TO matter what may be true OF
nj other towns, the Boston hotels
are different. II like the Quincy
House for its sea fud," said an
Old legislator from Sandisfield more
than forty years ago. and as for the
fremont House turn the pages OF your
American Notes and recall the praise
that Charles Dickens gave that not to
be forgotten hosiery. 1t was one Of
the very few things in the earlier Amer
lea that did not seem to excite his entire
contempt.
The fremont House has gone-it dis
appeared under the advance of modernity
in the serpentlike guise OF the first SUBJ
way in America creeping down In 'front.'
OF il. But other hotels of the old Bos-
ton remain a plenty, the staid Revere
House, Parker's. Youngs, the Adams
House-age seems to have mellowed but
not leSsened their comforts to the
traveller Where else can one find

beside his dresser when he retires TO the
privacy of his room, not library
Crammed with best sellers" like these
itinerant institutions on the limited
trains, but filled with real books Of a
far more solid sort-tchere else such
wisdom on tap in a tavern but Boston?
And If the traveller fails to be schooled
to such possibilities we might ask where
else in Christendom can he get boiled
sCrod or Washington pie or fish balls
or cod tongues with bacon or that
Magma Charta Of the New England ap-
petite. that Plymouth Rock from which
has come all the virtues of its sturdy
folk baked beans with brown bread?
Eating In Boston Is good. In these
things it is superlative. And 1t Is
pleasing to know that Boston's newest
hotel-the Copley PlaZa-perhaps the
finest hotel in America, since 1t has dis
carded new fashioned details for the
old-observes the traditions of the town
in which 1t truly earns It's bread and
butter.
The owl still comes on cloudy,
troubled nights and sits in a high tree
limb above the quiet graves in the
graveyard Of Kings Chapel. When he
comes he sees the hardest Of the Boston
men, carrying the green bags that their
daddles and their granddaddies before
them carried, as they go slipping down

COMFORT ON WASHING DAY
Simple Device Does Away With the
Constant STOPPING That Is Pain
full and Injurious,

The busy housewife often complains
Of baclache after washing day; this
IS, as rule, not due to the washing
Of the clothes, hut to the continual
stopping down to the clothes basket
when putting out or gathering in the
clothes. This disagreeable pain could
be saved by simply tying the basket
to an old small table with four legs,
the basket could be nailed down. but
If tied 1t could then be used without
the legs by simply untying the string
at both sides.
The strings will easily thread
through the wicker Of the basket, and
a hook could be screwed at each side

How Reign Of Tight Skirts

BY MARY DEAN.

The amount of underwear worn by
a fashoinably dressed woman at any
one time has, during the last TWO sea
sons, diminished almost to negli-
gible quantity, but the designers have
done their best with the handicap and
have produced undergarments that
are dainty and beautiful.
With the threatened return OF full
skirts and draperies and normal waists
there will presumably be an accom-
panying revolution in lingerie. The

are usually made of crepe dc chine and
