THEY WONDERED
WHERE SHE GOT
HER CLOTHES
WeIl-Dressed Woman Has Her
Neighbors Guessing Until
She Volunteers to En-
tighten Them.

Tins certain young lady tells her story
in simple language:
With the price Of clothes topnotch,
found myself IN the same circumstances
with hundreds of others earning ike
amount Of money. II seemed IS II could
never save up quite enough 10 buy that
suit or coat or dress. j would get the
arnount about hsf saved, when something
eIse would come UP and would be back
70 where ] started. My pay envelope
didn't seem 10 cover. i was sacrificing
nv personal appearance and trying TO
make the old clothes do.
Finally, one day when returning from
work, found a very dear girl friend Of
mine waiting for me, and noting that she
was outftted in smart tailored suit and
becoming hat, i frankly asked her how
much she was earning in order TO buy such
clothes.
she smiled and said: why, my dear,
YOU earn as much as | do-the only diff
ference is that know how and where 10
buy, and you don't; Just come down
with me to LIVINGSTONE SECOND
FLOOR AT Cos MARKET ST. They have
fine showing of new apparel. They allow
YOU TO pick out any garment you want,
pav little down and a small amount
each week You viii hardly miss the little
payments, and you viii always be well
dressed
The following day needed my friends
advice and paid visit 10 oLIVINGSTONS
where ] was gwen very courteous atten-
tion. No embarrassing questions were
asked Just my promise to pay has made
me the possessor of the finest clothes !
ever wore-and today | am the happiest
girl in the city"
Don't let your personal pride stand in
the way of your personal appearance. If
YOU want 70 be well dressed pay visit to

large sum to remodel Middletown's
old schoolhoure because the building
is leased from the trustees of Middletown
Academy and the grounds are too small.
He stated the board hopes to call in the
near future on the taxables in the county
to vote on proposed bond issue of
81 100000. He said Middletown, Dela-
ware City, Richardson Park and Rose
Hill need new schoolhouses and Middle
town should have the largest. Should
81 ,00O,0 200 bonds be issued and the Della
ware School Auxiliary Association add
S250,0O0 thereto, he stated, Middle
town would probably receive one-fourth
or one-fifth Of the aggregate sum and
erect sehoolhouse of Colonial design,
containing Ii rooms, with auditorium
and gymnasium, and costing about
100000.
Architect Wallace r.. Hance, who has
drawn plans for the proposed school
house, said they call for two-story
building, with heavy brick walls and
slate roof, the structure to be fireproof
throughout and to be well lighted and
ventilated. He announced that the
State and county Boards of Education
had approved the plans.
Mrs. II. b. Mcdowell, Mrs. George
Wiggins, Jesse l.. Shepherd and e. M.
Richards expressed hope that Middle
town would get n new schoolhouse, and
200 children voted unanimously in
favor of the project.
Representative-elect Alexander P. Cor
bit said the question is how much can
New Castle county afford TO spend.
He estimated that a new schoolhouse for
Middletown would cost the same amount
as eight miles of good road and thought
the former is as necessary az the latter.
BOND ISSUE FAVORED.
p. r. Strickland, q member of the
county Board Of Education, stated some
school buildings are worse than cattle
sheds. He favored the proposed bond
issue and urged all who were present to
advocate it,
Eugene II. Shallcross, also member
of the county Board of Education,
praised the school law. He said Della
ware, formerly 30 on the educational
list, now has an up-to-date school system
and should not 60 backward. He de-
clared the strongest obiectors 10 the
school law are persons who know the
least about It. He thought the Legisla-
ture will slightly amend but not re-
peal the school law. He stated If ST.
100000 bonds were authorized they
would be issued when needed and cover
period of four or five years, one-twenty-
fifth being redeemed annually.

Association. After welcoming the audi
enoc Mrs. John B. Cleaver, president
of the association, asked Frederick
Brady TO preside. Rev. Percy l.. Donaghay
pronounced an invocation.
Wilbur II. Jump, superintendent of
schools in New Castle county, spoke on
school consolidation, which he said is
popular in Ohio Indiana and Illinois. He
stated Indiana has made the most rapid
progress, having 600 consolidated schools,
which are indorsed by 90 per cent of the
patrons and interest 1000, 900 persons.
Referring to school consolidation in
Delaware, he mentioned the combina-
ton of Armstrong Corner, Brown Cottage
suggested that other school districts
be brought to this centre. He told the
advantages of school consolidation, in
cluding larger faculty and better school
program. He said Middletown had 81
high school pupils last year and has
SIS this year.
E. s. Jones, describing the Middle
town schoolhouse, stated it was built
% years ago for few scholars and now
is crowded by 3l5 students. He declared
its sanitation and ventilation are bad.
Saying the future of the State and ma
tion depends on the quality of citizen
ship, he advocated putting the best
safeguards around children.
Miss Marie Lockwood said Delaware's
health conditions are alarming and its
death rate is high. She stated tuber-
oulosis is prevalent and 21 TO 10 per
cent of the children are sub-normal. She
held that if school buildings contribute
greatly TO tuberculosis Delaware should
have the best schoolhouses the State
could afford.
Olin F. knight, principal Of the Middle
town school, exhibited stereoptican views
of the antiquated schoolhouse, originally
an academy, showing its crowded class
rooms, low ceilings and defective sani-
tation and ventilation.
''Where are the fire escapes7" woman
asked.
"The stairways are the only FIRE es-
capes," the principal replied.
Mr., Mcknight pleaded for new
schoolhouse for Middletown.
NEW BUILDINGS NEEDED.

New Castle County Board of Education,
said it realizes the need of modern school
houses and equipment in various parts
of the county, but could not spend q

Coblenz, Nov. 25.-Sergeant Guyon

The British Tommies nearby standing

Guyon's reply: "Oh, pretty well King,

The King laughed and addressing one
of his aides said: ''See to it that these men
