WEST CORNWALL

Friday night, soon after midnight came the dread cry of fire. The old house on Cream Hill, known as the Wadsworth house, was burned to the ground. Fire probably started from a defective stove. The wind was north west so blew the fire away from other buildings. The fire had gained such headway when discovered that the fam fly living there only escaped through the window, saving almost nothing. For the present the family are living in Mrs. Niles Scoville's house at Gold s Mills, the father working for w. B. Hubbard.
 Deloss Hart and Miss Nellie Rogers were home for Thanksgiving.
 The Thanksgiving exercises by the school on Wednesday afternoon were excellent and showed much hard work on the part of the teacher, Miss Turberg and earnest endeavor of the pupils.

ZEAL ON EACH SOLE.

"Am I using Red Cross Christmas SealsT" reiterated good natured old ccbbler as he looked up from the shoe he was repairing to the person who stood blocking the doorway of the lit tie shop and who had asked the ques- ton originally. "I don't know of them. What are they for2' he asked.
 When told that the little stIckers were being sold all over the United States to raise money to prevent tuber- culosis the cobbler became very much interested. ."....
 Now, I call that good cause" he drawled. "T don't write any letters, and I don't send any Christmas packages. There's just me and the old woman left. I can't use my seals that way, but I'll tell you how l can use them. will stick a seal on the sole of every shoe I tap"

BETTY GETS A CHANGE.

Red Cross Seals Helped Her to Get
 She was real pretty and so full of fun that the dimples were always showing in her round. red cheeks. Her eyes were big and brown. and her nut colored hair curled naturally in little rlnglets over her forehead and ears. She was just eighteen when we first met her and so neat and attractive that one would think she belonged to the we'll to do class of working people. I but when we followed her to her home one day we confronted startling facts.
 The red fin her cheeks was the flush of unnatural Inward fever the higlr spirits were a pitiful antidote to piti- less conditions, and the biz brown eyes saw only squalor when they were not fixed upon typewriting machine or closed consistently to any view but an Imaginary bright one.
 The room we entered was general living space, used also as an eating. cooking and sleeping apartment. There was but one bed, and Betty had to sleep in it with her mother. who was too weak to sit up. An open cuspidor sat where 1t would be conveniently near the bed, which placed it by the stove, where their food was cooked. The mother who was suffering in m advanced stage of tuberculosis. did not like cold mir, and her querulous de- mands caused Betty to keep the door and windows closed.
 "WeIl," said cheerful Betty. with n laugh, ''that isn't so bad as not having any windows or doors to close. Ia 1t? Things might be worse"
 Infinitely worse," said the Wise One You might even take a notion to stun the windows and doors with rags to cut out what oxygen comes in through the cracks"
 Red Cross Christmas Seals, with their cheery message of hope gave Betty a chance to get well after her mother died. Is it worth while to save the Bettys?

There have been many queer de- velopments and freakish plays in the history of baseball, but the one that takes the cake and the whole bakery was staged in the Indiana. city of
 Muncie twenty-four years ago come to-rnorrcw. A~big holiday crowd. of Hoosier fans witnessed the peculiar
 pastirne, which was regular pen nant game between the Muncie and Anderson clubs of the Indiana State League The remarkable chapter of the contest was confined to one in- ming, when the Anderson players made six hdts-three triples, dou- b1e and two singles-wfthout scoring a single run sThis seems Impossible, but it is true, and this is how 1t was pulled off:
 Ireland, the first man up. landed on the leather for a triple. and tried to get home on passed ball but was nicked at the plate. One man out. No run. WeswelI up. He landed on Joe Goar's delivery for another three bigger When he reached the third station he kept right on running, try ing. to stretch it to a homer, but the pill was relayed in from deep center field in time to get him at the plate. Two out and still no run- ShumwaV also had the triplet habit, and banged the ball to the fence He played safe and roasted on third Derby up. He bunted one down the third base line. but the third baseman thought it was foul and did not rush to get it. When it finally percolated through his cranium that the bunt had rolled fair, Derby was on second. Shumway. was still hanging on to third. Faats was the next batter, and he got a single on g, ball bunted down the third base line. The bases were then crammed, and three triples. double and a single had been made off Goar's delivery, with two men croak- ed and no runs yet scored. Fear came to bat and biffed the ball on the nose for a hard liner between first and second which hit Faats, who was running from first to second. on the leg. This made three outss but Fear was credited with single. Thus this single inning yielded Anderson J

Italian, charged with assault with in
tent to do great bodily harm, occupied
the attention of the jury in the circuit
court this morning. The jury which ii
hearing the case was secured on Mon
day afternoon and it is expected that
the state will rest its case late this
afternoon. Facienti is charged with
.stabbing Sam LaConti in saloon on

to show that he struck in self defense.
The attorney for the defendant has
declared that regardless of the outcome

NAPS for wear at the various dane
~ Ing functions which are furnishing
exercise for the younger set-and all
the other sets-in the social world
Just now, are among the several dress
features that the fad for dancing has
emphasized. Just why cap for
dancing is not apparent, but the caps
are.
A pretty cap. made OF alternating
rows Of ribbon and lace, is pictured
here, and is a type of the greater
number OF the caps which are worn.
These caps are made Of all sorts Of
fancy laces-the metal laces among
pthers--and OF tulle and silks. Rib
bons. beads, jeweled bands, and en-
broideries help out in their construc-
kon.
The ribbon used for the cap shown
In the picture is about three inches
wide and is In one of those reddish
yellow tones which are classed as the
Tango color" There Is rosette
with long hanging ends OF satin rib
bon in the same color. The ends are
finished with q bow which ornaments
and weights them. A covered disk
made of the wider ribbon finishes the
cap at the center.
No less potentate in the realm Of
Fashion than Paul Poiret designed
the daring gown and cap for the din

Of dark fur are bands Of swansdown.
Where this very perishable dainty is
not practical, bands Of ribbon laid in
triple boxplaits close together, make
a finish as effective as either fur or
feathers, and much more likely to
withstand wear.
If voile or null or other light fabric
is chosen, let it be in gay colors. use
narrow lace or net to define the neck,
and be sure to have the ruf1es of wide
lace over the arms.
This little morning Jacket fastens
with a tiny hook and eye under fat
bow Of ribbon like that used for the
strap across the back.
1t is pleasant to contemplate the
fact that these fascinating little gar
ments cost very little. Three yards of
narrow goods and less of wider ma
terials, will make the body. Less than
two yards OF f1ve-inch ribbon Is needed
for the strap and bow, and about three
yards Of the ribbon quilting or swans
down. An ordinary white lace-trimmed
petticoat or petticoat of sheer white
material made for the purpose, will
be found to do quite as well as a
crepe-de-chine

There Is a straight-hanging under.
skirt and an overdress on the lines
of the 'lamp-shaGe" tunic, of which
this particular designer is SO fond.
But 1t is the cap that invites atten-
ton. 1t Is a close-fltting affair COW
cred with beads. The design is dar.
ing and the wearer must be able to
carry it off," The cap terminates in
little extension at the back which
supports a long, curling peacock
feather without the "eye." Such a
cap demands an unusual costume AL
together a dress and cap of this kind
are bound to be somewhat sensa-
tional.
The cap Of ribbon and lace is a
modest design which viii look well
with the average dancing frock. This
last, by the way, is to be gay and
frivolous in light coiors and made up
with as many furbelows as the wear
or likes. Among these the girdle is
not to be forgotten.

the council and to the people at large
all possible facts in regard to the adj
visibility of the installation of a fl

that the council will act on the report
but it is to be submitted to the people
to guide them in voting on the propos-
