SOUTH STATE STREET.

The management of the Vassar Dane
ing Academy wishes TO correct the er-
roneOus statement that has been so
widely circulated in the eity-that the
Wednesday class has closed. We wish
to assure the public and our many loyal
friends that such reports are purely
malicious in purpose and We are in
tending to still maintain the same stand
ard that We have heretofore established.
The demand for the beautiful dolls
given each lady on Nov. Is has won
the approval and admiration as being
so unique and We are requested on
many demands to give our friends an
other and the same treat on Nov. 25.
Through the courtesy Of the manage
ment and the excellent music of the
Peerless Orchestra the public will be
assured of a delightful evening, and the
heartiest cooperation of our good efforts
to give what is expected Of US. Instrue-
tions given from $3.50 until 10 O'Clock
by competent instructors.

A SAD PLIGHT

The other day / saw an old couple
set out of doors because they were un-
able to pay their rent. Brute Of a
landlord" hear you say. But no, you
are wrong. The landlord, too, must
live this hard, cold winter. He is not
a rich man. He cannot live without
the rent from his fats. He has waited
as long as he could before asking the
old couple to move. How his we'll
cared-for features contrast with the
pinched and shrivelled faces of his
tenants. Yet, years ago, knew both
couples. Both we're prosperous, both
lived in comfortable homes. Yet there
was this difference-One paid rent, the
other paid the same amount on a
home, paid it without stinting himself
too much, without foregoing any Of
the pleasures of life-rather, his
pleasures we're increased by one Of
which the other knew nOthing-the
Joy Of possession. This feeling Of pos
session will round out your life, in
sure a comfortable old age, and it is
easily obtained. Simply let your rent
apply toward a home. It will not be
long, and after you have paid your
money out like rent, 1t will still be
yours For instance, a modern fat
building in the Forty-eight block on
Langley avenue brings in S1,512 each
year. 1t is selling at $1,000, so you
see the rent will pay for this place In
less than six years, and after that you
will have $1,512 a year to do with as
you please. That is better than the
poorhouse, or dependency on a rela-
tive, for neither is pleasant. There
are many other bargains in real es-
tate on all the popular streets, and In
all sections Of the city. We have some
rare bargains on Forest, Wabash,
Prairie, Green, Eberhart, Kenwood,
and other exclusive residence districts.
We invite you to eaIl and let rs ten
you about them. Fraternal Real Es-

the Study and Prevention of Tubereu-
losis, which is carrying on the promo

to sell at least three cents worth of
seals per inhabitant.
