of the Chronicle; as State
Auditor; earnest advocate
and promoter of the cause of
education and his untiring eff
forts in behalf of the Nation
al Guard of the state, he was
known all over the Delmarva
Peninsula. In politics he was
an ardent Republican and his
counsel sought by leaders of
the party. His days of activ-
ity were full of achievement
in behalf of his home town
and state and he will be miss
ed. AS one of our exchanges

ought to be asked of every student.
The school is here for a purpose,

take and use all the knowledge
available.
Again, this Friday, comes the end
of another six weeks of this school

will be shown on their report cards

this. Note the bracelets worn over
the long black gloves.
For the evening gown of exclusive
mien, brocades in white with either
metal or color or both for the most
gorgeous types, are much sought after
by those who love the loveliest. Sill
vered white MORE also is a great IA
vorite in the realm of handsome eve
ming silks.
Leading designers are also turning
the spotlight on very exclusive look
ing silk prints, making them up in
jacket ensembles of utmost formality
in many instances. The gown Is fash
toned with extreme decolletage, the
skirt touching the floor. or the new
street length which is fashions latest
within for the dinner gown. Usually
the jacket is of the basque genre, va
ried now and then with smart bolero
model. Both printed taffeta ard print
ed crepe features for this new trend in
the formal realm.
In citing bestowed silks for the for
NAL gown, sleek, suave fiattering satin
must be mentioned. White satin Is
outstanding and pink comes next. For
the most part these regal satins are
made up with a sophisticated simplic-
ity that is very striking.
Then there are the lovely white silk
crepes and chiffons. Their high stand
ing in the array of lovely materials for
dresses to wear to formal functions is
unquestioned. Some white crepes are
starred with rhinestones. Others stand
for beauty unadorned. Sans trimming
of any sort they depend on a sparkling
Juliet cap and glittering evening bag
or jeweled belt plus elaborate san
dals for effect.

CHAPTER XII

There was something ludicrously in
congruous, and by the same token
the more horrifying, in the terms of
Marin Pierces challenge. That the
question of whether a man were guilty
of murder should hinge on whether
there were any fresh-dug worms in his
bait box had something hideous about
st; and yet what Marin Pierce said
was ingeniously true. If Bart had in
deed gone down Carey's brook this day
10 fish, as he asserted, then he must
have been supplied with bait. If he
had no worms, then his statement that
he intended to fish was lie; and his
other words were doubtless lies as
well. If Bart had no worms in his
bait box, then he lied; and If he lied.
