A girdle in bright pink ribbon de-
fines the waist line OF this frock and
similarly high-colored ribbons are on
many another lingerie gown. Many
OF these lengths of silken weave are
in yellow, for all lemon and lime
tones are fetching with thin white, as
are also the paler green's, especially the
tint known as young green" copied
from springs first foliage. These high
ly-colored girdles sometimes are mere
ly ribbon sashes arranged in butterfly
bows that all but cover the back of
the bodice. In the same way is used

dispute the prestige of red and white.

1.-THE question which dressmakers
and milliners are asking each
other is whether or not enough
plain organdie has been manufactured
to meet the demand Of this season.
OF course, dressmakers are the more
concerned, for they use bolts where
milliners use yards.
The plainness of lingerie frocks is
their chief charm. On them is neither
a scrap of lace nor an inch OF en-
troidery Bands of tiny tuckings,
hemstitched at both edges, or applied
shirred bands are their sole trimming.
Either sort of garnishing makes an
exceedingly dainty finish for under
skirt, overskirt and bodice. Entire
sleeves are of tucked or shirred bands
graduating in width from wrist to
shoulders.
Very charming is frock with the
sleeves and underskirt in rows OF
puffs. Its long overskirt is plain,

TIE salient feature OF this seasons

are embroidered in an open-stitch

daintiest of frocks are mounted upon
chiffon or kindred fabric of slight

scheme is followed in the pink, blue

material for exquisitely delicate lin

Madeira work dyed to match the

Net Is Not Neglected.
Not to include at least one white
ret in the summer wardrobe is to
display lack of appreciation of one of
the loveliest of lingerie materials. 1t
would be hard to resist the appeal of
a white net, the skirt of which has
foot group of FIVE tiny plain ruffles
surmounted by a tier of wide deeply
scalloped hounces. each headed by up
standing flower stems with tiny
clusters of blue beads.
Straight across the shoulders of the
bodice extends a strip of net, which
is looped over the tops of cut-in-one
sleeves, finished at the elbows with
the embroidered scallop design. The
collar, running in fiat points to the
ends of the shoulders, is in net and
the sash is in the fashionable high
blue MORE ribbon.
The skirt of a second white net has
three deep hounces edged with finely
pointed scallops headed by a second
row in cerise outlined with white.
Cerise scalloping crosses the bodice's
shoulders at front and back, forming
4 square neck, and cerise-edged ruffles
finish the sleeves, which make a sim
gle puff from shoulder to elbow. This
model is equally fetching in white net
with blue. green, yellow or brown.
With black instead OF a color it is
found in mourning wardrobes.

might be enclosed with glass and
within there might be fireplace that
the shelter may be bright and attrac-
tive place in which the skaters could
rest or where they could put on and

Ideal Spot for Dancing.
There is at least one tennis court
which is used at times as dancing
place. In this instance the court,
which is upon large country estate,
is OF wood and is covered with an
especially prepared canvas which re-
mains in place throughout the year.
Upon festive occasions, when the ten
mis- court is TO be used for another
purpose, the stationary cover is COLI
cealed beneath another covering of
heavy white crash or linen and a sur
face well adapted for dancing is the
result.
This court is surrounded by tall
green hedge Of privit and at one side
there stands the most picturesque OF

" HE average tennis court, whlle
affording endless opportunity
for enjoyment to the devotees
OF the most delightful OF open air
sports, can hardly be regarded as add
ing greatly to the appearance of the
country place.
Courts Of grass, while the least OBJ
ectionable from a decorative stand
point, are hardly the most popular, un
less very well cared for, frequently
clipped and rolled by the heaviest OF
rollers TO create surface as hard as
possible. Courts OF concrete or as
phalt are very firing to play on and
can hardly be considered beautiful,
but courts OF bare earth rolled to a
surface as hard as can be obtained
are the most common and generally
satisfactory, even if not beautiful TO
look at.
The ugliness of tennis court, even
If il cannot be wholly concealed. can
at least be somewhat nitigated by the
use OF various useful as well as pict-
uresque adjuncts. Many court is
screened by tall, clipped hedge. In
order that the tennis balls may not
become lost beneath the hedge, wide
strip OF wire netting extending from
the ground to the top OF the hedge IS
placed closely against it and the hedg-
ing plant allowed to grow through the
netting, thus concealing the screen
which makes the losing OF tennis balls
impossible.
The most unsightly details Of the
tennis court are the stops" placed all
around the court or at the ends to
prevent the balls being driven too far
away. These stops" are ordinarily
merely wide strips Of wire netting, but
the netting may be stretched upon the
strong vertical and horizontal tinbers
OF solid structure somewhat resem-
bling a pergola, and the vines allowed
20 grow upon the structure will in no
way impair its efficiency as tennis
stop" while they will add much to
It's appearance.
Shelter" Lends Picturesque Touch.
Then. too, shelter of some kind
will often beautify the tennis court
and serve a useful purpose by making
it more comfortable. Sometimes a
court is provided with small build
ing, perhaps tea house" which is apt
70 be low and picturesque structure
rooted and hoored but with three sides
OF lattice work or trellises and open
upon the fourth side, which faces the
court.
Such little shelter should be placed
not at the end of the tennis court but
at one side, position toward which
balls are not likely to be driven, for
the shelter will be quite as much for
the benefit of those who assemble 70
watch the games as tor the players
themselves and even the most ardent
spectators of hotly contested game
are apt to wish to avoid being struck
by ball.
A tennis court shelter may easily be
made the most picturesque of aces

Court Used for Skating.

A court may sometimes be built so
as to serve another and altogether
different purpose. If built OF con
crete, asphalt or any similar material
and surrounded by rim or low wall,
it can be flooded at the beginning OF
winter and so provide a surface for
skating. In this case, however, there
must be an outlet or drain to make
possible the escape OF the water when
the courts duties as a skating rink
have been completed, and when with
the approach of spring it begins %

whereon to play tennis. Where a court

should there be a tea table, there

Local Baseball

Immediately following the ap
pearance of the sun on Ground
Hog Day, E. j. Ellison, manager
Of the Aetna Base Ball Team
called a meeting of all those inter.
ested in the American Game Oh
February 10th at the Hose House
At this meeting the prospects OF
the season will be discussed and
officers for the ensuing year will be
elected.
From present indications there
is every reason to believe that New
ark can put a winning team in the
field. Much of this depends on the
public support. The personnel of
the team, Of course, cannot be
overlooked but in small towns, the
public too often fail to give that
cooperation that means so much.
1t is thought that Newark will
again play in the Tri-County but
this is matter for future consid-

Manager Ellison wishes now to
arouse some Of the old time enthus-
lasm in the game and asks that the

Woes Of Wealthy Editors

A news item from Wilmington
states that when c.. O. Melvin. edi-
tor of the Pocomoke City Ledger,
reached Wilmington to attend the
Peninsula Press Association, he
missed diamond stud valued at
$500 and recalled that he had for
gotten to remove it from a shirt
which had gone out in the family
wash. He got busy on the tele-
phone and started things on the
hunt down in Pocomoke, with what
success has not been learned. We
publish this item as being another
proof of the proverbial careless
ness of country editors in little
matters of this sort. We can re-

Mary At The Door

Mary, mother, blessed, good,
Who all women understood.
When her glorious Son had died
In her soul was crucified,
But she rose above her woe
And went walking to and fro;
Where men sighed or women
grieved,
Children suffered, where bereaved
Or oppressed could have her care
She went, blessing everywhere.
Into every place she went
Christ, her son, a blessing sent.
Crime was banished from that day,
Seltishness was put away,
Children sick grew strong and well,
From the slaves the shackles fell,
And the prisoners, spirit-sore,
Saw her and were sad no more.
Even scotfers reverent stood,
Seeing God III womanhood.
Still, in womanhood on earth,
Mary, who brought Christ to birth,
Seeks to walk in every place
Blessing those who see her grace.
In the home where she has been
God is there revealed again,
In the church, if she abide,
Christ is by the affairs side;
Oh, the pity, loss and sin,
When we will not let her in!
Many children toll and die,
Many weary mothers sigh,
Cruel men with rods of gold
Drive the workers thin and cold.
Open now the portals all,
Capitol and council hall,
Voting places, lest you sin,
Let the gentle mother in;
While she waits one door outside
With her waits the Crucifed.
