The girls are dressed like the most stunning French actresses, the bouse furnished Hke sptendld gambling bouses. It's all gold and yellow bro cade, and little ladles are like French shop boys, and the houses are all a new that the walls are not even pa pered, and on the walls ln the midst of the hangings of brocade and the enormous gold frames and mirror you see little twopenny piotures and color ed prints." Two months later be wrote from Bui tlmore: "Now 1 have seen three great cities Boston. New York. Philadel phia. I think I like them all mighty well. They seem to be not so civilized as our'Londou, but more so than Man chester and Liverpool. At Boston is very good literature company indeed.
