II. M. Page's pretty home, "Ardsley-on-the-Delaware,"
had a narrow escape
from being burned to the ground early
last Monday morning. Miss Ida Coots,
who occupies a large front room on the
third floor, had, alter using a match,
thrown it down on a dish on the dresser.
The match, striking something inflam
mable, set lire to the dresser and con
tents. .Miss Coots had left the room,
and the lire was discovered by little
Percy Page, who, when he came down
stairs, said it was all sinokv. Mr. Page,
who was at the barn, also discovered
the blaze, and through prompt assist
ance, and having a large tank of water
on the floor, the house, with the ex

The room in which the fire caught was
entirely burned, and Miss Coots, who
has traveled extensively with Miss Helen
Gould, lost many expensive things. Mr.
Page lost a saw mill by fire, three years
