Boarding, ughl The very name sug-
gests cold chills, cold meals unless you
are in time, steak that was intended for
the man with the iron jaw, cheerless room
where the ceiling comes down TO shake
hands with the floor, to say nothing OF
insufficient light in the entries and whole
some air and ventilation. That kind OF
boarding is enough 10 drive men TO mar
riage and subsequently to light house
keeping-a box of matches and an oil stove
Ito escape from such baneful existence.
Mind you, am speaking now OF cheap
boarding houses with cheap food, cheap
help, cheap furniture and cheap boarders.
A man and wife WHO have made up their
minds that 1t is pleasanter TO board, TO
do away with the worry and care OF
housekeeping, the getting OF meals and
the continuous washing OF dishes, must
make up their minds that besides first
class hotel there is nothing else availa BILE
but first-class boarding house, and that
they cannot obtain satisfactory accommo-
dation unless they pay fair compensa-
tion for it.
There are different kinds OF boarding
houses, and the kinu TO avoid is the cheap
kind, the caterers TO transient guests and
gosslp-lovlng men and women. Good airy
rooms, wholesome well-cooked food, neat
table linen, and frequent changes OF bed
furnishings, plenty of towels, bath
room with supply of hot water always
handy, tank of ice-water in the hall
way, with a mind-your- business lot OF
people on the same floor, makes board
ing house desira bic TO particular boarders.
The Wheeler and Wilson sewing ma
chine, say the No. Is the most durable
and convenient piece of mechanism for
the purpose II was designed for, that you
can find in the market today You may
have a machine left at your house and
pay for II to suit your own convenience.
For particulars call at the salesrooms,
corner OF Snow and Westminster streets.
II makes all the difference in the world
whether the servants run the boarding
house, or the lady i'm charge. Everyb body
is not adapted TO manage a boarding
house. 1t is the popular belief you
know, that anybody can run hotel, a
boarding house or a newspaper, but that
is a delusion. The reason there are not
more first-class places where a man and
his wife can board for reasonable sum
in this city, is because there are so few
who really know how to conduct q first
class establishment.
Agnes Wallace Villa, and her sup
porting company are giving satisfaction
TO the patrons of the Pawtucket Opera
House this week in the interesting melo-
drama, entitled: "The World Against
Her,"
Some day I'm the near future, someone
with money will take a look over the field
and erect a large apartment house or COM
mopwealth hotel where married people
may have suites of rooms with all the pri-
vacy and advantages of housekeeping,
and at the same time combine with IL
the accommodations OF a hotel. having
one grand dining room, bell boy service
and everything desirable for reasona BILE
sum, say s25 or $50 week for man and
wife. The city Is growing and some-
thing of the kind will assuredly be de-
manded soon.
The Misfit Parlors. 199 Westminster
street, have Just placed some extraordina-
ry values on their counters for fall trade.
The wife who is boarding has the best
o. the wife who Is housekeeping and do
ing her own work. In the former in
stance the wife washes no dishes, makes
no beds, sweeps no rooms, and ia free
from the exasperating carelessness, not
TO say wastefulness OF servants. She
reads, sews, sleeps, and takes life easy as
she ought TO. The husband only asks in
return for his efforts in the business
world, that his wife have a pleasant word
for him when he comes home, or the
place he calls home, that she be becom-
ingly attired and IL she be shrewd, be care
full not TO infiict him with a lot OF cheap
gossip, which in no way interests him.
The clown in the circus says fine board
Is saw dust.
Newly. married couples do not like to
go to boarding houses. They had rather
assume the responsibilities OF housekeep-
ing. They have great fun the first several
months, but as years roll on and things
become more real than ever, then the
home where woman is queen, where chill
dren make merry, where 1t is only neces-
sary to cater TO your own welfare and
desires, instead OF those,people you care
nothing about, becomes the place II was
intended for, and boarding. is out OF
the question. OLD VET.
