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.

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. They didn't admit that they
couldn't put up with the meals any longer.
or thfft the wall paper In their room was
Just too dreadful to be looked at another
minute, or that the matron was such a
hateful old thing they couldn't endure
her, or that the rules and regulation of
the institution were too binding.
And there Is something In that, too. If
a girl wants to have a beau at the Toung
Women's Christian association building. It
Is said that she has to submit his photo
graph and pedigree to the board of di
rector's. If he passes inspection he may
call once every month between the hour
of 8 and 8:45, occupying one whole (hair
to himself In a brilliantly lighted parlor,
If In these congeninl surroundings the
young man were to fall Into a stupor and
stay until 8:46, it was the duty of the
matron to call time on him..
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. They have not been
with the association thirty-five year and
consequently there is no way of proving
that they are past the age limit. New
York Herald.
