In the sixth instalment of "Sir Richard Escombe," Mir Pemberton seems to have made the biggest hit of the entire serial so far. Votes and criticisms are coming his way. and some of Mrs Freeman's supporters have, for the nonce at least, deserted her and gone over to the Briton. His is the type of the 'sit-up-all-night- finish story, spurring on the reader to see what is going to happen next" says one of his admirers. Some are impa- tient because there is no last chapter to turn to and end the delightful suspense. One critic admits that MT Pemberton has, as charged by some of his oppo- nents, played to the galleries with a sterotyped plot, but argues that he has handled this plot in such an effective and artistic manner that he deserves all the applause that he gets.
 Mrs Freeman still has enthusiastic supporters. however, and many of them. One wrote;;-"Suppose it was bitter ly cold morning and your newsdealer had forgotten to leave the SUNDAY HERALD; suppose-this, by the way. is an impossible condition-the install ment of Max Pemberten's story was the only inducement, would the inter- est he has excited make you brave the wintry blasts and get the paper your self; I, for one, would let Sir Richard severely alone. But, on the other hand, if the instalment of ''The Shoul- ders of Atlas" were in the balance, I would rush to the news stand, seize the paper, and probably would not take time to berate the neglectful dealer, but would dash to my den and eagerly take up the thread of the narrative where it had been severed by the wick ed little "To-be-continued-next- Sun day" line. And the chances are that my whole family would be at my back ready to seize the paper from me as soon as 1 had finished. But I'd lock the door and read in peace"

 The New England supper and enter tainment at Emmanuel church parlors. Lyons Plain, Tuesday evening, Febru- ary 25, given by the ladies of the aft ernoon s.

The presentation of the Dusenbury family just after its landing way down in Yer mont in 1776, interspersed with music by Miss Muller of New York brought forth continuous applause.

LINEN EFFECTS FOR FALL
Linen and Tussore Gowns Are Found

September spins its web Of days and

hints of autumn styles appear almost

says our Partisan correspondent.
Linen and tussore gowns are at the
height and apex of their popularity
and among the favorite schemes which
have made their appearance, nothing
is more popular than the mustard COL
ored and khaki gowns of coarse toile,
with their inevitable touch Of black
introduced in the facings Of the lapels
and cuffs Of the little gilet which ac-
companies them. Many of these gowns
have besides broad cummerbunds OF
black satin, which are wound round
the waist under the coats and are
visible between the cut-away fronts
dividing the khaki or mustard-colored
skirt from the dainty lace or net
blouse. These cummerbunds have long
sash ends finished with heavy fringes

DISORDERLY BOYS
AT BATH HOUSE

The Board of Park Commissioners
held a short meeting yesterday after
noon, little important business coming
up for consideration. Jerome b. Bell
reported many complaints of boys act
ing disorderly in the vicinity Of the
bath house in Brandywine Park I'm
less the disorder is stopped. some ac-
ton will be taken against the Offend
ers.
The attendance at the above bath

Brandywine. 50O1; Delamore, 4671.
There were 607 men and SS6 women
who paid admission on pay days at
the Brandywine bathhouse, and only
seven at Delamore Park.
The financial statement OF the board
showed a balance in bank of S1S,21I6S.
The expenses during the month
amounted to S3.6S0.41.
The question of putting up a sign at
Wills Rock. designating the name of
the place, was discussed and IL is
probable that one will be placed there.
