Some people like to have dogs, and to keep them in their apartments—other people do not want to keep pets, or to en- counter them around the premises where they live., Some people like to keep late hours, and hit things up as lively as they please without feeling any responsibility for annoying their neighbors—other people want to live where reasonable rules are observed for providing an atmosphere of order and quictude. There are apartment houses where children use roller skates in the halls, and play games in the lobbies—and there are places where this is not permitted. 3 3 These things are a matter of personal taste and inclination. There are many worthy folks who like pets, who lead Bohemian lives, and who allow their children to run loose. There are plenty of places where they are welcome, and where they find kindred spirits. This advertisement is an invitation to people who want to live where there are restrictions, and where there is excellent service. Please call in person.
