The other charged her with advertising the business of massage without being licensed, in violation of G. L. c. 140, § 51. She was sentenced to two concurrent thirty-day terms at the Massachusetts Correctional Institution, Framingham. Her motion to stay the sentence pending appeal was denied. We transferred the case from the Appeals Court on our own motion. We affirm the convictions.
