 This is emigration week." The country boarding houses and hotels are receiving their annual storage of city people. The carpets have been cover ed with cotton cloth the furniture with it's white coverings, presents ghostly appearance the silver has been sent to the salty vault and there's smell of cam phor every where. The cook receives the market man in the basement, and the second-girl coos with the policeman in the front hall. The summer landlord rubs hands at the sight of the in-com- ing harvest, the hotel clerk buys big ger diamond than the one which adorn- ed his shirt front last season, and with majestic dignity welcomes the city seek CT after health, rest and recreation.
 Boston is particularly rich in subur ban resorts. Winthrop, Revere Beach, Nahant and Swampscott on the north !; Hull, Nantasket Beach and Cohasset on the south, and hundred summer lights of lesser magnitude scattered in between and beyond. For days trip one can have grand time at these "Water- Edens," for few dollars, but to stay $ week one must carry bank vault in his pocket, and months recreation would drain treasury.
 But the city is by no means likely to be deserted The number of people who leave the city for the summer would hardly be noticed in the big di- re ctory of stay-at-homes. In some of my coming letters will give you sketches of trips along the shores of the Massachusetts coast.
 So-called-art, rather than beauty with it's natural ar tistic lines, is holding an ovcrpowing sway over many people. The days of decorating tomato cans and old backing bottles have passed, but in its place is taste hardly less sensible. Ancient bric-a-brac, old chairs, old ta- bles, anything that is old, useful or not useful pretty or homely, must adorn the parlor or chamber. And yet the la- dies who will make a junk-shop of their apartm ents are most particular about the harmony of the dress fixing and col ors. Everything must match, even the poodle dog; and by the way St Der. nard dogs, small en ough to be carried to day and big enough to carry theil mistress tomorrow, are all the style their yellow hair matching splendidly with the prevailing color. But speak ing of art, one of Boston's grandest re- tail stores has waiting room which is designed and decorated to the perfection of modern art, or lack of art. An old lady from down east, while shopping, en- tered this showy room with friend.
 ''This," said the city lady, ''is con sidered the finest thing of the kind in the country, and I suppose it costs as much as, or more than, some of the nicest
 houses in your town. It's grand now
 isn't it?"
 Well" answered the country lady, "]
 do hate to tell you just what I think
 of course don't know art, but all ca1
 think of is one of them bronze, gilt cag
 es they keep the wild beasts in, in tn,

 There was more real good common
 sense in the remarks of our countr,
 friend than one could pick up in mos art rooms in a week.
 The "New Departure religious ques
 tion is still exciting the churches An dover Seminary and Dr Newman Smitl
 have host of thinkers, while Rev M Cook is by no means deserted in his ur holding of the old fashioned faith. Exact ly what the real difference is between tn
 two, no man has as yet been able to giv an universally satisfactory answer. Tn ssNew Departure" people claim to b Orthodox, and the old school assert ths
 the new way of thinking is by no mean | true Orthodoxy. The war is friendl 5 one, and likely to continue so, on ) branch tolerating the other. In realit it's battle in a teapot, for in essentia v both agree, while they may differ in opil ] ions of unimportant items.
