II is given out that the ninth floor

eleventh floor front TO get those three

| furniture coming 10 fit up those three
eleventh floor front rooms, and furni.
ture costs money so ex-Chairman Nc
Nary says, and he ought to know. But
when those three eleventh floor front
rooms are fitted up with new furni-
ture, new stenographers and new
executive secretary somebody will
have had TO dig down deep for some
OF that real money which isn't at all
easy this year in either camp.
The Harvard summer school affords
many people an opportunity to take
one or more Harvard college courses
during six weeks in the vacation sea-
son, and very nearly 1000 teachers
and others from all over the United
States take advantage Of this oppor-
tunity.
Recognizing the fact that there are
many young men and women in Bos-
ton and vicinity who have not had
the. advantages OF college educa-
tion, and who work days, but would
like an opportunity 10 take one or
more OF the college or university
courses evenings during the winter
season, the Lowell institute last year
put into operation "A plan, which is
to be continued this year, by which
two or three courses are given eve
nings, free of charge, identical with
! those given at Harvard.
They are given in conjunction with
the Harvard university faculty. Those
who receive certificates in these
courses will be allowed by Harvard
university and Radcliffe college to
count the same toward the degree OF
A. B.
The courses will begin in October
and continue until June. Detailed In
formation may be obtained by ad'
dressing the trustee OF the Lowell In
stitute, S43 Exchange building, state
street, Boston, Mass.
Smith Is still the leader In the Bos-
ton directory, although Sullivan is
annually lowering the figures between
the first and second places. BY the
1908 edition 1t appears that the Smith
family has retained it's pre-eminence
as the most populous article in To-
cal nomenclature. The bearers of the
patronymic of Sullivan rank a stur-
dy second.
There are IA IL pages OF Smiths,
but old John Smith is not so numer-
Gus as he used to be. The Smiths
have been steadily turning from John
to other names, so William now leads
John, while even George outranks the
former favoorite appellation of this
prolific family. To properly register
and identify the Sullivans IL IL pages
are required. John, james, Timothy
and William are the names most in
vogue with the Sullivans, although
the Patricks and Michaels need not
be lonely.
Murphy holds the third place. but
Brown is only short distance be-
hind. Kelley (Kelly) and Johnson are
tied for fifth. AS might be expected
the Johnsons have clung tenaciously
to John as a Christian name, and any,
one seeking John Johnson in Boston
has to pick his man out from a page
of companions.
II is TO expected that there would
be those born to the name OF Boston,
and there are six, four men and two
women. Their names are mixed in
among the corporation names.
Looking at the signs on the build
ings along some of the city streets
makes one think the doctors const-
tute a large percentage OF the popu-
lation. Physicians, however, cannot
cope with the lawyers on count OF
heads, for there are only 1871 doctors
in the directory.
The publishers announce that
there are 291 ,022 names in the 1908 d.
rectory, and nobody so far has dis
puted the count. This total is l549
higher than that of last year.
For the week beginning Labor Day,
a bill has been arranged at Keith's
theatre, which in respect to headline
features and general excellence will
surpass anything given so far this sea-
son, Notwithstanding that the new idea
OF FIVE and one-half hours shows
has developed an entirely new inn
proved class OF entertainment. Un-
questionably, the most notable feature
is "The Love Waltz" Viennese light
opera, written especially for vaude-
Vile and following the line of the
waltz operas that are now the craze.
Sousa, the famous bandmaster, has
written new march IN celebration OF
the 9TH Greatest Boston Food Fair
which is to be given Mt the Park So.
