What's in Fashion?
Neck1Uear Cut High and Wide
-Drected BIZ AMOS PARRISH

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-AH the
IN girls are going to have white
collar jobs" this fall And what
profitable, effective jobs they'll be.
Those new starched white neck
pieces can change the character of
dress completely And at the
same time, they flatter the faces
above them.
You need that fattery this year
particularly, because the new high
necklines might bring a dark color
too near your face to be becoming.
A lingerie collar steps in with just
the white relief necessary.
And another tip. You can put
wide white collar on an old dress
and give it the oad-shouldered
look of this year
Cover the Shoulders
The neWst wide ones come away
out to the shoulders, and even cover
them in some cases, in cape effects.
And they often have a little, digni-
fed standing collar besides.
For those who can stand its prim-
ness, the new cloister collar is smart
This is like a nuns COLLAR a
broad circular one with a little
standing collar, fastening in the
back.
It's often made of softer ma
terial than a nuns =. crepe, or pos
sibly mousseline de sole.
If you's like to cover up the front
opening Of a dress, but can't wear
this clerical effect, pick one of the
new bibs.
They often have little turnover
collars, too but not such severely
outstanding ones as the CLOSER
types.
Small Types Smart
But your lingerie touch doesn't
have to be such wide expanse. 1t
can actually be a touch" A small,
close-f1tting collar, with a bow or
knotted effect. With matching
crisp white cuffs, this makes a slick
business getup.
And then, If you're going to DIN
ner after business, you can Whisk
off your tailored neckwear and put
on one of those quaint sheer NOUS
seine capelets. Or collar and cuffs
Of stiff starched lace.
This Starched lace is very versa
tile goes on wool as we'll as silk
and velvet.
OF course, as in the case of the
cloister collar, therell be some
styles that you can wear and some
you can't. And you'll need to study
the lines Of your face and neck to
know which belongs to you.
Have you written for our bulletin
What Higher Necklines Are Best
for Me?" The coupon will bring ii

WHO'S WHO OF
SENIOR CLASS
Introducing Ernest Webb

Beside these achievements Ernest
leads the boys section in tennis. He
plays a good hard game and he is
not so slow, so look out.
Ernest always claims several of
the honors at our County Field
Meet. He makes it hard for those
in the fifty-yard dash. The Senior
class thinks Ernest is a real good
chap. He is always ready to help
in any activities the class may de-
eide ON. When things seem a little
dull he comes forth with some
amusement which causes plenty of
fun. Ernest is very interested in
and other things associ.
ated with science. In fact he is
the scientific field. He
has not mapped out his future pro-
gram, but we are sure he will be a
great success in anything he under
takes.

made by Wilmington newspapers
during the period.
Merris Taylor, veteran editor of
the Every Evening, now at the Ma
sonic Home, Lancaster Pike, who is
80 years old, told of his 67 years
with Wilmington newspapers. He
said that his first position was with
the Delaware Gazette, which was
located at 416 Market street, where
he served as a printers devil. He
said that conditions then were much
different from present conditions.
There were no dailies between
Philadelphia and Baltimore at that
time He said that now Wilmington
has three fine daily papers. In the
early days of his newspaper career,
Mr.. Taylor said, there were no type
setting machines and presses were
slow moving affairs compared with
the presses of today. 81 have been
in newspaper offices for 67 years of
my life. l observed my 80th birth
day on December 10, last. 1 have
found that growing old is not so
hard, after all. There is sadness to
it. because of the loss of old friends.
Many of my former friends of the
Delaware press have passed on" He
said that it was a great pleasure to
attend the meeting, spoke highly of
the Masonic home and invited the
members of the association to visit
him.
After the presentation of the cane
Colonel Wickes thanked the mem
bers of the association and invited
them to visit him at Dover.
1t was decided at the meeting
that midsummer meeting would
be held this year. The time and
place is to be decided by the presi-
dent.
Other officers elected at the meet
ing were Fred G. Usilton, of Kent

dent; Mr.. Metten, secretary-treasur-
er.

Adult Education
Glasses Held Here
Sponsored BY State Bureau
Local Girls Study Art

All through the State of Delaware
there are q number of different
classes in varied subjects sponsor
ed by the State Bureau of Adult Ed
ucation whose purpose it is to bring
some form of education or Tecrea-
tion to the adults in the State.
There are classes in Music, Civic
Affairs, Parent Education, Book
keeping, Typing and Shorthand,
Public Speaking and various other
subjects which are of interest or
use to the grown ups in the State.
Only two people in town must
ask for a certain class before the
State will bring it there. Already,
however, the people are taking ad-
vantage of this wonderfully Oppor-
tunity and there are now a great
number of classes throughout the
State.
Milford of course has not allowed
the rest to get ahead of her. The
Business Girls Club requested an
Art class for our town, and the re-
suit - every Monday night in the
Community Building an Art class is
held under the supervision of Miss
Lemy Gardner, the State Art in
structor. It boasts eighteen mem
bers and will last for eight weeks.
Miss Gardner is teaching her pupils
how to make pottery now and
through this she teaches the prin-
ciples o fart-line, rhythm, proper
tion, balance and emphasis.
These classes were started about
five or six years ago in order to 60
away with illiteracy in the State.
Since then, of course, the field has
widened and recreational as we'll as
subjects are taught. At |
present there are also a number of |
classes for colored people and Mil
ford has one. of these. Miss Marga
ret H. Burnette is in charge of the
State Bureau and has already ac-
a great deal.

Weekly Papers And
Magazines PrOUide
Variety In Glasses

To study the accomplishments of
the past and the present while pre-
pairing for the future might be a
teachers definition of the aim of
his English or history class. Too
often, however, the stress seems to
have been on the dim, distant, and
very dead past instead of either
present or future. Accordingly many
a boy or girl would say, "All we
ever read about is dead people, so
what's the use?"
In order to combat this attitude,
two publications, a weekly paper
and a bi-weekly magazine-the Eng
lish Review and the Scholastic--are
being used in the Sophomore and
Junior English classes. The Eng
lish Review has been in use for
half a year and is either very much
liked or very much hated generally.
There, at least, is no Indifference to-
ward that subject. The Scholastic
which is just being introduced to
the Sophomores is more frivolous
both in appearance and content but
equally worthwhile.

SCHOOL NEWS

The Milford High School regrets
that Charles Breme is out of school
because of sickness. About a week
ago, he was put to bed with blood
poisoning, and Tuesday morning he
was taken to the Emergency Hospi-
tai. Charles is in the eighth grade
and is a very active student, not
only in his studies, but in athletics
and in music. We are sure the Mil
ford School Orchestra wishes he
would recover soon, so that he can
play his cornet in their orchestra.
During the tennis season, Charles
played some very spectacular games
with various boys. Well, Charles,

how to play basketball and base
ball.

Large State Maps
Placed In Rooms
Milford Slighted On Map

At the present time there is q
great deal of interest in the location
of places connected with local and
State history. In order to foster
this interest in pupils of Delaware
Schools, and to enable them to get
information, Delaware maps have
been obtained through Mr.. H. w.
Holloway and have been placed in
the Milford Schools. These maps are
five feet long and four and three
fourths feet wide; and twelve Of
them are, at the present time at
school, while six more are ordered.
Public schools, rivers, marshes,
ETC., are on the map. Small towns
are also located, even Cedar Beach.
At the side of the map are in
serts of some of the towns in Della
ware. The Milford pupils feel very
greatly sighted because of the
omittance of Milford. Could it be
that Georgetown and Seaford are Of
greater Importance and ranking
ahead" of Milford? Let's hope not!
These maps were made by the
Franklin Survey Company and are
proving to be great help to the
pupils of Milford.

CuILentOlUn A Myth
Mayor Mlnner Was Only Occupant
For Some Time

Somewhere in travelling on the du
Pont Boulevard just past the green
house, you will come to a dusty lit
tie turn off at the left. One house
now stands at the edge of the road
where formerly four had stood.
When Mr.. Potter, wealthy old man
died, he left to the poor of Kent
county, a large grant of land. This
particular piece he left in charge of
a Mr.. Cullen who built four houses
on the grant, thus Cullentown. At
the time the first houses were built,
slaves and poor white trash" Oc-
cupied the houses, two families
crowding into a house. Then all the
houses were vacated for some rea-
son or other; and John Minner, a
truck farmer, and his cooke were
the only occupants of Cullentown.
Through Milford our old gardener
would go calling out his vegetables;
always with a conspicuous red ban
danna tied round his neck-as a
way of advertisement. One of his
special callings was music. At any
of the political meetings or func-
tions when a band might be pres
ent, his was a familiar figure act
ing as drum major.
Because he was the only one liv-
ing at Cullentown, he moved
around in the four different houses
any time he chose to do so.
Politically he was a Democrat. If
one should ask: "Well, Mayor, how
did Cullentown go in the elections?"
"Cullentown went Democratic
this time" he would answer.

MIR. McGinnis Makes Rather Safe
Offer

We are glad to have Kitty Gle

1t is a relief to know that our mid
year exams are over, but wait till

Mr.. McGinnis promised that he
would give our class a turkey din
ner if everyone in our class would
pass. OF course we were trying
hard to get it, but we didn't.
On Thursday morning when we
went into Science class Agnes Jes-
ter said: "Mr. McGinnis, we won't
even get to see the flesh of a tur-
key, let alone a turkey dinner"
The girls in Home Economics are
their slips.
The boys in Manual Training are
Boy Scout emblems.
Our Civics teacher, Mrs. Nemish,
was not with us for Civics class for
a few days.
We are studying about the south
ern states in our geography work
and they are very interesting states
to study about.
