SOCIAL SEASON
<
NEARING END

With Lent one day off and the social
season practically at an end, society is
reviewing the gayeties Of the last three
months. The general opinion is that
although there were many small en-
tertainments and several large ones,
too. there was less entertaining than
last year. The tendency was for i'm
promptu affairs, when the Invitation
was conveyed by a phone call and a
request to stop in this evening for a
bite to eat and a game OF bridge"
Most Of the entertainments have been
given in honor Of debutantes. As
usual, Wilmington society made a
great 'to-do" over it's youngest mem
bers. The buds" were unusually
pretty this season, and it is the general
opinion that not for several years have
there been so many dainty, girllsh-
looking debutantes.

for the shipment Of bodies that have
been promulgated by the state Board
OF Health, and it is likely that tho
undertakers viii form an association to
take some concerted action to protect
their own interests. Some of the
undertalers have no hcsitancy IN say
ing that the rules Of the Health Board
are not only impracticable in some in
stances. but the undertakers never
know positively when or where they
are going TO fnd Dr. Alexander Low
ber, the secretary. In order to get a
shipment permit In addition the State
Board is to charge 81 for each permit
for shipment issued.
"rhe 81 fee VIII not come out OF the
undertakers but from persons having
the body shipped" said an undertaken
this morning. "The people should
know that they must pay this money
which the board is now TO exact. Who

GREATEST CONCRETE BRIDGE.
Just Finished at Washington and Re-
markable for Several Reasons.

Washington.-The largest concrete
bridge in the world has just received
the finishing touches at Washington.
The Connecticut avenue bridge, as 1t
is known, spans the deep gorge of
Rock creek, not Is minutes by trolley
from the center Of the city.
The structure Is remarkable for sew
eral reasons. In the first place 1t is
built entirely Of concrete without be-
ing REINFORCED with steel
1t is 1,421 feet long, with 52-foot
roadway and walk on either side.
The floor of the bridge Is 1876 feet
above the ground. There are several
150-foot arches and two narrow onef
of SO feet.
Work was begun about seven years
ago on the foundations, though the
plans had already taken about two
years to complete. The work haltet
owing to the failure of congress to ap.
propriate enough money to COM
plete 1t.
But about three years ago the nee
essary bills went through and a really
beautiful bridge is now the result.
The cost was 100000.
