them next week. Manager Lovenberg has

made a decided hit when they appeared
at Keith's nearly three years ago. during

time they have made tours OF Europe and

rather than have the Providence public
miss them entirely, fact for which

He had talked but a few moments when
he came to the conclusion that the little
ones were hungry and he proceeded to
the nearest store and purchased a suffi-
cient quantity of fuel and food to give
the family a supper and breakfast.
