TAtkFEsT Of
LAST EVENING

The citizens OF Cranston were treated
to a unique celebration last evening when
some officeholders and prominent men of
Pawtuxet Cove house. and during the dis
cussion OF town affairs, two great evils
were uncovered. namely. the billboard
nuisance and the small wages paid the
school teachers.
The meeting was called to order by
Town Surveyor Joseph Latham at
o. clock, and the discussion lasted one
hour, after which shore dinner was
served TO about 10 hungry plates Col.
Bliss, president Of the town council. pre-
sided at the gathering and called upon
several business men for their opinions
as to the condition OF affairs In Cranston
Among the speakers were Charles A
Denfied rector of the Church Of the
TRANSPORTATION, Edgewood, and Trinity
Chapel. Pawtuxet, who said he was pres
ent because he dared not stay away from
gathering OF such Importance, but as
he was asked to crticise he would say
few words about schools.
'"The schools are no place TO skimp on
finances" he said, "and particularly re-
garding the salaries of the teaching force.
We could get along with little less fancy
work on the buildings, but when there are
seven changes in the teaching force at one
district Edgewood, there Is something
radically wrong. We have to compete
with the salaries paid In Providence 10
our disadvantage, but something should
be done to keep the good teachers here"
r. T. wingo spoke OF the billboard
nuisance and expressed the hope that cor
rective legislation could be introduced.
The concluding speaker was Hollis p.
Coombs who told how prone those out Df
office were TO criticise officeholders, but
said II was not altogether safe TO turn
out the officials and put the outs in. He
continued
II am not opposed to bossism in the ac-
cepted sense and this town has not been
badly governed In the past 20 years. You
must make nominations that will suit the
people or the people will unseat you"

swindled out Of 500 yesterday by an Ital-
ian who had boarded a few weeks at their
home, 16 Walnut street The boarder was
known TO the Folgos only by the name Of
Antonio.
Yesterday Antonio told Folgo II he
would go with him to the city hall he
would get him job paying &5 month.
and Folgo accepted the invitation.
After the two had been at the city hall
but a few moments Antonio told Folgo
that he wanted TO see a man about some
work and departed saying he would re-
turn. AntoIio went directly to the Folgo
home and told Mrs. Folgo that her hus-
band had sent him TO get $780, and she
gave the money, the sum OF their total
savings to him. Antonio has not been seen
since and has probably left the city.

brims on the left side. But fewer hats
are tilted sidewse to show the mass
of trimming, as the general tendency
now is to have the hat nearly straight
on the head, with decided dip in
front
One very dressy hat Of pearl colored
chip that | have seen was bent to a
sharp point in front and had a large
pink rose set in the middle half hidden
in mass of pearl white malines, with
two immense plumes falling down to
the collar in the back. The left side
was lifted slightly and had smaller
plume curled in under. One pale blue
French braid was tilted up high at the
left side with a large bunch Of yellow
daisies half imbeddcd in the mass of
blue tulle with which the outer side
of the brm was heavily draped, with
bunch Of the same daisies along the
right side.
Naturally these hats of many plumes
and much tulle and malines and gar
dens of fragile blossoms are for such
days and places as offer protection
from the elements, and headwear Of
more substantial material must be pro-
vided and for these requirements we
find canvas hats made waterproof and
they are trimmed with ribbon or wings
or some other material that will stand
wetting if it so happens. One of this
kind is turned up high on the left side.
the brim caught there and held by a
wing and fancy buckle, no other trim
ming being considered necessary.
| have seen quite Il number Of tur-
bans of the variety in which the brim
IS close to the crown, and this is high
er than in the fiat shapes. One of this
style was of dark blue chip tipped
down in front over the eyes, with a
band across the back made of pink
roses massed in solid bunch. A
FURNISHED wing was placed on the
right size of the crown, held by n
bunch Of roses. And roses are by all
means the favorite flower, some being
in velvet. but more of silk with velvet
leaves. These leaves are simply beau
tifui and are shaded from light greer
to bronze brown. These little turbans,
however, are more for utility than
anything else and so do not requirs
much or. amentation.

SEASONABLE HEAOGEAR.
Some Of the Hats Of the Season AID
Their Adornment.


Hats ana hats and still more hats we

Incidentally on huify heads. Those on

no hat Is ever chosen 10y sensible

to show sense in the choice of their
honncts-unle-s it Is becoming. and
thus hat ana woman are the natural
Compliments of each other. AMI each
enhances the others beauty.
just now the liking for long ostrich
plumcs in high or dropping masses
seems to he rather greater than that
for flowers. the natural adornmcnt for
warm weather millinery. The straws
are of many kinds and all are fine ana
handsome. one in particular having Il
web rs fine as Il panama of Oldcn
times. Milan braid. fine lcghorn and
no end of chips and Japanese braids
are seen. most of these being trimmed
with malineS, lace. flowers or plumcs
and sometimes with all of them. To
particulariZe. | may mention very
fetching hat of drab French chip in the
old style flat shape, but this Is curved
into several dents to adapt it to the
face it is intended To adOrn, and for
trimming there is Il full rich drapcry
of tatteta silk of the exact shade of the
hat. Above this drapery, which eX.
tends around the crown and over II.
there are two superb ostrich plumcs,
one turning to the back and dropping
there and the other to the right side.
These plumes are of several shades of
brown and drab. Fawn and drab min
gled with shades of brown are seen
frequently this season, and pleas
anter combination does not exist UNI
less 1t may be found in shades of blue
mingled.
Not all hats have plumes, but all
women who can get them want them.
| have seen several very handsome
hats with, say. one enormous rose,
generally of the tea variety, in soft
tints where the pink is more suggested
than seen, and this rose with its foliage
of green velvet leaves is placed just
above the brow. Feathers are SO nat
uS1lly in order, then, that one finds a
background of them and these in the
same tints. One such hat had an enor-
nous tea rose set above the tea rose
colored straw brim, and branching
from that on each side was an cnor-
