QUAINT OH FlSHIOl RtIIVED
II Is That Of Wearing Slips Under DOTTED
MasIin fr,cks

Dotted swiss muslin froeks or dot
ted batiste are perennial in so far as
their popularity Is concerned. EARLY
in the season there are always no end
oil novelties in muslin, embroidered or
with lace insertion or with stripes or
cross bars; and each year there is
something said about dotted muslin
being old fashioned. and each and,
every season the prettiest OF all gowns
that are made are THE dotted muslins.
II is considered a most incomplete
trousaeau that does not contain two
or three OF these gowns, the changes
IN them made by the difference in the
size of the polka dot
A charmingly dainty fashion that has
been revived this year is the wearing
Of colored slips under dotted musllns.
The slips need not be made of silk and
are equally pretty OF lawn. The new
est muslin frocks are in princess eff
feet. most simple apparently. most
elaborate in reality and while they
give tho effect OF being In princess, are
in rlaeity skirt and waist combined,
but attached to each other in some in
visible way. On the waist are lines OF
insertion in tucks. and always a girdle
effect. given with a trimming OF lace
Insertion and tucks. while around the
foot Of the skirt appears again the
same pattern. The sleeves are always
full. either elbow length or in big el-
bcw shape gathered into a cuff Of the
same style OF insertion and tucks as IS
seen on the other parts OF the waist
These gowns are made up IN black OF
gray or white dotted muslins. and are
trimmed with rather a heavy lace wher
valenciennes Is not used. When tho
valenciennes Is preferred, It Is used IN
large quantities. whereas with the
heavy lace not nearly so much is con.
sidered necessary.
The favorite fad of the season is tC
have a well fitted princess slip. low
necked and with short sleeves. which
can be worn underneath any gown
These are made in white and black
and If expense need not be consid-
cred there are generally also pink ant
blue ones included A lawn skirt ant
perhaps a lawn waist must be put ovei
a slip Of this sort 10 look well. or there
must be an equally we'll fitting princes.
slip of heavier muslin rather than o.
lawn.

HEDENIES THE
ENGAGEMENT
Interest in Reported One oI
the Rev. Mr.. Cummins
Other Social News Of Interest TO Cit,
People, Their Nelghbors and
Friends

Wilmington society and church peO-
pie are much Interested in the an
.nouncement of the engagement of the
rev Alexander G. Cummins. Jr.. and
Mrs Frederick Pearson of New York.
and the subsequent denial by Mr. Cum
minis.
The Rev Mr.. Cummins was born In
Smyrna. where his father, Alexander
G. Cummins. has long been a resident.
He also has relatives in Wilmington.
He is a graduate of Swarthmore Col
lege. and is well-knOwn throughout the
State.
lie is rector Of Christ Episcopal
Church. the most fashionable and ex-
elusive church of Poughkeepsie. and is
a forceful pulpit orator. He also is an
|all-round athlete.
Mrs. Pearson lis the daughter OF the
late J. c. Aver, for whom the town of
Aver. Mass. takes its name. and who
left a great fortune. a large portion of
which went to his daughter Mrs. Pear
sons maiden name was Lesley G.. Aver.
She married Frederick Pearson, an Off
Ger of the United States Navy, who
died while abroad about five years ago.
She lives at No. West Fifty-seventh
street. New York. in the winter, and
spends her summers at Bar Harbor and
at Olive Point. Newport. where she has
q cottage. and where she first met the
Rev. Mr.. Cummins last summer. AT
that time It was noted that they were
much in each others company. but little
Significance was attached TO their
friendship until the announcement OF
the engagement.
No sooner was the story given to the
public. however. than the Rev. Mr.
Cummins. who is at Bar Harbor, Me-
where Mrs. Pearson is passing the
summer kept the wires hot with de
malls. Mrs. Pearson also denied the
engagement.
Much curiosity is expressed here re-
garding the origin of the story. No
body seems to know where it came
from. and while the members of Chris
iChurch parish accept the denial OF
Mr. Cummins as made in good faith
they are wondering how such a circum
stantial story could have got into
print.

GROCERY COMBINE PROPOSED
Wilmington Merchants Ace Not in
Sympathy With the Plan

II has been reported that the retail
grocerymen of Delaware, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania would form com
bination, with a capital stock of S125,-
600. to sell groceries to its stockhold-
lers at actual cost. To enter the scheme
it would be necessary to subscribe for
five shares of stock. the par value cd
whdh will be $50, in addition to which
there will be an assessment of not
more than 5000 a member to provide
for an operating fund, to meet the nee
essary expenses of clerk hire and Other
incidentals.
Such a plan does not seem to NEE
with much favor among the grocery
men of Wilmington. They know moth
ing about it, One well-known grocer
said this morning: Il do not favor tn,
plan, and | don't think many Whining
ton merchants will. The idea of
combination having a capital of onl.
$125,000, supplying grocerymen o
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Della
ware with their groceries is absurd
That amount would not keep them il
dried fruits. I do not like it becaus
it looks as though we had to pay $50
TO buy our own goods
That is the general sentiment of tn
Wilmington grocers, and the scheme
not favored
