RUBBER HEELS FOR TENANTS.
One Landlords Way OF keeping HIS House
Full and N0iscless.

There Is at least one landlord In Harlem
who has solved the problem Of keeping
his house full Of quiet tenants who will
not complain Of the nois overhead. His
method was discovered quite by accident
when a new tenant applied for a lease on
the string Of rooms known as a fiat In this
particular building.
All the necessary formalities about ref
erences, finances. &c, had been salts
factorily gone through with, when the
new tenant observed an extra clause type
written in the printed form of lease.
whats that for?" he inquired,
Read 1t and see," answ cred the land
lord. That is for your protection as well
as for that Of the tenants under you. 1t
part to wear rubber heels on all your
shoes, and requiring every member of
your family to do likewise. Oh-never
mind the expense-the lease, you will OBJ
serve, requires mt to furnish you with
the heels, so 1t costs you nothing"
The tenant read the following clause
pointed out in the lease by the landlord:
And It Ia hereby further agreed that the
said party OF the second part 1.-THE tenant
obllgates himself and tho members OF his
uihli w "Vdl diu y oils tQulpDtu
with rubber heels; and the said party OF the
first part the landlord hereby agrees TO
pay the expense Of fitting rubber heels to all
shoes regularly worn by the tenant and the
members OF his family. provided that such
heels shall be fitted only at a shop to be desig-
mated by the party Of the first part.
The prospective tenant could only artiou-
late:
But suppose I refuse to wear rubber
he els?"
an that case, We will nave no difficulty
in finding some one else who will, > answered
the landlord. 'This clause liz my own idea
and is inserted TO guard against noise from
the fiat above-an evil which you must admit
Is one Of the greatest ~aunoyances OF life
in a fiat in New York.
"People who wear rubber heels walk
noiselsesly. Not only are rubber heels
comfortable and noiseless, but you will
find many physicians who advocate them
for all ordinary walking, or the score Of
the nervous shocks which are avoided by
their use.
Il have made an arrangement with q
shoemaker near my building, who fits all
the shoes OF my tenants with rubber heels
at a reduced rate, and l pay the bills. 1t
for that / get about fifteen pairs Of rubber
heels put on, and when they wear out, ! am
willing to pay for new ones.
The best possible proof of the practical
utility Of my scheme is that my fats are
always rented, and the particular one that
you are asking about is the only vacant

Midway between Scarsdale and White

OF quiet Westchester county-where may
be buried anything from a brother-in-law
to an ambition-is the Hartsdale Can inc
Cemetery. 1t is a plot Of about eleven
acres in which dogs and cats may be inferred
with fitting ceremonies, with a place for pet
monkeys and parrots as a side issue.
