until the following Purim, only to get
another beating. Then Mr. Heyman

A Most Unusual Value
in Queen Anne Walnut
Bedroom Sets---

Another one of the Kaiser's pet
schemes will have to die. According
to a Zurich paper, plans are being
prepared for a London to Jerusalem

dad road, planned by his erstwhile
Majesty.

Above we present an accurate illustration of one of these suites. While pictur-
ing the lines, and, in a general way, the trimmings, it yet fails to convey an
adequate impression of the finish and character, which go to make this a really
sensational value.

The Queen Anne design was seldom developed to better advantage than
in this suite. To duplicate it elsewhere, we are sure, would cost half as much
again.

Arena Gardens

The elegant finish, the antique bronze trim
mings, the distinctive embossing, the dust-proof
doors—all indicate a suite of the finest type.
