The style of the cards is unlike any he ever had, and the date is written in ink. In addition to this an advertisement stating that he desired to engage a servant girl was inserted in several Boston papers. The result of this is that he has had forty or fifty applicants. He sent to the Boston newspapers on Saturday the following statement: President Eliot desires to have it known that the cvards of invitation to his house for December 10, lately sent out, are not genuine.
