City Stores

The unusually tempting display OF
goods and the ideal weather combined
have crowded the stores Of Wilmington

The universal comment OF tho merch-
ants is that more Of the lockers are
also buyers" this year than for seasons
past The "shop in Wilmington" move
ment is growing rapidly. The pleasant
and painstaking service Of the clerks is
a characteristic of the Wilmington stores
that makes # a pleasure to shop in the
city. The rabbits. Easter eggs, and Easter
cards, are Of course, in the position Of
prominence. and there are baskets of
every imaginable shape and size. So
festive are the decorations and so numer-
Gus the shoppers. that there is much of
the Christmas-tide atmosphere about the
stores. and the observer has to stop and
rub his eyes occasionally to make sure
It is rabbits and not holly that he is look
ing at.

Lowering the vitality.

All kinds OF ailments are engendered
and developed by keeping the body
too warm or too cold. Whichever way
one does 1t lowers the vitality so that
the body cannot resist disease in a
vigorous manner, The doctors agree
that clothing of any appreciable weight
is not good, and the manufacturers
have met this dictum by making ex-
cellent fabrics and undergarments that
have warmth without weight.
Union suits from knee to chest are
considered more healthful than fan
mel of any kind. They protect the
body because they cling closely. They
are made OF Swiss cotton and linen
mesh. Wool is not allowable. Those
without sleeves and low In the neck
are right, because they are kept on
In the house, which is too warm for a
heavier garment. When one goes out
into very cold air 1t Is better to put
on Shetland wool undervest, which
Is thin enough to run through brace
let and warm enough to keep out Icy
winds. The vital thing is to keep the
body from getting moist and making 1t
Q victim to every breath OF air.

Care of Laces.

Care of Laces.
Always iron lace on the right side
first, and then on the wrong side to
throw up the pattern.
When ironing laces, cover them with
clean white tissue paper. This pre-.
vents the shiny look seen on washed
laces.
When putting laces away, fold as
little as possible. A good plan is to
wind them round card, as they do In
the diapers shops.
Use contour instead of ordinary
starch for stiffening laces. This makes
them firm, and does not destract from
the lacey" appearance.
Laces and other delicate trifles
should be placed In a muslin bag be-
fore being boiled. This prevents their
getting lost and torn In the wash.
Lace on collars, handkerchiefs, ETC.,
should always be mended before be-
ing washed. In these cases 1t Is very
true that "a stitch in time saves nine"
All laces, before being ironed, should
be carefully pulled out, each point be-
ing attended to. The lace will look
twice as well for this and will stay
clean a much longer time.

extensively. For tools the Nubians OF
that date used stone, and very good
and sharp-cutting tools they made OF
it, too. Flint lance-heads and flint
knives were found IN abundance, but
no trace of copper tool was In evil
dence for some centuries.
The next period ranges from 2SO0
B. c. to 1900 B. c., during which cop
per was discovered to be highly use
full as cutting metal and was manu-
factured accordingly. This was also
the period Of greatest change in the
bodily characters of these people. Tne
anatomists who made the examlna-
tions declared that new type OF man
had been imported among the people
of che lower Nile and had mixed his
blood with that of the people he found
there before him. The secret of the
perfect preservation of bodies for six.
ty centuries lies in the fact that the
people, probably not able to afford the
methods of embalming that were prac-
ticed by the swell" Egyptians, just
took their dead and thoroughly salted
the bodies.
One disease which seemed to have
been prevalent to an extraordinary de-
gree was rheumatic gout. Thousands
of these people had suffered from gout
and from rheumatism. Graves were
found containing fifteen or twenty
bodies, all members of the same fami-
ly, and several generations of the same
family. The anatomists were thereby
enabled to trace peculiar anatomical
resemblances from father to son, as
we'll as evidences of transmitted dis
ease.
That this marvellous method of pre-
serving the dead is not practicable
generally to day is due to the fact that
one of the essentials of the success OF
the method is the peculiarly dry at.
mosphere Of Egypt and the unlimited
quantities of perfectly dry sand in
which to bury the bodies after they
have been treated with the salt or the
solution of salt which the ancient Nu
bians used.

If the world was created 5000 years
ago and the story of the expulsion
from Eden is not myth, confrma-
tory evidence of that fact will be
found by old-line Bible people in some
of the things recently unearthed in
Nubia. From very recent research it
has been established that disease en-
tered the world in the form of gout
and tuberculosis not less than 5000
years ago-either entered it at that
time or had been there for an indeter-
minable time previously.
Nearly sixty centuries have rolled
away since the Nubians lived in the
Valley of the Nile and were victims of
the intestinal concretions which seem
to be the cause of appendicitis. For
tunately for archaeological science, the
diggers took with them an anatomist
or two, who knew a thing or SO about
their business and turned over to their
inspection the bodies that were un-
earthed from this ancient civilization
which has been lying buried under the
wash and sands of the Nile from a
time which merges into the vanishing
point of history. In these excavations
were found evidences of civilization
from date preceding the earliest
known dynasties of Egyptian kings
down to the Byzantine age. These peo-
pie seem to have lived undisturbed in
the possession of their fertile fields
and their well-built towns, probably
under the protection of the kings of
Egypt. In fact, careful examination
of their heads and faces showed that
they were in reality Egyptians them
selves. They did not belong to the
aristocracy, but were rather the hum
BILE tillers of the soil-the farmers Of
that prehistoric time. They had a
knowledge of copper, but they had not
yet progressed sufficiently far in the
metallic arts-in the period previous
to say 1900 B. C.-to use that metal
for instruments. The only utility they
could find for copper was its use as
ornaments for the person. For this
purpose 1t was manufactured and sold

The shawl is now one OF the most
important articles of dress in Paris.
Long, tight, severely plain sleeves
are rapidly giving way to the elab-
crate models.
Fine frills of hemstitched lawn
brighten up wooden or dark silk waist
wonderfully.
Unfinished fabrics, such as home
spun and hopsack basket weaves, are
popular as novelties.
Sleeves made up in series Of
flounces are among the prettiest con-
ceits in dancing frocks.
While skirts may be plated, they
do not express fullness. In Paris there
are under tapes to hold them down.
Instead of single fancy button as
finish to the front of coat, tassel
more or less elaborate is often used.
Bishop sleeves are In the height Of
fashion. and they are often trimmed
with bands, forming the sleeve into
puffs.
The killed plaid skirt with the plain
cloth bodice, with tight sleeves, is
among the fashionable delights of the
season.
Many Of the new skirts show plaits
introduced in great variety, side and
box plaits mounted on hip yoke or
side yokes, or laid in full length.
A tie worn on waists which go un-
der jumper is a long, narrow cravat,
caught at the neck with an ornament,
the united ends being finished with
pendants.
The sharp-pointed waist is seen now
and then In ultra-fashionable costumes,
but 1t Is still too radical to be ex.

back to Its own remains to be seen.
Cashmere cloth is one of the most
popular of the seasons fabrics, and
nothing Is better for practical hard
wear. 1t Is to be had In nearly any
design and color. Black and blue are
popular.
