Columbus Notes.
The discipline and marching Of the
school children was one of the greatest
wonders of the day.
1t was the most good-natured crowd
ever known in the city.
There never was better day made for
q big street demonstration.
1t is supposed that no parade i'm the
world never started more promptly or
moved in better order than the municipal
yesterday.
About 200 members OF What Cheer
Lodge of the masonic fraternity assem-
bled in Masonic hall last evening in com
memoration of Columbus Day. The ex-
ercises consisted of orchestral music
GRAFTON by Bro. Edwin NJ. Sawin, and
vocal selections. A banquet, dancing
and general social time followed.
There was deep sentiment in the decora-
tions OF "A. III. King & Co. that deserves
more than passing notice. On the left as
one stood facing the store, was the pict-
ure of Lincoln. on the right was Wash
lngton and in the center was Columbus.
Each picture was finely framed and fit
tingly decorated, while under each were
the several inscriptions, 'The Discoverer
Of Our Country" "rhe Father Of Our
Country" and "The Savior of Our
Country" Many were the citizens who
fingered aud gazed at the scene struck by
the beauty of the thought and the sim
plicity OF its expression. IL were per-
haps well III more OF our decorations on
public davs could be designed to express
thought rather than "a combination of
colors.
Much admiration as the Cathedral
cross justly caused among those who saw
IL from near by its beauty could only be
appreciated from "a great distance. The
best point OF view was the head OF Park
street on Smiths Hill. From there the
sight was inspiring. The Cathedral
towers were invisible in the distance.

THE EVENING PARADE.
The Floats and what They Represented
to the Public

The days celebration was fltly brought
to close by the big torehl ght parade of
the Catholic parishes OF PROVIDENCE and
vicinity. Never before in the history of
the city was there anything like it. The
long columns Of torch- bearers, the hand
some floats. the primy appearance given
the men by the flaming lights, the col
ored fires. the decorations. the crowds and
the murky clouds of smoke hanging over
all made spectacle that will always be
remembered. For almost two hours

fifteenth century, was an interesting part

If anyone has received an invitation re-
Gently some three weeks before the date of
the event, or two invitations. one early and
one later, for the same party. no one must
think thar the hostess-to be 10 not in her
right mind. Nor must she be credited with
being an Irregular list-keeper. The moi
dent or accident IL thus explained: The
hostess made her arrangements for the
party early, and wrote and addressed
number of invitations and stamped them
ready to send Beginning soon. she in
Sended to do few at time, 90 the burden
IF writing would not fall all at once. The
small boy of the family was anxious to
help his dear mother. so, unknown to her.
he took all that were ready and put them
in the corner post box and they were col
lscted and delivered. The record of those
addressed was not perfect. so for fear some
whom she desired to invite were not of the
number, the whole list has been rewrit-
teD. This accounts for the early and
duplicate invitations.
The whlrl of society has become so rapid
that again the recipients of invitations
foil to look at and observe the date. Some
twenty or moro ladies dressed and went to
the supposed reception one day last week,
which was jusa one week too soon.
A thanksgiving party, which is not only
for the pleasure of the participants. but for
the profit of others, is thus described: The
rooms are decorated with corn, wheat and
oats, in stalk. apples, nuts and, In fact, any
thing suggestive of the season. The re-
freshments are nuts, popcorn. fruits, cof-
fee. cider. doughnuts and the like. There
may be games. dancing, or any kind of
amusement the host cares to offer. Each
guest is asked to bring some donation. The
articles brought are made into suitable
packages and given to poor families. The
party should be given one of the three
evenings immediately preceding Thanks
giving. The party is especially desirable
for church and missionary organizations,
and the double benefit Of pleasure and
profit is said to be such q happy
combination that, in places where they
have been given, they are considered
the delightful and informal gatherings
that are looked forward to each recurring
fall season.
