LACE CURTAIN CAUGHT FIRE
Card Party is Thrown Into a Small
Panic.

A fire occurred at Mr.. Harry Stump
tons, 1912 South Emporia avenue. that
caused a great deal of excitement among
the guests who were gathered at the
card party Thursday night. The fire
companies were not called out, as one
or two cool heads put out the fire and
avoided small panic.
While the game was at its most inter
esting point, a bright light filed the room.
Mr. A. c. Goodin wheeled in his chair
and saw the lace curtain at the window
curling up in smoke. He rushed TO the
window, and catching the blazing mass
in his hands. he rolled it up and smoth-
cred the flames. His face today bears a
few signs of the blaze.
When the ladies discovered what was
up, they became very panicky and for
awhile 1t looked like water would be
needed to revive them instead Of for
quenching the fire.
No other damage was done. excluding
the loss of the lace curtain. except to the
ladies' nerves. The cause of the fire was
