Our esteemed contemporary, the Brs-
tol Phoenix, amazes and confounds us
with the following remarks:
"This extended town meeting is a
good thing for one reason, If no other:
The wives of Bristol have an idea where
their husbands are spending their even
ings this week"
Can it be true that the wives of Bris-
tol are sometimes at loss to know where
their husbands are o nights-now that
the Commercial Club has closed its
doors? When the Commercial Club
was fiourishing-bless its memory -
the wives of Bristol were wont to retire
at 1890 o'clock, content in the assur-
ance that their husbands were playing
indefinitely prolonged whist and drink
ing Pappoosesquash flps and all
was well. But since the Club ceased
to exist we have been of the opinion
that the husbands of Bristol spent their
evenings at home, where they should,
because there was no other place for
them to go that we can recall-in Bris-
tol. To be sure some of them might be
kept on business in Providence, but we
are confident the 1l:20 train always bore
them all homeward.
We can well imagine that If Bristol
husbands are not at home evenings much
wonder would ensue as to where they
could possibly be-unless they perchance
would pass the time at the HERE
sHoFFs to watch the new cup defender
grow

The report that Monsignor SAToLLI
has suspended the papal edict relating
to the membership of Roman Catholics
in secret societies is. If true, important
and interesting, We have heretofore
called attention to the quite large senti-

for their 10y atty to their orders ought to
have fair hearing before bringing it in
conflict with the church.

predicament.

Well, yes, and no. You see It's like
this: In the summer time when the face

q very little, powder is necessity, and
then II the blood easily sufuses the
