For callers Monday afternoon Mrs Preston had Miss Rose Dimock oi Merrows, driving her car for her mother, Mrs. Eugene Dimock, Mrs Julia Dillworth of Hartford and her daughter Birdie" and Mrs. F. J. l O'Connell of Pittsburg, Pa. They l drove to East Wilmington, taking a l look at the old familiar places. Mrs. Dillworth is still a sufferer from the painful accident by which her. hip bone was broken, but as brave and cheerful as ever. It is a pleasure to make mention of her son, Otto, who, when they lived at the pretty Fenton river valley homestead, was one of the familiar youths at church and all so- cial events and whose natural inven- tive genius has found expression in an artificial, mechanical hand so perfect that someone has said that in the feats it would accomplish it was "uncanny. This wonderful invention has been patented in every country save Germ any Rupert Amidon has an artificial
  dent, but it is not as many have said, a Dillworth invention.

Mrs. Adalaide Eldredge was gladly welcomed at church, the first time she has been able to ride so long a distance for several months.
 On Friday afternoon an air-ship, by its cheerful clatter," called attention to itself as it passed directly over the Hill, so low that those on board were plainly discernable. It came from the northward, rose gradually higher and higher and rapidly melted away in the blue distance.
 MT. and Mrs. Edwin Hyde Moore of Summit, N. J., have announced the en- gagement of their daughter, Gertrude Evelyn, to Edward Alan Meyer, son of MT. and Mrs. Julius c. Meyer of Sum-
 init, N. J., and West Wilmington. The wedding will take place during the
 early part of January.
