A Boston Notion

THAT WOULD BE LIKELY TO RECEIVE A HEARTY
WELCOME ELSEWHERE.
Anything which promises a maximum OF comfort
In the household with q minimum OF labor, is
worthy OF investigation says the Congregation
dfist, and we have, therefore, been interested in
examining a new system for furnishing families
with hot meals, ready cooked, which has been
introduced lately into Boston. Provided the edi-
bes Can be delivered promptly, and in satisfactory
condition, there is no Inherent reason why soups,
salads and roasts should not be supplied from out
side sources as well 80 bread, butter, and milk.
With this idea In mind there has been organized
the Boston Food supply Company which engages
to send out meals, either singly or by the week.
From a central Kitchen In charge OF experienced
cooks, the food is placed In metallic compartment
box, and sent out In heated vehicles each family
having a separate box. There is also a refrige-
rating vehicle Tor the class OF food requiring 10 be
kept cold. OF course the success OF any such plan
depends upon the arnount OF patronage which it
receives; out It's advantages, especially In the
summer season, are obvious, AS IL saves not only
heat and fuel but dispenses with the services OF a
cook. IL Is proposed TO try the experiment sum-
mer resorts. The method OF delivery and the con-
structon OF the carriages are altogether novel, but
the germ or the plan has existed In foreigu cities
for some years, and has been tried, In q m0dined
form, In New York. The seclusion which lt secures
10 the family will commend itself 10 those who
feel that boarding is detrimental 10 the best
1nteres or domestic life. and IL certainly Is capa-
bic or becoming an important factor In the s0lu-
lion OF the ServAll-girl question.

The furnishings Of O house usually partake

Things We're what they professed to be; they
were 'real." A bookcase was not bedstead,
They were not RocOco nor Louis Quatorze, nor

10 the needs and conditions OF their owners. The
men and women educated under these influences
had an earnestnesS and sincerity OF purpose that
made them the backbone and slnew OF q great ma

OF what is genuine and LOFTY In art Nearly every
American artist OF recognized fame was brought

invaluable allies OF inherent genius.
Foreign travel and the American tendency to
admire whatever Is new has gradually revolution
tied our dwellings,. Millionalres and cattle kings
have ransdcked Europe for art treasures for their
palaces; skilled workmen have reproduced the
luxurious trappings OF every luxurious age, and
artists OF all descriptions have given their best ef

OF perjury pending against Sarah de Neale colored
growing out OF the investigation OF the cell brated
divorce case OF Banker Rawson, in Chicago and
asked that the case be finally disposed OF.
Mr.. shepherd stated that the case was heard by
Judge Smell, who did not dispose OF It; that the
grand jury subsequently heard the witnesses and
ignored the charge. He said that he had evil
dence TO offer, and was willing to have the charge
dismissed for want OF prosecution. AT the suggeS-

conclusion was reached that 1t was q trophy OF
