Rare Opportunity to Select
Magnificent Piano at Just
Half the Regular Price

Instructions have been received
within the past few days from the
main office of Koh1er & Chase, San
Francisco, notifying the Los An
eeles house at 437 South Broadway
of their determination to retire from
the retail business in this city and
confine themselves exclusively to
the wholesale trade.
They further notify the Los An
ge1es house to Immediately adver-
tise and dispose Of the large stock
of Pianos on hand absolutely re-
gardless of the regular prices. An
order of this nature from business
house of the magnitude and stand
ing of Kohler & Chase means
nothing less than a sensation IN the
Piano market, as the total number
of Pianos to be sold exceeds one
hundred.
That this stock of Pianos COM
prises many of the world famed
makes can be readily seen by the
following, which is but a partial
list: Decker Bros, Sohmcr & Co.,
Mason & Hamlin, Fischer, Kohler
& Chase, Franklin, Trowbridgc,
Florence, Standard and A. B. Chase.
In addition to the above superb
list of new Pianos to choose from
are twenty-eight that have been
but slightly used, including Chick
ering, Behr Bros, KimbalL Stein
way & Sons, Kroeger, Kinesbury
and Knabe, making in all the
finest aggregation Of first class IN
struments ever Offered by any sin
gle Music firm IN America.
This is not a removal sale from
one block to another, nor is 1t a
sale to raise money, for Koh1er &
Chase are the wealthiest music
dealers west of New York, but it Is
a bona fide closing out Of their re-
tail business in Los Angeles, and IN
order to give the public an idea Of
what the prices will be, a few quo-
tations are here given:
Selling Price
New Upright, Decker Bros. 49,. $3l4
Regular Price, S6zs
New Upright, SOhmer & Co.....S30
Regular Price, $500
New Upright, Florence. ....... $l55
Regular Price, $3.50
New UPRIGHT, KohIer & Chase. $l68
Regular Price, 1915
New Upright, TrOwbridge. ..$2O5
Regular Price, S4Oo
Showing a reduction on every
Piano of at least one-ha1f. Al
though, as will be seen, these prices
are lower than ever quoted before.
Kohler & Chase, with their On
limited capital are able to dispose
Of the stock not only at the sensa-
tional reduction of one-half, bot
offer as we'll the regular monthly
easy payments, enabling many
who have heretofore been thwarted
IN their desire for Piano on ac-
count of price to take advantage Of
this sale.
Old Square Pianos and also Or
eans will be taken IN exchange at
their actual value. In order to ac-
commodate those who are unable
to make their selections during the
day, the warerooms will be open
evenings Until 9 o'clock.
Correspondence from out of town
will receive prompt attention.
The sale will commence on Tues
day morning at 10 o'clock and con-
tinue until every Piano is sold. The
price of each instrument will be
marked IN plain figures, and with
each purchase will 90 stool, scarf
and the manufacturers guarantee

no Piano will be sold tomorrow
(Monday) as all the stock has not
yet been marked down.

Fashionable Sandwiches.

Peanut sandwiches are one of the fads
of the hour. These have won enormous
success at houses where they have been
made properly, according to the New
York Herald, which tells how to make
them, as follows: A peanut sandwich,
to be at it's best, requires vigilance, a
fhead" OF the part of the maker and
careful adherence to the ''rule." Stale
bread, thinly sliced and we'll battered,
is their outside covering. These sand
witches should be very small. Roasted
peanuts are taken for them and chopped
up into a fine paste. This is we'll mixed
with a mayonnaise, and the paste is
then spread thickly between the slices
of bread. Fashionable hostesses, when
setting them on a plate, tie them up
with narrow brown ribbon-ribbon that
has the precise tint Of the paste.
Another sandwich that has won much
appreciation is the lettuce sandwich,
liked because of it's extreme crispness.
To make these leaf of lettuce Of the
freshest variety should be pat between
oblong slices of thin, very literally but
tered bread. A quantity of butter far
greater than that used in the average
sandwich is necessary for these. Lettuce
sandwiches should never be served fiat,
by the way, but rolled up and served in
tinv cylinders

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Simp1e Suggestions For Decorative
Wort Music or Work Stand.
Making Tempting Tartlets.

A number of pretty ideas for decora-
| tive trihes are presented to home work
ers by The Decorator and Furnisher,
among them the following: a delight
full accessory for the dressing table can
| be got out Of half yard of cheap
Ecrim. For this purpose buy the plain
Ecrim without figure in good tint of
cream. About half yard of this cot
ton material will serve the purpose On
all four sides let there be hem of some
four inches, above which there should
be clearly defined hemstitch.
AS a center ornamentation there can
be given Towering design of blossoms
by conventional figure of we'll curved
lines. This middle adornment should be
worked in one rich tint of any shade
desired. Around this three or four inch
border give a simple pattern in wash
tinsel. To finish well, a crochet edge
around the entire cover greatly improves
it, taking care that it should be very
narrow and in strong and effective de-
sign The great feature is that this pref
needed, but when washed it should be
ironed on soft blanket so as to bring
out the decorative plan.
The one yard pincushion has become
now such a fad that it holds it's own in
every material. Among the prettiest is
one of linen, being fine in quality and
in lovely design of single forgetme-
nots. This pretty affair can be edged
with lace of good honiton make or a
narrow renaissance that will stand
so steadily gained in favor that the old
fashioned times have come again, when
this useful convenience finds it's need on
table or bureau, provided the articles
selected are those in which beauty of
tints prevails. This same idea can be
well carried out in any of the richer
materials if artistically planned.
AS linen is now universally accepted
for table decorations pretty affair can
be made of square of fine linen in
which initials with Towering designs
are the scheme, the morning glory or
honeysuckle being specially attractive.
This square dolly should be decorated
on all four corners and serve as useful
adornment for vegetable, like baked
potatoes, which should never be put in
covered dish. The potatoes should be
laid in the middle of the linen, the
four corners, folding over in neat order,
giving to the whole an inviting appear

SAM JONES AND TEMPERANCE.

Rev. Sam Jones, in his speech at
Cincinnati, Ohio, on the subject,
'.Prohibition and the American
Home" said all the parties split last
year so as to give chance for twice
as many candidates to run, and that
the Prohibitionists split, but ''sorter
like hairpin7stayed together at one
end.' Some of his epigrams were:
"You will never get the world to
heaven until you get the world sober.
81 believe that whiskey is Gods
worst enemy and the DEVILS best
friend:
cit is a question in my mind which
is least endurable, to lead a drunk
ards life or to be drunkard's wife.
"Every saloon in the world is a
menace to every home in the world.
eff all OF the politicians in the
country would die at one time the
devil would look through the key
hole when he saw them coming and
shut up shop. He'd know that if he
let 'em inside they'd hold caucus and
hell.
ssLots of men vote one way and
pray another. If any of them get to
heaven, it will be because the other
place is burned out"
He moved his audience to tears
when he spoke of his own talk to his
two sons when he told them how he
had driven the bloom from their
debauchery, and asked them, if they
must drink and carouse, not to COM
mence it until their mother died, for
it would kill her. This does not
sound like much on paper, but it was
story which went straight home
when told in the quiet. forceful words
Of Sam Jones.
Again, there were moist eyes when
he told of an angel coming to earth
and gathering rose, child's smile
and mothers love as the three most
beautiful things on earth. At heavens
gate the rose had faded and the smile
was gone, but the mothers love was
as pure and as strong as ever.
His whole address was a telling
plea for the protection of the home,
and one who has never heard him
cannot imagine his quiet, good
natured, almost sly humor, which re-
veals his tender heart and captivates
his audience.
