VIRTUE OWN REWARD, BUT
SIGN FAILS TO RETURN

Virtue may be it's own reward,
but conceive of the average col
lege youth conceding it. At all
events that is the only reward
offered by Miss Mary r. Ladd and
her sister. Miss Katherine, for the
return Of the sign which adorned
the book shop conducted by the
girls at 1923 H street northwest.
The bookstall is known as the
Best Cellar Bookshop, and an arts
tic sign to that effect hung at the
entrance when the shop opened a
few weeks ago.
One morning recently Miss Kath.
crime missed the sign and deducted
that its character had appealed
with fatal results to some college
boy. For who else" she reasoned,
could possibly have any use for
1t, the intrinsic value being nil?"
Miss Ladd replaced the stolen Best
Cellar sign with one of her own,
to wit: will the person who in,
removed this sign be
good enough to return it. Virtue
is it's own reward" To date the
promised reward has failed to re-
store the original sign,
