STYLES F7T THE OCCASIONS


Have you ever known the woman
who had whole wardrobe of charm
ing clothes and yet shadn't thing to
wear?
That woman is the one not to imi-
tate when selecting clothes for any
season. She just picked her frocks,
hats and accessories helter-skelter
without thinking of the use to which
they would be put, or what should go
with them to perfect costume.
Suitability is the keynote to the art
of being well-dressed. In selecting
spring clothes the occasions upon
which they will be worn should be kept
in mind. Every spring wardrobe
should contain coat to wear over
Jersey or silk dresses, of course. That
is necessity.
Smart Street Costume
But almost as imperative is the
smart street costume, be it either a
sports model or a trim, semi-tailored
dress which, worn with matching hat,
spells simple chic. Just a dress or
suit is not enough. The accessories
of street costume make or break it.
In figuring the cost of street attire,
the hat, gloves, shoes, hosiery and
flower ornament or fur neckpiece
should be calculated also.
Browns and tan tone into perfect
symphony in the sports model illus
trated here. Novelty tan tweed with
fleck of brown makes the knife
pleated skirt and the loose box coat.
Calf-skin, with the brown, tan and
white fur outside, fashions the loose
cuffs, the long reveres and the flat
pocketbook that matches the cos
tune. Light tan Jersey with band
ings of brown silk is used for the
jumper and the chic hat with its
turned-up brim and pleated crown is |
tan felt.
Range of Color
Other sports models include tre-
mendous range of color combinations |
and materials. Tweed and Jersey are |
the most popular materials.
Sleeveless jackets of tweed divide |
honors with the regulation sports |
coats. No sports ensemble is just one
tone, though. IF gray is the color
chosen, it is accentuated by darker /
gray landings or even a startling col
or, such as purple.
Sports wear is the one place this |
spring where color combinations are
smarter than black and white.

AT HAS HAPPENED:

! WHAT HAS HAPPENED:
Phillip Wynne Tracy " was born
the night his father was killed while
returning from notorious road
house where he had been with
Sabra Wexford. a young woman for
whom he had been neglecting his
wife, Anne Huntington Tracy.
Anne thinks that her husbands
death has been sent upon her be-
, cause she never wanted her baby
and when her son was born, in her
remorse, she determined to devote
her life to her child, who brings to
her with his birth the inevitable
mother love.
Phillip Wynne Tracy " has play
ed internationally with Malice Jones.
the daughter of the Tracys milk
man. all through his childhood. His
mother has noted with pleasure,
however. that lately Phillip has ap-
parently forgotten Malice entirely.
To her surprise, he brings the girl
10 her house on his first trip in
his new roadster. Obtaining $40
from his mother, he drives off to a
gay restaurant. His mother asks
Phil to be home early for she is
vaguely disturbed by a curiously
avid expression in Natlee's blue eyes
and by her aggressively pointed
chin.
Wondering more than ever what
the years will bring to her son,
Mrs. Tracy sits down to her soil
tary coffee and sandwich.
Here the story further unfolds:
CHAPTER II
ANOTHER NIGHT OF ANXIETY
FOR ANNE TRACY
After Phil and Malice were out of
sight, Anne Tracy let her mind stray
back to the birth Of her son.
1t had been some time since she
had really thought much about the
events Of that night. Many years
had elapsed since her husbands
death and the birth OF her boy had
come back to her with such poig-
nant emotions.
She fel. as though she had never
been very happy and tonight all her
troubles seemed duplicating them
selves.
Involuntarily she looked IN the
glass and smiled as she told herself
that she was not living ONE thing
over again-she certainly was not
as ugly as she was that other night
when her husband left her for a
fairer woman. Her son had often
told her she was better looking
than any OF the mothers Of his
friends.
She was deserted just the same
now. The son OF the man who had
forgotten her In the past had to-
right forgotten that she had ex-
pected to go out to dinner with him
and had left happy and unconscious
with younger doll OF a girl
She went into her bedroom. re-
moved her dinner dress and put on
a negligee. 1t was pink and made
her think Of that peach-colored robe
she had worn one night more than
1, years ago. She wondered idly
what had become Of that gown, as
she only hal a remembrance of
tearing it off her body and throwing
it down upon the floor. She had
never seen it since.
She went to her mirror to look
again and see If she really was
good to look at 1t was the first time
since her boy was born that she
had really taken account of herself.
She had always groomcd herself
we'll and worn good clothes because
dainty women did this almost I'M

upon to make a fetish of such thing
they were just part Of her, tina
was all.
Tonight she scrutinized hersel
carefully and with sigh OF salts
faction she said: why. / am beau
tiful."
Il am still young enough to know
romance in life." she confided to hei
mirror.
You vowed to devote yourself tt
your boy the night he was born,
the mirror seemed to say severely
But my son does not want me
. Don't you know that he has cast me
off this very evening for another
With this Anne Tracy turned
away from the glass abruptly. "You
are a silly cowardly spineless
thing" she accused herself. you
act like a child just because your
! son has gone to a dance and to eat
with a pretty girl. OF course, he
wants to be with those of his own
age Do you have to be little and
mean as we'll as jealous Of Malice
Jones? Your son will probably have
a dozen sweethearts before he mar
ries. Natlee is only childhood play
mate. Why, they both rode on the
front of her fathers milk wagons.
For heavens sake. don't indulge
in self pity. You have done that for
too many years. You ought TO
know by this time that 1t Is the
most destructive thing in all the
world"
But Notwithstanding her sneer at
herself, Anne Tracy could not help
INDUCING in little heart burning
because OF her loneliness.
To shake out OF her mind all I'M
happy thoughts she determined to
read. She picked up a volume that
had been recommended to her by a
friend who told her that the hero
of the story made her think of Phil.
But even that interesting coinci-
dent could not hold her attention for
long. Her mind kept Wandering.
She wondered if she had not been
TOO indulgent with Phil, perhaps
she should not have given him the
car. She would never forgive her
self if he had an accident.
She got up, threw the book on
the table. She could not read and
it was useless to say that she must
not worry.
She told herself that Phil was
over II years old and that in his
own mind he probably thought him
self man and she reminded her
self that it was not any part of her
plan TO keep him tied to her apron
strings. And then she asked herself
was it her fear Of his physical hurt
that worried her so greatly and rhe
was honest enough to acknowledge
that she wished he had not taken
Malice Jones with him. She didn't
want her son to fall in love with
the daughter of her milkman.
II must invite some nice girls
over-or better still, I will invite
them TO a thcatcr party and a fox
trot aftcrward at one of the cafes"
she told herself.
Mice" Why was it that different
words seemed to pop out at her
every little while? What did she
mean by mice" girls? Surely Nat
lee Jones was mice" girl. If one
used nice in moral sense.
The whole thing was that She
Anne Tracy. was afraid of Natlec
Jones. She had seen tonight that
this slip of a girl could influence
her son moro than his mother. for
Malice had not scrupled to tell her
so when she had sweetly offered to
stay away from the Arrowhead Inn

It was two or three days before
Peter RABBIT ventured into the
Green Forest. Then curiosity over
came fear. The mystery regarding
old Man Coyote had been growing
greater all the time. Nearly every
body whom Peter met had heard
Old Man Coyote yelping in two
places at the same time-or thought
they had. Nobody could understand
it. Old Man Coyotes voice would
lie heard from the old Pasture and
then almost at one" would come
that same queer sound from over
in the edge OF the Green Forest. No
wonder the little people were fright
cned.

any one from the Green Forest and
he wanted to know how things We're
over there. 50 at last he muster

Young Fishes Hatched
in Mouth of Mother

The female of a small fresh-water
fish found in Egypt, known as the
mouth-breeder. protects her eggs by
carrying them in her mouth, where
they remain until the young ones
hatch out; but the habits of some OF
the perch-like fish called cichlids are
even more remarkable, for not only
do the females take their eggs into
their mouths, but they also carry
their young ones within this strange
shelter. The fry do not leave their
nursery until they are about a fort
night old, but the mother eventually
liberates them from their somewhat
confined quarters and allows them to
swim about outside. They do not ven
ture far, however, keeping quite close
to their parents head, and darting

what was the reason for his anger at
The trader who achieved opulence. and
Johnson replied:
why, sir, the reason is, though do
not undertake to prove that is a rea-
son, We see no qualities in trade that
should entitle such a man to superb
orlty. We are not angry at a soldiers
getting riches, because we see that he
possesses qualities which we have not

but we cannot think that a fellow sit
ting all day at desk is entitled to
get above u.s."
But" replied Boswell, may we not
suppose merchant to be a man Of an
enlarged mind. such as Addison in the
Spectator describes Sir Andrew Free
port to have been?"
why. sir Quoth Johnson, I'VE may
suppose any fictitious character. We
may suppose a philosophical day Ia
borer, who is happy in rejecting that,
by his labor, he contributes to the fer
tility of the earth and the support of
his fellow creatures, but we find ~
such philosophical day laborer. a

SEN. HERVEY P. HALL, SMYRNA
HOLDS FLOOR SENATE z HOURS
CONDUCTS A FTLIBUSTER IN HIS
FIGHT FOR WHARF AT LEIPSIC

Little Creek Seeking $1,000 for Road
and Wharf Caused Senator Hall to
Ask for Wharf at Leipsic, Too
A filibuster started about noon on
Wednesday in the Senate by Senator
Hervey P. Hall of Smyrna, in refer
ence to the bill which would appro-
pirate $4,000 for a wharf and road at
Little Creek, kept the Senate in ses-
sion until o'clock Wednesday after
noon, when consideration of the school
building program bill which had been
scheduled as special order of bust
ness, called a halt on Senator Halls
speech, and he was obliged to give
way for this special order of business.
Senator Hall sought to have part of
the money diverted for a wharf at
Leipsic. His amendment failed, and
then he started his filibuster against
action on the original bill Motions
to adjourn were voted down as fast
as they were made, and until 2 o'clock
Senator Hall still had the floor. Sen
ator Steele was presiding at the time
and he sustained the contention of
Senator Hall that his privilege to the
floor was valid. Motions to recess.
then to adjourn until the afternoon,
then to adjourn until Thursday and
finally to adjourn forever were voted
down as fast as they were made.
Senator Kramer sought to have the
sergeant-at-arms instructed to bring
in lunch for the members but failed.
Members We're busy digging into Rob-
erts' rules of order and Cushing's
manual of parliamentary procedure
and their own rule book to find way
to shut off Senator Hall but all failed.
When the Senators started to leave
the room Senator Steele sent the SER
geant-at-arms after them and the lat
ter brought them back Some were
clever enough to hide and later slip
ped out to get their lunch Having
exhausted his newspaper Senator Hall
took up a book on highway travel as
in reserve he was holding the journal
of the Senate of two years ago which
he intends to read when the book he
IS now using is finished. He is fill
clustering against the David bill on
the ground that it appropriates money
for the little creek wharf which the
Legislature has no right to appropri-
ate. At 2 O'Clock Senator Hall had
been talking for more than two hours
in his filibuster against the Little
Creek wharf bill This is the first
filibuster conducted in a Delaware
Legislature since 1905. The Senate
had for special order of business at
2 o'clock the school building program
bill and Senator Hall yielded the floor
temporarily to take up consideration
of this measure. He stopped to eat
sandwich which one of the Senate
officials had brought in to him. Other
members had sent out for sandwiches
which they ate at their desks.
1t developed later that under par
liamentary rules Senator Halls fill
buster automatically ended at 2
o'clock, but the bill, still on the cal
endar for final consideration, was
passed Thursday morning.
