The Arab patrol, which has charge of the arrangements for the temple, has been requested to give a drill in uniform.

These uniforms are variegated and gorgeously colored affairs and in drill present a most pleasing effect. No final action has as yet been taken on the subject of drill, but it is likely to come off.

There Is amply opportunity for decorators to show their skill and the committee hay ng these arrangements in charge is taking great paine'wlth the work. Invitations have been sent to all the temples of the Shriners throughout the country and it Is probable a number of visitors will be present.

Syria is one of the largest temples of the order In the United Stale.

The free kindergarten association of tho two olties, for whose benefit the entertainment is to be given, is but two years old, and has had its free schools In operation only one yeajr. There are a dozen schools now being conducted in the more thickly populated business and manufacturing The demand for a wider extension of the field of work, a rapidly depleting treasury and the failure to obtain an appropriation from the last legislature have combined to determine the ladies Interested In the work In giving the klrmesa, the proceeds frotq which, It is hoped, will be sufficiently large to enable them to start four or Ave more new schools by February 1. The list of patronesses has already been published in this paper, showing tha prominence and influence of the women who are working indefatigably to make this particular branch of public education a success.

'All the material and articles for sale will have to be replaced by the same evening to permit a resumption of the show.
