AUSPlCI0US OPENING.

THE Lace Store" located at 80 West

public this morning. and on all sides
was heard tho most favorable comment
as to the up-to-date appearance this en-
porium 80 defined I'm its object. Through
out the day the store was crowded and il
does seem that the new store will fill a
long felt want In Providence The In
terlor was handsomely decorated with
flowers and potted plants and presented a
most attractive picture to the eye on all
sides were TO be seen those things that
are so dear TO the tasto OF the feminine
sex--laces, embroideries, neckwear, veil
ings, handkerchiefs, shirtwaists, etc. all
OF the very best quality. It is evident
that the motto OF the store, Reliable
Goods at Reasonable Prices" will be car
ried out to the letter. and the proprietor,
Mr.. ]. G. Mclean, who received his train

extensive acquaintance I'm European mar

the best products OF their manufa cturers.

next TO him.
IL went from one 10 another and much
favorable comment was passed on the
piece OF jewery as 10 its strangeness and
evident high value. Some minutes passed
and the owner asked where his ring was
but no one seemed 10 know. II had dis

said he did not have IL. The walters.

1t. The disappearance az first was taken
as a joke Soon IL ceased 10 be a joke
and became a serious matter. The owner
| or the ring became indignant, as did Also
the host OF the evening. Finally. as a
last resort the host asked the guests IL
they objected to being searched. With
some hesitation they all agreed TO il In
! turn except one man. who stated en-
phatically that he refused positively. He
was gentleman. he said, and did not
propose to submit TO a search. and .eft
the house in "A rage.
OF course naturally all present had an
idea that he was possibly the guilty party,
and as the ring was not found on any
OF the remaining guests the party broke
up,
About an hour later. the host in max
ing last search. found the ring under
the corner OF rug on the moor, where
| IL had evidently fallen.
Then his thoughts reverted 10 the man
who had left the dinner refusing 10 be
rearched, thereby calling suspicion on
hts head. He went 10 the man and told
him the ring had been found and asked
why he had refused 10 be searched with
the rest. The friend looked at him mo-
ment. smiled and said: We'll you see,
my wife likes crullers, and you had them
at your dinner. l deliberately swiped
four Of them and put them In my pocket
| TO take home 10 her for "A little midnight
bite. and knew that II was searched
these crullers would be found and il would
be an everlasting joke on me-"
There is a hen in the north end owned
by Mr.. Reader. so tits said, that is
wonder. Born on July s, 1904. il has de-
veloped wonderful intellect and pro-
/ ductive power, having since Jan. LIST of
this year carefully laid 62 eggs IL knows
its name, which is Annie Laurie, will
| come when called and about the north
end they honestly state that they believe
the hen actually reads the newspapers
At any rate, the number OF eggs that It
has laid this year would demonstrate
that Annie Laurie is onto the egg trust
and is trying 10 break IL up.

PARTY BACK
FROM The
CAPITAL

Tired but happy and chock full OF en-
thusiasm over their manifold experiences
az the inauguration ceremonies at Wash
i1gton and supplementary diversions. the
Rhode Island delegation arrived home last
evening all present or accounted for. and
two hours and a half behind schedule
time.
The weather god smiled auspciously
upon the ~ representatives OF little
Rhcdy" during the Eve days trip. and
the transportation arrangements and ho-
tel accommodations were pronounced
vCll nigh perfect. rejecting much credit
uuon Adiutant General Sackett's execu-
tive ability and experienced foresight.
They left this city on Thursday morn
ing a. asa and. though, on account OF
the very heavy travel the trains were
late both going and coming. yet the time
spent en- route was by no means the least
enjoyable part Of the journey. Through
the foresight OF Gen. Sackett the special
car "Egmont' had been provided. so that
the members were able to remain by
themselves II they desired. The arrival In
Washington occurred at 1 o'clock In the
morning and the party proceeded Directly
10 the Hotel Arlington, where aocommo-
dations had been engaged.
At 10 o'clock the same morning Sena-
met the party at the hotel and conducted
the Rhode Islanders to the White House.
where. through their good offices, re-
ception by the president had already been
arranged President Roosevelt greeted
the members cordially and made brief
remarks which were greatly appreciated.
In fact, the whole party felt honored by
the fact that though the day was neces-
sarily one OF the busiest for the president.
yet he consented 10 give up the time for
an audience TO the delegation from the
smallest commonwealth in the Union.
After the return TO the hotel a fresh
start was made. the objective point
being the room of the library committee
In the Capitol. II was a sort of reunion,
for all of the Rhode Islanders who were
in Washington.
On Friday evening the party attended
the reception which was rendered by
Vice President and Mrs. Fairbanks to
visiting governors and states parties. ON
Saturday morning everything was In
readiness for the inaugurat ton and pa
rade. The civilians OF the party were
provided with tickets TO vantage points
from which they could watch the cere-
monies. while the military contingent, led
by Lieutenant Governor Jackson, psrtici-
pated I'm the parade. IL goes without say
ing that Rhode Island made a very fine
showing I'm the parade.
On Saturday evening there was the IN
auguration ball and on Sunday the mem
bers attended church or strolled about
the city as the fancy prompted them.
Yesterday morning the start for home
was made at 7:io.
