The two girls had written, asking

much daintiness and prettiness and
exceedingly modest and lovely. so
much so that she was half afraid to
breathe in their presence, afraid she
might say or do something to shock
them, having lived for some years in
a Bohemian set. She drank the tea
they gave her and talked on different
topics which she thought would inter
est young girls. Finally one of the
girls, pointing to a cigarette stub in
an ash tray on the window sill, said
apologetically:
Il suppose that shocks you awfully,
doesn't it? 1t belongs to Stella. She
will smoke now and then"

years after the settlement of Boston,
according to the quaint records pre-

referendum was held as to whether
a part of the land should be alienated
