Damage OF $4,000

Ralph Pritts garage ON Liberty
street in the town Of Oakland, SUI
fercd damages Of about $4,000 as
the result of a fire early last Satur-
day morning.
The blaze apparently started in
the battery room, near the furnace
room, in the rear of the building, and
the flames spread from there to other
areas in the rear and overhead to a
repair and paint department. One
was burned, but Oakland
fircmcn and others helped to get a
number of other automobiles out of
the building and prevented extensive
damage
The Oakland Fire department was
called after someone in the William
James hotel who noticed the flames
and smoke, spread the alarm. Bat
tories, tires and other equipment
caused a dense smoke to spread out
over the neighborhood and hampered
the fircmcn in their attempt to OK
tinguish the flames.
This is the second time that the
Pritts garage has been on fire, the
first one having been caused by a
furnace explosion. Repairs to the
building already are under way, The
loss was covered by insurance.
Fircmen also answered a second
alarm on Sunday about noon. Some
trash in the furnace room at Oakland
High school was smouldering, but no
damage resulted.

lone Of Their Homes
By Katharine M. Brooks

there was an arbor effect with
pink roses hanging thickly and
here and there the large room had
fruit trees in bloom. cozy hooks
with rustic furniture and other
interesting details to work out a
garden scene. A moon shining
through the tree boughs in the
tower window furnished the only
illumination. (Rauscher's was
built with a rounded corner at L
and Connecticut avenue which
gave the effect of a tower in the
upper floors.) The garden effect
was continued throughout the
parlor adjoining and the halls.
The ballroom had a profuse dec

ers.

More Serious Side
Mrs. Heiberg has a very serious
lside and although her debut year
was gay and full of parties ending
with her engagement and mar
Iriage to Walter B. Brooks, jr., of
Baltimore, she was ready at all
times to help in charities. During
World War I she worked with the
Red Cross. putting in long hours
with the Hospital Corps.
Following that as Mrs. Crom-
well Brooks she lived on Massa-
IchuSetts avenue and her house
was a rendezvous for leading Of
ficials and officers, both United
States and British. For many
months society was kept guessing
as to which of three top officers,
Gen. John J. Pershing, his aide,
Capt. John G. Quekemeyer, or
Maj. Douglas Macarthur would
win the lady. 1t was Maj. Mac
Arthur who won. When he be-
came Governor of the Philippines
she stayed very briefly in Manila
and then returned to the States.
In more recent years she has
aided other worthwhile and seri-
Gus projects, one of the outstand-
ing events being a bazaar for the
benefit of st. Thomas Episcopal
Church which netted them a very
lpretty figure. Whatever she un-
dertakes she completes with an
extra fine fiurish.
/ Mr.. James II. R. Cromwell,
brother of Mrs. Heiberg. and Mrs.
Cromwell, who have been with the
Heibergs for a visit, went to New
York the middle of the week and
opened their place at Southamp-
