Fitting the Armseye

as closely as is comfortable and must
be on the highest point of the shoul-
der. Stout figures require a closer
fitting armseye and one that is higher
under the arm than do the more slen-
der types.
The shoulder may be wider for
shirt sleeve, extending slightly beyond
the tip of the shoulder. The sleeve
does not fit so closely as other types
of set-in sleeves. The armhole should
be fitted rather loosely for the figure
with very round shoulders.
If the armseye is altered the sleeve
will need to be altered also In or
der to keep the same relation between
the edge of the sleeve and the arms
eye. Before altering the armseye in
any way make sure the shoulder seam
is in its correct position, which is
a straight line from the highest point
at the neck to one-half inch of the
highest point on the tip of the shout
der. Mark the highest point of the
armseye when the garment is being
fitted.

If food looks delicious and tempting

Dried fruits are some of the best

Long Hemlines for Formal Wear
By JULIA BoTToMLEY

fashioning the handsome frock in the
picture is enivened with bouquets
done in vivacious multi-colors. The
dress is styled with view to accent
ing to the full the elegance of it's fab
ric.
As to present and coming events in
evening modes, this gown is quite re-
vealing. Perhaps the most conspicu-
Gus detail in the styling of this ultra
evening robe is it's sweeping length.
All the discussion about -four inches
below the knee" or fourteen inches
from the floor, which ~centers about
daytime hemlines, has no bearing
upon evening frocks. The question of
skirt lengths for the formal evening
gown is admirably settled by the model
in the picture.
Not only are evening chiffons faunt-
ing fiowerX prints, but stiff silks, espe-
cially taffetas and moires, are gay
with design. The vogue for sprightly
silks which "stand alone" is quite pro-
nounced. In handling these formal
weaves, designers emphasize fabric
manipulation, stressing tiers, flounces,
hustle effects and faring hemline in
endless variation.
Later on lovely printed cotton nets
are scheduled to appear. Even now
they are grazing the style scene in
the milder Southern climes. For these
Dicture frOckS delectabIe nets are en-
ployed, which include a patterning of
spaced bouquets of realistic violets,
or perhaps the design will feature
peoples printed in high colors. Short
puff sleeves, and capelets which veil
the shoulders are exploited in the
styling of these picturesque modes.

The fire spread east to the build
ing of former State Auditor Nor
ris Harrington, the first floor be-
ing occupied by Harrington and
Lynch, farm and grain dealers, and
the second floor used as an apart
ment by William Love, local
barber. Just recently Mr.. Love
had his apartment newly furnish
ed and all of this was lost with his
clothing and other valuables. A
vacant lot adjoins the latter build
ing and it was felt that the blaze
would not spread further. A few
minutes later however, buildings
to the west of the Moore store
were ignited. The first building in
this area was occupied by Jacob
Hyde. He is one of the pioneer
merchants of the town and slept
above the store. He was unable
to save any of his effects and was
forced to use a blanket as a wrap
as he stood and watched the ruins
of his store fall to the ground. The
next building, the home of Mrs.
Edward Dill, was also totally de-
stroyed, with all of the contents.
Mrs. Dill is an elderly woman and
firemen had to carry her from her
bed to the street, as she has been
in poor health for some time. The
hardware store of Walter Hughes,
owned by John Hyde, was the next
building to become a prey to the
flames. Friends managed 70 save
small quantity of merchandise
from his store, but the larger part
was destroyed, including a large
quantity of gun shells which ex-
ploded. The blaze was checked at
the public garage of Walter Hugh
es, after car and large drum
of oil stored in the building had
been destroyed. This was a metal
building while the greater number
of the other structures destroyed
were of frame. Buildings on the
opposite side of the street were
badly scorched and the intense
heat cracked many windows. Men
were stationed at all of these
houses to scatter the shower of
sparks which continually fell on
them. The buildings damaged by
the heat and flames were those of:
A. E. Kelly. general store; Mrs.
Anna Wallman, millinery store; ].
D. Eaton, general store; the FELTON,
Bank; Stanley Darling restaurant;
Cooper Bostic, meat market;
dwelling occupied by Hezekiah
Mastin; dwelling and undertaking
parlors of William A. Berry;
Grange Hall. The question of ar
ranging for a water supply in case
of fire was discussed about two
years ago by the Town Council,
but the matter was later dropped.

at harrington, Dover. CLAYTON

Fire which broke out at FELTON,
at $50 a. m. Wednesday threaten
ed to wipe out the town. It ragged
for several hours and firenen were
unable to get water with which to
fight it. An appeal was finally
sent to the Pennsylvania Railroad,
tracks of which run through the
center of the town, and tenders of
water were sent from Harrington
and Dover, quenching the fire af-
ter damage estimated at SIS 900
had been done. The fire started in
the meat and grocery store of
Walter H. Moore, and had gained
considerable headway before it
was discovered, by Mrs. Luff, who
was aroused by the barking of her
pet dog. Mrs. Luff saw the re
Election of the flames from her
bedroom window, and put in calls
for the nearby fire companies.
Three Dover firemen were injured
while fighting the flames and an
other was injured after he had re
moved one man to the hospital
and returned to FELTON,. Those in
jured were: Fireman Malaiue Colt,
suffering from broken nose and
shock; Fireman Thomas Baker,
burned about the face, and As
sistant Chief John Argo, injuries
and ]. E. Scanlon, Jr., both of Do
yer, placed Colt in a car and then
brought him to the Kent General
Hospital at Dover Returning,
their car collided with a truck at
the intersection of the State High
way and Viola Road, and the auto
mobile overturned. Scanlon suf-
fered possible internal injuries and
was taken to the Kent General
Hospital and Hayes suffered from
shock and minor injuries but was
taken to his home Their car was
badly damaged. It is understood
that the merchants whose build
ings were burned carried little in
surance. Firemen from Dover,
Camden-Wyoming, Harrington and
Milford responded to an alarm and
worked for several hours. Resi-
dents of the town furnished them
with gloves, sandwiches and coffee.
Arriving there men were handi-
capped by the lack of water and
their supplies of chemicals were
exhausted as the fire continued to
spread. The store of Mr. Moore
and its contents We're destroyed as
was the Odd Fellows Hall on the
second floor. The building was
owned by the Odd Fellows and
their lodge rooms were also used
by other organizations of the town.
