The ball of the East End
Symphony band Thursday in
Fire Hall No. 2 was complete
success and all of the many
Young ladies and gentlemen
who were there are emphatic in
their statement that it was one
of the most enjoyable events of
the season. The Band played
its first piece in public and the
manner it rendered the march
was matter for complimentary
comment. 1t will not be long
till the band will have large
repertoir of pieces at their dis
posal. The dancing contest
was one OF the most exciting
eyer held here. There were
about thirty couples entered
each striving for the
handsome present offered
by the band. 1t was won by
Miss Laura Romero and Mr..
Simon Lasalle. The West
End Band furnished the music
in excellent style and received
several encores for its rendition
of one Of its selections that was
varied with burst of song.
The Weekly Enterprise has
received a post card from Miss
Eugene Lacour, who won first
choice of trips in the ENTER
PRIsE-LEADER contest. 1t was
written from Washington and
bears an illustration of the Cap
itol. In her note Miss Lacour
says:
"In the summit OF the dome

joying trip immensely grand
city. Will be here a week more;
then to New York, Niagara
Falls and Canada. Trip home
via Chicago, St. Louis, probably |

Attention is drawn by prop
ertv owners to the fact that the
ordinance against driving in the
cutters and bitches is not obeyed
as 1t should be in order to pre-
serve the drains and keep them
free from distractions. 1t is
said that in some places the
drivers deliberately disregard
the ordinance and that as a con-
seq ence much OF the timber in
some and embankment in others
is d stroyed.
lie West End Military
Band has decided to improve
its band room. 1t will have
raised floor and electric lights
will be put in so that it will be
quite comfortable to meet there
in winter. 1t is also proposed
to have proper arrangements
made for heating and its fur
nishings will be improved so
that it will be more than ordi-
nary home like.

There will be no skating in
the evenings at the Pavilion in
White Wings Park til Monday
evening of next week. The
floor will be open to ladies' and
children, however, every after
noon during the remainder OF
this week. A great many ladies
have expressed desire to use
the floor TO practice on and the
afternoons are more convenient
for them. Also a great many
of them object to appearing in
the motley crowd that gathers
nightly in the streets and uses
the sidewalks.
The floor at the Park is now
in perfect condition. All the
dampness has disappeared and
the rough places have been
smoothed down. Next Mon
day evening if the weather is
good will be skaters evening
and as there will be no other
place for skaters it is expe cted
that there will be large crowd
there.

The Committee on Opera
House from the B. O. p. EIks
started out yesterday on the
round of the city dlsposlng OF
tickets for the opening pertor-
nance at the opera house. Up
to this noon they had disposed
of large number of tickets and
there was every reason to be
lieve that the plan to build the
theater would be successful.
None refused to take tickets
and some Of the merchants were
very liberal in their subscrip-
tons.
1t is probable that the opera
house will hold upwIrd of 1000
persons and it is very possible
that this number of tickets will
be disposed of without Difficult
ty. Nearly every one in the
city believes that there ought to
be an opera house here and the
plan of the Elks seems to be the
one most feasible and most GER
tain of bearing fruit in the near
future.
If the subscriptions equal ex-
pectations it is possible that the
actual work of construction of
the building will not be delayed.
1t therefore depends on the peo-
pie of the city whether we shall
have the theatre or not. The
are from the first
work that the theater
will be constructed.

no notice OF his movements and

Choosing Wallpaper.

When about to have a room repapered
take into consideration the size of the
room. the height of the ceiling and the
number and arrangement of the windows
as well as the use to which the room Is
put and the probable number and kinds Of
pictures you intend to hang upon the walls.
Small patterns add to the apparent size
and are good In a small room. Striped eff
fects give height and should be employed
where the ceilings are unduly low. Plain
papers are also suitable in small rooms and
are best calculated to show OF engravings
to good advantage.

a plain paper has been used q. dado of g.
contrasting or harmonizing color, run about

Peers Daughter Canadian Rancher.


Lady Ernestine Hunt. eldest daughter OF
the Marquis OF Ailesbury. has taken up an
entirely new vocation for women. She
has started horse-breedng ranch near
Calgary, in the province of Alberta, in
western Canada. where she controls about
40, 900 acres Of grazing land.
Not content with the somewhat humdrum
life of the ranch. Lady Ernestine has ar
rived at Avonmouth with seventeen Cana
dian horses. whose conveyance across the
Atlantic she personally supervised. having
little or no assistance in their manage
ment. The horses are only haf-broken,
but after some schooling they are to be
offered for sale as hunters in Dublin.
Lady Ernestine was pretty well known
some years ago as an intrepid yachts
woman, with much more than a superb
cial knowledge of navigation and kindred
matters.
1t is the case that she applied to the
board Of trade for examination with
view to obtaining a masters certificate,
but was rebuffed on the ground that
woman could not qualify as a master,
though II is difficult to see why logicany,
a woman should not become a sailing mas
ter as much as a master Of arts-a quail
fication now open to her in many univer-
stiles.
Lady Ernestine has been a nurse as we'll
as a sailor and a horse breeder: and she
married, at the age of twenty-seven, the
second mate on a merchant vessel.

Two Lost Arts.

We Americans are a race of skmmers
Possibly because of climatic conditions.
probably because OF a social system which
exacts a continual straining after things
we have not got; but certain 1t is that the
qualities of serenity and concentration may
be counted among our lost arts.
We do everything lighty-just touching
just playing at things. We fly from yes
terday's interests to tomorrow's; from the
fad of a month ago to the national issue nf
today, and give to each one passing
thought-nothing more.
American women are conceded the whole
world over to be the most brilliant YER
satile and charming among the daughters
of Eve. They are also the most nervous
IL you walk down the principal shopping
streets of our great cities. you can count
upon the fingers OF one hand the number
OF women you will meet In an afternoon
whose eyes are serene and whose mouths
are not tremulous and tired
You see the same look In all elasses---the
worn wage-earner. the brisk professional
woman. the busy mother Of families, the
society leader-and simply because what
ever their rank of calling. each one Of these
women has crowded into her days twice as
much as she can comfortably do.
When / find myself in need of a nerve
rest" said French woman not long since
Il leave America and 60 back to my own
country. We French people called
volubls and excitable, but we possess ele-
ments of self-control that are utterly un-
known among the natives of this side Of
the water. Even your little babies are
bundles Of nerves. Their eyes are wide and
inquiring. and they seem to take In every
thing; they begin to be busy before they
can crawl 1t Is little wonder luat you
have cases of diseased nerves BY the hun
dreds among your school children"
Unfortunately, there is no exaggeration In
her charge. Our school systems. embracing
as they do vast diversity Of subjects. Gull
tivate the skimming inclination of the race.
A child whose course includes fourteen or
fifteen different branches has little. chance
to develop concentration. every chance In
the world to develop nerves.
We have no time for a book or q play, for
an individual or a problem that takes much
Of our time. Said a young girl who had
been advised to give more attention to her
drawing, for which she had marked
talent, Il haven't time: there are all my
things that must be done"
Your things?" questioned the older wo-
man with whom she was talking; "whak
do you mean?'
'Oh, my music. and the dancing class
and our book club and the theater club,
my French lessons, my clothes. my camera,
my riding lessons-I am coming out this
winter-and-"
Don't" said the questioner, feebly
Your list makes me fairly dizzy. I can
well understand that you haven't time for
anything else; but wouldn't Ii be better IL
you concentrated yourself little upon the
thing you can do best? You wouldn't be
so tired and you would really accomplish
more"
