book THE Long Night" Is laid IN

incurred the everlasting gratitude of
the Geneyans, and they have sent him
an Illuminated address In which occurs

mans name with their notable man,
Calvin. is a great honor for Mr.. Wey-
man.

occupied, we are told, "the great Smith
mansion on Beacon street" Now, Of
course, there is only one Beacon street,
and that Ia In Boston. Also, there are
very good reasons for thinking that
Miss Smith may have been a Vassar
graduate, on account OF the interest
which graduates OF that institution
have always taken In the problem of
Domestic service.
