Boston I'm Winter.

Mrs. Mary A. McGregory, well-known TO 8
large circle OF friends in this city, entertained
foodly company at Plymouth Institute on
Wednesday evening by recounting the exps-
riences OF her winters visit in Boston.
Those who listened felt that she had lear ed
The art OF using time well, and that ''the best
Part OF a journey was, indeed, getting home"
where one could bring to the friends who
remained behind so many coed words aud
tell them in such smooth aud retned style
as did Mrs. McGregory in her paper.
As the familiar names of i. w. Higinsol,
James Freeman Clarke, Edward Everett II ale
Ednsh ID. Cheney i izabeth Peabody, Julia
Ward Howe DR.. Bartol, Mrs. Livermore and
Others were mentioned and some of their
valuable thoughts and suggestions retold we
almost fancied ourselves in Boston audi
ence.
Lowell! Institute, peculiarly Boston in.
stitution, and the New England Womsn's
Club were described at sone length. While
tie account Of the former was being given
those present could not help thinking that
to btqueath lecture fur Il TO a community
wss, perhaps. one OF toe ways in which a
a.eh man might do it the most good with his
morey.
Els. HcGregory told OF the various other
places and organizations to which she had
access. leaving her bearers with the convi,.
ton that the intellectual life OF Boston was
based upon good deeds. brotherly love and
well ordered homes. Many of those wno,s
writings instruct and entertain people
throughout the land, willingly give their
time and er coursging words to lift up those
less fortunate among whom they live.
