 From the Boston Saturday Evening Gazettel
 Boston girls much maligned. Don't all wear eyeglasses. Don't live on Greek roots. Do talk something besides ''culchah." Like theaters; like operas; ice cream same as other girls. Saturday afternoon streets full of pretty girls. Washington street, Fremont street to Temple place best observation ground Brunettes with bangs; same with out bangs. Blondes with frizzes ditto with false fronts. Pretty girls, homely girls; also dignifed and lady-like girls; others not so dignifed or refined.
 Ladies of the monde, dignifed, stately and exclusive. Would attract attention any where. Native dignity evinced in bearing Not easy to become acquainted with. When ice is broken, one finds the charming woman. They instinctively abhor anything loud or common in men or own sex. Liberal in their views to certain extent. Careful match makers. Like young men well vouched for. Mammon worshiped less than pedigree. Charity more sincere here than in Gotham there it is fashionable. Styles here not so great as in New York. Really handsome and fashionable equipages not common here. However, something real and solid about Boston swells Full dress less frequent with Bostonians Decollete dresses less SO here than in other fashionable centers. Fewer femme daffaires here than in many capitals Literary and social qualities happily com bined Children of fashionables tastefully dressed; no absurd display or overlooking Many ladies' dresses said to have been de- signed after picturesque costumes of chil- dren
 Women of middle class very intelligent Many engaged teachers, eopyists, or in other light pursuits. The vacations require small incomes. Nc false show. No false pretences to be kept up. Great good sense. Commands sensible mans respect. Excess of women over men noticeable. Forget the exact number. Believe $500 in whole State. Boston wives much to be admired Domes- tic and quiet by nature. Fond of their hus- bands; strange facts nowadays. Few elope- ments and scandals here. Divorce among the upper class not common. Married hirts
 in New York society plenty; fact lamented by girls. Here they are rare Boston women perhaps, inclined to be hysterical and victims of nervous diseases. Good thing for physi- clans. East winds enough to give anyone fits. Still, many specimens of perfect physi- cal health. Many women in moderate cir cumstances let rooms. Certain quarters of the city, every house has rooms to rent. Never saw such city for that. Not bad plan. Helps husbandssto house rent free. Gives single men comfortable lodgings. Often get home comforts in this way. Show ladies don't mind 8 little extra trouble. Much to their credit. Shop girls and work ing girls of Boston misrspresented. Clean, neat, attractive, and in many instances charming girls. Appearance on the street lady-like. Behind counters polite and attrac- tive. Compare favorably with those of any city. Particularly bright and agreeable to trade with. A pleasure to walk down Wash ington street at 6ocloek. Then crowds of pretty, modest girls go home from work. Pay here no worse than in other cities. Shop girls put in false light often; also other work ing girls. Young women who don't work, can't work, and wouldn't work if they could, make false claims. Pretend to be working girls Attract attention. Make talk. Many people remember proverb, "Ab uno dis ce omnes." Bad plan. One empty head, silly and hirtatious on street-harm done to one hundred honest girls. As for Boston's domestics, little can be said. Some good; some bad. Many live in families many years. Speak well for mistress. A well bred lady can keep servants; an ill-bred one changes once week. Swedes and Nova Scotians favorites; also P. E. I. s. Good ladies' maids
