matter The fact that the young actor who invented
and executed it lost his job the result of the crime has
nothing, indeed, to do with the case.
In the playlet the two young actors in point

The end of the duel always drew the applause Of the

United States in the last fiscal year,
while nearly 5000 miles were import
ed The exact length of the films ex-
ported in the year ending June 80,

$6,815 600; the length of films i'm
ported was 14,2747S6 feet Of posi-

A large proportion of the motion
picture films now used in the various
parts of the world are manufactured
in the United States. About two
thirds of those exported go in the
'unexposed" form, ready fer use in
taking pictures IN those parts Of the
world to which they are sent. Oh the

GOOD USE FOR LEFToVERs
Meat Patties May Be Made Of One
Variety, o. a Combination May
Ee Employed.

For these use either cold chicken
and ham, or veal and ham, or even
cold beef or a mixture of cold meats.
One pound of good short crust pastry,
two cupfuls OF cold meat, one cupSul
of sauce, one tablespoonful Of finely
chopped parsley, salt and pepper, and
one egg. Roll out the pastry to about
a quarter of an inch in thickness, then
stamp it into rounds slightly larger
than the gem pans, allowing two
rounds to each gem pan. Cut the meat
into small dice; if chicken and ham,
or veal and ham are being used, add
white sauce; if dark meat. use brown
sauce. stir the meat into the sauce,
add the parsley, salt and pepper to
taste. Grease the gem pans, line each
with pastry, put on the lid. not forget
ting to first wet the edges. Make a
hole in the top Of each, brush the top
of the patty with beaten egg and bake
them in a hot oven for 25 minutes.
Put them on a sieve until cold.

MAKES A PRETTY HEADDRESS
Design in TulIe Is One of the Latest

The tulle headdress is one of the
newest ideas for evening coiffures. A
soft band of folded tulle sewn with
crystal beads, pearls, or colored stones,
is drawn loosely round the head with
an outstanding mount of plated tulle
at the left side. The effect is most

Scheme of Freemasons and Opinions
of Jews on demonstrating
Solomon's Edifce.

London.-The scheme of the Free
masons to rebuild the Temple of
Solomon at Jerusalem has aroused
quarters here, and much doubt is eX-
pressed as to whether the project will
ever be realized.
Some two years ago it was an
nounced that Chester had decided to
form a lodge of research to meet at
Lodge of King Solomons temple.
It's members were to be drawn from
ali parts of the world. but in view of
the unsettled state of affairs then
prevailing in the Turkish empire the
lodge was consecrated in the province
diction of the grand lodge of Eng
land.
At any time an announcement such
as this could not have failed from
its very character TO arouse the deep
est interest throughout Jewry, wheth-
Ell members of the craft or not, but
coming as it has within hail of the
solemn new year, when the thoughts
of the Jewish people naturally revert
to the past history of their nation, it
has struck a far deeper note than it
might otherwise have done
AS to the intended uses of the pro-
tected temple, details are necessarily
incomplete, but however generous
the financial support that has been
placed at the disposal of the pro-
moters of the scheme, however skill
ed the artificers it will be difficult to
convince the Jew that even modern
arts and crafts can reproduce the
stateliness and the splendor Of the
original temple, a splendor that is
considered by some to have been ex-
aggerated.
The scheme appears in one respect
to anticipate the yearnings of the
pious Jew. who in his devotions prays
daily for the restoration of Jerusalem,
and incidentally to the rebuilding of
the temple:
20 dwell il the midst of Thy City
of Jerusalem. as Thou hast spoken,
and speedily establish the Throne OF
David therein. o build it speedily in

mamma must suit the coat to the rest

are few and simple get one of the
double-faced woods and make up the
coat without the Norfolk plaits, which
would make too much of bungle with
these thick materials.
