. CHURCH.THEATER Hall.

Times and preiudices have certainly
changed in the small town. A current
magazine tells of town in the West the
inhabitants of which earnestly desired
a little theater and new church. Com
munity funds were not sufficient to build
both. The problem was solved uniquely.
One good-sized auditorium has been
erected, with a pulpit at one end and a
stage at the other The seats are re
versible. Although this might seem to
indicate that to attend either divine serv-
ice or a dramatic production the audience
must turn its backs to the other, it is
really diplomatic solution to delicate
problem. na15f
The pulpit end of the hall remains dig
nifed and simple and never has to be
converted into a temporary stage. The
stage itself is correctly built and does
not have to be set up as hurried make
shift every time the town wishes to in
dulge in theatricals, public meetings, etc.
For community with a will there is al
ways a way to surmount obstacles.

1t may be none of our business, but
just the same we are never going to do
otherwise than fight the idea of women
wearing pantaIoons. A woman in trou-
sers looks like hell. Now, kind readers,
we do not say this to be profane, or any
thing of that kind, but just because there
is no other word to express the fact. A
woman sticks out too much both fore and
aft to look good in pants, and besides she
is bowlegged. Now just listen to lot of
