1t would be interesting to trace
many OF the SO called caprioes of fashion
to their real source. Many. as is well
known. are Of historic origin and re
ceived their inspiration in the within of
some royal or other distinguished per-
sonage. The introduction of the sepa-
rate collar shirt waist, which has and is
enjoying great vogue, was, it is said,
due in the first place to the laziness of a
cutter in one of the fashionable tailor
shops where ladies' waists are made. He
suggested and advocated the style to
save work, it was discreetly talked up by
the head saleswomen. who received the
customers. and the thing was done
well done, too, most women will testify.
"A Chinese lantern took the place of
the arc light at the Delaware House cor.
ner last Friday evening, and its faint
rays assisted in guiding those home
who liYe in that part of the town. There
was some loud mutterlngs among the
residents there about the light not burn
ing, and some inquired where the Sup
erintendent was that the light was not
fixed. We would advise all those who
are complaining to be patient for while
as it is impossible for Mr.. Wright to be
at the Training School at the Electric
Light Station and looking after the arc
lights at the same time. Probably the
class will graduate there in few weeks
and then the arc lights will be looked
after.
