rescue of several wOrkmen on the
pier, who were caught off from the
land end, where the fire had started,
and another desperate fight by
the firemen to keep flames from a
small shed i'm which were stored sew
eral hundred gallons Of gasoline.

A SMART FROCK FOR
SIMPLE OCCASIONS

Such frocks as this belong among
the list of the "needful." They are
available for every day occasions and
they ill an important place in the
wardrobe This season a great vari-
ETY. of materials are used for their
making Simple silks are liked, the
wool fabrics are amazingly beautiful
and there are a great many novelties
that combine silk and wool that are
most attractive Trimmings also vary
a great deal. We use contrasting
fabrics TO a great extent, fiat bra.ds
are liked and various little plaitings
and finishes of the kind are quite cor
rect. The waist is tucked to give
the most becoming lines to the figure
and can be made with either long or
elbow sleeves. II is closed invisibly
at the back but the plain five gored
skirt is closed directly at the center
front beneath the trimming The
band on the waist however, provides
the essential continuous line and, as
the two garments are separate. they
will be easily adjusted. The pointed
line Of the chemisette makes an i'm
portant feature for Il allows effective
use OF graduated frills. The long
sleeves are quite plain and such are
smart this season. but the elbow
seleves are made in sections that are
oyerlapped and they can be finished
with or without the under sleeves.
For the medium size, the waist will
require IA yards of material 27
9 yards 36 or "A inches wide with 3-4

collar and yards of lace for the

Boston Is a small city in area. but
emits a vast amount of intellectual at
mosphere. being full of universities in
stltutes and high brow gvmnasia Of All
sorts This causes it to look coldIv on
the rude west and its people never
weary OF expressing in the most beau
tliul solid mahogany language their
entire content with Boston. If a man
hasn't string of degrees after his name
which looks like the tail of kite. he Is
received coldly in Boston. and il
compelled to help govern the CITY for a
living. Boston is run in the same GA
familiar way, and the third degree is the
only degree with which its politicians
are familiar
Boston has other peculiar prides. too
A Boston man never tows his visitors
around to see a 20-story office building
or 4O-aere factory. He talks about its
public library and its ornamental river
banks, its old churches, and its grave
yards, and its history. Boston is so
full OF history that parts of the city
are almost paved with brass memorial
plates, while its graveyards are fun of
famous old patriots, and the newcomer
who IS not related to some prominent
tombstone, stands a poor chance indeed.
Boston abOunds in-chimuey pots, ivy.
street ears, spectdeles, hallowed soil and
old residences which are trying to dis /
gulse themselves as store buildings. Its
only skyeraper is Bunker Hill monu- I
