Spurred to action by the rapidly ir-

the law committee of council praying
that that body incorporate in the Or
dinance now before Council regulating
moving picture places a provision
whereby the moving picture men will
not be permitted to play their grapha-
phones until after o'clock at night.
The petition has been signed By
nearly every merchant on Market
street between Second and Seventh
streets, and will be brought before
Council at its meeting on Thursday
night by the law committee, to which
the ordinance regulating these places
and increasing their annual tax from
$50 to s75 was referred last Thursday
night. There has been complaint
among Market street business men for
some time Of the incessant graphophone
music along Market street, but no ac
tion toward making a formal protest
was taken until the ordinance brought
up at the last meeting Of City Council
suggested the opportunity.
There are six nickle amusement
places in Wilmington, all situated on
Market street between Second anS
Seventh streets, and with the coming

regular theatrical season there may be
more. The small price Of admission
has made them popular, and on Satur-
days, especially, they are thronged

Easter Offering.

A Dainty and inexpensive Gift For an
Easter Offering.
A dainty little case that can be util-
ICED either for wells or to hold the
hlmy, almost invisible hair nets that
many women wear to keep their hair
In good condition. may be made from
three-quarters' OF a yard OF satin cot
ton wadding and a soft silk lining and
ones favorite sachet.
Take a length of satin twenty-five
inches long and ten inches wide; on It
place a piece Of cotton wadding OF
similar size, on which sachet has been
literally sprinkled. and a lining OF
china silk. Turn in the edges and hem
neatly around. Or the >wadding may
be placed between the lining and satin
and the three sides sewed on the ma
chine. Turn and sew the end In a
blind seam.
Now fold over the ends TIL two
eight-inch pockets are made. II pre-
ferred, the whole thing may be bound
with a broad silk ribbon on the edges,
finished with a fine cord.
When such a case is used for nets
have a number Of postcards and wind
each separately on a card and slip
them In the pockets. These cards may
also be covered with silk where the
case is intended for a gift; but, as a
rule, the plain cardboard is more sat

kept for a long time as fresh as when
received from the hairdresser.
For wells make the case Rider, about
eighteen inches, keeping the other pro
portions the same. Then roll cardboard
into narrow rolls an inch in diameter
and just long enough that they will
slip easily into the pockets. II wells
