GOODS FOR LITTLE DRESSES
INCLUDE FINE LINENE
AND NAINSOOK

If the baby dress is not made of the
finest of handkerchief linen, French
nainsook or a very fine batiste is chos-
en- These are the soft materials-soft
as well as sheer
They are the materials in which en-
broidery is done most successfully, and
the oaby's dress de luxe Is always hand
embroidered. There seems TO be little
excuse for treating It in any other way.
1t may nave or It the merest touch Of
handwork-indeed, scarcely more than a
few eyelets and a tiny blossom and
sten-and yet follow the French idea.
1t may even then be the hand-em-
broidered baby dress that has the look
and the sound that no other sort of a
dress possesses. The little round yokes
are attached to the fulled-on skirt por-
ton with the tiniest Of beading. or else
the yoke scallops are Tapped down over
the fullness. The neck is edged with the
little handmade scallops and the sleeves
are usually beaded In.
There are deliberately adorned dresses
for the smallest Of babies-tlny robes
heavy with baby Irish lace-but they are
intended for christening robes. not for
the daily outing or the generally lazy
times that baby dotes on.

THERE is disposition on the part
of the liquor interests and those
favorable to its sale, to attribute as
a cause for the large number Of
eases in court the working Of the
local option law. Let us see what
there is in this. In Wilmington
the present term Of court has been
the largest in the history for New
Castle County, yet New Castle is a
wet district. Could the localoption
Jaws of Kent and Sussex counties
have this effect on New Castle?
No. No sensible human being
would advance an argument OF that
kind. While there are cases in
Sussex and Kent county court
pending and to be heard, which
have violation of the local option
laws as their base, yet by far the
greater part Of the business before
the courts arise from other causes
which are brought aboutby the en-
vironments, and the business Of
Delaware, which require large
numbers of a foreign element to as
sist the people Of the state in its
industries. The Sussex Republi-
can on this subject last week took
occasion to say:
Very few of the cases are for sell
ing liquor, but the large number of
cases are of the nature which can
in no way be traced to the use of
Intoxicating liquor. Most of the
cases are from Seaford and nearly |
all from the Western side of the
County, the Eastern and middle
portion of the County contributing
very few, in fact, we do not recall
a session of Court when so few
criminal matters were sent up from
the latter portion of the County.
From these facts it would seem
that the large number of criminal
cases is the result of some other
than dry territory. Sea
ford has for several years furnished
most of our criminal business and
most of the offenders are negroes
who have drifted into that section
of the County from the South, and
belong to the wandering criminal
element of that race. They drift
up the Chesapeake, attracted by
the large canneries at Seaford, and
by the small fruit industries on that
side of the County. The police
of Seaford, in the last
few months, have been making an
effort to brake up this criminal ele-
ment and many arrests have follow
ed, hence the unusually large pro-
portion from Seaford. Crimes like ,
playing crap, carrying concealed
deadly weapons, forgery and crimes ,
Of similar nature are not traceable
10 the influence of Intoxicating
liquor. The crime from this source
IS now on the wane, of course it will
continue for a time and men who
would defy the law will incite eothers
to ignore it. The speakeasies are
earning that they must abide by
he law or go to Jail, and that will Z
surely soon break up that kind Of
,iolation.
The people of the two lower
counties know that they can not 4
