THE LOT OF THE BOARDER.
How 1t Has Bcen Bettered in Recent
Years.
From the New York Post.

From the New York Post.
In nothing is New York's growth and
modification of interests more plainly
marked than in the evolvement of her
boarding houses, an evolvement that has
kept pace with the piing up of the tall
buildings, the multiplication of telephone
wires. and the augmenting of many right
at-your-eIbow conveninecs supplied to an
INDUCED and exacting generation. And the
boarding-house is a factor in the city's life
worth considering, since more people board
in New York, and board longer than in
any city of the union; more people, hail
ing from more places, and bent on more
and various missions and businesses, than
fall 10 the lot of any other American city.
For reasons diverse but not beyond the
