Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Ever since Samantha went to Saratoga, sightseeing" letters have been written, but here goes just one more. To begin at the beginning, spent most delight ful summer in Bay View, Mich. and had splendid success with my Chautauqua dates in Michigan and Wisconsin. I came to New Work via the great lakes, swith a stop in Niagara Falls. enjoyed most of all the day run from Albany Ito New York down the Hudson |river. The scenery along the Hudson is perfectly beautiful. While i'll New York 1 enjoyed Iday in West Point, Catskill and lAridondack mountains and had the pleasure of visiting Vassar College in Poughkeepsie.
 I like New York, but 1t is so big you don't know where to look first, bnd its most worth your life to keep from getting run over. When ] first went up on Fifth avenue md Broadway 1 had to stop and Ask: Where in the world do all these people eat and sleep"
 Six weeks ago I came to Boston rom New York by steamer-a lays run over the Fall river line bn the exquisite Priscilla" with stop over in Newport and Provi lence, Rhode Island. On my ar ival in Boston I was fortunate nough to be met by my good fiends, Miss Bowman and Mrs. Anderson (once teachers in Gen. ral College), who had already nade all necessary arrangements pr my stay in Boston at the New England Conservatory of Music nd Elocution, and for private les pms with Lelan Powers in the rurrey School of Expression.
 Most all girls and women in Bos- pn are gray-headed. 1 asked why bis was and MT. Powers told me ecause they studied so much. l anne here to study. too, but there so much to see and go to, that l ] ardly think I will return with hy gray hairs, caused from over fork.
 Sightseeing" has interested le more than anything else. To hy am delighted with Boston pesn't half express it. It is in eed an ideal place and we'll de- irves its name-"The Hub of the inverse. . The atmosphere is i've with culture and refinement i'd 1t is center of artistic, liter y and education life.
 Boston has more of historical in- rest than any other place in the prld. The public library is me for all students. Bordering Ppley Square you see the verdant bile gardens, which art and na- fe have combined in making so autiful. A street divides the bile gardens from Boston Com bn, GAS acres, ) where the British illery was stationed during the ge of Boston and mustered be- e Bunker Hill.
