ROOM IN DOWN1OWN AZ L.
Down close to town, in an apart
ment building that has elevator
service, is a we'll furnished room
for two. The room has three win
dows in it, assuring you Of plenty
of ventilation. For your conven-
fence tie owner will serve break
fast if you wish and will permit
you the liberty of her apartment.
The furniture is practically new
and the room contains complete
set. From this location you can
walk to the downtown business
district in about 10 minutes.
FAIRMONT STREET:
With the thought in mind Of
winters prankS of last year, I
know some of you are going to
change your living quarters to
places where you will be assured
of coziness and comfort. The
apartment building where this
room is located has always been
noted for it's heat during the cold
weather. Never a day during last
years cold weather were any of the
occupants uncomfortable, so if your
choice should fall on this Hastily
furnished room you will be well
settled for a long time to come.
The street car is at the corner,
or if you are ambitious, you can
walk downtown in about 80 min
uteS.
APT. IN NORTHEAST:
So as to not neglect those Of
you who are searching for apart
ments in the Northeast, 1 finally
discovered a very pleasing one.
Located near the Capitol and
Union Station and just about five
minutes riding time to downtown.
While this building is not new
one, it is strictly up to the minute

having all CQe requirements Oh To-
days apartment seekers. The floor
arrangement is especially attraO-
tive, having \ Well-SiZed living
room, a bedroom, dinette and
kitchen and tile bath. The dinette
is separated from the kitchen by
useful little cabinets and both OF
these rooms are well-siZed. AS if
that is not enough, there is also
a screened-in porch. Rental is
$3.50.
INGRAHAM ST. N. w.:
Another interesting home is 10.
Gated out on Ingraham Street. A
very pleasing atmosphere prevails
here, as the h )me is filled with q
group of congenial, well-read
ladies. On long winter evenings
they gather before a real log fire
and have a very pleasant time.
This is not a large house, but q
real nome, one where all the com.
forts wanted will be found. The
room that is vacant now is fur
niShed in Early American maple
furniture and offers much in the
way Of real livdble quarters. Rates
are quite reasonable and they also
include meals.
UNFURNISHED HOUSE
NEAR WARDMAN:
No one can find fault with the
residential section near Wardman
Park, for it is not only very ex.
elusive but so convenient. In this
unfinished house, which has
many possibilir there are seven
rooms and two baths, as well as a
sleeping porch. Just a few months
back It was completely redecorated
throughout and you will find it in
splendid condition All the wanted
conveniences have been installed,
including electric refrigeration and
automatic heat. Rental is 500 on
a yearly lease.

trivial, with the group ranging

Cotton Goods

NEW YORK. Dec. 10 GNS).-Fairly
light going in the cotton cloth market
today found prices firm in most con-
structions An expected volume of offer
ings of seconds did not materialize, and
apparently dealers found all their pur-
chaseS taken up by trade requirements.
Print cloths sold in small quantity, but
activity in the carded broadcloths and
sheetings was fairly brisk. Most sales
were for delivery well into the first
quarter of next year. at steady prices.
A few sales for prompt shipment brought
good premiums.
Rayons moved at higher prices and
in better volume than last week, with
no seconds in evidence
