Man Protests.

The following letter was, recently
sent to the New York Sun:
In Thursdays Sun l find a clipping

that this custom has been adopted by
the ladies of the Quaker City because
it is of Partisan importation. l am
sure, and Philadelphia cannot have
anything in common with Paris. l
do not assert positively that Paris
women first introduced the custom,
but l know that some years ago while
in Paris did as other visitors did, and
still do, and one night went over to
the Latin Quarter to see what could
be seen at the Students Ball. During
my visit l talked with a couple of
pretty girls, one of whom l asked II

The history of the old Fiss hotel
and that of the Seven Stars is wnien-
largely upon the same lines as is that
of their more noted predecessor. They
have long been popular roadhouses
and the FiSs hotel was for long time
one of the best known stopping places
on the run between Philadelphia and
New York in the old coach days. The
Seven Stars is popular to-day because
of its prominent situation in the tri-
angular corner where the old Oxford
pike runs into Frankford avenue.
The jolly Post, however, is worthy
of special description because of the
fact that it is the oldest hostelry of
Frankford. and because OF it's many
quaint traditions. 1t stands on the
west side of Frankford avenue, a
short distance above Orthodox street,
and has been known for over cen.
tury and a half by the name of jolly
Post. 1t has long been famous bit
of property.
During the period prior to the revo-
lution-according to local historians
while the patriotic feelings of the
residents of Oxford township were
fully aroused, the jolly Post was the
scene of frequent gatherings and
warm discussions between the lib
,erty-loving colonists and the tories.

The Old Cross Keys was one of the
best-known of the colonial inns. 1t is
now over $50 years old, having been
built in 1851. Historians tell us that
during the colonial period it was the
custom of the mail coaches running
between Philadelphia and New YORK
to stop at the Cross Keys inn, which
became famous the country round Tor
it's noted gatherings. During the revo-
luton it was still further brought into
prominence as the rendeZve-s OF both
colonial and British officess.
Naturally there are many interest
ing traditions in connection vita
"The Old Cross Keys" 1t is said that
Gen. George Washington on one oc-
casion, while riding along with sew
eral of his staff, dismounted and
sought rest within the hospitable
walls of the old inn; and. as the story
goes. the immortal commander of the
revolutionary armies partook OF
poultry dinner, as only hungry man
can, and washed it down with bottle
of rare old wine from tae cellar OF the
Keys" which was noted for the
quality of its old wines.
During the og-cahin-hard-cider
campaign of 1S4o political discussions
of importance took place in front of

We multiply new prohibitions and

avail are they when the very evil to

wallowing in the dust of neglected
laws, a mass of dust without life or
vigor.
Truly "our transgressions and our
sins are upon us, and we pine away
in them" How shall we live? The
institutions which are in danger are
not only the institutions of this great
nation, the institutions of Heaven
provided to aid us in reaching eternal
life are crumbling. The laws which
have lent their congenial influence to
the immortal work of saving sinners;
laws upon which the welfare OF mil
lions through eternity, depends, under
God, upon their preservation, are be-

was made 10 eaange the name of the
old hotel to "Washingtons headquar-

retaining the original name was TOO
strong.
According to the numerous good
old stories told about the inn and It's
surroundings George Webster, who
took the place in 1907 gave the
Frankford fire company the corner OF
the property at orthodox street and
the turnpike for a fire house, ana
in 1917 they voted to pay him twenty
five cents a year rent for the ground
upon which the engine house stood.
During the days OF the old cavalry
companies they met for drill in the
yard of the inn.
For twenty years. from 1873, the
famous old Jolly Post was without a
tenant, and the Old place seemed
doomed to crunble away like the
