Carnival Opening
The Van Sickle Carnival open-
ed Tuesday night to a big crowd,
and was thoroughly enjoyed by
ail there It is a good, clean
show throughout, and although a
good per cent of those present
were women, there is not a
single attraction which could
offend anyone. Everyone seem-
ed to have a good enough time to
insure a good attendance the
rest of the week.
They have a number of good
attractions; the riding of the
motorcycles in the motordrome
was as reckless as ever seen, and
proved a sensational attraction;
the "Days of 49" was proba bij-
as popular as anything on the
grounds; the "Minstrel Show"
was well attended, and is re
markably good; in fact, all of the
attractions are well equal t > any
thing usually found in first c a s
carnival companies. But pro ,
ably the most unique attraction
of the whole show, and certain-
ly the one which is being most
talked of today, is "Spidora, tin
spider girl." This is, to all ap
pearances, a beautiful girl, with
a spider's body, the body is not
over eighteen inches or two feet
long, and she is in the center of
a web, suspended in mid-air, you
can see above, under, and all
around her, and the all absorb
ing question is, what is it, and
how is it done? Of one thing
there is no room for doubt; it
certainly is alive, and is as
pretty and fascinating an at
traction as is ever found with
the best of the carnival com-
panies.
Priscillas Entertained.
The Priscilla Club was most
pleassntly entertained last Fri-
day afternoon by Mrs. Ben Jack
son. The bleakness of the He-
comber weather, made the cheer
and warmth of the cosy, pretty
sitting room all the more enjoy-
able The "working hour" sped
rapidly, the busy clicking of
needles and shuttles keeping
time with the hum of happy
voices. A delicious salad course
was served. There will be no
meeting of the Club this week.

4'In the East woman is deliber"
ately excluded from all the things
that make the life of her hus-
band, or father, or brother, in
teresting and vital. The Hu.du
wife may not even eat with her
husband, but must first serve
him and then eat, often from her
husband's plate, alone, or with
her children. In Africa there is
no word for wife; it is just wo-
man. And there is no word for
home. It is even said that in
China there is no word for home.
In Korea the married woman
h-ts no name, and in the Korean
