But Managers Shrink from Public Gaze Even if Posers “Don’t Mind.” Tf the financial end proved es satte- Bactory as the artistic triumph scored by two dozen of New York's most noted young women models at Carnegie Hall fast night, then the exhibition for the benefit of the library of the Art Stu- Gents’ League was 2 howling success. Probably 400 patrons saw whet ie rare- ty displayed in Gotham outsiie of ex- Giusively artisatic o'rclee—art for art's ake and as nature intended and moulded the artist, truthfully and splendidly por~ trayed by the best known young studlo studies in New York. Had it been generally noteed about that the artists’ models were to appear fm ‘‘model-logues,” it is lkely that Broadway would have been deserted and Carnegie Hall stormed by « curt- eaity-seeking mob—of course, mostly lovers of all that 1s ideal in art. Strange enough, persons connected mwith the affair acted as if the exhibition (used advisedly) was to be secret from District-Attorney Jerome, and reserved entirely for the critical eye of art Gevotees. Even the most persistent coaxing from the promoters of the event, and they are all women, too, failed to reveal the names of the fair goddesses and princesses and other “esses” who so admirably portrayed Personages or antiquity, poetry and mythology. For Art Patrons Only. It was stated that the purpose of the affair was entirely confined to a few art patrons, and the funds intended for the enlargement of the Library Art Club's rooms, at No. 24 West Fifty~ eighth street. Incidentally, some one G@ecreed that the papers should have Rone of it. ‘Well, well!

On Broadway they say affairs are “pulled off.” What constituted “affaire’’ last night certainly were absent whether J Pe “they were pulled off of gently re THREE SHEETS IN THE WIND AN INDIVIDUAL FURR.

Gne Day’s Rent Free! To-morrow, Sai., Feb. 29. Smoke on the Landlord! | | | The Jandlord pays half for what you buy tomorrow. This is the way of it: In every year except Leap Year there are 365 | days, and on a basis of 365 days we sur rent charge. Our annual | outlay for this item alone is $2,550,000 tor the chain ot United Cigar Stores | Operated from Coast to Coast. | That’s a charge of about $7,000 a day for rent. This year we save every cent of one day’s rent—it’s Leap Year, you see, and on that reckoning February has an extra day—the 29th, to-morrow. All over the country United Cigar Stores are open for business, and the rent charge of $7,000 is wiped off the books. It’s clear gain to us—we give it to you. How? By selling, to-morrow, boxes of DUKE SAVOY Perfecto | Superiores at $1.59—worth neariy double. (By the box ony.) A once-in- | four-years price. | To-morrow we give you in profits $7,000 which we save in a day’s rent. uie Nobody loses a penny by the transaction, but it keeps money in the pocket of every smoker. Just teank your lucky stars that Leap Year has come around again, This time the benefits are shared—ihe iadies don’t get them all. Ever since the calendar was straightened out by tacking on a twenty-ninth day to February, Leap Year has never taken proper account of the men. It has simply been an open season for the husband hunters. But the men are in the running this Leap Year, They smoke on the landlord. Our gcoa friends the landiords—the Astors, the Fullers, the Ehrets, the Rhinelanders, the Cheesebroughs, and ali the others who own the choice corners and adjacent locations, to whom the United Cigar Stores Company pays tribute, are perhaps ‘in bad’’ tomorrow—but they accept the inevitabie and say, “Smoke on us.” That’s the idea—smoke on the landlord. Smck: DUKE SAVOY Perfecto Superiores at $1.59 per box. 9,000 Boxes of cigars, worth nearly double the price, for $1.59 to-morrow. DUKE SAVOY is the brand—Perfecto Superiore the sizc—price, box of 25, $1.59—and the cigars are choice. We expect to sell an awful lot of cigars at this protit-off price to-morrow —many times more than would be covered by our sacrifice of one day’s rent. We jee! we can afford to, because in addition to the $7,000 rent we save, our thousands of clerks are working without extra pay to-morrow—are glad to do it to co-operate with us in carrying out this Leap Year Sale. Our men are satisfied to get their share in the commissions they earn, So you can have ail the cigars at this Leap Year day price that can be carried away. But the price is by the box and for to-morrow only—not a minute longer. The chance passes like the 29th of February itself. It’s a fleeting opportunity—grasp it. DUKE SAVOY—remember the name. The cigar is the Duke Savoy Perfecto Superiore, 25 in a box. To-morrow $1.59. The DUKE SAVOY Perfecto is a 10c. cigar—looks like it and smokes like it. The DUKE SAVOY is an Havana—and it smokes as an Havana should, with the delightful aroma of Havana tobacco. Skiled workmen make the DUKE SAVOY Perfecto Superioree—look at the cigars—you will see how becutifully they are modelled. They arm certainly beauties. A generous size—S inches long, and nearly as round as a man’s thumb Big smoke. To-morrow by the box only—$1.59 for 25.—DUKE SAVOY Perfecto Superiores.
