"'Tis knowledge that makes woman a success."

They were squall in childhood; they are separated now by several strata of
society. But appraise each at her own intrinsic worth, and what is the only

It Is Education; It Is Knowledge.
Herein only is the rich girl supirior. litre only is she a more important
factor in life und of more value tu herself and to society than her less fortunate
contemporary.
Even this distinction need no longer exist; far no girl with strength and

Trio of Chances to Get the
Finest Art Portfolios
Printed at terms so easy that all can buy.
OFFER NUMBER ONE.
The World's Fair Portfolio, in four
parts, each part containing between fifty
and sixty views of the great exposition,
and the whole forming a superb represen
tation of the greatest exposition the world
has ever seen, may be had as previously
announced. Three Coupons, cut out as
explained below, together with 10 cents
in cash, will secure it. The demand is
heavy, but we will fill all orders as fast
as the flying presses can print the hand
some books.
OFFER NUMBER TWO.
The "Wanamaker Panorama of the
World's Fair," which has occasioned such
a furore in Philadelphia, is a voluminously
illustrated history of that great event. It
is a history that is both highly entertain
ing to the young and old, and instructive
to all. It is such a volume as should be
in every patriotic home. In order to have
a complete, continuous and connected his
tory, it will be necessary to have all the
parts. One new part appears each week.
There are sixteen, magnificent, marvelous,
full-page views in each part. Ten cents in
cash and two coupons of different dates,
cut as directed below, will secure it. Part
One is now ready in unlimited quantity,
Other parts will be announced.
OFFER NUMBER THREE.
The young folks all delight to take that
famous "Trip Around the World" by
means of the handsome and instructive
Portfolio of Photographs showing noted
scenes and picturesque spots in all parts
of the globe we inhabit. It is an educa
tion in itself ; this album. Don't fail to
have it, if you haven't it now. It will be
a lasting treat. Just now, in particular,
see the views it gives of Hawraii, the land
where Oueen Lil ruled. Two coupons and
5 cents in cash will secure this treasure.
We've had to do it. The demand was too
great. We've had to make THREE offers
where we though two, surely, would be
enough. But the public wouldn't be satisfied.
So we ve added the anamaker series, and
continue the other two. You need all three,
to be really in the swim. Each one is better
than the one before it; at least, that's what
you think. Better order early if you want
a prompt reply. All the various parts are
going like hot cakes.
