John TyIer's Romance.
John Tyler was twice married. the
second time while he was president.
His first wife was Letitia Christian.
who belonged to one of the old fami
lies of Virginia. Mrs Tyler bore the
president nine children. Just before
her husband was elected vice presi-
dent of the United States she suffered
a stroke OF paralysis and a short time
after he succeeded William Henry
Harrison as president she died-in the
White House.
the president met Julia, the daughter
of a Mr.. Gardiner, who lived on one of
the islands in Long Island sound.
The president fell desperately in love
he wooed as a youth OF twenty
would WOO, impetuously and roman
tically. 1t wasn't great while before
they were engaged and a short time
later they were married quietly at the
Church of the Ascension in New
York city.
Grover Cleveland did not marry I'M
til fairly late in life. Then he fell in
love with Frances Folsom, the daugh-
ter OF his law partner. She was q
girl whom he had known from early
childhood-there was a time when
she called him Uncle Cleve." Mr..
Cleveland and Miss Folsom were
welded in the famous Blue room at
the White House.
For a long time 1t was thought that
President Wilson and Mrs. Gait would
be married in the White House. PEG
pie just supposed that Mrs. Gait would
want to go down in history az All
actual White House bride. From the
general feminine point OF view It
seemed really the only thing to do.
Charming. tactful Mrs. Gait decided
long ago, however, that woman
should be married in her own home
and not in that OF her husband. She
did not believe in breaking the Amer
ican-nay. the world-precedent in
the matter. And in this all washing

never eat. and garnished him with holly.
At last the company came, the mistress pre-
serving a calm exterior, but with inward
anxiety lest something be burned or spilled at the
last moment
When all is ready the beaming host says
Friends, will thee join in the Christmas

The Table Decorated.
The table is a picture TO cheer the hungry.
The large turkey is at end and the pig at
the other end of the long table. with everything
they to eat between, excepting the plum
pudding.
After the silent grace, which stills the noise
for moment the carver takes his knife, and
with deliberation born of steady nerves carves
under the fire of twenty pairs OF eyes,
The directions in "Gentlewoman's House
wifery' says: Raise the leg fairly Of the tur-
key and open the Joint with the point Of the
knife, but do not take off the leg
Then lace down both sides of the breat bone
and open the breast pinion, but do not take It
of. Then raise the Merry Thought between the
breast bone and the top of it,, and so on till
the turkey is boned While this is being done
the Christmas bowl" is passed
After they helped to turkey and pig they
pass the vegetables and delicacies. and even the
mnce pie is eaten when they have the desire
for it.
.,-.r <'' The Correct Manners.
The proper conventions are strictly adhered
to- The book Of etiquette says: "A gentlewom
an must not lean her elbows on the table, nor by
a ravenous gesture discover a voracious appe-
tite nor talk with her mouth full, nor smack her
lips like pig
The children were kept in order. In all the
feast decorous. but merry for all that.
At last, when they have eaten to the extent Of
their capacity. the plum pudding, blazing and
with piece of holly stuck in the top, is brought
in and eaten with brandy sauce. Then the toasts
are drunk with the good homebrewed wine, and
the feast is dane.

The recent fair at North Scituate
has had great many complimentary
things said of it. Looking at 1t from
almost any angle, it must be consid-
cred very successful exhibition
1t started seven years ago IN small
way and has improved every year,
until now it seems to be on solid
foundation and stands secure in the
estimation OF the people OF Provi-
dence County. The fair this year
certainly gained much in what might
be called prestige. Those who at
tended were pleased and satisfied
with the exhibits and did not hesitate
to compare the iair with larger, older
and more pretentious as sricultural
shows, and not to the detriment OF
that of the Providence County Fair
Association effort. 1t also demon
stated that the money appropriated
by the state for this agricultural ex-
hibition was most worthily expend
ed. The TIMES extends its hearty
congratulations to the members Of
the Providence County Fair Asso
citation. It's members certainly did
splendid work and deserve all the
good things the have said of their
effort.

The changing of the name OF
Smith Street to Putnam Avenue
seems to have much in its favor and
very little against it. The Town
Council Of Smithfield at its last
meeting approved of the change and
it lis understood that the town 81
Glocester will follow suit. Johnston
sometime ago concurred with the
idea and it only remains for North
Providence and Providence to follow,
to make it unanimous. This
would give the same name to an inn

and continuing from that boundary
to the city OF Putnam.
