A Valuable Addition 10 the Virginia Fe-
male Institute.

While strolling out North Lewis
street the other day, a SPECTATOR re-
porter was so attracted by the busy
activity on the premises of the old
John Baldwin property that he enter
ed the grounds for closer observation.
This property it will be remembered
was recently purchased by Miss M. r.
Duvall for the overflow use of the Vlr-
GINA Female Institute. The old place
is now undergoing complete change.
The too dense shade has been trimmed
out and the grounds are being leyeled
and terraced off at the rear, where in
future will be the front, Oh Fillmore
street. Several brick additions have
added much to the size of the building
and when the large front portico with
it's colonial pillars is completed will
add vastly to the good looks of the
place. The porch roof projects twelve
feet from the top of the building and is
supported bv large colonial pillars
twenty feet in height. Inside, the old
homestead Is undergoing even greater
charges. When completed there Will
be nine bed rooms on the second floor
and seven rooms including parlor and
dining hall down stairs. To this will
be added a two room structure for
kitchen and servants quarters. Gas
anG water are being piped to the rooDis
and fiues for the heating by hot air are
being put in. These improvements
when completed will make a valuable
addition to the Institute property and
is intended az home for the teachers,
thus giving much needed room in the
main Institute buildings for the nc
Der has for years been steadily increas-
ng.
Contractor q. w. Fretwell has

The place and hopes to have his work

A Test.

Take piece Of cardboard and prick
a hole through it with pin. Close
one eye and look at some distant OBJ.
Ject, the town clock, for instance,
through the perfOratiOn. II you can
see more distinctly in this way than
with the naked eye. you need glasses.
There is not the slightest doubt of it.
This is one of the most reliable test
that We have. 1t is not, however, n
negative test. The fact that you
CANNOT see better through the open
ing Is NOT a sign that you DO NOT
need glasses. There are many people
who can see much better with the ma
ked eye who need glasses badly, but
no person whose vision is improved by
this test ought to do without glasses
