TALK OF THE TOWN

The meeting Of the class in parlia
mentary law will be postponed to one
week from tomorrow, to allow the
members, who so desire, to attend the
demonstration of the Woman's club in
Montpelier This item is later one
than that which appears in another part
of this paper, which calls the meeting
for tomorrow.
The new skating Kinks authorized by
the city council week ago are still in
the constructive stages. Although por-
tion OF the work necessary at the Ayers
street trotting park has been done, thus
far the rink there has not been fit for
skating. This is due largely OF the fact
that the water has not been turned into
the rink. Several days ago the street
department cleared away the snow on
large plot of ground at the park and
constructed banks. A site was also To-
Gated for municipal rink at the north
end, but the snow in that particular sec
tion has been let severely alone. Last
night the aldermen discussed the matter
informally and it is likely that work
will be resumed when the weather mod
crates. A army of young skaters is
waiting patiently for the completion of
the Kinks.

safety First"

Boston has sent many good idea
westward; we might do worse in turn
than adopt good idea just carried out
in Syracuse-a public campaign for
safety first"
When Syracuse awoke to the alarm
ing fact that accidents on its highways
were reaching total of 1000 year, it
organized civic committee of instruc-
ton in the risks and rules of the streets.
The Chamber of Commerce, the automo-
bile club and the police department, the
newspapers, the theatres the schools
and the churches all entered this cam
paign for safety. No town ever took
up such an idea with equal snap and
skill. From Dec | to New Years the
city was fairly saturated with reminders
and warnings. Three thousand street
cars carried safety first" placards,
changed three times a week; hundreds
of automobiles flew the safety pennants;
delivery men wore safety arm bands;
more than 10000 school children and boy
scouts wore safety buttons. Cards were
handed out in the down town streets and
distributed through the oranges near the
city; booklets of traffic rules were passed
mp to drivers and teamsters. Safety
first" was stcncilled on the sidewalks;
it shone in red light from the globes
of the big st,eet lamps; it was pictured
with lantern slides in public lectures;
it entered the recurring programs of 20
moving picture houses; it was preached
on Sunday in the churches, Protestant
and Catholic alike. No city on a gala
day was ever decksed with colors more
thoroughly than Syracuse was covered
with her cautions.
Boston, perhaps. would not need
full month of such admoNishment; yet
we, too, have our "jay walkers" on every
street. And if our long roll of injuries
and deaths in traffic accidents means
anything, it means that here in Boston
we need ut least a week of public warn
ing against the dangers in wheel and
hoof and fender.
An unusual number of distressing &C.
cidents within the last few days have
occurred in the streets of Boston, Brook
line and other suburbs. In some of the
cases the driver or motorman or chauf-
feur has been at fault, but in most cases
the blame has been at least in part
the victims. 1t seems particularly hard
for children with their inexperience and
for elderly persons with their settled
habits to see that the modern street,
especially between crossings, is no place
for slow or easily bewildered persons.
To-day the street is an unfenced track

A Woman Who Makes a Business of
Keeping Blase People Amused.

In the Interesting People" depart
ment of The January American Maya
zine appears a picture and sketch OF
Mrs. K. w. Hawkesworth, New York
woman who provides fashionable enter
tainments. She was widow who,
thrown on her own resources, found an
unusual way of making a living. She
provides unique entertainments for So
ciety people and spares neither money
nor pains. Her business is to keep blase
people amused Following is an extract
from the article
"Mrs. X. W. Hawkesworth is the wom-
an producer, and to fashionable eastern
society the sname has come to have as
much significance as those of Hammer
stein and Frohman in their fields She
has practically remodeled the art OF
smart entertaining. She has carried
the business of the stage producer into

formances with invited guests of less

Notice the Trees in Winter.

In the January Woman's Home Com
panion Frank A. Waugh writes an arti-
Gle, Finding Happiness in Winters Gar
den" Following is an interesting ex-
tract:
Now the big trees, which are the CEN
trail features of the summer gardens.
are scarcely less beautiful in winter. The
6ignitied outlines of their tops, the eff
fects of size and permanence, are as
great now as then. The interesting in
dividualities of trunk, and especially of
the tracery of branches are more evil
dent during winter than in the full
LEAKAGE of summer. In short all our
summer trees are just as good in the
winter garden, and if we have not usual
ly seen so much in them it is only be-
cause our eyes were blinded, or our
hearts hardened, and we did not look
with sympathy.
There are some trees more pleasing
than others, of course, in their winter cos
tunes. The good domestic apple tree,
for example, is one of the most pictur-
esque and desirable. The wild crab APP
pies, too and the native hawthorns, have
most jaunty and attractive look with
their horizontal snow covered branches.
The oaks are admirable winter trees;
and the plane trees with their white
scaling trunks make pleasing sketches
against the snow or against the winter
sky. The various birches ought to be
especially mentioned and everywhere
planted for winter effects Most people
are fascinated by the brilliant picture
of the white trunks amidst summer TO-
liage, but the artistic effect against the
snow is more pleasing and refined, Just
because it offers less violent contrast
The American paper birch is usually the
best of those having white bark, the
European species being subject to
serious insect attacks and being aside
from this, wholly inferior in point of
grace and beauty. Then there is the
yellow birch with its shaggy, shreddy
bark, one of the very finest of the
genus, though IL succeeds only in cold
moist soils. The black birch, too, though
a very common sort OF tree in the eyes
of thoughtless persons. has its own quail
tiles of beauty, coming into special en-
phasis where il shows along the borders
of the winter woodlands"

than 400 in number she gets up spec
tacles not much less elaborate than some
OF the Broadway productions. She takes
as many as 35 performers to places 100
miles distant for q single evening.
"Mrs. Hawkesworth has unusual dan
GERS on her lists of performers, as well
as singers with taking 'specialties,' to
say nothing of famous stars. But what
her patrons keep demanding is some
thing new To provide it she has ex-
plored the hedges and the byways. She
once had two garlanded oxen draw a
group of Morris dancers onto the smooth
lawn of a country residence. No Wat
teau fan ever showed a more bucolic
scene of cultivated rusticity than the
tableau Of oxen, flower draped ox-cart,
and beribboned dancers.
''She once set her heart on produc-
ing the midnight spectacle of 500 but
terflies flying free in ballroom with
a spotlight on them She never thought
that butterflies might be hard to catch.
Watching them in their frail fight from
hedge to hydrangea, it seemed as if this
would be the simplest feature she ever
arranged. Three days before the pag-
cant three butterflies had been brought
in. Children, hearing that large sums
were offered for the field butterflies,
caught one now and then and brought
it Tapping by one wing to the hostess's
front door. They demanded of a per-
picked butler one penny, and on receipt
OF it departed until the money was spent
and the CONNECTIONS consumed Mean
time the butterfly died.
Mrs. Hawkesworth, on arriving at
the summer residence, organized a com
pany of the children of the neighbor-
hood, with one little boy at the head,
who promptly got all the Others to work
for him at the rate of five butterflies
for one cent. She found out how to
keep them in captivity and bought pa
per bags for the little boy to hang them
in from trees. When the night of the
ball arrived, the soc butterflies were de-
livered in good condition and they made
a brilliant spectacle for a moment, with
the spot light ON them, But they never
appeared again, for the white glare
burned their lives out.
Mrs. Hawkcsworth never repeats Il
performance. Her business is keeping
blase people amused. and after six years
at it she has them still demanding with
each mention of an entertainment to
be given by her, what nextT"

Shortly after | o'clock this afternoon
the business section of the city was
aroused from its peaceful mood when a
team from the Papin Bros stables went
through the streets at fast clip. The
team was in charge of Scott Brown, who
was engaged to transport trunks from
the Vaughan store to the Central Yer
mont station. While Brown was nego-
tiating, the horse evidently had long
ing for the stables, having been chilled
by the cold. Soon after starting out on
its journey the horse stepped TO the
other side of the street and overturned
the sled. With the sled on its side,
the frightened horse plunged through the
street only to outrCr itself and come TO
halt near blackwell street. Passersby
brought the ANNA to the stables. While
the horse was making its flight the en-
tire business section of the city was
lined with people who expected the horse
to invade the danger zone. No damage
TO speak Of was Inflicted to the horse or
sleigh.

FISH CAUSE CANCER.
Was Statement Made to Governor Glynn
Yesterday.

Albany n. Y, Jan. l4.-Many fish in
the hatcheries of the state are infected
with goiter and cancer germs, according
TO report made to Governor Glynn
Yesterday bv DIR. II r. Gaylord, direc-
tor of the state institute for the study
of malignant diseases. These diseases,
he saws, have been transmitted from
the fish to dogs ard rats. There is no
doubt, he added, that susceptible human
beings drinking water from streams
which the infected fish inhsbit, would
acquire the diseases,
Dir. Gaylord saws it has taken six
years of careful work to determine the
scope of these dlseases in connection
with fish hatcheries and that this is one
of the most serious problems in fish
culture.
"If the atir n propagation of trout
is not to BE deliberately abandoned"
his report asserts, research will have
to be instituted Immediately to deter
mine how Ssh culture may be carried
on without the propagation of these dis
eases"
The diseases are most prevalent, he
says, among fish of the salmon family,
which includes various varieties of trout
kept for breeding purposes.
Governor Glynn did not indicate what
action he would take on the report.
