misunderstanding Over Basket
Leads to Argument.
Paid Heavy Fine for Splitting
In Ex.Chief's Face.

Two OF the leading churches on Taunton
avenue held rummage sales in vacant
stores on Warren ven Saturday after
noon aud evening and az a result those
who had charge OF said rummage sales
no longer dwell In peace and harmony.
The trouble was over a basket OF goods
contributed TO one OF the sales by a we'll
known dealer on the square. who early In
the day notified the committee OF his in
tentions.
At Q o'clock the basket did not reach the
sale so a messenger was dispatched to the
well meaning store keeper who said that
he had sent the basket and that IL had
been delivered. The messenger then called
at the store where the opposition sale was
being conducted and asked the manage
ment to produce the basket. The manager
OF tho opposition was taken somewhat by
surprise and said that there had not been
any basket or other objects delivered for
the sale that were not intended for It..
This was followed by words that are
very seldom used by church folks Later
II was found that the basket that caused
all the trouble was lef, nj a store on
Taunton avenue and now the messenger
from the sale who accused the opposition
sale OF receiving the basket Is not only
sorry but heartily ashamed OF himself.

came a part Of Boston university. and was
graduated in its first class In 1884 OF this
class DR.. Fletcher Is the only surviving

nected with her profession she took to the

who essays the role Of guide Is Miss kath-
crime Goven of Boston, and she not only
finds II pleasant employment, but profitable
as we'll Miss Goven works all the season
for one OF Boston's fashionable dress
makers but when the pleasant weather
comes she takes up the task OF guiding
strangers about the city.
She was born in Boston and educated in
the public schools of that city. Her father
was one of the captains in the merchant
service Of a past generation. He died some
years ago, leaving the young woman as the
only support of an aged mother.
Miss Governs station is on Lafayette mall,
on the Common One of her trips is to
the north end, which is a sort of Mecca
for western people. especially those who
lay claim to Pilgrim or Puritan ancestry
Another she calls her Beacon Hill trip, and
that includes Kings chapel and the old
burying grounds. Miss Goven says she has
tried TO store her mind with all the in
formation obtainable, not only about the
different places and the historic data at
tached to them, but also about all of
Boston's great men, its different monu-
ments and memorials. Her ambition is to
be able to answer any reasonable question
about Boston and its people that any
stranger may ask.
Miss Goven is thoroughly familiar with
every section OF her native city. and, while
she has what she calls her trips she is
at all times ready to pilot the visiting
stranger to any point which he may desire
| to see, from the point where the first
American fell at the beginning OF the
revolutionary war to the stately monument
| which marks the scene of the battle of
Bunker Hill.

Among the moires are the chameleons

Circular skirts and plated are among

reason that he also took care of all the
