REAL ESTATE NEWS.

With o curtailment OF two days It must be
admitted that the real estate market made a
satisfactory showing last week. There were
few attempts on the part OF brokers to nego-
tiate new sales in the four days devoted to bust
ness. but the number OF old transactions closed
w made the realty record as good as in any pre-
vious like period. and one day OF the week.
Monday was particularly active. The short
ness OF the business week was more apparent
in the auction room than In the brokerage
business. in spite OF the fact that no sales are
ever scheduled for Saturday. In general the
dealing at private contract was exceptionally
good. and very little fault can be found with the
state OF the market.
The most noticeable feature OF the week was
the selling OF private houses. The reports for
each OF tho four days contained mention OF
such sales and in almost every case the prop
erty was above the average in value and de-
STABILITY. The section most favored was that
lying between Riverside Drive and Central
Park West. The purchasers bought for occu-
pancy in the majority OF cases.
The most important individual transaction
reported was the final disposition OF a large
plot on the northwest corner OF Central Park
West and Sixty sixth street. Plans for a seven-
story. 100000 apartment house. were filed
with the Building Department some time in
advance Oh lno CIuSlHk Vi u0kOtlotlOnb,
Irons h Todd being the buyers
The announcement OF third sale OF the Emo
holdings has been received with considsra Bile
interest by real estate brokers and their
clients. The properties to be sold consist OF
parcels on Thompson and Pine streets. West
Broadway and other downtown streets, to-
gether with number Of plots on Broadway
above Fiftieth street. The Newport apartment
house, which was knocked down at a former
sale. but to which tito was not taken. will be
offered again. Tho properties TO be sold ara
estimated to be worth about S2.OOO.0OO. the
value OF those in the last sale.
Tho public Offering OF this property may set
back the business at private contract and at
auction unit after the date Of the sale. espe-
cially since tho present week yacht races will
interrupt business more or less. The prices
obtained for the parcels offered will go far to-
ward determining whether the advance in
structural N terial has increased perceptibly
the values OF already proved properties.

given at this afternoon" the last course
was pie and coffee. The pastry was duly
brought in on dainty china plates, and be
side each plate was laid a knife-nothing

all waited is deadly silence for awhile,
hoping perhaps forks would seen follow
the knives and quiet the difficulty. Finally
the ladies were relieved of their suspense
by the embryo hostess emerging from the

HUGGING THE STOVE.

Just after the High School closed its
session one day last week a gay group Of
student girls boarded a North Topeka ave-
nue. car 10 scatter 10 their respective
homes. They were chatting in the lively,
vivacious manner usual with escaped
school girls. although the crushing racket
OF the car prevented anyone but them
selves hearing the conversation. At Tenth
street the car had to wait on the switch
for tha south-bo city car and this
spicy confab was overheard. II seems a
party of young men and ladies had the
Saturday before gone on 2 hay rack drive
out in the country to spend the day with
one Of the girls who comes to school in the
city and lives out of town. One of the
street car girls had been disappointed in
being detained and could not go and she
was asking one who did go what sort Of
time they had. With a disguised toss of
her pretty head her companion replied
with some petulance:
''Oh It was horrihlel II was too cold
to go anywhere or do anything. so We just
camped in the house. The girls Rugged
the stove while the boys smoked
The first girl shot this back at her:
''WeH, must say you were a lot of
chumps. Had I been there 1 should GER
tainly have suggested that you let the
stove smoke and the boys mug the girls"
