Idle Moments in the age-High Stepping on Providence Street: Friday came in with the usual cloudy. sticky weather; but even this could be for given if IL were not for the effect it had upon the carpets of the village homes. Alas. Providence street has finally received a coating of tar and sand, just as the summer is drawing to its close and fall approaching. Not only has Providence street received d coating Of tar. but the crosswalks have received their share. and more teo. Women about to cross the street hop from one lump Of sand to another until it seems that the trip was to be made without T accident but Dame For tune casts the dice and both feet re- ceiye a coating of nice oily tar. Poor housewives, try as the might, to keep the tar off their carpets is an inlpos- sIbility. Their noble sons boldly enter the hall and tramp through tl-e parior and dining room. leaving a trail of tar so plain that blind hound with his nose cut off could follow it backwards. The villa gers are beginning 10 wonder whether Providence street is q bless ing or 3 curse to the village. but the man who said Don't blame the street for its condition, 1t was forced upon it by street department that has never heard of d house, and. having the tar to use, wan<0d to make 2 good show ing seems to be right They did. but there are many people in Taftyille who wouldNlke to do a little showing them selves.
