Revival of Peacock Fad

The present revival of the peacock
fashion is revival in only limited
sense. for never before has the fashion
been carried out TO the degree Of charm
seen this season. The existing craze start
ed several years ago. unostentatiously.
with a few peacock feather toque hats.
Now it gets into everything.
Hats, gowns and cloaks in peacock
shades are seen. The carefully studied
out peacock costume is still novelty.
Buttons and braids carry out the scheme.
Some of the most beautiful gold or bronze
braids show a series Of peacock feather
heads, with their luminous eyes.
Jewelry glorines the bird of Juno in
many attractive novelties. Etrings of
beads come in colors harmonizing with
the peacock costume. If not worn with
such a costume they give to any other
gown the peacock touch, which is one Of
this years cachets.
Semi-precious stones cluster into
schemes OF peacock coloring on dog col
lar necklaces. bracelets. pins and buck
les. Little brooches formed Of a single
curved feather in plain or enameled gold
set with one cleaning stone, have been
in favor for several seasons.
Back combs carry the glorious coloring
across the coiffure of the chic woman.
Some of the newest combs show the whole
bird in art nouveau lines across the comb
back It's coloring is wrought in count
les slittle brllliants set in the shell.
Side bags, those in beading, and in the
new feather work, show the peacock in
nuence. one of the former was rendered
effective by the bird with spread tail
done in tiny colored beads in a back
ground composed Of layers Of white
beads.
In the assortment OF feather work bags
several in peacock feathers Of the small
luminous variety that grow about the
neck draw TO themselves exclamations Of
appreciation. The entire bag is composed
of the feathers.

Name.
Dainty accessories

Qualities of shirred baby" panne
ribbon are used upon lace gowns and
upon lace panels, outlining the pattern,
and, where necessary, concealing the
slashes needed to get rid Of surplus
fulness.
The waists of these elaborate gowns
show lines of drapery and are often
splendid with spangles, gold and silver
cloth under cut-work, and mock jewels
In some instances the material itself
plays the smallest part the yoke,
revers, girdle and sleeve drapery being
Of lace, chiffon cloth or other trim
ming.
The waist worn with the tailored
gown may be of delicate lingerie; but
usually another is provided of chiffon
cloth of the exact shade as the gown
itself 1t has fancy shirring and lines
of sllken hand-embroidery, and 1t must
somewhere show touches of the gown
material This is usually of cut-work,
if the gown be Of cloth. For silk and
velvet gowns pieces of the material are
used. embroidered and applied as a
bolero. a bertha, deep girdle, etc.
The dressy cloaks are full and very
nearly circular They are slashed to
permit the arms freer movement, and
at the top their fulness, front, back
and on the shoulders, is confined in
deep-laid box-plaits.
The prices asked for the new furs
soar high. Indeed, it would seem that
there is no limit to the amount of
money one can expend in this direction.
One milliner recently filled an order
for a sable hat. the skins alone costing
eighteen hundred dollars. But Fashion
never troubles her pretty head about
bills. She simply lays down the law.
Those who cannot meet the money
outlay must. if they would be well
dressed, manage to even things by eX-
pending taste and ingenuity i'm securing
originality.
Sable. ermine and chinchilla are used
separately and in charming combina-
tion. The small neck scarfs of last
Winter are now longer and wider, and
many have double and triple ends. The
paddle stole is an innovation. Its long
ends are slung into each other on the
shoulder.
Mink and squirrel are made up in
motoring coats and also as lining fol
the Empire coats. The motor coats
show lining Of delicate tinted silks. The
lining is protected from wind and
weather. and because OF its delicate
color it can do no injury to the hand
somest dinner or theatre gown that
may be worn beneath.

GIVES WARMING
TO Her RIVAL
Mrs. William H. Benson Who
Beat Her Husbands Woman
Companion Still Mad

"I'll beat her every time ! catch her
with him." said Mrs. William II. Ben
son to a reporter for The Evening
Journal to-day in speaking Of the
trouble she had with he spouse and
woman friend with him, on a River
view car yesterday afternoon. "She is
the one that separated my husband and
me. AS / told her mother. 1 will beat
her every time 1 catch them together.
He is still my husband"
The trouble started when Benson
entered the car accompanied by the
Pierce woman. Mrs. Benson had pre-
Viously boarded the trolley, and she be-
came enraged before the car had pro-
ceeded far at the actions Of the pair.
She alleged that Benson snickered at
her and she then attacked his COM
panion with an umbrella. He husband,
she said, then struck her and she then
turned on him.
At Twenty second and Market streets
Benson and his companion got off the
car and so did Mrs. Benson. Hostilities
were again resumed and finally Patrol
man Todd appeared on the scene and
took both into custody.
The mans companion. however, had
discretly retired and left the warning
husband and wife to their fate.
When the case was called in City
Court to-day. a continuance was asked
for until Wednesday. The charge
against the couple is disorderly con-
duct.
Mrs. Benson recently instituted action
for divorce against her husband and it
is understood that the commissioner
appointed in the case will make a re-
turn to the Superior Court this week

lATER COMMISSIONERS
SEE FILTER TESTS

"I cannot understand" said Com
missioner Lindsay. at the Board OF
Water Commissioners this afternoon,
why people want chemicals put in
heir drinking water to purify it,"
The all important question of sand
filtration and mechanical filtration was
he subject under discussion and
3actereologist Robin was present with
iamples of sewage which he showed to
he Board.
The first bottle which he showed the
commissioners he explained contained
water with 100000 bacteria in it, the
second water with 100000 bacteria and
he last contained water purified by the
septic tanks in use at DuPonts Banks,
and which have been recently installed.
This last specimen was perfectly clear
water and contained but 5000 bacteria.
DR.. Robin presented the speciments
he explained that the Board might see
the effectiveness Of the septic tanks
and of sand filtration, which is used to
a cetrain extent in them.
The purified water with its 5000
bacteria was purer said DR.. Robin,
than the Brandywine water as now
drunk by the people of Wilmington.
Two plates were exhibited by DR..
Robin showing bacteria in various
stages of development and arguments
set forth in favor of slow sand fltra-
tion.
During the discussion it was brought
out that several towns in Ohio. which
had adopted mechanical filters had been
visited with an epidemic of typhoid
fever.
The Board will hold another meeting
lat 100 tomorrow afternoon to hear the
merits of the mechanical filter and to
decide on the system for this city 1t
is very probable that slow sand hltra-
tion viii be the choice of the Com
missioners.
one of the Board declared that the
objection to that method was largely
owing to its greater expense but that
such was only at the beginning and
that the plant could be run at mere
nominal charge when once completed.
