Misses Afternoon Toilette Consisting of
Waist, No 1896; and Skirt, No 1902.
(Hints by May Manton.)
PRICE IS CENTS.

There is little distinction made at
present in tie styles created for
misses and women. The same gen.
eral lines prevail, palmer waists,
clese-htting sleeves and skirts,
which are smooth across the front
! and hips. having the plain or Wat
teau back.
This attractive costume of Ad-
miral blue poplin is trimmed with
white tatfeta and black velvet, hay
ing yoke of creamy lace.
The waist is mounted on a glove
fitted lining which closes in the
center front, 1t is faced to round
yoke depth with white satin over
which lace is laid. The back is
smooth across the shoulders with
tiny plaits at the waist.
The front yoke is fastened per-
manently in the right shoulder
seam and crosses over to the left
side, closing invisibly on the should
er.
The porlin for the front is tucked
and applied plain at the lower edge
of the yoke, with slight blouse at
the waist. A narrow bertha of
white satin, edged with velvet rib
bon, outlines the lower edge of the
round yoke and extends down the
right side of the front. tapering to
a point at the waist line, which is
finished with narrow ribbon belt.
The tiny steel buckles used on the
waist and sleeves are dainty ad-
dition to the costume.
The fashionable two-piece sleeve
has little tullness at the shoulder.
where it is trimmed with velvet RIB
bon straps to simulate an epaulette.
A circular cuff of velvet flares styl-
ishly over the hand.
The skirt fits smoothly across the
front and sides Of the back, where
1t meets the box plat. which is ar
ranged narrow at the belt and
spreads to the lower edge, where it
retains the plated shaping.
The skirt is made to lap in front,
closing under the trimming of satin
and velvet bands. Itmay, however,
be cut circular without the center
seam in front and fasten in the
back under the box plat.
10 make the waist for miss of
fourteen years will require one and
three-lourths yards OF forty-four-
inch material, with fve-eiphtss
yard of all-over lace or embroidery

COUNCIL WANTS
MORE FUNDS.
instructions Given to the
City Treasurer as to
Certain Funds.

| The City Treasurer reported t
City Council at its meeting las
night the balance in Union Nationa
Bank to be $49,715.45; in each @
the four depository banks, $4,000
received of J. J. Cassidy, $29. 50
Il. S. Lewis, s1,OO7; Eugene M
Savers, $Sl5; S. S. Adams, Jr.
$52S. IS; L. c. Kent, 80; l. c. Pyle, IS
The following resolution was
adopted by strict party vote:
"Resolved, That the city treas.
urer be and here is instructed to de-
| posit to the account of the Mavol
and Council of Wilmington any
funds now in his possession, or that
hereafter may come into his pos.
session from this date, from the fol.
lowing sources, viz: receipts from
wharf rents, rents of bedsot streets,
tax on telegraph, telephone and
electric light and power poles and
fees from clerk OF the market
Reports of city officers for Janu-
arv were received, as sfollows: Clerk
OF Municipal Court, s. S. Adams,
Jr.. 1928. IS collected; Building In
spector Cassidy, total valuation of
property for which permits were
issued, SIS, 200; fees collected,
$295O.
Messrs. Smith, Cannon and Stew
art were named as a committee to
confer with the Board of Trade
committee in reference to new
city charter.
Andrew ]. Dougherty and Will
liam F. Hayes were elected rodmen
for the coming year.
Mr.. Monaghan fathered a resolu-
ton directing the crematory COM
mittee to prepare a set of rules gov
erning the collection of garbage.
The bond given by the Dixon
Sanitary Crematory Committee for
one year was ordered cancelled.
There promises to be an interest
ing time over the action Of Council
at its meeting last night.
The finance committee of Coun-
w So'ilS liiHS dSo ulICSlCu AllV
Treasurer Hamann to deposit the
moneys to the credit OF the general
fund, instead of to the credit of the
Street and Sewer Department, but
the treasurer refused until formally
directed to do so by Council.
This action on the part of Council
is opposed by the Republican men,
bers on the ground that Council has
no business to interfere with the
affairs of the Street and Sewer De-
partment, and should mind its own
business. As soon as the treasurer
deposits some of the funds named as
directed, the Street and Sewer De-
partment will make a contest and
some interesting points are expect
ed to be raised. The funds in 0ues-
ton amount to but little in the
course of a year. but the Street and
Sewer Department will oppose the
action OF Council on general princi-
pies.
Members of Council claim they
have legal opinions to the effect that
the law gives them the right to take
these funds. yet thev do not appear
quite certain of their position and
talked over the matter last night
after the meeting of Council.
