The Vagabond has gotten about a goodly bit. In his day he has seen the capitals of the world gaudy with the pomp and panoply of kings. He has held London in the same comfortable respect as he regards his grandfather. He has looked upon Paris as a young girl with rouged cheeks and a broken heel. But Vienna was like a young debutante at her first dance. A little above herself in her fine clothes, a little sentimental when the orchestra strikes up a popular song of years past, but gorgeously enjoying herself. The Vagabond harks back to the days when he wandered into a cafe where lovely women rose smiling out of a pall of tobacco smoke, and beer came in litre stone mugs. He would sit by the hour at a table as the lovely women and the little stone mugs came and went listening to an orchestra somewhere in the distance playing "Tales From A Vienna Woods," in such a fashion that "Woodman Spare That Tree" seemed almost a presentable fragment of verse. But in late years the Hapsburgs have fallen, the Vagabond has gotten too old for travel, and Vienna is now a dissected corpse which communist interns try in vain to assemble.

He will not go a-voyaging again, but in Boston there is a substitute. It is inadequate to be sure, but it is a very pleasant substitute all the same. At the "Pops" there is no beer in litre stone mugs, and there are few lovely women to rise smiling out of a pall of blue tobacco smoke. But in compensation, the orchestra plays Strauss as Strauss is seldom played. It plays other things also to stir the elemental passions of the Vagabond. Handel, Ravel, Victor Herbert and all the others that make music most palatable to the laymen. And a final inducement is the organ. It is not advertised as "mighty," the Vagabond is not called upon to sing "Love For Sale" as he listens to it, nor is he subjected to the strident tones of the woman next to him as she sings. This organ does what every self respecting organ should do; it makes men like Handel eternal.
