convict LABOR ON PUBLIC
ROADS AT rs CENTS A DAY

Trustees of the New Castle County
Workhouse conferred with Levy Court
; recently IN regard to the employment of
convict labor on county roads.
The hope was expressed by Commits
sloner Groves of the district that an
| agreement could be reached by which
the several roads near the workhouse
could be kept up by that institution.
which built the roads.
L. Allen Hilles, trustee, said that an
agreement was desirable by the trustees.
put that payment would have to be on
the basis of man per day, since the con-
dluons of the highways varied so greatly
that no estimates could be made for
contracts by the mile His proposition
was to furnish men at 70 cents a dav,
and to provide sufficient guards. 1t
would be lmpracticable, though, he said
to work the men far from the'workhouse
that is several miles away-because
OF dearth of transportation facilities !
ana adequate means of housing the con-
vlcts away from the institution.
Commissioner Scott objected to this |
statement, declaring it was unjust to
certain parts of the county to build roads
with ordinary labor, while the section
near the WorkhOuse had the ADVANTAGE /
NfN- WIN AlSOs uG Sdlu, 10 cents i
day for these laborers was too high in
view of the fact that the county paws 40
cents day for their maintenance.
Mr.. Burris concurred in this. and. 4
later, Mr.. Groves asked the trustees to
lower the rate to so cents a day.
j. Frank Ball, trustee, took issue with
this, saying that the 40 cents mainten-
ance fee had to be paid in any event
and 70 cents paid for convict labor was
certainly cheaper than S1.50 for other
labor The maintenance fee would be
reduced to a minimum eventually. he
said, as soon as the warehouses; bonded
was paid off. Nh
The trustees refused to agree to a
ower rate and went away saying thex-
were willing to help the county but had 1
done all we can. .
Levy Court Commissioner Smith said
le had men at Stanton, 25z miles from
heir place of incarceration, and thew Z
we're taken away without notice. Mr..
lilies answered this, saying the work
vas done along the road until the dis ID
ance became too great for it to be con-
inued longer.
On motion of Mr.. Smith a resolution
vas adopted putting the matter in the
ands OF Commissioner Groves, James
wilson, county engineer, and Frank L. n
peakman, the courts attorney.

we were warned that our dress would

that the whole trend of fashion would
be militaristic. Alas for the false
prophets. A little braiding, few metal
buttons, patch pockets, an epaulet or
! so, and a good number OF decidedly
warlike hats and caps were the only
permanent Impressions left by the
world catastrophe upon our garments.

Designers look east and west for
, inspiration, and their eyes have linger,
ed again on Russia. We have had
Russian things for so long. and heard
so much about them. that this tact
! seems at first like at least a twice-told
tale. When we begin to analyZe, how
ever, we find that our Russian things
have come to US more strongly tinged
with the oriental than the race itself.
and the conviction grows upon us that
we have worn, not Russian clothes, but
Russian ballet clothes. and that Is a
very different story.
However, we are to have the real.
unadulterated thing this winter. on the
street at least, and let US hope that the
weatherman will send US plenty of
clear, frosty days to wear them on. 1t
seems hardly fair. particularly at pres
ent, that we should dwell On Russia and
/ ignore Poland. She has obtruded her
! self most poignantly and pitifully upon
| our notice of late, and 1t is natural that
| reflection of this should be seen in
our garments. Cheruit has emphasized
| the polonaise, which many OF us forget
was first introduced to do honor to
| Louis Xv's rather stolid Polish queen
| The polonaise, however, was French
adaptation; but the sketch shows that
good results may be accomplished by
going to the fountain-head directly for
/ ideas. The long. fur-trimmed coat,
worn over the belted waistcoat, and the
| pleated skirt under it are taken from
| a national costume of Poland. These
softly pleated skirts are very popular
| and look well under the long, flaring
coats Of which there are SO many.

GRAPES ARE RIPE.

Grapes have always been a favorite
fruit Of mankind. Six thousand years
ago. perhaps, the Egyptians were making
wine, and, doubtless. eating grapes as
they picked them. But it is not probable
that they had thought out SO many
pleasant ways of using them as we have
nowadays.
This is sort Of grape sauce to eat
with meats: Stone cupful Of sour, green
grapes and scald in double boiler. Beat
the yolks OF two eggs. and add to them
tablespoonful Of lemon juice, butter the
size Of walnut. a teaspoonful of chopped
parsley, a dash Of cayenne. Add this
mixture to the grapes. with two table
spoonfuS OF stock and a tablespoonful of
-four. Cook in the double boiler until the
-four is cooked and serve with meats.
This makes a grape beverage quite
worth the drinking: Wash four pounds Of
grapes and rub them through a straner
pint of water, and sprig of mint. Pour
this over a cake of ice, or chill it and pour
it over brick of orange water ice, in
punch bowl.
Grape Jelly can be made with any sort
of grapes. Amy sweet jelly is the founda-
tion-orange, grape juice jelly, sweet
ened white wine jelly-any would do. Aim
to have some contrast in the colors used.
Begin by wetting a mold and pouring
into it about an inch Of liquid jelly and
Put in a layer Of grapes of any kind.
When this has hardened. add more grapes
and another inch of liquid jelly, and con-
tinue in this way until the mold is full.
Chill and serve with whipped cream.
Orange jelly with purple grapes, grape
juice jelly with green and white grapes.
white wine jelly with red and purple
grapes-all these would be effective. The
same jelly can be prepared in cups or in
dividual molds.
Grapes in punches may be served
frosted. To do this. cut clusters of five
or six firm, ripe grapes, dip each in boil
ing sirup and cool If not sufficiently
frosted, dip again. and chill before serving
II you wish to keep grapes fresh for
several weeks choose the punches made up
of only sound grapes. Cut them just be-
fore they are fully ripe, and Immediately
on cutting dip each stem into melted wax
to seal 1t, Much depends on handling
| them carefully, so that they are not
bruised. They can be hung by strings
| from the underside of cool shelf or laid
on paper on a cool shelf
