ney. acting for Mrs. Marilla NJ. Kicker

meager reports received here Hotels

imminent danger of destruction

against flames and wind have become
exhausted. High and frequently chang
ing winds have made it impossible to
cope effectively with the raging fires.
About 100 men, rangers, troopers and
power company employees, have been
fighting valiantly.
At one time today it was thought
that the big trees were safe on ac-
count of the wind shifting and sending
the blaze to the east and the south.
but this afternoon it changed its
course, putting the giant trees in the
most perilous position they have been
in.

times Men Change

thor and playwright, will marry Hon.

Lord Esher's two daughters. Miss
Brett is considerably younger than the
famous dramatist; she is 81, while he is
so. Although Barrie's friends say that

foundation for the report that he will
wed again

"the empires candyman. and his FAM
lily were well known In bohemian So
was engaged to marry zena Gage. a
beautiful comedy actress, who is on
terms of intimate friendship with the
Bretts.
Barrie. too, has long been friend Of
the Brett family. and since his. .divorcs
he has been in their society a great
deal. At Lord Esher's house he meets
the literary and dramatic friends with
whom he likes to associate.
Miss Dorothy Brett is very literary
in her tastes. She has tried her hand
at writing plays. but none of them has
been produced publicly vet.
Miss Brett has American blood in her
veins. Her mother was daughter of
baron Won der Meyer, once Belgian
minister to England, whose wife was
a daughter of Josiah Bates of Boston,
an American partner in the great
banking house of Barring.
