thence proceeded to the cosey blue dining
room attached to the state suite where his
honor, Mayor Hart, had invited him to par
take OF luncheon, to which various repre-
sentatives of the city were invited at 4 o'clock

boring % persons. The affair was entirely
informal and was marked by quiet cordially.
At the close of the repast the presidential
party returned to their rooms and prepared
for the suburban drive rendered by the city.

tiful part of Bostons environs, the start be-
ing made from the Vendome at 5:25. From
