Going Back to the Horse.

For several weeks past the rep
Iresentative Of a big firm Of New
York horse dealers has been in the
Middle West selecting good horses
suitable for delivery work. The
order calls for $40 horses, and the
agent states he has travelled over a
large amount Of ground and has
not yet been able to complete the
order. The horses that he has Sc
lected in Indiana are of a high
type of work horse and he pays
good prices for them. These
horses are being selected on an or
der from several of the largest de-
partment stores in New York,
which some time ago gave up their
horse drawn vehicles and substitut-
ed the automobiles. Now the au-
tomobiles are to be discarded so
soon as the horses can be procured
This is due to the fact that the
managers of the delivery depart
ments Of these two big stores have
found that automobiles are not only |
more expensive to maintain, but |
that they have lost the advertising |
power they had when that service
was inaugurated. There was a
time when the automobile was a
novelty and when the New York
ers would sit up and take notice"
when an auto delivery wagon ap-
1eared on the streets. Now no

for this generation, and ifhe were to hold
up the appointment it might be charged
by the advocates OF good roads that if the
1 governor had acted promptly then central
Delaware could have had good roads just
the same as New Jersey and New Castle
county.
The commissioners to be appointed will
draw a 81 900 salary from the state and
the indication is that be will have nothing
to do but to draw that salary. The SEN
ate might refuse to confirm him at the
extraordinary session to be held here ~
called by the governor for June 14th,
the governor could Immediately Ap-
point or appoint another for the recess Of
the Senate
Meantime the Levy Court must pro-
vide Offices for him and such surveyors
as he may need for his work Of laying out
the roads to be improved.
A split in the ranks of the Democrats
is likely to result, as the Daly-Soper men
are "hot" over the do-nothing policy
adopted by lhe Levy Court, and the VOL.
,ott men are just as determined that
nothing shall be done and that the court
shall not go ahead and borrow the money.

bronze Slippers Fashionable

Bronze shoes, slippers and ii
are the newest thing in footwear
invented by Fashion, if that can
be called new which is, after all,
but a revival OF an old style. The
bronze kid appears in many
forms; pumps with iaunty rib
bon bows, strap slippers, high
button boots and low cut ties.
This new kind of footwear can
be used for many purposes but
is intended primarily for dressy
Wear.

An immense variety Of materials
are used for summer frocks. Pom
gee is enormously popular, so also
is linen, batiste, Marguisette, cotton
voile, chambray, and that extreme
ly useful fabric, foulard. The re
vival of foulard comes as a boon to
womenkind. 1t is used for every
thing from plain mourning frocks
to elaborate afternoon gowns and in
light shades even for dancing dress

The indispensable Brassiere

The brassiere is now as inde-
spensible as her corset to every
woman who pays any attention
to the fit of her gowns. A prop
erly made brassiere holds and
molds the figure above the corset
bearing all the strain which 9TH
erwise stretches and wears the dress
waist, and also preventing the ugly
line at the top of the corset which
often shows so distressingly across
the back of the bodice.
A new style brassiere that closes
in front has 3 small cross bones at
the side Of the bust which prevent
the figure from spreading, and Sc
cure the fashionable trimness of line.
In the back closing, surplice bras
siere, there is a new model, made
with a reinforcing shield under the
arm, which helps both the shape
and wear Of the garment. Both are
made by the Debervoise Co., and
can be found at most corset depart
ments in the best stores.

New Ideas in FrockS.

All the latest models in pom
gee or linen gowns show effective
variations Of the new long waist
line. This is seen not only in
princess dresses but also in coat
suits, the skirts of the latter be-
ing cut with a deep hip yoke be-
low which the material is box
pleated or set on in circular style.
The newest princess frocks have
a fitted cuiress effect, extending
well below the hips and below
this are box pleats or a gathered
flOunce effect.
