building and it was one isle down the
center and on each side are stalls and
every one Is owned by a different man
and all numbered. There were l3l and
they were selling everything one could
think OF that you can eat and every
man yelling ''buy here" 1t surely
was great, and now | know what Bos-
ton marketing means.
We passed the Old South church and
the old State House. The State House
is SO old and worn looking and is used
for offices now it has the eagle on the
top, We passed the Kings Chapel,
spoken of in "Scarlet Letter" and the
cemetery, and don't you remember
where they lead this scarlet letter girl
out on the Boston common for her
trial. This church has the oldest pipe
organ in America. Across the street
from this chapel is a cemetery of old
history days, Paul Revere, the three
%signers oil the "Declaration of Indepen-
dence, etc. This is right in the heart of
the business part of the city. Boston
people are very patriotic and wouldn't
disturb anything hat belonged to our
noble heroes.
Well, the first thing We did was to 60
under the Boston harbor, across to East
Boston, through the new tunnel. This
has only been completed about a year
and is a grand piece OF work. We came
back on the ferry about a five minute
ride. Now can you imagine a tunnel
under the water clear across the harbor.
That picture on the postal | sent
shows how you go under and come back
on the ferry.
Its a wonder Boston don't cave in.
There is a subway and then a subway
under that; ground surface and then
elevated systems. The subway stations
are called squares one was Scolley
Square and the other that particularly
struck my eye was Hay Market
Square"
Well now we are home and talking
most of the night.
Sunday morning we are off for church
at the old North church and after the
sermon we climbed to the top OF this
church where the Sexton hung the two
lanterns for Paul Revere on the night OF
his famous ride. We could see where
he rode to spread the alarm. Pau
ReYere's picture is on the plate OF the
church. This church is situated in
the slums OF Boston and was a horrible
place to reach. Such a funny church
We saw the Bible called the Vinegar
Bible. Some latin word was misspelled
and formed this word Vinegar. Where
the Kings name appeared, we could
see where it was scratched out and put
down, "In the name of the President
where it had been "In the name CT the
name of the King" Also saw where
the old fellow used to sit with his long
pole and poke all who went to sleep.
The minister preached from a pulpit
that was as high as the gallery.
We are home to dinner now and
meet Zula's uncle and another young
fellow and after dinner we 90 to the
Art Gallery and then the public
library which is grand and then We
board a train for home and Monday all
