' The ennual Ladles’ Night of Narra- t Commandery, Knights Tem- , held Wednesday night in Ma- e Temple, was easily the social at of the town since the Ladies’ nt of a year ago. Nearly every sir t of the commandery was pres- t in full uniform, and each was ao- panied by one or more ladies, all evening costume. The feature Was entertainment given by the Mari- Quartet, of New York, the name ing suggested by the beautiful cos- of the first part of the pro- in the colors of the marigold. e four lady entertainers were Pro- coTSag: o Douquets of real mari- ds end forget-me-nots, by the Broughtiuiness of a member of the re- eeption. committes. A pieasing feature was a half-hour musical sketch, writ- ten especially for the Marigold Quar- fet. The program occupied two hours, and contained more variety than us- waily given by twice the number of drtists, as each of the Marigolds were not confined to a single line of enter- taining. The quartet is composed of Miss Katharine La Sheck, with superb con- tralto voice, excellent diction and a most genial disposition. She ~gave groups of songs in special costumes. Miss Gertrude Crosby has a pure lyric soprano voice of sympathetic quality which she used with great skill, and she has a charming stage presence. Her character impersonations were entertaining parts of the program. These two ladles were with the Col- lege Sinzing Cirls for three seasons. Misses Loura Sherin and Orina Bren- ner, though not before the public as long as Miss La Sheck and Miss Cros- by, have splendid ability, possess en- personalities and are equaliy yersatile their accomplishments. The entertainment combined high vo- cal art with bright and amusing novel- ties, the program being as follows: Introductory—The Marigolds, P. S.

The presence of a conspicudusly yel- low and orange evening grosby member of the finch family, park Wednesday attracted the atten- tion of local bird loyers. The evening grosbeak 1s a casual winter visitor in northern Atlantic states, but its regu- lar range is in the interior of North America, and a resident from Manitoba northward. It is a common visitor in the winter in northwestern United Stateo and Mississippi valley. The bird seen in Wilcox park is about eight inches long, two Inches shorter than the robin. The forehead, shotlders and underneath are clear vellow and the side of the head, throat and breast olive brown. It has a crown tail, black wings with white secondary feathers, and a yellow blunt and heavy bill. In the winter of 1389-90 the eastern peop'~ had the rare privilege of becom- | ing acquainted with this common bird | of the northwest that in one of its erratic travels visited the New England states and as far south as Delaware in great numbers. The local gird lovers who saw the evening grosbeaks then remembered Tuesday how beautiful their plumage-—a rare winter tint— looked in the enow-covered trees, where small companies of the gentle and even tame visitors enjcyed the buds and sesds of the mapies, elders | and evergreens. i The funeral of Stephen T. Potter was held Wednesday from his home in Hope Valley and was attended by many rcla. tives and friends. There were beaut ful floral tributes, Including three links | & of white and yellow roses with a stand | of white tulips and lilles from the| Hope Valley lodge of Odd Fellows, a | square and compass in white and red | roses from the Masonic ‘odge and a large spray of Easter lilies from the Nichols & Langworthy Machine com- | pany. Mr. Potter was born in South | Kingstown 88 years ago and resided in Hope Valley for many years and the| greater part of the time was forem: of the Nichols & Langworthy Machine c:ll'nplny until the change in owner- ship. Mr. Potter had been in failing health | for a long time, but his final and se ous illness was of short duration. Two weeks ago he was operated upon and one of his toes amputated, but id not | § result in the expected relief He is| survived by Mrs. Potter and two sons, John H. ana Stephen C.
