BETHEL
Harrington Creamery Was Destroyed
by Fire.

The Harrington creamery was de-
stroyed by fire about noon yesterday,
with loss of $4,000 or $1,000 and an
insurance of only $4,000. The plant
could not be replaced for less than
$4,000. Starting, supposedly, from
hot cinders from the furnace, the hre
communicated with the woodwork at
the rear of the building and worked its
way through the partition to the up
per part of the building, where 1t was
discovered. In this part of the struc-
ture lived A. F. Ferson, the manager
of the creamery, and his family,
tenement having been finished of there
for their use. The household furni-
ture, on which there was no insur-
ance, was totally destroyed and the
fire was so hot and burned so swift
ly that not even the Ferson dog es-
caped. The fire alarm was sounded
and the firemen responded with chemi-
cal extinguishers, but were unable to
check the flames. Although the cIeam-
cry was located on upper Church street
in the village limits, it was outside the
fire district and had no water for fire
protection.
The building was erected about %
years ago by Mrs. Mary Harrington
and the plant had ever since been
known as the Harrington creamery.
Late last fall il was purchased by Earl
Aver of st. George and A. F. Ferson,
in partnership, and Mr.. Person had
been its manager since then. 1t was
we'll equipped and had been run very
successfully by the new owners.
Nothing was saved but a few hun
dred pounds Of butter in tubs, two
sets OF scales and safe. The house
hold goods which burned are Mr.. Fer
sons personal loss.
More than 100 farmers, patrons of
the creamery, are losers to an extent
as several hundred pounds Of butter
were in the churn in process of manu-
facture at the time Of the fire.
Sparks set fire TO the roof Of Mrs
Ina Gonyo's house 500 feet distant.

FOR TOTS SPRING CLOTHES
Embroidery Given Prominent Place In
Decoration for chIIdnen's and
GroWnups' oarments.

Wool embroidery is given a promi-
nent place In spring clothes both for
children and their older contempora-
ries. In spite Of the very long life Of
the fashion, women and dresSmakers
are as partial to 1t as ever.
POngee makes a good background al
ways for wool embroidery. And II
the work takes too long, colored wool
braids may be used as a substitute.

This type of tailored and semi-taIl-

new SPRING HATS
Fabric Foundation Is Feature Of
SeaSOnable Headgear.
Etamine, Loose Mesh Cotton Material,
Resembling Batavia Cloth, Is One
of the Latest.

The new millinery which has already
made its appearance this spring has
usually some sort of a fabric founda-
ton such as satin, taffeta, faille or
crepe de chine, this latter material be-
Ing in the lead. Another fabric which
is new TO the season is q loose mesh
cotton called etamine, somewhat re-
semhling batavia cloth.
The mesh is so open that ribbons are
often run through it, giving the effect
of embroidery. COlored fabrics from
Japan are also used. In fact, there Is
quite a vogue for things oriental, and
japanese embrOideries are seen on
many a smart shape. Sport hats which
are trimmed in this manner are gen
orally accompanied by a scarf and
handbag to match.
Small shapes are the general favor
ties, with a strong tendency toward
the Moroccan turban effect. This is a
draped affair with a trimming which
drOOps at the side. This dropping ef-
feet is to be an important one this sea-
son. Sometimes it is obtained by
means of a ribbon bow with long ends
which hang from the side, extending to
or below the shoulder. Then. again

Smoke as a Lightning Rod.

1t would seem that a building 1900
feet above the sea lever should be
protected by lightning rods, but the
astronomical observatory at Mount
Etna has not, and does not, need such
protection. The observatory is near
the summit Of the volcano, and the
stream Of vapOr constantly rising from
the crater acts as a natural conductor,
draining the electricity out of the
clouds, so that lightning is seldom seen
there.

has been applied to their choice for
some decades past. Women are at
last putting their minds on their
clothes and are refusing to buy ~just
anything"
Can that be called a buying strike
Not at ALL 1t portends only good for
everybody concerned, and the only Try
Ing period is this one OF transition
from the days when women bought as
though they were heavily blindfolded,
following wild fashion dictates, to the
day when they win buy their clothes
as Intdligently as they now buy their
household furnishings.
One Of the biggest designers and
merchants in New York was inter-
viewed the other day as he-was leav-
Ing for Paris. He was asked the age
old question: ''What will the women
wear next season." Then came his
rather insurgent answer, for this is
hard for q dressmaker to admit-''The
women Of America are choosing their
own gowns according to their own In
diVidualities. They will no longer con-
sent to be governed by arbitrary style
mandates" etc.
Styles may come and styles may 60 ;
the direetoire may be suggested and
the one-piece dress may be threatened
with oblivion, but It does look. as
though the women Of today have be-
come wholly positive on the subject Of
dress and as though they are going to
wear what they like. This being the
case, then the dressing that one sees
In smart places becomes more insplr-
lting, as a general thing. than it>was

ing to see 4 woman quite correctly
and at the same time really suitably
gowned. An accomplishment OF that
sort Is something artistic and worthy
Of notice in Itself. And the whole idea
makes fashion a more enticingly inter-
estIng game than ever It was before
for Il opens the avenues Of individual
expression and the woman who is once
hIt by the idea becomes an enthusiast
from then on. On this basis clothes
cannot be a bore in any sense Of the
word and a thorough knowledge OF
their makeup and construction can
only help to speed any woman on her

probation,
