The good steamer Della Collins was
successfully launched from the New
England Cos. dry dock at Bath, Mon
day, and now floats once more upon
the bosom of the Kennebec. in all of
her old time beauty and grace. 1t Is
expected that sometime today she will
make her first appearance around the
point near Mile rock and that the dull
Get tones of her melodious whistle will
awake the echoes from Cushnoc heights
to the region around Sidney bog. The
Della may not be a handsome craft,
but she is the connecting link which
binds Augusta to the Hub of the uni
verse by the way of the beautiful Ken
nebec, and all will be glad to see her,
for somehow her coming from year to
year always brings with it a feeling
akin to the return of an old friend.

the age and circumstance. His death was
a blow from which It was felt she would

was reminded by one of Richards friends.

FANCY W0RSZE1

The jacket was decidedly fancy the-e -
| no other word for it,. with a full collar. full
| plated oversleeves and rich adornmen: OF
! Irish crochet lace.
l Undoubtedly the very newest material for
| tailor suits is striped cheviot (and later on
striped French flannel will be rsed).
| A beautiful color combination in a cheviot
suit is tan etamine striped with pale green.
| with a fat silk braid trimming of black and
white.
The skirt is plain. with a suggestion Of
| fullness in the back.
| The short bolero is cut with a sham shirt
| waist front, very new and stylish. and tie
usual very fat collar. The lace and maline
hat is trimmed with a wonderfnl-hued bird
of paradise.
LoNG-SKIRTED COAT INTRODUCED
| BY FRENCH KING.
| The new tailor girl has decided that even
the long-skirted coat, for so many years
sacred to silk and satin and velvet. shall
also now do duty in the tailor world-a wise
/! decision. for it is a fashion equally becoming
to stout and slender women.
The tailor method Of treating this coa..
made fashionable centuries ago by the Zip
| pant French King. Is severe to a degree.
The body and skirt are entirely plain,
save machine-stitched plaits and tiny tailor
tassels and buttons. The perfect tailoT
finish of the belt, collar and tabs Is achieved
by featherboning the edges. neatly. OF
course, under the lining.
The skirt worn by this wooltex suit 10
plain. except for the two simulated box
plaits on the front seams.
A picture hat furnishes a vivid contrast
with this simple costume, maline and white
ostrich plumes making the artistic head
gear.
The wearing Of elaborate picture hats with
simple tailor suits is one of the novel but
very pleasing fashion whims Of the girl
who has organized the fashion Of the tailor
suit this spring.
