PAPER DELAYS DIRECTORY
Telephone Superintendent Explains
Backwardness in Issue.

Many complaints have been regis
tered in the office of the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company be
cause of the non-appearance of the
telephone directory March 1. Many
subscribers to the phone service in
the last six months. since the last di-
rectory was issued, have had much
difficulty and delay in receiving CALI;
due to the non-registry of telephone

c. I. Clagett, superintendent of the
reason for the lack of telephone
directory at the usual intervals was
that the company had been caught in
the shortage of news print paper and
that it had been physically impossible
to print the book. which would or

first of March.

BY .ELOISE.

The separate skirt and blouse are
leading all other styles for summer
wear At least. at present they are
in the lead. Another month may
find the one-piece frock back again.
but even SO the separate skirt and
blouse will have prominent place.
The blousette is really the newest
thing if one would believe the shop
keepers. The blouse is old fash
Toned and thing of yesterday or a
minute ago, at any rate. but the
blousette is something new and oh,
so very fashionable. The blousette.
in case you are bewildered by the
term, is nothing more or less than
the new blouse, which is short
sleeved, low neck and to the waist
line. and is worn outside the skirt,
in fact it is so short that there is
nothing to tuck in.
Here is the newest costume for
summer wear, a blousette of silk
and a sports skirt also of silk. The
blousette is of plain blue material.
but the skirt is oyster color with
block design in two shades of blue,
one dark and one light. to match
the blouse. The skirt is a plain
pleated model suitable for wear
with many different blouses. The
blouse is rather oriental in effect,
for it is embroidered in wool in
novel Japanese like design and is
trimmed with tassels which are al
ways a hint Of the far east. The
costume as whole is all that may
be desired for cool summer wear.
