IA every chance for their qualification In one an
nouncement the retired widow IN pleasant village

The increasing number and variety Of these aG-

Of such announcements than we have done III any
previous Seasonal larger quantity in fact, than is
found in all Of the other morning papers of the city
combined. Not only is the space occupied by these
advertisements greater than in former years, but

the consequent need for economy, announcements
have beon III many cases reduced from dozen or
twenty lines to three four. thus very consdera-
bly, increasing the number and variety Of the at
fractions offered in the same amount of space.

Educational Columns this year. Just as an artist
produces strong and vivid effect by one or two vig-
orous strokes of the brush in these condensed adj
vertisements the salient points of each establish
ment are singled out and placed In strong relief and
careful comparison aud selection thus be easily
and rapidly made.
This Is point which parents are sure to appro-
ciate To facilitate still further their search for
the most desirable places for the boys and girls, the
advertisements will be found very carefully CLASH
fed and placed under proper heads, while the in
divdual advertisements under each head
are arranged in alphabetical order. Thus arranged
