The bertha, very pronounced
feature of present-day dress, might
be said to be an outcome of the
cape, for it is, after all, form of
shoulder cape. So the cape and
the bertha are two of the strongest
features in the new clothes.
The draped dress for daytime
wear has not been as successful as
its sponsors hoped. Women were
unwilling to forsake the youthful
and comfortable straightline dress
for one which, while having more
dignity, tended to make them look
older. Dressmakers find that the
larger part of their business is on
the straightline frock. So they have
come to the conclusion that it is not
worth while to endeavor to force
other types.
A White Georgette Kerehief
Women evidently have ceased to
be slaves to fashion. They have
so cultivated their taste in dress
that they very definitely know what
they want and Immediately they
placed the draped frock in its prop
er place; that is, as an evening
dress.
Women were willing to make a
compromise between the draped
dress and the chemise, in that they
adopted the wrapped-around type of
dress, a good example of which is
seen at the lower right of today's
sketch. This model, by Patou, is of
blue serge combined with coral col
ored wool barege. The blouse is of
the coral colored material, while the
cape and wrapped-around skirt are
of the blue serge edged with coral.
Jenny makes an unusual cape
costume which is sketched at the
lower left of this page. 1t consists
of a dress with a small shoulder
cape. 1t is of blue serge and has an
interesting sunburst pleating. The
cape is attached to a kerchief Of
white georgette crepe embroidered
-, ,,,,,,, b1,,o eo,,+oe1, braid Tho hplt
is made in the same manner-in
kerchief effect. The cuffs are Of
white georgette, edged with the blue
soutash braid.
The kerchief influence still pre-
walls in dress. The life of this
vogue is remarkably long consider
ing the fact that it was really al
most overdone.

cially in navy blue, a color and fab
ric now almost novelty owing to
the fact that it has been completely
demode for a number of seasons
that is to say, since the beginning of
the vogue for black. The fact that
the blue serge costume is the thing
is bit of fashion news of great in
terest to every woman. Silk crepes
are still important, and, as every
body knows, the printed crepes have
become a decided craze.
Basket serge also is much used.
A very interesting suit of this ma
terial is shown in today's sketch.
1t is by Pated and is embroidered in
wool of the same shade as the suit,
which is a soft brown. The en-
broidery is loose Japanese style.
Caracul fur is arranged on a roll

on the short jacket. The belt is fin

and slashed black leather.

Elementary number of charming

Colored Suede Jackets.
Lanvin, Patou, Worth and Molly
neux are among those who are plac-
ing special stress on the suede
jacket. The form of these little
jackets is drawn from tailored suits,
but the lines are somewhat looser.
The garment is usually of straight
cut, but swathes the hips, whereas
formerly the separate jacket was
drawn into a hip belt. This type is
now less frequently used.
Usually two shades of suede are
combined in the same jacket and al
ways they are of bright, contrasting
colors. Molyneux makes a some.

serge, as is also the cape. Bands
of finely tucked serge trim the cape
and skirt.
Suits are unusually interesting
this spring. A large number of
jackets are of the loose blousiny
type or short and straight. The lin
ings of the coats are very pleasing.
There are silks patterned in large
motifs somewhat in Batik effect.
These offer a change from the Per
sian printed silks in the fact that
the pattern is scattered over the
plain surface.
The majority of suit skirts are
either, plain and straight or of the
wrapped-around type. There is,
however, a great deal of talk about
the circular skirt. Many fashion
leaders believe that the time i
about ripe for the real circular
skirt; that is, the oldtime one, not
the skirt with the circular godet at
the sides, which gives the appear,
ance of the oldtime circular Skin;
but is really an imitation.
The tailored coat-dress is more ir
evidence than ever for the spring
season, but this, too, has taken unto
itself the cape. Many of them arc
made with detachable capes, and
this really makes a very disable cos
tune.
Among fabrics for early spring
sergcs are particularly good, espe

Navy Blue Serge for Spring

The cape is having a greater in
fluence on fashions for the coming
spring than it has had in any prev
ious season. This is saying great
deal for the cape, because its influ-
ence has been decidedly pronounced
for some time past. Then it has
been revived periodically and al
ways with great success. But never
before has it lent itself to so many
variations or has it influenced so
many parts of dress.
Apparently there is no end to its
variations as conceived by dress
makers. Short capes are placed at
the sides of coat to simulate
sleeves, with bits of cloth attached
at the bottom in the form of brace

view being shown. The cap
sketched with it is from Molyneu:;.
The original part of this is the ar
rangement of buckles over each
ear, with a little end of leather
hanging from each buckle which
gives the lines of an aviator's cap.
Then there is a MolyneVx blous-
ing jacket of white leather trimmed
with red suede. This is &C
companied by a close-fitting cap of
the white leather, with a ruche of
the two feathers around the crown
in the new line invented by Lanvin.
The third jacket, from Patou, is
of printed cloth with trimming OF
suede. A band going about the hips
forms pockets. The unusual look
ing cap shown with this is from
Baron. The crown is cut in sec
tons. The brim goes across the
back and front only and is turned
| back close to the crown.
These odd and original jackets
are likely to have a strong influence
on blouses and to bring about new
developments in novelty blouses. No
more are the blouse departments of
the shops able to do business on
staple lines and show only slight

Ribboned Novelties,


This is the year when womeI
may indulge their love of doll
without shame. Dolls for the adult
in the form of telephone covers AMI
lamp shades, are the fad Of til
hour.
For instance, there is the exquil
lite little porcelain doll which, wit
skirts spread into a circular fran|
about her, gracefully mounts
lamp shield. Her bodice is drapd
with nine inches Of double-face|
satin ribbon of six-inch widtl
Around the waist is gathered dod
BILE skirt which is made of one var
each of three-inch and four-ind
ribbon bound with gold lace. Pic
ribbon or any other ribbon may
used, depending upon the individu
taste. There are gracious ladi
similarly dressed, their bouffal
skirts of wide ribbon hiding IL
telephone from view.
Even the pin-cushion, which use
to present a surface peppered wi
pins, now is covered by a fragi
little body, who has seated herse
upon it with her skirts outsprea
The skirt in this case requires on
two yards of six-inch ribbon and t
cushion itself takes three yards
quarter-inch pleated ribbon for
ruffle to finish the sides.

compete with these new ones. Print
ed fabrics are important for the
jacket blouse. Every sort of print

metal cloth.
Prints will continue to be fea-
tured in all of the important spring
collections of blouses. There are
Egyptian prints in combinations
such as sandalwood and navy, with
the trimming carrying out one of
the shades. One interesting model
of this sort is trimmed with nav!
blue crepe de Chine in the form OF
an odd shaped collar with one long

makes the cuffs.

No fewer than thirty-nine gowns

Dainty morning dresses, luxuriant

filmy negligees and daring sport cos
tunes constitute her wardrobe in this
splendid production. Miss Ferguson
who has been termed the most beauti-
fully dressed woman on the screen,
considers this one of the most delight

have helped me in my Interpretation,
Miss Ferguson said, "just as they
helped Lizzie Parsons to lose her

NEW CASTLE LEVY COURT IN
DEADLOCK; MAY Be ABOLISHED
COUNTY ORGANIZATION HELD
IT'S LAST SESSION ON FRIDAY
New Levy Court Seems as Hopeless
of Results as Old-Republicans Talk
of Having Court Legislated Out

OF having COurt LegiSidIeu OuI
Members of the old Levy Court of |
New Castle County met in final ses-
sion, on Friday. Some accused each |
other of ingratitude in the matter of |
liberal allowances for automobile up
keep and other expenses, a subject |
that had made an open fight among |
the members for the last several meet |
ings. The court Tuesday refused to
pay bill of the Cannon Motor Co.,
amounting to $3.50, for making re-
pairs to car belonging to the County
Highway Department, which was dam
aged in a collision on the Causeway
when county officials were returning
from baseball game at Middletown
on August 21, 1921. Following this
session William E. Virden, an employe
of the County Highway Department,
who had been summoned before the
court to give details of the accident,
met Commissioner Jones in a corridor
of the Public Building, and wrangle
ensued. The new Levy Court met
yesterday and as was expected it
deadlocked on organization. Some Re-
publican leaders have come out openly
and are urging the abolition of the
New Castle County Levy Court. One
prominent party worker said that he
believes the Legislature will abolish
the body at it's coming session and he
limited that Republicans will aid in the
move, if it is attempted. With the
meeting yesterday for the Organiza-
tion of the new court, the members
are further away than ever from or
ganization. With the election of
Hamilton Stewart to the body it was
thought that there would be some
chance of the Republicans getting to-
gether, but it is doubtful now if this
will be done. AS it stands now Messrs.
Ball and Wright represent the Ball
faction of the Levy Court, while
Messrs. Stewart and Jones are not
considered as in that faction. These
two groups have made several efforts
to get together, but have failed in
their efforts. The Democratic mem
bers are Messrs. Buckson, Hart and
Truitt. During this year there was a
combination, with Frank Jones, Re-
publican, cooperating with the Dem
ocratic members of the court. There
was some talk that such a combina-
tion would be present in the new body
but it was stated that there is not
much prospect of the formation of a
combine.
