of Boston's crack pitchers
were put in, but none of them seemed
to be able TO deter the hard working
Wilmingtonians.
BOstOn's errors helped materially TO
put the home club in the way of win
ming, and the big league outfielders
worked rather loosely. On the other
hand Wiscbecker and Spratt made
some remarkable stops and catches
the latter covering more ground than
any man who has played at short this
season in Wilmington.
The particularly bright feature of
the game was Mclntyre's home run
which practically won the game, scor-
ing himself Newell and Amole.
The game was interesting from the
start. and the bleachers were in thor
ough accord with its ginger and snaI
througout. Anderson pitched a great
game for Wilmington in the first six
innings, and was then relieved by
Amole. The score:

that seems too long or ragged.

/ On the others of your brown eggs put

rounder, draw it's mouth wide open, filling
in the open portion with black.
These eggs are all to be mounted on
little circles or squares of heavy card
board, being attached to them with thick
glue.

shirt collars. cut from stiff white paper,
old aunties with a crossed kerchief like

white ruche. and the baby's with a wide
white ruffle.
The yellow eggs are for Cinnamon

negroes are, only that the eyes must

The whole effect was very stylish
and dainty; and when tried on little
sleek black head nothing seemed more
suitable for first spring wear. or in
deed a more useful investment for
months to come than this trim symph-
ony in black and yellow.
With the very dressiest walking
frock such hat is sufficiently elegant
and it can be worn as we'll with the
plainest tailor gown.
INCLINED TO THE GROTESQUE
Many smart sailors are seen and
some shown by one of our crack Eng
lish matters are, to say the least of it,
unique These are not so round as the
sailors of last year, but rather more in
the shape of a long oval, with fiat
crowns and narrow brims.
But it is the way the trimming is put
on that makes them so remarkable;
and just let the newspaper poet and
funny illustrator get a glimpse of one
and they will have a beautiful time.
The brims of these sailors are
shrouded with coarse black guipure
nets that bring them almost to a level
with the crown, which is covered fatty
with a vast bird, g. prairie hen, a duck
or a long-tailed pheasant. These point
head toward the front, with wings
resting on thef lace covered brim, so
that when the hats are held up against
the wall at a little distance they have
exactly the effect of the stuffed game
on oval wooden platters that frequently
ornament old-fashoned dining rooms.
In truth, they are veritable ducks of
hats, but Notwithstanding they pro-
vide SO much material for the fun
makers, ON the right head they have

popular favor. A scoop bonnet with
dancing feathers over the top and
bright roses each side of the cheeks
would be becoming to very few women,
SO that many of the milliners have
compromised on coquettish beef-eater
crowns and under-brim trimmings,
that with strings tying under the chin,
may pass for pokes. One shape just
seen was exactly like an inverted straw
bowl that had grown a velvet Tam
crown.

White feathers, satin ribbon and
small pink roses without foliage trim
the children's pokes elegantly.
One delightful shape for little maids

and is composed CO a rough straw
crown and a flouncing brim of killed
mousseline de sole.
Becoming neck fixings are seen with
the new millinery, and however sleek

caper to have your neck swathed in
fluff and furbelow. Those for street
wear are composed largely of black

ostrich tips, with here and there a

rich lace The designs given will show
a few of the latest and most becoming
models in these neck beautifiers.

Easter is chosen as the sacred moment
for spring headgear to put in its first
appearance, but already spring chap

best and latest secrets of the glass of

day.
The fact that many black feathers
are being used and that spring hats
this year are dark in coloring has made
this early wearing possible; but today,

angle to bring point straight in front.
The hollows on each side were

AIGRETTES
Trimmed French sailors are to be as
much worn as ever, and those that
mean to say their first prayers on
Easter Sunday will be laden with
flowers.
They will also boast the tallest
aigrettes ever grown on hats and be-
sides wings of tulle and high knots of
checked. striped or Powered ribbon.
Wide blades of bright green grass,
violets and primroses are the favorite
artificial decorations for the earliest
trimmed sailors, and along with the
plain black and white aigrettes there
are some curious novelty ones.
One of these novelty aigrettes is
barred with black and white stripes all
the way up and sells for the modest
sum of S4. Another is pure white with
discs of stamped black velvet near the

The beef-eater crown is sage green,
braided in a single piece and with ex-
treme looseness.
The round brim is in a pale brown.
and the sole trimmings are a narrow
band of black velvet about the crown
and a tall panache of black Prince of
Wales feathers at the left front.
Almost all of the hats, large and
small, show this uplifting of the trim
ming at the left. The old method of
balancing it evenly at the two sides,
across the front. has entirely gone out
for anything but the rolled brim
walking hats. These have, to large

Eggs.
If YOU want to get up some really novel
Easter eggs, and some that will send your
boy or girl friends wild with delight try
the following plan:
Divide your eggs into three portions,
color some of them dark brown (seaD,
some yellow, and leave others white,
merely boiling them hard.
Take paints and brushes (water-colors
are best, because they dry at once, and if
plenty of megilp is used they will not rub
and outline faces on them.
Take a dark-brown egg, outline nose
and eyes on it in black, touch in the nos

paint a very thick-lipped African mouth
