 Our party was given a day over at Niagara Falls our first view of the falls was just at sunrise when the train stopped and we went out on the beau tiful lawn overlooking this grand piece of Gods handiwork. We viewed the falls from every point and to say the sight is grand only expresses it mildly Our next stop was in Boston, one of the most historic cities in the union.
 We visited the following places: Bunker hill monument the old North church, in whose belIfry hung the lights on that memora ble night Of Paul Rev ere's ride in 1775.
 The silent city of the dead in which was buried so many of our noble sold iers and statesmen during the 17th cen tury; the navy yard at Charleston was of great interest; we saw number of large warships, the oldest one being the Constitution, or commonly known as "OId Ironsides." Cambrige, with it's beautiful grounds and buildings and it's 1000 boys. An annex has been adde1 for girls.
 We went through the subway, most wonderful underground street car road, several miles in distance.

The household and kitchen furniture which is indeed toe numerous to mention, was a perfect wonder to us all.
 We saw the little trundle bed in which the poet slept when a child; some of the dresses he wore when a baby; his library: the table on which he wrote many of his poems; his fav- orite chairs; we also saw his mother s cIo+bincr Tnucb of which she wore he fore he was born.
