ton as road supervisor for Brandy
wine hundred. but Clerk McIvor. who
sent a copy of the resolution by regis
tered mail, has a receipt given by
Perkins when the letter was delivered
to him.
Some members of the Levy Court
say the request for Perkins resigna-
ton is equivalent TO discontinuance
of his services, but others state he still
is a road supervisor. The latter de-
clare the finance committee, composed
of Commissioners Ball, Jones and
Strahorn, will approve Perkins bills
and the court, therefore, must pay
them. What attitude Comptroller
James G. Shaw will take is not known.
Perkins is not on New Castle county's
regular payroll. He is compensated
for each day of actual service and is
paid from Brandywine hundreds s

NEW HATS BRING PROMISE. OF SPRING. Edith Buts

TT HAS been said that when a truly
healthy young woman loses her
appetite she is really in or in love.
Thaye no evidence to substantiate
this statement, but do believe that
when girl or woman fails to be in
terested in the new hats there is
certainly something radically wrong
with her.
Interest in new hats is not only
perfectly natural quality of the femi-
nine mind, but it is besides a very
desirable one, for this interest stimu-
lates many other interests, and in

The sailor shape of fabric develop

today is a type of sailor hat very
desirable for the woman no longer q
