PORTIERE'S OR TENANTS MUST GO

The tenants in the splendid Princeton
apartment house, No. 257 Eighth street,
are in great state of mind over an order
Of Proprietor Spotts, for them to take
down all portierres they had lung and
replace them with the swingdoors which
the tenants had long ago taken down,
wrapped carefully in paper and stored
away in the cellar, and substituted there-
fore the more elegant and artistic por-
there's. They all thought the s@inging
doors nuisance.
At first they regarded Mr.. spott's or
der in the light of a joke. They soon
found that Spotts meant business. All
trios and larger groups with one another
in an effort to decide what ails Mr.. Spots
Some didn't even go to church. Shortly
after the order to remove the portieres
was given it was followed by a very leg
al looking document which proved to be
a notice to get out of the house before
January l.
1--WE can't for the lives of us tell what's
got into SPOTS. All the doors in the
apartments in this house are swinging
doors instead of the sliding kind The
apartments are not over large and the
swinging doors were always in the way
Most of the tenants therefore concluded
to take down the doors and hang portieres
in their places. The doors were wrapped
in paper so that they wouldn't get mar
ried and put down in the cellar
Yes" said the tenants sweet faced
wife, ''and some Of the tenants have new
eF had the doors. There are the Quinns
for instance, who live on the second floor.
They have lived in the house for thirteen
years and they have had portieres all that
time. Then the Smiths and the Gumaers
who have lived here long time, have al
ways had portieres. They're so much
prettier than doors and so much, more
graceful They're not in the way, like
those horrid swinging things"
''Ever have any trouble with SPOTS,
before?" asked the reporter.
'Never a word about anything, said
the husband.
And he has always kept such a nice
house." chimed in the young wife. s'He
has always been particular about his ten
ants. 1t isn'e everybody, you know, can
get in here. You have to give references
and all that. That is why we like it so
much. And tell you, Mr.. Spotts is aw-
fully particular about the references. I'm
til this thing came up / thought Mr..
SPOTS was one of the incest men had
ever met.
What are you going to do about the
