twenty which Wilmington, then known
as wellington. boasted In the year 1895.
70 was IN 1875 that William Shipley
came to Wilmington and pending the
erection OF his fine mansion at the cor

The former was removed and upon It's
site is the Gawthrop building.
Another building rs that on the south
west corner of Third and Shipley
streets. il was built in 1776. about
the same time that William Shipley
built his famous mansion. IN whose
hospitable walls many notable people
were entertained The old house Is far
from attractive In appearance now, and
the nasser-by gives but little thought
to the scenes of sorrow. merrlment,
tragedy or comedy which have taken
place within It's weather-beaten walls.
The first house certainly known to
have been built In Wilmington was on
Vikings Plot" at the corner OF
Front and Market streets. 1t was of
brick and bore the date of 1882 on a
marble tablet built IN the gable wall
On the tablet also We're the initials

as tavern until 1926, when It was torn
down by its owner, Eli Sharp, and q
larger building erected on the site
The marble tablet was rebuilt In the
gable wall OF the new house and now
NAV be seen with the date OF its erec-
ton added to the former inscription.

wondrous beauty. Gray-green is a
very light, pale green, the true shade

Although black and white enter
slightly into the new dress trimmings,
the majority of patterns are In pastel
shades, soft blues, pinks, greens and
yellows. Two OF the new colors that
are sure to be strong in favor are
maize and gray-green.

Some of the very expensive trim
mings, in addition to having pompa-
dour flowers worked on fine lace in
silks, are further ornamented with small
seed pearls, tiny artificial emeralds,
rubies and sapphires. These gems, when
combined with the silk flowers, result
in an effect that is particularly ridh
and striking.

rubies and sapphires. These gems, when
combined with the silk flowers, result
in an effect that is particularly ridh
and striking.
An especially stylish dress trimming
is dainty point Venise insertion. 1t
has an ivory-white muslin centre, over
which are embroidered. in silk, strings
of gay flowers in their natural colors.
Another floral trimming in pompa-
dour effect is a combination OF rich
cOlored silk-embroidered flowers on
chiffon 1t is an unusually dainty pat
tern.
Coral is more fashionable than ever,
particularly when mixed with pearls.
Beautiful for white gown is a gar
niture with a chiffon foundation out
lined with fancy white silk braid, and
the centre of renaissance rings and
spider web net.
In medallion effect is a black trim
ming with silk braid ornaments, black
renaissance net centres. and silk-em-
broidered floral sprays.
One of the most elaborate and highly
artistic trimmings seen this season has
Ia. groundwork Of fine ecru point Venise
lace medallions. separated by large
clusters of cherries and green leaves
embroidered on silk chiffon in their
natural colors. This trimming is some
four inches wide, and the contrast az
forded by the brilliant red of the cher
ries, the green leaves, and the ecru of
the rich lace is something very ele-
CANT.

1t appear that the Virginia Historical So
ciety recently suffered from another and
even more serious phase of the vandalism
which came to light in the supposed
theft Of an important historical manu-
script from the State Library.
Some time ago it was discovered that
a. number of autograph signatures of no.
table Revolutionary worthless, now greatly
priced had been cut from the papers
Tho officers of the society felt morally
certain that they knew the guilty party.
but there seemed little recourse or re-
dress.
An interesting feature OF the situation
is that as the letter missed from the Ii
brary was sold for only $40 in New York.
this probably classes its theft, If it was
stolen, as a misdeneanor and not a fell
ony, and so it is not an extraditablo Of
tense. If a prosecution should be brought
by the State it is not believed that a
man could be brought from another State
for trial The Virginia authorities Ques-
ton whether or not the higher courts
,,pon appeal would sustain the ruling
that the first sale for $40 to a person,
probably not acquainted with the value
of the manuscript. fixed its value below
the felony limit. The State puts a much
higher value upon it, and would spend
a @much larger sum to bring the man
responsible for its loss to justice.
What course the Virginia Historical
Society will pursue in the matter is un-
determined yet.

TROUBLES OF OTlIY.
Major Otey is one of the most infatlg-
able workers in Congress, where THEM
terests of his constituents are concerned.
He is always sending them seeds or
mailg them documents OF dlfIereh'
sorts and hardly a day passes that he
is not introducing pension bill.
In the face OF this however, he was
hauled over the Goals terrifcally, a ;hort
while ago, by one of these very constl-
tuents for whom he labors so incessantly
for what was thought to be gross negl1v
on his part.
Major Otcy received a letter from the
constituent in question. and as Is Sen-
orally the case, the letter contained
request for something. 1t so often nap
pened that in this instance the request
could not be granted. MAJOR Otey sat
down and wrote the man very earnest
letter. expressing deep rcgre that it was
bewond his power to accomplish what he
had been asked and requesting his COR
respondent to let him know if there We're
ever anything he could do for him, as
Surfing him he would always be Slad to
do anything i'll his power for his in
terests. 1t SO happened that when he
signed his name, 'Pcter ]. Otey," the
signature ran out to the edge of the page
leaving 10 room for the IN. c., which
: many of the Congressman append TIC
their signatures. So Major Otcv put the
IN c." down on the next line below his
ing himself the while upon the impress
sion he would create upon his consti-
tucnt.
By return mail. however. there came
a letter It was short, sharp and to the
point. It ran as follows:
lion. Peter. J. Otey, House of Rcpresen-
tatives. Washington, d. c.
Dear Sir.-When ] wrote to you the
other day r was prepared to have You
decline the request my letter contained
because I was not sure that what
asked could be done by you. / did eS-
pect, though that you would at least
show me the courtesy TO write me an
autograph letter upon the subject. In
stead of that you have evidently turned
the matter over to your clerk since the
letter purporting to be from YOU is signed
per NJ. c.
have nothing against IN. c." who
ever he may be, but I think it is due the
people whose votes placed You in office
that YOU should answer their letters
personally"
