The Helping Hand.

The truth of the Table's adage that "everything comes to those who try"
was strikingly illustrated recently. Some Ladies of Newton, N. J.,
planned a fair in aid of the School Fund. Of course it was a delightful
occasion. There was much hard work, and there were some disappointments,
but the splendid sum of $30 was netted. Those who had the great pleasure
of giving this amount to the Fund were:

Helen Leyton, Mabel T. Roof, Eleanor Hayward, Mollie Morford, Katherine
Atwood, Emma Howard, Edna L. Roof, Mary S. Roof, Harry Howard, Waldemar
Howard, Louis Layton, Harry Lubbs, Clarence Howard, Thomas S. Woodruff.

At about the same time some other Ladies in the upper part of New York
city held a fair. They, too, had hard work and some discouragements, but
then, like the Ladies of Newton, they enjoyed a great deal of
satisfaction in the end, for they were able to send to the Fund $71.50.
The Table most heartily thanks all who helped at these two fairs. It
also urges other Ladies, Chapters, and all readers to try to hold fairs
for the same purpose. Let us have one hundred fairs and entertainments
this autumn and winter. Then we shall surely lay the corner-stone of the
building early in the spring. Write the Table for suggestions, or see
the Handy Book.

More Chutes to Shoot.

An interesting article appeared in the ROUND TABLE on "Shooting
the Chutes." The writer mentioned that there were four "Chutes" in
different parts of the country. There are two more, which have
probably been erected since the article was written, one at
Washington Park, Philadelphia, and the other at Atlantic City.
They were both erected this year. The one at Atlantic City was the
attraction of the season and a wonderful financial success. It
earned the whole cost of its construction, $35,000. There will
doubtless be another one next year, for people do not seem to tire
of the exhilarating sport.

An Appeal from Australia.

We live on Red Hill, a suburb of Brisbane. We have a very nice
view from our place, and in summer a nice breeze springs up which
mitigates the intense heat of the day, while in winter it is
rather cold. We go to a state school, called the "Norm
