The time OF year is at hand when some
thing OF the future Is contemplated, and
the approach OF September suggests the
coming back of those who for the past
several weeks have been trying TO con-
vince themselves that they have had
Jolly good time. Well, perhaps they
have. 1t is the best thing people can do
TO have a good time. Lille Is short, very
short at its best, and you cannot get any
too much the best OF IL as far as good
times are concerned. What constitutes
"good timesn differs in the minds of
different people.
There are some people who go out in a
row or sail boat with no knowledge of
how to manage the craft, and with a
bottle of whiskey in their packets which
they transfer TO their stomachs and some
times answer the description OF those
found floating in the river. They were
having good time, their way. This is an
extreme view, you say. There are those
who are fooling themselves every day
that they are having a good time, when,
as matter OF fact, they are preparing
themselves for future pain ana sickness
by abusing the privileges which they
have. In other words, they appear not
to know when to stop or where TO COM.
mence, and as consequence become en-
tangled as to what constitutes real good
time.
September days, say about the second
Monday in the month, suggest school
days once more. New teachers, new
rooms, new classes, new books. New,
did / say? Yes, and old. The same path
has been trodden before and many
successful business man is among as who
owes his education TO the public school
system OF Providence. There Is no word
or censure TO cay against 1t.
Parents, however, who prefer, who
have the means to send their children
to private institution OF learning, will
find out something TO their advantage il
they will take the trouble TO investigate
the Friends school of this city. II is not
essentially Quaker school, as the name
would imply, but wholly unsectarian in
character, and imbues pupils with lib
eral views and ideas which commend
themselves TO all. A course of study at
this institution insures for the attend
ants the best that special instruction can
give. Bear this in mind.
Rev. George w. Anderson occupied
the pulpit os Trinity Church last evening.
Some IA years ago he was the pastor OF
the church. He preached a beautiful and
very impressive sermon, taking for his
subject, "Heaven." During his remarks
he smashed to smithereens the recent
magazine articles which have caricatured
the subject, and asserted that 1t was his
idea that every one who could live i'm
heaven would live there. The reverend
gentleman's sermon was attentively list
ened to and abounded with pertinent
phrases and vast amount of everyday
good horse sense.
The Rev. Dr. Horton has returned from
his trip abroad. He had delightful visit
to the Holy Land. He visited Calvary, and
many places mentioned In the Bible. Last
Sunday week his first address was made
at the Bethany Mission on South Main
street. IL Is seldom you hear Of 5000 a
year preacher seeking out a humble mis-
sion rather than some great church where
his presence would have been appreciated
by the rich and well-to-do. But IL was
just like the big hearted preacher to go
down among the unfortunate outcasts.
In few days the Misfit Clothing Parlor
management, 1919 Westminster street, will
be prepared TO give their patrons more
genuine worth for their money than ever
before. Some OF the bargains are already
on their counters, but there are more to
follow, which will attract the attention
of those who are looking for the best for
the least expenditure of money.
Bicycle riding by ladies makes them
work their own passage. Heretofore
when out driving with Charles Augustus
II mattered not IL five miles OF road inter-
vened before home was reached. Now she
must pedal her own wheel or walk.
A halliday OF sunshine ana humidity
sent good many persons shoreward yes
terday, and to Judge by current reports,
friend Boyden received more than his
share, as usual. Crescent Park has made a
record this season for big crowds. The 8
O'Clock bake seems TO be as popular as
ever and a few more weeks for "Pinsfore"
remains.
When you come to think 1t over, Provi
dence is quite a summer resort. IL hasn't
been very warm any time this summer
IL it did get trife humid 1t wasn't such
an effort to go to Newport or Narragan-
sett Pier.
