PURPLE, NOT ROYAL, KEEPS
PRINCE FROM SMART BALL
PIebeian Black Eye Prevents
Carl Vretman From Accepting
Greenway Invitation

The Swedish prince" Carl Vretman,
is paying the penalty of his self ar
rogated title. He was invited to the
Greenwsy ball last night, but did not
attend, because, forsooth. his right eye
had been decorated with the purple
that is not royel, an emblem unloved
by the fair debutante
Vretman strayed along the primrose
path Of dalliance, the vulgar call it the
red light district last Thursday night.
He dallied with the vintage of sunny
champagne. The hoarse melodies of the
Swedish sagas echoed from his chair
to the farthest end OF the gilded hall.
Vretman was merry.
But, alas and alacki vretman was not
in his own castle, and a rude attend
ant, unarmored and bearing about his
person no Insignia of royalty, pre-
sented the prince" with a bill. Vretman
was shocked. He said so and with dog
matte severity declared that he would
not pay il that night.
His princely signature appended to a
check did not assuage. the wrath of the
tenderloin saloon keeper. vretman was
obstinate What followed is not alto
gether clear. The cafe proprietor says
that no unholy hands were laid upon
the prince and yet another story
runs that there was an altercation and
this is the reason why Vretm4n did
not attend the Greenway ball.

WELL WORTH KNOWING
Any Lump in Noman's Breast Is Always
Cancer

The papers made mention some time
ago of several marvellous cures or
large cancers in women's breasts by
Dr. Chamley, the world renowned can
Ger specialist of 696 McAllister ST., San
Francisco, Cal. This doctor makes the
bold assertion that he has in over 80
years cured more cancers than any
other doctor living and offers $1,000
il he fails TO cure any single cancer he
treats. Strictly reliable; no X-ray or
other swindle. The fact that not a
dollar need be paid until cured should
convince the most skeptical of the
doctors honesty and fair dealing. He
has, probably, the best book ever
printed on cancers and tumors cured
without knife or pain. wherein he
teaches and proves that any lump in
woman's breast is cancer. This book
OF testimonials of thousands of won-
derful cures everywhere is sent free
to all who write DR.. and Mrs. DR..
Chamley & Co.. describing their can
Ger. The reader may save life by
sending this to some one with cancer.
