The colony Of Arden was to have
held the first muster OF it's newly

QUO to the unexpected and undesir-
able appearance Of a newspaper man,
and a harmless photographer. There
was TO have been fire drill, partici-
pated In by every fair damsel in Ar

been hauled out on the Common, the
women were to have lined up and to
have gone through a series Of fire.
fighting drills, and the whole colony
was to have seen IN action the first
womens fire brigade ever organized
in Delaware.
But the women struck at the last
moment They informed Albert
Priestman, organizer of the brigade,
that they were willing to fght real
fires, but would never, never come
cut on the Common and go through
maneuvers for the edlfoation of the
newspaper reporter ana the photo
grapher. Priostman pleaded with
them In vain "They are impossible" ,"
he said in despair.
AS a substitute for the drill the
women finally consented to hold a
meeting in the Field Theatre and
elect a captain Protected by dense
shrubbery and trees, they expected
no male interference Miss Ida FL

Of the Players Guild at Arden, was

was vislbly embarrassed and could
say only a few words about the cap
tain-elect, Miss Margaret Wood, a
tall, darw-haired girl Then she made
a motion to adjourn.
Priestman had worked HIS hardest
for a week TO make the Sabbath mus

placards and written on the bulletin
boards at-almost every conspicuous
place announcing the drill. he had
mapped out the Common and chose
the best spot for the drill; he had
obtained the consent of twelve of the
prettiest girls in Arden TO triumph

and he had endeavored to bring out
every man in the eolonly TO witness
the spectacle.
Instead of permitting the women
folk to stand helplessly by at a fire
and never raise a hand. and instead
