Ny HILoA HUNT

Every child should have place
of it's very own for play and play
things. OF course the nursery is
the obvious solution to the prob
lem. But every home where there
is a child cannot always afford a
nursery. The modern apartment for
instance, frequently has not suffic-
lent rooms to set one aside for the
playroom or nursery. Again, In the
case of the very young child the
mother wants to keep her eye on it
at all hours of the day, and ap-
portioning a room where the child
must necessarily be by itself while
the mother goes about her house,
hold duties is not practical.

one mother solved her nursery
problem. The child was three years
old, too young to be left alone. so
the mother set aside one corner
of the living room, as illustrated,
for the child's play room. A window
seat with drawers beneath fur
nished place for toys not being
used at the moment. A low rack of
shelves afforded further place for
toys and books. A low child's table
and couple of small chairs were
all the other furniture necessary,
with the exception of an attractive
screen, which could be drawn
across the corner affording the
child greater privacy when the
mother was entertaining callers.
There is nothing more appropri-
ate for children than cotton, both

their piayrooms, SO this mother
used a pretty novelty check ging-
ham for the slip cover to the
window seat. slip cover for the
cushion of the child's rocker, a
cover for the table, and curtains
for the window. OF course the
other windows in the room had to
be curtained in the same, but they
proved very effective, even for
grown-ups. The cushions on the
window seat were covered with
slips of plain material, so that, like
the chair and window seat cushion
covers, they could be removed for
laundering.
This child's corner required but
four feet along either wall.

YES. A NICKEL!
Some Men Don't Know 1t Will
Buy an Amazingly Good
Cigar. But 1t Will!

It sounds too good to be true.
But the plain fact is that there's a
cigar at five cents on sale today
that cost more than nickel for
years. 1t sold so well in those days
that we reduced the price and re-
fined the quality. And now it's
selling like wildfire!
Regardless of what you think of
fve-cent cigars, match nickel
against HGvand Ribbon. Then
watch that smoke perform! Men,
you'll find that HdUand Ribbon has
got everything you want in a good
cigar-favor, mildness, the salts
flying qualities of ripe tobacco.
You'll never think of the nickel
after you've sampled the smoke.
You'll keep right on buying Havand
Ribbon and smoking it without a
regret day after day. So-you fur
nish the nickel and Havana Ribbon
will furnish the big surprise. To-
days the time to try it out.

Plea to Keep the City Residential
Resort
A committee from the Ventnor
Chamber of Commerce composed
of Conrad Eckholm, chairman;
James Mnrphy, Charles Osman,
Charles H. Godfrey, ex-mayor ;
Charles Burkard and DIR. Theodore
Sparks have taken the question of
advertising Ventnor up with the
Ventnor Common Council and it is
hoped to be able to obtain a fund
of $4,000 to advertise the city.
Charles H. Godfrey, ex-mayor of
Ventnor, in addressing the Cham
Der, pleads that Ventnor remain a
strictly residential resort and that
amusements and hotels be kept
out. He says that nine years ago
the city spent $1,000 on advertising
and that 100000 was received in
business. He says that 80 per cent
of the city's prosperity was derived
from Atlantic City's publicity eff
forts.

though outweighed, Egg Harbor put
up game fight, and on several oc-
casions threatened to score. The
small, light backfeld that carried
the ball for the Wine City team
showed a remarkable penchant
for crashing through the locals

The game was close from start
to finish, and only the breaks de-

defensive work was greater, and
was marked by the work of Chan

of the game made five tackles in

in the Sunday observance campaign
