Scenes on Cranstun Street Car Not Included

A rather strenuous sendoff was handed
out to a young couple, newly married.
as they boarded a Cranston street car
early last evening As the car stopped
pair aboard. the passengers therein were
treated 10 post-nuptial hot air, shower
ings OF rice and confetti and a brief dis
play OF tender sentiment and affection
that was utterly oblivious to the public
nature OF it's surroundings.
The motorman sized the bunch up as
the car approached and resigned himself
to his fate. There was much mushy
talk parting advice, hilarhy I'm largo
packages and RICE enough to ease the
burdens OF an economical Chinaman from
birth until he be gathered to his ances-
tors.
Considering that It was his first honey
moon, the young man acquitted himself
with credit. and In a fairly short time
had his young wife. the luggage and
himself safely out OF reach on the car
seat
The reaction came as the car started
and much surprised and much tickled
crowd of passengers were given a chance
To see what real hug looks like. Testi-
mony from first hand declares IL was

seem quite at home I'm it's strange set
