PROPER SPRING APPAREL
FOR FASHIONABLE WOMEN
LUCY CARTER WRITES OF THE LATEST AND
MOST EFFECTIVE NEW YORK STYLES.
The Tailored Suits and Flower Ladened Hats
are Matters of Timely Interest Other
Fashion News OF Interest.

The season has advanced sufficiently
for the feminine mind to have fixed
itself on some special fancy: this year,
boas have been the selection and in
vast variety as to color, shape and
material. they are subjects of study.
Extreme flufiness about the neck, is
the leading characteristic and while
some reach marvellous degree in this
direction, others spread themselves
down quite a distance IN the back, so
as almost to take the place of our
discarded capes. Apart from fuffiness
the great desideratum is length.
Fashionists proper look disdainfully
on front ends which do not end with
the skirt, but there comes a large and
not to be despised class, who content
themselves with lesser elongations.

FOR REVISING MORTGAGE INDIcES.
Bill of Recorder Lord Causes Much Discussion
Before Kent Levy Court.

The bill of Recorder Lord for prepar-
ing and revising new mortgage indices,
and of the attorneys who were engaged
for the work of revision, has not been
finally acted upon by the Kent Levy
Court. The bills, which are for So, 500
and 81, 200 respectively, seem to be
regular and representing work that had
actually been done and has taken
nearly a years time, and, as the COM
pensation was regularly fixed by the
Superior Court judges upon application
of counsel for the bills, nearly every
member of the Levy Court expressed
the opinion that they had made up
their minds that the bill would have
to be paid.
The reason that final action has not
been taken, but that the bills are laid
over for another interim, is that the
county treasury is not at present able
to stand a draft of SO, 700, besides pay
ing running expenses. ''We are not
disputing the bills" said Republican
member of the court in speaking of the
e9aim of-an. tDemocrat recorder, ''and
they will doubtless have to be paid, but
we do not propose to borrow money tC
pay this large claim. 1t will simply
have to bide its time There is no
more reason why this bill should be
rushed through than that the same
action should be taken on Murphy &
Co. s bill for furnishing the indice
(the books)."
The special work was done by th
Kent county recorder after bill hat
gone through the Legislature authoriz
ing and dil Getting the improved system
be installed in his office, and thereupOl
he engaged additional help and secure
the services of Attorneys Wolcott AM
Smithers to revise and approve the wOr
on behalf of the court There wa
some talk among political circles tina
the Republican members would "hol
up the bill, with a view of getting
slice knocked off. but the attitude {
the members yesterday plainly shove
that they would pay the claims as 500
as the county treasury again become
strong enough.

Numerous Ends

of ribbon, floating in the air, often
herald the approach of a fair one, but
as this was a "last seasons peculiarity,
it is not TO highly esteemed by ex-
tremists, as plated ends of chiffon or
tull caught at intervals by curious
fancies in the same or kindred fabrics,
or again a wide finish in silk edged
by a plating, double or otherwise,
ranks high, but must complete boa
in the same material. Great prestige
attaches to boas made exclusively in
crinkled silk leaves that futter with
every breath. The majority, however,
are made in better known fabrics,
such as thin silk, chiffon, tulle, net
or lace and frequently all or most OF
these favorites are made up in combi-

even on a still day, of these accessories
when worn with a skirt much better
fitted to an always still dummy in a

not aspire to free use of their limbs.
Feats of agility and assistance in get

added difficulties. A fashionable

The Kent County Levy Court has

had of the duty and authority tax col
lectors have from the following COM
mand which each one received:
''And if any person named in said
duplicate shall not pay the said rates
in ten days after you have demanded
the same, we command you, in such
case, that you levy and make the said
rates, or the part thereof remaining
unpaid, with lawful costs, in the man.
ner prescribed by law; and if goods or
chattels, lands or tenements of such
person cannot be found sufficient to
satisfy such rates with cost, in such
case, that you take such person and
convey him to the common Jail and de-
liver him to the keeper thereof, who If
commanded to receive and keep him in
safe custody until the rates, with costs
be paid, or such person be legally dis
charged. And we further command
you, that you pay the amount which
according to this warrant and the an
