The Chinesje are-planning to erect a Confucian temple in New York's Chinatown at the cost of $100,000.

Minister Wu Ting Fong recently addressed a large audience of. his follow countrymen advocating the organization of a Confucian society and the building of a temple. The temple is to serve as a place for social, political and religious gathering of Chinese.

"KatL-erine Dardinilis," the daughter of an anarchist, whose one desire is to kill the king. Necessarily, she has seen little of the brighter Bide of life and thinks that she i wedded to the "Cause." From the time she meets the king there is always the struggle within her, between letting herself love this man and her own sworn duty to kill him. Love wins over the hate. Here she is given the chance for the quick change; a hurried play on the s-ympathies, then a jump to the nerves, an argument for your hate and a demand for your love.

With a voice that is flexible enough to break up long speeches, without the use of "business," she sends every word she utters straight to her audience. Low and vibrant, at times with passion, It rises to the lighter vein, easily and naturally. It is as easy for the audience to love her as it is for the king. The part was- beautifully played, from a technical as well as artistic "standpoint. Mr.

In conversation he was one of the bravest, as well as bloodthirsty, little men we have, but when the game started he always failed to materialize. every line provoked a laugh and his acting was excellent. As an entertainment there have been few attractions in Charlotte that have provided as much genuine amusement as did "The King's Game." A good friend of ours says this is a tactical blunder.

Every woman-has to buy of some one of another dealer if not in a "Liles Store" 1 Necessarily to increase the volume of business, we must draw on the people who have yet to become familiar with our stores. There is nothing unfair or detestable in this nothing to be ashamed of, nothing that will not bear the light of day.

In a way our friend's allusion to an army is apt, for business in its essence is warfare It's not a conflict of arms, or a matching of force it's a battle between quality, prices, service and to a large extent, convenience. Our fight is straight along these lines. No woman is going to spend her money with us just to encourage us or withhold it just to break us down. We get what we get, we think, because the woman who buys in a Liles btore receives most for her money. This is the biggest kind of a claim.

Make us prove it. Call us to the witness stand to the counters of our own stores to offer the necessary proof. Make us face you in open court and make us fish or cut bait. If we fail the worst that has happened to you is to have satisfied yourself that in avoiding "Liles Stores" you have not lost a cent. One of the strong proofs that you get most for your money in "Liles Stores" is our top value for a bottom price.

It is certainly a splendid attraction and the impression it has made everywhere it has been presented, justi fies the above claim. Before the first act is over one has been entertained by more song hits effective chorus numbers, brilliant stage effects than are usually found in a complete musical comedy production.
