Inasmuch as the blaze was outside the city limits, the Fire Department trucks did not respond to the alarm, which was telephoned to the Fire Hall, but the bell signal was given for mem- bers of the department to assemble at headquarters, and about 20 of them, with department .fire ex- tinguishers, hastened in privately owned automobiles to the scene of the blaze. The flames, which had been caused by sparks from the smoke house chimney were extinguished without difficulty. —— e - The poor Board of Bloomsburg, Pa., has decided that automobile owners, to be eligible for unem- ployment relief in the future, will have to deposit their car keys and license cards with the board. . Baltimore's last lamplighter will pass into history within a few days. The few remaining gas lamps of the city will be lighted by clocks.

Bhe | was as far East as New York, and ed various of the other large s in the East and on the fiz Coast. | ‘There is plenty,” said Miss Hal- | 20, “to think and talk about |in the new dress styles—broad }should soft draperies, raised lts, hip and waist concealed in straight lines. These are some of the conspicuous features that you note when you begin your Fail ‘shop,)ing. ‘They are exaggerated enougn to be smart, but not enough to be disturbing. There are soft draperies at the waist, made wilk the assistance of shirring and tucks, that suggest high lines with- ]out octually insisting on them. “A dress that to all appearances seems to have no inclination to (be other than a model of correct |evening form can by changing its | blouse be transformed into an ideal afternoon frock—a style which has grown out of the Cocktail frock— nothing of the need of | [to siy _economy. | Cover Multitude of Hours | “These ankle length frocks cover a muiltitude of hours, ranging from afterron bridge to midnight. Lux- jurious colors of Ruhm brown, Bor- 'deaux red, wine, French blue, \black and dark green are all fea- tured in the smart suede crepes, cantoas, satins, velvets and an entic:ng assortment of lovely light woolens. | “Slenderness is the keynote of |coat styles—a slender effect will |be aitained by higher waistlines, less pronounced flares, and a con- centration of interest at very full ',collars. Sleeves bordering on the ‘leg-o-mutton, tight at wrist and [funl ar elbow, will add to the il- |lusion of a slender build. There are three definite silhouettes this seasol. There is the sleeéky fitted model, fairly long, widening slightly towara the hemline for formal day- time wear. Swagger Model, Too Then there is the swagger model either three-quarter or full length. |The third type coat is a belted mod2l. In all three types of coats ithere is usually a button or two to reliecve you from having to clutch them closed. “Collars vary greatly in both size {and shape. They may be small and tailored of the revere or Johnny |type, or they may be a scarf or half-scarf, half revere. But more often the shawl collar appears. It's ! more reasonable in both height and breadth this year. “Midnight color schemes will be outstanding — black leading, with brown a close second. French blue will be the only color to come any- where near black or brown as a fashion favorite. Accessories Are Varied “Accessories are both smart and varied. “Millinery is offered to suit ev- jery taste. Wide brimmed suede land felt combinations, severe sail- lors, jaunty turbans, and a score 1of snappy novelty styles with un- ique bow treatment will be seen. {Tiny bhats with a tendecy toward !rmnt decoration will be most pleas- |ing with the upstanding collars of the rew furs. “Wear your hat exactly as you pleass!
