Changes In Boston.

In 1896 one of the suburbs of Bos-
ton was Newe Towne, which in 1888
was changed to Cambridge and as the
seat of Harvard university has an in
ternational reputation today. Since
the early lines were fixed Cambridge
obtained by annexation part Of
Charlestown, but has ceded land to
the towns of Waltham, Brighton, Wa
tertown, Belmont and West Cam
bridge, the latter now known as Ar.
lingtOn.
The Boston of 1880, called Tri-Moun-
tain. was very different from the Bos-
ton of today. It's area was not exten-
sive. although it included the larger
portion of Quincy, out OF which the
town of Braintree was made at a later
period The first anneXations to BoS-
ton were Noddles island QEast Boston,
and the territory now covered by Chel-
sea.
In 1910 Boston lost it's rights in Quin-
cy, which were acquired by the town
of Braintree. Subsequent additions to
Boston have been Roxbury, Dorches-
ter, West Roxbury, Brighton, Charles
town and part of Brookline.
AS an independent municipality
Charlestown, which was settled as
early as Boston, gave birth to Somer-
vile. Woburn, Maiden, Stoneham and
milford and furnished land to Cam,

The little woman paused Tor a mo-
ment and scanned the face of the
multimillionaire as earnestly as though
she had not devoted weeks in that pur.
suit.
| There was no ardent affection in tone
or look. Fairbain discussed the matter
with as much feeling as though he was
| discussing the making of some railroad
deal with his fellow magnates. He was
not the young lover, but the elderly
widower in need of a homemaker.
The girl--she was little more than
that-nodded her head in an affirma-
tive.
'I'll make the home for you, but not
as your wife. 1 am not a widow, you
seer
IT am married." continued the girl
hurriedly. 'I married when l was on
the stage. married a boy who never
had had a home, and 1 made one for
him-out here where nothing matters.
He was home hungry. l knew that
would spoil all his chances If I mar
ried him. also knew that he would
spoil his own chances if I didn't, so I
married him.
"After our boy was born-that was
the second year we were here-he
went back east and took a name that
was neither his nor mine to show his
father that he was able to work for
the woman he loved. am married to
your son, Mr.. Fairbain. guess you've
forgotten that Gregory married Martha
Bodington. From what Gregory told
me, you called me everything but my
right name at that last interview"
Perhaps did, was the shamefaced
reply. "I guess I did not know what
1 was saying, and Pm certain that I
didn't know the sort of a girl I was
talking about"
"We'l forget that now," offered
Martha. "Let the past be forgotten
for the sake of the boy"
'But Gregory?' asked Fairbain.
There" Martha pointed out over
the prairie, where the secretary was
to be seen riding across the section
with the mail.
"And Wilson is Gregory? You mean
TO say Ulun KNOW lny own DOy Wueu
1 hired him?" asked Fairbain, with a
chuckle "To think that all the time
he has been here I've been fretting
because I feared that you might learn
to love him. And all that time you
were married to him. I'm rather glad,
my dear, that made my second mar
riage by proxy, so long as you will
make a home for Greg and the boy
and me-"
Il was so afraid that you would rec
ognize Greg" said Martha as she re-
garded the tall figure of the secretary
with a look of frank admiration.
HE assumed an excellent disguise"
reminded Fairbain. Il never thought
to find my son a worker, my dear.
That's another thing 1 have to thank
you for" and Fairbain sighed with
relief. He had found a home while
retaining his domestic independence,
and the son for whom his heart cried
out was restored to him again.

NaIue of the Architect.

The members of a country club, the
building and decoration of whose club
house had been placed entirely in the
hands Of the architect, even to the mi
nutest furnishings, found themselves
in need of new window shades and
few other small household necessities.
Instead of buying the things them
selves. they sent for the architect to
come out and look things over and
order appropriate fittings.
'sThat is not at all an unusual case,"
said the architect. II can show you
houses that planned more than tWen-
ty-fve years ago that have never been
furnished with so much as a new
chair without my being consulted first
Having deferred entirely to my judg-
ment in the first place, those confiding
patrons are afraid to trust their own
taste in the smallest matter, and they
will probably continue to ask my ad-
vice in every little detail Of decoration
rs long as they occupy the house.

'There were just ordinary chairs for

chairs and asked questions about the
wood and how the chairs would wear
Then they bought the chairs and or

whom l was think of sitting down in

were comfortable. I dropped into a
furniture store not long afterward
and asked salesman about it, and I
wasn't surprised to learn that very

A Poets Breakfast.

CURED to the former to go and see
what the house was like first. He ar
rived at noon. RoSsetti was not up.
But on the table was his breakfast
six eggs on as many slices Of bacon.
The repast had been waiting some
time. The eggs were draining out their
lifeblood on the coagulating bacon
Rossetti came in in dressing gown
otherwise just as he had got out OF
bed. He sat down and "devoured the
plat like an ogre" Meredith sent him
a check for the quarters rent next day,
but he and the poet never kept house
together
