Small Costumes Patterned After

Clothes Prove Charming for
the Little Folks,

Dresses and coats are no less smart
these days for being caught while they
are young. You see, observes fash
ION writer, small costumes pattern
after large ones and 50, of course, they
are smart.
Autumn costumes for grown-ups are
very much plated, plaided and EN-
brOidered. hence small clothes must
follow suit. When these various styles
are tittingly adapted to the needs of
little people the effect is nothing short
Of charming.
How do you like the clever adapta-
ton Of the eton jacket and the plated
skirt?
Here there is wonderful Opportu-
nifty for using bright colOrs. since the
skirt may be made Of Roman stripe
or plaid material. Suppose you use Il
red wooden for the little jacket and
striped red and brown for the skirt ?
The collar and cuffs may be made Of
plain white Organtlie or batiste and
hasted to the frock so that they may
be easily removed for washing. A
single large smOked-pearl button
should be used to fasten the jacket in
front.
Perhaps you would prefer dress
which takes it's color from the autumn
woods. as they appear in the earlier
season, you know. Just when the leaves
change their color. Make the jacket
Of duh green and the skirt of plaid or
striped material in which there ia
much brown. green and red.
Among the materials you have a
choice Of serge. gabar1ine, jersey cloth,
duvetyn, twill or flannel.
Let us say you use Orange-cOlOret,
duvetyn for the top and n plaid In
which there is much orange and brown
for the skirt. 4 lapel is placed on the

REPUBLICANS SEE
NO NECESSITY FOR
SPECIAL SESSION
Governor Townsend Said to be OF
Opinion Present Election
Boards Are Sufficient.
BUT VOTERS MUST
GO EARLY TO POLLS

According 70 a statement made today by
Charles Warner, Republican State chair,
man, the likelihood of Governor iownsend
calling a one-day special session oi the
Legislature, for the purpose OF arranging
TO increase and add to the election ma
chinerv, so that the voters OF tins state
NAV all be able to vote on election DAY,
appears very slight. From other sources,
it is said the governor has definitely dc
cided not to call any such session, al
though in his letter 10 Henry X. lsaacs,
Democratic State chairman, MIR. Town
send told Mr.. Isaacs that he still had the
matter under consideration.
MIR. Warner said that he had taken the
matter up with the governor and had
learned that Mr. Townsend had made a
thorough investigation of conditions IN
those districts where there are so many
persons registered, that the Democratic
State Committee believed that not all
could vote under the present Delaware
machinery. unless other arrangements
were made.
AS a result Of this canvass, the governor
and his advisers, according to MIR. Warner
were satisfied that there was no occasion
for any alarm or apprehension IN regard
to voters not being able To vote on cleo
ton day. On the last registration day, the
election boards in some districts, he said
had registered five and six hundred per
sons. and as they could vote them much
faster than they could register them, that
the governor did not believe it was necess-
sarv to call any special legislative session
in order to arrange for other election
machinery.
From MIR. Warmers understanding oi
the situation, the responsibility VIII os
nut up to the members OF the election
boards. If the men and women registered
do not vote. the onus Will be on the cleo
ton boards to a certain extent. Iht
boards will be authorized by some one tt
nlan for additional booths so that severa
more persons than the customary number
NAV be preparing their ballots at thu
same time. and with swift election clerks
the work Of votirg, the Republican lead
ers believe, can be taken care OF without
, anv additional legislation. Furthermore
/ the governors advisers have told hun
| that If the voters come TO vote earl,

not be anv trouble. If the voter delay
