Boston Letter to the Providence Journal
There are a number of queer hang
ers-on upon the literary society OF
Boston of whom it would not be diff
cult to draw portraits more or less
amusing were 1t not that they would be
too readily recognized. The lengths
to which some of these persons will 90
TO procure invitations is sufficiently
entertaining, although somewhat hui
miliatir2 as well. a woman who
aspires to be one of the blue stockings
Of the Hub, hut who labors under the
disadvantage OF not being able to find
a publisher sufficiently daring to al
front the public with herlucubrations,
once desired a card to a reception
which was TO be given in honor OF an
English lion OF the first magnitude.
Being at a semi-public gathering, where
was also present the lady who was to
