OBJECTION TO STREET CARNIVAL , Residents, on First Avenue Dislike Having Street Fenced I'p. : The executive committee, of the Commer- 'clal club, under the auspices of which the street fair and carnival will be held this year, yesterday decided to invite all the fraternal and military organisations -, of the city and surrounding town to take part In the parade, which will mark the opening of the carnival on Monday, Sep tember 8. ' Some of the residents on First avenue are not over pleased at the prospect of having the street In front of their homes fenced off again this year, not to mention the annoyance from the nolse of the street fair, 'and there has been some desultory talk the last few days of enjoining the carnival company from occupying the streete. There was soma similar talk last year, but the matter waa amoothed over and It possibly may be arranged this year without taking the matter Into the courts. There has also been some talk of enjoining the park' Com missioners from permitting any portion of Bay Una park being fenced off. Those who are protesting contend that the park com missioners are exceeding their authority 'n permitting the park to be shut off from he public for a whole week. Where Shall I Bay My Groceries?

ANOTHER SLAP AT OLD MAIDS Quiet Heglra of Women Over Thirty ,. Vive from Philadelphia V. W. C. A. By the terms of an official notice posted lost September at the Philadelphia Toung Women' Christian association less than a month remains for all members more than 35 years old living at the Institution' build ing at Eighteenth and Arch streets In which to find other quarters. Twelve whole months were allowed for a quiet and dignified solution of this det oate prpblem. - .Many former ; resident ol the bi building, who cam tinder the bun of years, have already gone; still others have taken full advantage of the time limit, and now the hegira is on In earnest. There were never any direct personal notices. The order was simply hung up In a gtneral Impersonal way, as much as to say, "This doesn't mean you, but If you are over 35" During the year a few of the more on splcupusly elder occupant have folded their tents, like the Arab, and as silently stolen away.

Spiteful assoclatloners have charged that these rules are responsible for the large number of girls who have stayed on and on there until they were past the dead tine. Many a lover who Is .willing to go through fire for a girl shrinks at ice water. ' But there are about a dozen suspect left In the building who have as yet made no sign of departure.
