has been given that well-greased
legs will be useful if the new trous-
ers are to be put on and taken off
in comfort.
1t will be an all day job to get
into some of these Winter style
pantaloons, and the women with
memories of the original hobble-
skirt will be watchful when the
men appear on the streets. To be
exact, the trousers will fit closely
at the thighs and hips, measure 10
inches at the knee and 16 IL inches
at the bottom.
Coats will not be markedly diff
ferent from former years except
that they will conform more to the
dictates Of London fashions. Men
are not supposed to have "shoul-
ders' this year, SO the excessive
padding in which so many good
tailors have been indulging will be
a thing of the past. 1t is true that
some figures will have to be built
up to natural lines" but as gen
eral thing shoulders will protrude
into the sleeves and the covering
will not be stuffed to give box
effect
The most startling effects will be
produced in morning coats, the
short waist being used. The in
tention is to have the trousers reach
far above the ordinary level, and
the lapels of the coat will be given
long rolls. In this way the man
with short legs will be made to APP
pear angular and tall.
Overcoats of the light variety
will be close-ftting, but the "box'
style will be employed again for
the cold-weather kind. One Of the
newest things, yet Of the old-fash-
ioned type, will be the covert cloth
in Spring and Fall overcoats.
The exhibition will include
cloths of every description, but the
small checks and fine stripes will be
much in evidence. Green as a
"ground" for pepper and salts"
and other mixtures will be more
widely known than ever before.

Farmers And Gum
ming Privileges

See here, Mr.. City Man: If two
or three farmers with two or three
guns and two or three dogs should
come to Wilmingt II by train or
auto, invade your premises and
proceed to hunt over them without
asking your permission, what
would you do? The answer to that
question is: "Order them off and
have them arrested if they refused
to go"
Well, Mr.. City Man: How do
you think a farmer feels toward
you when you and two or three
friends, with two or three guns and
two or three dogs, invade his prem
ises and, without saying even so
much as "By your leave" proceed
to tramp over his land and kill his
game and carry it off to the city
to form the basis for a game din
ner? As a general thing he feels
about as you would feel were he
and his friends to tramp and shoot
over your city grounds. The diff
ference is that most farmers ard
too easy-going and good-hearted to
order the city man off, no matter
what their feelings may be with re-
spect to the trespass. That has
been for years the attitude Of nine
out of ten Delaware farmers.
Now, Mr.. City Man, the indica-
tions are that there is to be new
dispensation in cunning privileges
in the rural districts in Delaware.
Many farmers are awakening to the
fact that game birds and beasts
and hunting privileges on land
have value, and that they should
get that value out Of those things.
Newark post., 1913-09-17

The indications are that within a
short time the city man who
wishes to gun over Delaware
farm will have to pay for the priv
ilege. Information 10 that effect
comes from several sections down
the State. In fact, it is a practice
that already is being applied to
several farms not far from Will
mington. We know of an instance
in which, prior to the opening of
the present reedbird season, two
Wilmington sportsmen went out to
a farm near the Delaware, saw the
farmer personally and bought, at
price mutually satisfactory, the
reedbird cunning rights ON that
farm 1t was a good transaction
for all parties concerned. The
farmer did not look upon the gun
ners as trespassers and the gum
ners did not feel like trespassers.
They knew that, for the time being,
they had legal right to be and to
hunt where they were.
1t would be well for the farmers
and the gunners if that system
were extended to all the rural dis
tricts, because it would be source
of profit to the farmers and give
to the gunners a feeling of security
and self-respect that a trspasser
nver possesses.
