Dover. Sept. 27.-The sight OF a
magistrate being called up before the
Superior Court OF Delaware for con-
tempt OF court. may be expected as a
result of a hearing before Magistrate
Hutton yesterday. It was the criminal
action of the State against Constable
L. Wilmer Hollis for trespass in sell
ing out the farm and personal property
of William L. Prattis, after Prattis,
through Kenney q Magee, had made
levy OF his property and had certio-
raried the suit out Of the constable's
into the Superior Courts hands.
Magistrate William Green who had
advised Hollis to sell. told Mr.. Kenney,
who conducted the prosecution, that
he knew his business and was capable
of distinguishing between right and
wrong.
It is probable that Magistrate Green
may be called before Superior Court 10
show cause why he should not be held
for contempt of court.

Tips for the Fair


worn this winter One pretty one has
stripes Of narrow black velvet ribbon
in it and rosettes with loops Of the vel
vet are used in trimming with good
effect One OF these fancy nets has q
deep founce Of lace finishing a skirt OF
the net. Both net and founce are
made over white silk and a charming
passementerie in white roses and green
leaves heads the fiounce.
Jet buckles and pins, as we'll as let
ted laces, are very good on hats, and
buttons of jet are used to finish straps
in mourning millinery.
How are reversible skirts in silk?
Black for one side and black and
white plaid for the other The eco
nomical woman has two silk skirts in
one.
New velvet ribbons are of velvet on
both sides and Of a solid color in the
centre, with edges striped with the
color of the centre and white. It gives
a pretty shaded effect.
Many jewels and pearl embroidery
iwill be seen upon the hats to match
the 1eweled effects in gowns which will
be worn this winter. Gold and silver
lace and embroidery appear with the
jewels.
Many cloth and wool costumes have
their edges cut in square tabs, which
are about an inch apart. The taps are
stitched down on an under hand OF con-
trasting color in silk, often dotted in
black, steel or silver The effect is
easily obtained by an ordinary dress
maker, yet is decidedly modish.
White net dotted all over with tiny
jet spots with a border OF black lace
applied on the white ground and heav-
lily encrusted with jet is among the
most exquisite Of the new robe mate
rials.
The golf girl and other girls Cd
sporting tendencies are in love with
the new knitted waistcoat or sweater
They certainly are fetching things
with their silk sleeves. and they admit
of stock. or collar and tie. The blouse
sweaters, however, are considered the
warmest and most practicable.
One Of the daintiest devices of the
season in neckwear is shown at a fash
iOnable establishment. Tt consists Of
a stock with short iaunty bow. The
material is a white silk with embroid-
cred polka dots; the turnovers and
ends CT the bow are bound with red
silk. while a curious latticework of
baby velvet ribbon is shown directly in
front and above the knot OF the bow.
Other cOlOrs are used with equal effect
for the bindings. Black and white
stocks are extremely smart this fail,
and appear in great variety.
Handsome silk petticoats are embel-
lished by fine tucking and accordion
plating.
Chinese and Japanese embroideries
look particularly we'll upon waists of
dark blue, red or light tan silk.
A Partisan ieweler has introduced
cuff button in the old-fashioned form
with tiny watch forming the top.
