New York, July 12.-Dear Folks
Back from "Bosting." No, / should
have said, Having just returned
from most delightful Journey on
itinerary to the brain center OF the
universe" will endeavor to furnish
you with quill photogravure Of said
journey and its numerous incidents,
pertinent thereto.
All! those charming brown bread
and Boston baked beans. We arrived
at the most propitious moment-Sun-
day morning-when every native Of
Boston, or naturalized typical Boston
ian, would not dream of partaking Of
anything for Sunday morning break
fast but Boston brown bread and
baked beans. They look upon them
almost with reverence, and declare
| there is nothing in all the world to
compare with them, and in no place
but Boston can they be properly pre-
pared.
With a true Dodds enthusiasm Nett
and I ate them down, with an inward
conviction all the time that they
were not half as good as the old-fash-
toned baked beans we used to have at
home, and to my taste they were not
OF course, we never had the brown
bread at home, but for steady diet

The sail on the Fall River line of
steamers is a. most delightful one
indeed. The boats are very fne,with
every modern convenience or accom-.
mediation. An orchestra of eight or
ten pieces discourses sweet strains Of
music, both popular and classic, from
the time you set foot on the deck at
$3.50 in the evening, until about 1890
at night. The dining room is very
large and spacious and your meals

we pay in New York where we eat.

rooms were all sold out about a week

people that travel on that line, as it
carries the Four Hundred between
New York and Newport.
We were not very favorably inn
pressed with Boston proper, but its
suburban homes are great. Such
beautiful grounds and woods galore,
and fine drives. For the business

stay for services, as she was not

/ We visited the Public Library,
which has a number of noted mural
paintings on the walls and old relics,
&c. Visited Harvard college campus.

raise our patriotic spirit up about 800
feet enough to climb to the top by
winding stairs on sultry day, to
peek out of a little hole at the top.
That requires romance. We saw the

The streets in Boston are like the
