By May Christie. Copyright, 1990, by The Prem Publishing Co, (The New York Brening Wort.» BW YORK is cosmopolitan. But there are other American cities thet are ‘When visiting Boston recently 1 “English” city with New York. ‘And many striking differences rose up. No one could ever call New York “prim.” No one could designate gay, fasting New York as “conservative.” But it seems to me that the real old Bostonians regari the modern ‘Mmerican dances, jazz included, as something rather dreadful. T attended a college ball in Boston, and there youth prevailed. Youth lowes noise and jollity. But it struck me as though some of the chaperons around the walls were cying us critically and saying to themselves: “The modern dances tend to be a trifle vulgar!” Before I went to Boston I was assured that I would find Bostonians rather cold, detached, and just a shade “superior.” I was also told that I would find them lacking in emotional expression. nothing of the sort. y compared that |- Waiters, Commonly Called Bandits, Frown Upon the Cigarette in Boston “You won't cet under their skins at afl,” I was assured—a phrase which seemed somewhat curious, but which I have now learned to comprehend. “Well, I found nothing of the sort. The Bostonians are a cordial people—those I wan lucky enough to meet. But they didn’t have the hail- fellow-well-met manner of your typical New Yorker, ‘Though cordial, they undeniably do a little mental summing-up of the viaitor. It ts easier to impress the New Yorker than it is to impress the Bos- tonian. The Bortonian is so very “cultured.” I didn’t see any woman smoking in a pubMe restaurant in Boston. If any woman presumed to do such a thing I understand she would be gently but firmly rebuked by the “maitre-d’hotel,” and her cigarette removed! ‘Washington I found “exclusive.” As I was lucky enough to have friends in the diplomatic and the army set, Washington was nice to me. Money does not count in Washington as it does in New York City. Philadelphia is counted “slow” when lined up beside New York, Well, perhaps, in this comparison, there is some truth. But I like the home-life of the Quaker City, the country olubs, the pretty suburbs, and the dear, old-fashioned quaintness of Independence Square. Philadelphians, I notice, though they assume indifference to New York, Jove to run over to the gay city “just to do @ little shopping, and a show.” “A few days in New York" tg something that they thorougniy enjoy.
