Boston is not to be represented by
a fiaring red label and a pot OF pre-
sumably superb Boston baked beans,
says the Post of that city. That is,
only partially will she be represented

Certain Of the clubwomen of the city
have faithfully considered the city's
reputation Of culture and quality and
have decided that it would be folly to
send out stickers giving the vulgar
world to understand that our culture
lay In the baking of beans.
Delegates from all the women's
patriotic societies met Wednesday
afternoon in the Twentieth Century
club and discussed things connected
with the celebration of Old Home week
in Boston.
The Indian sign was put on the
mayors pet baked-bean stickers.
II was suggested that a sticker bear
ing a representation of Faneuil hall be
used instead and at this point Thomas
Anderson of Mayor Fitzgeralds pub
licity bureau arose and made haste to
explain that the quick ones had been
quicker to see that the baked.beans
stickers had fallen fiat and that stick
ers of a more dignified character we're

Neat little bundles of the pot and
beans stickers were passed around,
but the delegates gracefully repudiated
them by saying that they guessed they
would wait until the Faneuil hall kind
made their appearance.
