SUNDAY SCHOOLS LARGER.
This is Time of Year When Their
Populations Are Growing.

The Sunday school population of
every city and town Is increasing rap
idly at this season of the year.
Shortly after the first OF the year
there will probably be another decline
i'm Sunday school population which
will reach it's climax i'm midsummer
when swimming is good and baseball
and other outdoor sports are In fuil
proeress. But IL is confidently be-
iieved that the decline will reach the
highest stage at that time and then
will gradually halt, and then slow
increase I'm Sunday school population
will begin to show. This increase will
roach its climax about the middle or
last of December.
This Is the universal experience of
men and women who watch these fiuc-
tuations of Sunday school population
during the course of twelve month.
The cause is easy to ascertain.
II is about the first of December that
there is first heard murmurings of the
approaching visit to each Sunday
school of Santa Claus. IL is also cur
rently reported that at each Sunday
school he visits. that he will leave
something for each boy and girl who II

trated In the big Cement Show which
opened in Madison Square Cerden to-
day. The show is given under the au-
spices OF the American Association Of
Portland Cement Manufacturers,
whose annual convention is now in

that attended the opening this after
noon was the famed Edison poured
cement house, a commodious one-fam-
lily structure Of eight rooms, which the
inventor claims can be built at cost
of $1,000. The outside and interior
walls. the roof, floors, stairs and all
of the exterior ornamentation are of

the divorced wife, burglar and po-
llceman are kept barricaded for a
week.
The comedy of Clifford Nipple as
James Wilson, the host and divorced
husband. was a marvel of artistic fin
ish, so quietly done that its brilliancy
Is scarcely recognizable.
Kit McNair, portrayed by Emily CAL
laway, was a constant delight. her
work being unaffected and full of
charm and freshness.
One of the funniest situations of the
play was furnished by Jean Patriquin
as Anne Brown, when she attempted
to walk off being "wobbly" and TO tell
the party OF her mothers sisters's cat.
Another funny situation that scored
decided hit was when Mary Land as
Belle Knowles, the divorced wife, was
found trying to escape through the
coal hole besmirched with coal dust
and hat awry, she was introduced as
"the lady from Pittsburg."
The quiet comedy method of Anna
Little as Aunt Selma was excellent
To the four feminine members of the
company fell the brunt of the burden
but the minor characters of the po-
liceman. burglar, and the two friends
of Wilson were all well done. and the
whole production went with a dash
that Is irresistible.
The piece was admirably staged, es-
pecially the second act i'm which thu
setting was kitchen.
