TO THE Spring
SUIT STORY
Masculine Mode Vies With
Feminine for First
Place

1t looks as il the battle were ON!
Masulinity versus Femininity in "a
brilliant spring season. And il looks
as If the outcome is bound TO be a
dIaw. The tailored type of woman
viii choose the mannish suit: the
feminine type will naturally lean to-
ward the softer type of suit. The im-
pOrtaDt thing is that this is one
spring when every woman can be
happily and properly suited.
-Four Types
In the spring suit story. there are
four chapters - The mannish suit,
the big sleeve suit. the cape suit
and the swagger suit And there are
many versions of each Of these
types
The Mannish Mode
Let's look first at the mannisb
suit, the joy Of the tailored woman.
Man tailored, so they are bound to
fit the sleek way that women have
always envied in mems clothes.
Fashioned of mems suitings and of
excellent twills. Sometimes they are
seen in compose fabrics: the jacket
Of solid color, the skirt in harmon
izing stripe effect. The double
breasted style is just as smart as,
the single-breasted, and in many of
them, shoulders are padded to give
that broad look that makes waists

sometimes set on in cartridge pleats.
Capes are News
Capcs are creating bit of good
news where coats are concerned,

nevertheless pulfcd, Sometimes The
sleeves are set on in cartridge
pleats which accentuates their big

cidcdly youthful in both double and
single breasted styles, ....
Capcs Important
Women Aaye taken. tho cape so
much into their wardrobe that there
can be no question about the accept
ance of the cape suit. II is seen in
many versions and goes to many
lengths. There are sports dresses
with separate threc-quartcr length
canes; there are suits consisting of
skirt. packet, and separate cape, in
long, three-quarler or hip length.
Then there is the skirt with its own
cape in either of the three accepted
lengths. One of the grand things
about the cape suit is that you can
wear the cape separately with other
dresses or skirts. and so just about
double your wardrobe. ...,..
New Swagger Length
And ;aen the new short swagger
suit, a rollOw-up of last. years fav-
oritc suit fashion. But this length
is so distinctly new, it is decidedly
1898.
Of the Importance of the suit for
spring, there can be no doubt. The
appearance of suits have marked
the opening Of spring for many sea-
sons, and 1888 will be no exception.
But there is distinct newness in ey-
cry 1893 suit. And one of the most
important features is their weara--
bility.
Many of the suits are fashioned
to do double duty. In suits of COM
pose fabrics where the packet is OF
solid color and the skirt is har-
mOninizing stripe, many shops will
also include a skirt of the same
color as the jacket in your purchase
lit reality this gives you two suits
Then there is the topcoat suit that
serves 50 admirably on the first
days Of spring when sharp wind
is blowing. The topcoat with the two
piece suit makes a perfect ensemble
and it can also be worn separately
as a coat with any other garments.
Likewise, the twO-piece suit will be
smart on warmer
days when the topcoat is dOlfed.

definite chic. The acceptance of the
man-tailorcd suit is already in evil
dcncc wherever smart women gath
cr.
New Puff Sleeves
Then there is thc big sleeve suit
which presents fashion paradox.
II is mannish as to cut and tailor
ing, but the sleeves are as far re-
moved from nlasculinity as night

STATE SAFETY

Should Be Matter of Under

and Pedestrian
USE OF TRAFFIC SIGNALS

According to the Delaware
Safety Council, everyone at some
time rides in an automobile and
likewise everyone is at some time
a pedestrian. Hence, there should
be a matter of immediate under
standing between the two. How
ever, the opposite is usually the
case and the great traffic lesson
of the age, therefore, becomes the
lesson of the motorist-pedestrian
shift. It is a shift that must take
place Immediately, one that must
be done without wear and tear on
delicate mechanism, such as hui
man nerves and sensibiities. 1t is
a shift which nothing but the oil
of courtesy can smooth and 81
lence. This shift enables the mo-
torist to slip mentally into the
speed of a pedestrian and enables
the pedestrian at the same time to
shift his thinking into accord with
the motorists. Traffic signals are
installed not only to control We
hicles but to regulate pedestrian
movements. Accident reports in

NEW HOME FOR
MENTALLY Ill
Social Value of Almsh0use
Addition Tremendous, DR..
NJ. A. Tarumianz States
ESTIMATED COST 100000

Each individual suffering from
mental disease not having a
chance to obtain proper care and
treatment in the incipiency Of the
illness may become chronically i'll.
In which case, Delaware will be
burdened with the prolonged care
Of the mentally III individual at
the average cost of $4,000 per
capita. This was the crux Of the
social value statement made by
DR.. M. "a. Tarumianz, superin-
tendent Of the State Hospital at
Farnhurst to the Public Works
Board Of Delaware when as super
intendent Of the State Hospital,
he petitioned speedy emergency
grant from the federal govern
ment for modelling one-fourth of
the County Almshouse which has
been turned over to the State
Hospital.
Project Estimated to Cost 100000
The estimated cost of the pro-
ject is 100000 and Wednesday DIR.
Tarumianz received word that
the Public Works Administration
in Washington had granted the
hospital a gift of $4,000 as 30
per cent only of the cost of labor
and materials of the project. The
remainder of the cost will be
borne by a fund the trustees have
borrowed from their general ad-
ministration fund, by consent of
Governor Buck. The borrowed
money, it is expected, will be re-
placed later when it is hoped more
money will be received and bor-
rowed from the Federal govern
ment for a further remodelling de-
velopment of the State Hospital
building program. DR.. Tatrumianz
said Thursday that bids for the
remodeling of part of the Aims
house will be advertised for next
week. About 40 men will be given
employment for eight weeks. AT
present there is not vacant bee
in the State Hospital, DR.. Taru-
mainz explained, and to place
mentally i'll patients in sordid sur
roundings is not helping them II
any way, in spite of any recrea-
tionaI instruction they may re-
ceive part of the day. With the
remodelling of just one-fourth OF
the County Almshouse under the
100000 project, room will be made
for 90 more patients. The popu'
lation of the State Hospital to,
dav Is about 900. In 1880, it wa:
722 and if the increase of popula'
ton of the hospital continues a.
the same rate as in the past three
years, by the end of 1888, there
will be about 1000 patients in tht
hospital, DR.. Tarumianz estimates
When this particular 100000 pro
ject is completed, the first floor 0.
the Almshouse will be for femal'
patients of the better type. Th'
second floor will be receiving
ward for acute female cases; ani
the third floor receiving ware
for acute male cases.

PROBES WALL ST
Big Bankers Seen as Coming
Under a More Rigid
Investigation
SENATE COMMITTEE AID

New York.-An epidemic of 1it-
ters is sweeping Wall Street finan-
cial district.
The impression prevails that the
government is after" big bankers
and nobody knows where the light
ming is going to strike next. Some
of the leading figures of the profess
sion have already been knocked
from their pedestals by preliminary
bolts. A federal grand jury is prob
ing into the situation with might
and main-presumably on orders d.
rect from Washington. The scope
of the senate inquiry is being ex-
tended, with particular attention to
private bankers and their part In
the fiotatiOn of securities" Oftclals
and books of some of the biggest
houses of the street have been sub
poenaed for examination.
President Roosevelt has ordered a
general cleanup of the situation and
is determined that nobody be
spared if he is guilty"
1t has been many day since the
country's hitherto all-powerful inan-
cial barons have trembled so in their
boots.
Noted Banker indicted.
The opening gun of the cleanup
campaign" one important phase OF
which is aimed at the modern bank
practice of reckless speculation
with other peoples money" was
fred with the arrest of Joseph w.
Hartman. chairman of the board
Of the Hartman National Bank and
Trust company, one of the best
known-although not the biggest by
any means-banks of the city. Har-
riman. later indicted on fourteen
separate charges of making false
entries in the banks books while he
was president of the institution,
was arrested and arraigned as he
lay i'll in bed in his home. ''Irregu-
larities' involved in the specific
charges footed up to a total OF
| S1,713.225. The accounts of IA de-
positors were found to have been
/ juggled-allegedly by the bank
/ president.
The Hartman bank was the only
one of major Importance in the city
which did not reopen after the
March banking holiday.
Another Banker in Hot Water.
Still another "big league" banker
in hot water with the government Is
