...Boston Pops Concerts, which, under Mr. Fiedler's lively baton, carries on nightly with overtures, semi-classical favorites, and light tone-poems. The audience listens lightly and lolls around tables guzzling beers. Tonight Mr. Fiedler's gentleman present their standard gourmand's fare. Music like Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," interesting harmonically but otherwise dull, the Brahms Fifth Hungarian Dance, and the unbreakable Blue Danube Waltz, are there for those who can still bear them.

After several years of puttering, he invented a big machine which fills 3,000 coffee cans an hour with such vapor...
...streamlined bit of old-world charm, the monastery is furnished with the ultra-modern frugality which is considered chic in profaner abodes. White stucco-walls of a peculiarly warm tone, a few austere paintings (not all religious), and plain dark furniture (not all antique) are as suitable to monkish taste as to "The Home Beautiful." The brothers' wholesome fare is supplied from a flashy kitchen with air exhaust, at a cost of 141/2 cents per meal (attention Harvard Dining Halls). Their cells are considerably smaller, but lighter and cleaner than those across Boylston Street. Enterprising fathers can climb...
