Turned Into the Choir Fund
VIII Close To-day.

Hundreds of dolls, dressed to represent
every possible phase of life, are on display
at the doll carnival which is being given
at st. Paurs parish house, on New York

carnival, the house was packed with peo-
pie, and very few OF them left without
buying something.
The carnival is being given by the choir
chapter of the church, and the proceeds
are to be turned into the choir fund. The
dolls have all been dressed by the ladies
of the church themselves, and some very
interesting characters are portrayed So
far the carnival has proved a great sue
cess, and much Is expected to-day and to-
night The admission fee is 10 cents for
adults and cents for children, and every
body is cordially invited TO attend.

The Man About the House.

Chicago Journal
Most of all, in order to make the man the
most helpful about the house he should be
affectionately appreciated.
There Is nothing meaner than a calm and
cold acceptance of mans help in domestic
needs after he has worked all day in his
own reservation in support of the family.
ITS no more than he ought to do is
mistaken view Of the service rendered when
he does odd jobs at home after his work is
finished down town.
The wife who argues that her work is
never DONE hence he should turn right in
and help her out in household affairs, is so
selfish that she cannot understand her own
responsibilities in the conjugal partnership.
The husband who is handy and willing in
domestic service is good kind of consort
to have, and should be appreciated and
cuddled and thanked.

small trunk are to be obviated. The unique
feature of the device is a lock hasp, con-
sisting of top plate and a wire look link
on which is swung the hasp proper. This
has a double end. One of these is designed
as in the ordinary lock of commerce, to en-
gage in the boltslot; the other is double
ended with roller shaped journals. These
engage the two ends of a small yoke on the
face of the lock When the roller is in
place a very slight pressure on the free end
of the hasp, which answers as a lever, is
said by the manufacturers to bring down
the lid against the pressure of the bullying
contents. Tie trunk Is also opened easily.

ence at the Church of the Covenant. DR..
j. d. Mcmillan, of New York, said that

had taken vows and oaths which confiicted

of his seat by Senator Smoot was the
union of church and state.
The presence of the private secretary to
Senator Smoot and his wife at the meet

Theatrical Notes.

1t is said that the studio scene in Hall
Gaines 1.-The Eternal City," which will be
at Englshs tomorrow afternoon and even-
ing, is an extraordinary stage setting Not
only is the scene most literally provided
with heavy properties" but there is a
groined ceiling to the room, which, unless
especially pointed out, passes unnoticed as
being anything unusual. In point of fact,
this ceiling is solid wood and weighs over a
thousand pounds, and when taken apart is
in thirty pieces. To lift 1t into position re-
quires special hosting machine. When
not in use this huge ceiling is tipped on its
side and covers almost the entire back wall
of the theater. AT the Victoria Theater,
IN New York, last spring the fixture TO
which the block and tackle is attached gave
way and several stage hands were injured.
The stage employees at English's are look
ing forward TO busy time to-morrow-the
busiest since the massive production at that

is cut and shaped with care. The chemise
is the fashionable one in sacque shape. The
