BACK A
HUSBAND
Miss Perkins, Who Left to Get
Money to Pay Mortgage, Got
a Mate Instead.

A few days ago romantic story was
sent TO New York and a Boston paper
from this city. which was an elegant bit
of manufacture.
The story was to the effect that Mabel
r.. Perkins. a pretty girl OF II, had disap-
peared from her home In North Provi-
dence. and that she had gone out into the
wide wide. more or less round, world 10
seek a fortune that she might save her
sick mothers home.
There was mortgage on the home
which held IL down hard, and Mabel was
TO strike q rich lead somewhere and lift
that incumbrance.
Coincident with this publication was,
and quite remarkably. IL seemed, shower
OF letters from various parts OF New
England, which were received at the
Thornton post office in -Johnstnn--
These were I'm reply to other communi-
cations sent out by Mabel's mother, So

and a mortgaged house, etc.

Mrs. Perkins, who, until recently, was
domiciled upon savory Walker street, but
now lives on sweet Clemence street.
Mabel's wanderings in search OF a rich
nugget wherewith to save the old home
have ended.
Mabel is at home.

makes no bones about that even II IL isn't
a real fat job.
Yesterday Mrs Estelle Perkins of Glenn

young married daughter, and after the
front door had been slammed and Mabel
was still on the outside, the detective bu-
reau made an investigation. ascertaining
that Mrs Perkins went TO New York I'm

HAS NOW
BUT ONE
CAPITAL.
Constitutional Amendment Puts
an End TO Nswport's PTetsn-
tIuns-- --InaugWatlons Here.

Rhode Island has at last one capital
city, the adoption of the amendment TO
the constitution having abolished New
port, the so-called summer capital. Here
after all legislative business will be trans
acted in the city of Providence. and the
seat of government will be at the new
State House.
The new marble state capitol will be
opened in January next, IL is now said
by those i'm touch with the board OF COM
missioners. who have just begun TO make
arrangements for the interior decora-
tions. which will be on magnificent
scale.
The abolition OF the Newport capital
will do away with the May session of the
legislature for the annual inausu-
ration of the governor will take
each year.
The amendment also makes radical
change In the time for registration. As
the April election is abolished, the time
for closing the registry books is fixed at
June 80. a change from December 81 of
each year. The new election day in Rhode
Island will he the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November.
1t will he something OF an advantage
to voters TO have the time for registra-
ton extended 10 within four months OF an
election.
The amendment provides for a session
OF the legislature Of 60 days. the mem
bers 10 have s. a day compensation and
mileage instead OF the 81 a day now paid,
with mileage OF only one day week.
This limits the pay OF members TO 5000
year. and will result in a saving of
money 10 the state.
The portion of the amendment relating
to the grand committee provides that no
business shall be transacted i'm grand
committee unless II IL distinctly specified
in the invitation by which the committee
meets.

feature at Keith's this week, and is MAX

I wish to call the attention of my sis
tiers who have to do their own cooking
to a neglect that Is so common in most
families as to be almost the rule, and
that is the failure to properly garnish
the food we put on to the table,
1t may be that the garnish does not
improve the taste to any great extent in
most instances, but that 1t improves the
appearance is so certain as to require no
demonstration. Even a few sprigs of
parsley on a steak or chop so add to the
artractiveness of the dish that the most
careless person can but notice the diff
ference.
OF all simple garnishes perhaps the
parsley and lettuce are the best and least
expensive examples. The cost is soSslight
in either case as to be of little conse-
quence, and tho use should never be neg
lected. Your grocer will gladly give you
as much parsley as you need to dress
up" the meat he furnishes. and II you
have more than enough you will find 1t
excellent for use In soups and sauces.
But other things may be used, notably
| vegetables which are to accompany the
meal, No good housewife would think of
serving a salt fish dinner without beeits,
picked or freshly boiled, but compare
lively few stop ito think that the beet
may be used to ornament the dish at the
| same time. This is simple neglect and
| without excuse. 1t takes but a moment
to neatly slice the beets and ito arrange
them around the dish, and but little
longer to cut them into fancy designs
and let them cover a portion of the fish,
In the same way you may use carrots
turnips, tomatoes and peas, and you NOT
only add to the desirability of the dish
garnished as food, but make 1t appear
far more appetizing. Thus, for instance
outlet garnished with peas, pottet
rump with carrots and tomatoes, oil
boiled beef with a variety of vegetables
will please your family far better thar
the plainly prepared meat.
Try this idea and In week or two
will send in some recipes for preparing
some of the garnishes 1 have found de
sirable. MRS. ]. N. r.

on the weather for November:
The following statement is based on the
average weather conditions for November

tions. The weather of any given November
does not conform strictly to the average
conditions, and the statement cannot bs
considered as forecast.
In its general character, November
weather forms a mean between the heat OF
