its appearance.

over revers or a bias band binding the
edges.
1t is in many colors or ribbed I'm two
tones. Gilt or silver buttons are often
used to fasten il. though crochet ones
in the new patterns are quite offec-

These waistcoats are much warmer
than those made OF silk or satin or reg,
ular vesting. They are not dressy
enough TO wear with smart afternoon
costumes, but they are admirable FOL
morning occasions when the weather
is biting cold.

ALLIED ART
CLUB FOR CITY

A very significant movement has
been set afoot among the architects
and artists of this city. which will
doubtless add TO the advancement or
art and architecture in Wilmington.
The public as yet knows very little Of
this movement which was started by
two Of Wilmington's architects, who
realized the necessity for some educa-
tion and social system among the
younger generation of craftsmen.
A club has been formed and con-
stitution adopted and the first architsc.
tural problem has been issued and tho
drawings submitted. The subject Of
this first competition was to provide
a seal conveying by form and motto
the ideals OF the club. which would be
suitable for use in publication and on
stationery. Nine drawings were sub
mitted and one was selected for the use

Association OF Alcohol Manufacturers,
the largest industrial OF
potatoes, took this task upon them
selves and organized a branch to their
association, to be known as the Nerein

voted TO the question of using dried
potatoes in various forms for stock
feed.
