Eugene Is

Lovely French Empress

GECO EMPIRE-Em-
~ press Eugene. What do
these terms, which have re-
Gently become catchwords Of
fashion, mean to you?
One need not of course Be
a studnt of history to ap-
preciate the fine points of
fashion but it is well to bear
in mind that Eugene was the
Spanish-born wife Of Napo-
leon III, who was emperor Of
France during the eighteen
years between 1852 and 1870.
and that when we speak Of
Empress Eugene or Second
Empire fashions we refer to
certain styles of dress that
prevailed in France during
that period and that were to
some extent influenced by the
taste Of the charming En-
press.
Actually We are in no danger
whatever or goilr back TO the
widely ballooning skirts and
tightly laced waistlines that were
in favor during this period. Even
the hats which we speak OF quite
confidently as Empress Eugenie"
r pretty far removed from the
millinery of the earlier period. but
a suggestion of similarity Is there
and that IL enough 10 Justify the
name.
Empress Eugene undoubtedly
possessed unusually good taste in
matters OF dress and not infre-
quently defied accepted fashions
in her efforts TO have clothes OF
a more graceful. less elaborate
sort. When she became Empress
very elaborate and rich silk ma
terials were in fashion. shot tai

And while the Empress wore
these stih heavy materials in or
der TO favor the French silk In
dustry she was actually in favor
of lighter, softer fabrics-organ-
die. tarlatan, crepe, gauze, muslin
and barege.
During Eugenie's reign sleeves
and skirts were both of such enor-
nous proportions that coats were
out Of the question. with the
result that shawls came into IA
v6r as well as a variety OF man
tillas or half cloaks that might
be worn over the bouffant dress
without difficulty.
Little by little during the reign
of Eugene. fashions changed and

Even sweaters reflect the new
mode and are made with deeper

there is even talk now Of the
revival OF hat pins TO keep the
tilted hats from slipping off en-
tirely.
In view Of the new hat fashions
one thing is perfectly certain.
Skirts will remain long. There

into fashion and by 1867. three
years before the end OF Eugenie's
reign. the orinoline had finally
disappeared.
Handkerchiefs came in for
much attention during the early
days of Eugenie's reign and a

times cost as much as five hun

Bridal Wells

Some OF the loveliest brides Of
the summer have worn tulle wells
with a band Of lace along the edge
that frames the face. The veil IL
pulled down at each side Of the
face, over the ears, to form a sort
Of cap. And where II Is gathered
the orange blossoms are fast

Fine ribbed velvet Is used for
autumn street frocks. They are
made with deep-cut raglan
sleeves. And these sleeves are
comfortable. because they are
loose around the armhole-and
so a velvet dress is not as warm
as one might expect II TO be.

MEXICAN WEDDING
RULING UNHEEDED
Los Angeles Judge Insists
Hollywood Couple Soiourn-

~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, March 27.-Whether
American couples who went to Tia
.Juana, Lower California, to marry were
tightly bound, not welded at all or only
slightly married seemed to be question
here today.
Superior Judge Daley S. Stafford of
Los Angeles recently annulled the Tia
Juana marriage Of Helen H. Kulver and
Roy w. Kulver of Hollywood on the
ground they had not resided in the
Mexican state six months prior to the
ceremony.
Judge Stafford yesterday received q
telegram from Judge Rodrigo Logo Of
the Mexican Civil Court at Tia Juana
saying the Kulver marriage was legal
and that the only requirements for mar
r1age there were that the principals be
unattached and of legal age.
But the Los Angeles Judge would not
bulge from his position.
This makes the second unjustifable
decision in Los Angeles Superior Courts
on Tia Juana marriages" telegraphed
Judge Logo. Americans coming to Tia
sIuana to be welded are welcome"
G. Gakiolo Andrade, Mexican attor-
rey, testified here six months resi-
dence in Mexico was required and the
principals In a marriage must have been
known by the witnesses three years.

ALFALFA AND SWEET CLOVER

Two phases of work that County
Agent c. r. Snyder had in his 1881
program of work were campaigns in
alfalfa and sweet clover. These cam
paigns were started by former Coun-
ty Agent M. C. Vaughn in 1927 and
they have been in progress ever
sonce. The reason for the cOntinu-
ance of this work was that the ex-
tension service of the University of
Delaware felt the need of more le-
gumes in Sussex, both as a hay crop
and for the upbuilding of our soils.
Sussex County has about 391, 900
acres in farm lands and on the aver
age about IL per cent of this, or
$4,000 acres is in legumes such as
soybeans, cowpeas, alfalfa, sweet
clover and other clovers. This is
rather low average, but within the
last few years our legume acreage
has been slowly increasing especial
ly the alfalfa and sweet clover acre
age.
Each year for the last five years,
the county agent has made survey
among the seed dealers in order to
get an estimate as to the amount of
alfalfa and sweet clover seed sold
in the county. This year these deal
ers sold about $4,000 pounds of al
falfa seed, or enough to SOW $50
Milford chronicle., 1931-12-11

acres. Since 1927, the average year
ly sowing was 4Y5 acres per year.
In spite of economic conditions this
year, more alfalfa was sOwn than in
any year since this campaign was
started This, alone almost proves
that our farmers are realizing that
this legume is a good one to grow.
The amount of sweet clover sown
this year was not as large as last
years acreage. This is no doubt
due to the great increase in the SOW
ing of Sudan grass, which was used
by many farmers for an emergency
hay crop. According to the sweet
clover survey made our dealers sold
enough seed to sow $50 acres basing
our estimate on twenty pounds of
seed to the acre. During this five
year campaign on sweet clover,
total of 1910 acress were sown or
an average of 7S2 acres per year.
Under present conditions it may
be we'll for more of our farmers to
consider these two legumes in their
plans for next year, especially those
who are in need of hay and pastur-
age for their dairy cattle. Too much
cannot be said about the merits of
alfalfa for COWS, so begin to make
your plans for a few acres next year.
