other a past member of the High School, re-

man in his Back Bay residence and he most
kindly accorded to them a few moments of his
valuable time. There was a common bond

the Doctors writings having studied them in
school and they found the writer the soul of
humor. The half hour will be to them, a life
long memory. Among other things. Dr.
Holmes was sorry that he had not six feet to
show them. Most folks would think that two
would do for a man, but the Wit referred to
his stature. Of course, the girls did not over-
stay their welcome and when they went away,
the Doctor might have said, perhaps he did
say, "Good Day girls".
