Milford, Friday, May z, 1887

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY has
been called in Special Session by
Governor McMullen to enact two inn
portant pieces of legislation which
through error were left without
passage at the, regular session which
closed recently. At conference
between the Governor and members
of both branches of the General AS
sembly on Tuesday a gentleman's
agreement was reached to confine
the business of the session to these
two bills only. This should insure
a quick one day session.
Both bills apply to the school sys-
TEN of the State. The first. and
most important, is the general ap-
preparation bill amounting to about
S7,OO0,00O for the financing OF the
schools during the next biennium.
This measure originally passed the
House with a House Amendment.
When it reached the Senate, Sen
ate Amendment providing for full
restoration of teachers pay was
adopted and the measure sent back
to the House. From that time on /
there is no record of the bill having !
been approved or acted upon by the
House. 1t was this error of omission |
that has made it necessary to call
back the members of the General
Assembly to correct an unintentional
error.
The second bill to be adopted is
to correct an error which has ap-
peared i'm a measure already adopt
ed. Under the bill as passed monies
are provided for the payment of GER
tain expenses incident to the opera
tion and maintenance of the Univer- |
sity of Delaware and the Colored
College. The money is to be paid
direct from the school fund. For
several years past. the money has
been transferred to the General Fund
and payment is made therefrom.
While the intent is CLEAR is to
simplify the bookkeeping incident
to the transaction that the new bill
will be offered

and together they give the essential
feminine look to the most tailored

SILHOUETTE TRENDS
FOR EVENING DRESS
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Outside of that the pencil-slim
Directoire with it's high slit skirt
and the revival of the Empress Eu-
genia, there is definite tendency
in many houses to a Spanish type
of dress. This is usually marked
by founce ruffles. And one must
not forget the gently widened skirt
as evidenced also in the afternoon
clothes. The most startling bit of
material used in this has been the
placing of various types of lace over
lame to give the firmness and stiff
ness required. One more skirt
and the silhouette can be settled.
That is the short front. This varies
from the graduation effect to those
cut off clear to the knees in front
to show a filny petticoat of ruffled
net. A cross between this and the
Directoire are skirts which are cut
away like mans coat, to the knees
and then come down to the ground
at either side seam.

DAYTIME Footwear for Fall
Loses Rugged Sporty Look

Most daytime shoes have lost the
rugged, sporty look that formerly
characterized the appropriate foot
wear for tailored suits. Smart, soft
toed models, many of them made
with elastic insets and cores, mould
the foot trinity. Others, constructed
entirely of elastic leather, insure a
streamlined silhouette, unmarried by
Gaping sides or fastenings that
protrude.
These snug, form-ftting styles are
as easy on the feet as bedroom
slippers, partly because of their
construction and partly because of
their comfortable walking height

terials or built up of little uncov-
cred layers that are nick-proof and

Battle of Kites

Japanese kites are flown by
groups of boys in Japan in compe-
titions, or 'kite battles" All sorts
of decorative kites are made, light
but quite strong, with special lines
treated with ground glass and glue
mixture which makes them very
sharp. In battle, the idea is to
see who can maneuver his string
against the string of another kite,
cutting it so that it will fall to the
ground. The boy who causes the
most kites to fall wins.

Roughness of Great Oceans

The Pacific ocean is less subject
to storms than the Atlantic. This
is due to various reasons, partly on
account of its great extent and part
ly because there is no wide open
ing to the Arctic region. The nor
NAL wind circulation is on the whole
less modified in the North Pacific
than in the Atlantic. The trade
winds are generally weaker and

MISS COLLEGE GIRL, Miss
lVl Debutante and matrons young
and not so young who being active
in social affairs need must "dress
up to occasion, here's telling you
how to economically acquire that
air of elegance which fashion de-
mands for this fall and winter. No
matter how ungenerous your
clothes allowance may happen to
be you can have whole collection
of lace "pretties" such as the
sketches here show at comparative
ly trifing cost. In fact the idea
that prompts this illustration, to-
gether with its story, is to give you
pointers on dressing smartly and
handsomely on a limited allowance.
A touch of lace will do it! Trans
form your simplest demure and I'M
pretentious gown into costume of
distinction. And now that we've
told you, the first step is either to
let your favorite dressmaker in on
the secret (show her tn e
sketches) or perhaps you prefer to
thriftily adopt the make it your
self" course of action. Not that you
have to be an expert with the nee
die, for, provided with carefully Sc
lected patterns, there is no reason
why, if you can sew even little
bit, that you should not successfully
copy these charming fantasies. No
matter how many you make OF
these lovely lace items you can't
ever have too many.
Here's a word of friendly advice:
don't stint in getting the best type
laces for the finer and more ex-
quisite the lace you use in making
these dainty fashions the lntre con-
clusively will they carry message
of high-style prestige.
If you are clever and have a
knack of your own a pattern will not
be necessary for the cape for it is
cut along simple circular lines.
However, a pattern similar to the
model. shown should be easily avail
able. It has little tailored epaulet
effects on the shoulders and cum

Worthy of Friendship

love, and give me love-" was
the daily prayer of loyal
heart that had learned the sa-
credness of human ties. Many
a lonely one, complaining of
neglect and isolation would find
life's w h o e environment
changed by learning humbly
and sincerely to pray that
prayer. Friendship, to abide,
must find a worthy resting

No one can demand either as a
right. The heart that is ten
