" VERY woman with a matronly
~ figure needs one simple all
around dress of pretty print
that she can wear for all oc-
casions. The frock shown is
a model that will fatter all ages.
The skirt Is cut with high and be-
coming waistline. the type that re-
moves bulk from the waist and by a
center front seam achieves a grace
fully fared hemline.
The sleeves show an important
trend. Softly shirred and siashed,
they finish off with narrow bands
pushed up to whatever angle is be-
coming. Cut-outs for decoration are
a trimming detail that is observed in
most of the new semi-dresSy clothes.
In printed frocks when the skin shows
through, they introduce festive note
even in models that are conventional
otherwise.
The popularity of prints is just be-
ginning. Dark backgrounds are tre-
mendously important for Spring day
time wear. Later in the season light
grounds will appear, with multi
colored blossoms sprinkled over them.
Geometric motifs, cravat designs and
dotted themes on dark grounds are

the time by undermining their cor
pOratlon laws so thar the advan-
tages offered by the Delaware laws
are no longer able by themselves TO
bring new corporations here for

He explained about 1900 cOrpOr-

over three years and that the

Mr.. Ward said one Of the largest
corporation trust companies In the
State would have to move else
where instead OF maintaining Its
principal Offices here, he said.
Delaware has a valuable asset in
its corporation business which pro-
duces revenue equal to $50 for every
family in the State annually and
IL should not be tampered with. He
said If the school board cannot get
along on the revenue now at its
disposal he believed 1t need more

be a fatal blow to the corporation
