The address of the evening was by 
Rey. E. Hersey Brewster, of Norwood, 
formerly pastor of the Baptist church 
here. Mr. Brewster spoke on ‘‘ The 
Evolution of the Flag.’’ He traced the 
evolution of the flag from the first ensign 
which bore a serpent cut into 13 pieces, 
with the. motto ‘“‘Join or Die” above, 
mentioning the emblems that succeeded, 
—the snake flag with the pieces of the 
serpent joined together, with the motto 
“Don’t tread on Me;”’ the stripes with 
the crosses of St. Andrew and St. George; 
and lastly the Stars and Stripes, recog-— 
nized as the, official emblem June 14, 
1777. 
These emblems, said the speaker, 
were not a matter of arbitrary selection, 
but were the fitting symbols of the con- 
ditions that prevailed during the several 
stages of colonial history. The new flag 
at once saw service, at once was forced 
to vindicate its right to live. It was un- 
furled in battle for the first time on Au- 
gust 17, 1777, at Fort Schuyler, Oneida 
Co., N. Y. It was about this time that 
John Paul Jones flung the Stars and 
Stripes at the masthead of the Ranger, 
and the seas became acquainted with that 
ensign which in the hands of such sea- 
men as Lawrence, Decateur, Farragut, 
Perry and Schley, was to be carried to 
all quarters of the globe. 
The speaker made three assertions 
with regard to the flag, first of which 
was that it is the best known of any flag, 
second, that it is the best beloved of any 
flag, third, that is the most consistant of 
any flag. te 
Mr. Brewster closed his address with 
a quotation from Roderick Drake’s poem 
‘* The el ee 
Flag of the frée heart’s hope, and home, 
By angel hands to valor given, 
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome 
And all thy hues were-born in heaven. 
Forever float that standard sheet! 
Where breathes the foe, but falls before us 
With freedom’s soil beneath our feet 
And freedom’s banner streaming o’er us, 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE. 33

WwW ITH PLEASING SURPRISE many. visitors -will .see . the 
familiar sign “‘Boas, The Tailor’’ as they swiftly.sweep. or 
gently glide into Magnolia. Familiar indeed it is ‘to the’ resi- 
dents of Back Bay, Boston, and likely to leave in the mind. vivid 
and acute feelings of relief and confidence. | 
Garments bearing his label express the highest development .of 
every essential of clothes character—a unity of ‘style, material and 
workmanship that at once raise them to the pinnacle of clothes sup- 
eriority. 
In the wide field of Cleansing, Pressing and Dyeing. Mr. John 
Crowley possesses a rare reputation in Boston and beyond its borders. 
Under his intimate touch, wilful stains like magic. disappear. 
His knowledge of the inner secrets of fine cleansing and pressing is 
peerless. Under him, the Cleansing, Pressing and Dyeing. depart- 
ment of Boas & Crowley will be a revelation of reliability. and - per- 
fection. é 
Pressing and Cleansing is a fine art and cannot be properly .done 
save by an experienced and able specialist. Such work, .when. done 
by nondescripts who are pottering at everything, would be a. joke~ but 
for the cost to victims in time, money and care. ‘To ‘such. potterers 
has been applied the saying, 
**. . couldn’t press a nose-bag fora horse.’’ 
Bruised beneath their yoke, real pressing has become well-nigh un- 
known—buried under an avalanche of sham, false pretence etc., 
ad nausenm. 
Not farther does the East lie from the West than lies the distance 
between Cleansing, Pressing and Dyeing done by potterers and that 
done by specialists. The specialist lends to the work he knows. so 
well a rare distinctive quality; faded and.worn garments renew. their 
youthful appearance and (figuratively) vibrate with new life. There 
is a mystic charm, a virility permeating garments renovated by a skill- 
ful specialist. 
As such, Mr. Crowley’s ability is conceded in Boston where the 
surpassing quality of his work has stamped it as the climax of excel- 
lence and crowned his efforts with superb triumph. 
The facilites of Boas & Crowley place at the disposal of distant 
patrons a service approximating in promptness and efficiency that ac- 
corded to those personally visiting the store. A telephone call (Mag- 
nolia 7 Ring 2) a postal or message will receive instant attention. 
The garments of all customers are insured against loss by fire or 
otherwise. 
Monthly or season pressing and tailoring is done. at special rates, 
goods being promptly called forand delivered on time. “The splendid 
service and attention to details that have marked the career of. Boas 
& Crowley will be duplicated in their Magnolia store, which is lo- 
cated at 6 Raymond street, in the heart of the town.
