236 COFFEE 



coffee-houses were Whig or Tory. In coffee-houses with Royal 

 sympathies, one finds the photographs of the Royal family. On the 

 walls of coffee-houses with Republican sympathies, one finds the 

 pictures of eminent Republicans. In all Greek coffee-houses, one sees 

 pictures of Greek battle-ships, usually in the process of sinking a 

 Turkish warship, and copies of paintings which depict the historical 

 5».nd intellectual attainments of the Golden Age of Greece. 



There are several coffee-houses in the Central Square region of 

 Cambridge, Massachusetts, not of the true type but existing in com- 

 bination with public pool-rooms. Consequently, they have a less 

 desirable trade and environment than those of Nashua, New Hamp- 

 shire, and some other manufacturing centers. I have visited the 

 following Cambridge establishments: EWeviKov Kappeveiov Kat 

 ApL(TTepLov TO Evoais at 792 Main Street ; Kappeveiov llevevais at 769 

 Main Street; and EWeviKov Xevodox^tov to Kappeveiov EXXas at 502 

 Massachusetts Avenue. I found them less popular than the pool- 

 rooms notwithstanding the fact that they provided a place for dis- 

 cussion as in coffee-houses of the pure type. 



In Boston, one still finds coffee-houses of the pure type. At 36 

 Kneeland Street, one sees the sign:
