The Autumn Skirts

Separate skirts are as pleas.
insIy Individual as any class OF
garments in the displays. Styles
are SO clever as to lend salts
faction to most marked tastes.
The lovers of extremely COL
orful apparel, and styles that
are expressive of the most ar
tistic ideas,are sure to concur
with us in saying that in this
Fall display we exhibit the pref
test line of separate skirts that
has ever been shown in this
community. ACCORDION and box
pleats are quite favored this
season. There are serge and
satin combinations, woolens- Of
novelty fabrics, and silks such
as poplins and tricolettes. En-
broidery' is seen on many skirts.

The Petticoats

In the displays, were no at
tention paid to petticoats, one
might think that they had fall
en- from the good graces Of the
particular woman. Such is not
the case and the new petticoats
are forceful indications of that
truth. They are prettier than
ever this season and despite the
shortages of silks, manufacture
ers were evidently not averse
to devoting good shares Of their
silk yardage to petticoats.
Changeable taffetas, satins and
silk jerseys are popular, and
made up in very pleasing styles.
They are a bit wider perhaps
than you have expected and
ruffles, pleatings and putflngs
are not hard to find.

The Fall Blouses

Some women are believed to
have many costumes and a great
variety OF clothes, merely be-
cause they frequently change
blouses. For the woman who
loves to choose from extensive
stocks, distinctive waists which
will make her as we'll dressed
and the possessor Of attractive
costumes. our waist display in
the Fall Opening will be de-
light. This season bright col
ored embroidery is frequently
seen, and it Is on blouses Of
such good quality that the COM
bination is doubly effective.
Beads are in favor as are wood
en- buttons, and novelty treat
ments are rendered by many
different arrangements of these
two. The long Russian blouse
is an important style note in the
seasons waists. They are In
many colors and with their long
waists make decidedly attract
i've appearance over plain skirts
Blouse collars are both high and
low and sleeves for the most
part are long. You shall miss
much if you miss the display OF
pretty Fall Blouses.

WANT new ROAD TO
GO TO STATE line
Levy Court to be Asked to
Extend Resurfaciug OF
Lancaster Pike
PLAN NOW TO END
IL AT HOCKESS'N

Now that the Levy Court Is having
the Lancaster turnpike from the cily
line 10 Hockessin resurfsced, an agita-
lion has been started TO have the road
rebuilt all the way TO the Pennsylvania
line. a little more than a half mile be-
vopd Hockessin. This plan is advocated
as means Of diyerting tourist travel
10 and from the south, as well as iu
proyide good roads into Pennsylvania
which has good highways TO the Della
ware line connecting with the Hockes-
sin road.
Some residents Of Hockessin and Vi
cinily are advocating the building OF
the Lancaster pike all the way to the
line, instead Of stopping the resurfao-
Ing work at Hockession and the matter
will be brought formally 10 the atten-
iiOn Of the Levy Court. some advocates
Of the plan have talked 10 over inform
ally with some Of the Levy Courtmen.
Levy Courtmen Ward and Stctser, OF
Wilmington, are in favor Of finishing
the road 10 the Pennsylvania line while
the project IS under way, but II Is said
that some Of the rural members are in
different regarding the project, even
though they represent the rural county
which would benefit most by ~.
The building Of the Lancaster pike TO
the Pennsylvania line would furnish an
additional good route between Whining
ton and Baltimore and also connecting
the Lincoln Highway 20 the north, II
Is pointed out. II would connect with
the Baltimore route by way Of Como
wingo bridge. and provide only eleyn
miles OF travel for tourists over Della
ware roads. instead OF eighteen miles
which must be Travelled over Delaware
roads by the Newark-Elkton route. At
any rate, residents OF Hockessin and
vicinity cannot understand why the
Levy Court does not provide for re-
building the additional half mile or so
Of road TO the state line while IL is
making over the road all the way from
Wilmington 10 HOckessin.
