Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1920-08-18

Such weather as we have nad Is haruly
conducive to social animation. Practically
all the large town houses in Wilmington
and even most of the country-houses IN
this vicinity, are closed, their owners
pleasuring in Canada and Maine, for
first selection, with the nearby seaside
resorts as the standing choice for weekend
sojourns.
One big place near here was burplarized,
lately. When its owners heard OF the rob
berry they hurried home from the fash
ionable hotel where they spent most OF the
summer, expecting to find silver, jewelrry,
and other valuables stolen. But with the
execution of some linen, nothing was
missing though all of the house, which is
beautifully furnished, had been ransacked.
One must draw their own conclusions as
to the loot these burglars wanted Evi-
IDENTIFY they hoped t, find, "a little cellar,
full stocked, in the big house. Whether
or not they left empty-handed, the writer
cannot say.
