THE WISE MAN I i< the one who can find a bargain in a first class improved property suitable to his needs and tastes, as such improvements at the present time have sotnuch greater value than in years past , due to the advance in materials. Such an opportunity we offer in the splendid property at the corner of Fifth and Wesley avenue. 1 The ground representing 150 feet on Wesley avenue by 120 feet on Fiftli.strect. is extremely desirable for • cottage sites. The improvements on this ground comprise. the splendid slate roofed, 1 6 room building on the corner, and out-buildings. The improvements could not lie reproduced today for less than from $12,000.00 to $14,000.00 and the ground is easily worth from $5,000.00 to $(>,000.00. We offer this property for less than half its value on attractive terms. It is extremely desirable either for a large family or a select Boarding Cottage or for Rooming purposes, and the buyer can sell off cottage sites as he may desire, and so controPthe character of building about it without lessening the necessary ground for the main building. This corner has tire eastern and southern exposure which is the most to be desired, the outlook is upon the Park with no buildings to intervene. an& the grounds contain beautiful trees and $hrul>bery, jnore in tact than any other cottage grounds' in Ocean City, garage and servants' house upon the premises.

vB APT I ST MEN'S CLASS - GIVES TREAT TO WOMEN

Members Enjoy F. T. Jennings' Fun— Three Gifts Surprised Recipients. L It was the Baptists' night out Monday evening, and tbey were largely arid vigorously represented at tbelr gatherlug at the Hotel Henry, the occasion being the treat given to the members of the Women's Bible Class of the First Baptist Church. The men having lost the recent e membership conte-t, and "loei It bad," " It was up to them to treat, and tbey • produced. The "production" was " highly satisfactory aod was thoroughr ly enjoyed. The members began gathering shortly after 6 o'clock, and at 6.80 o'clock ' tliey sat down lo the followlug lempt- » lug spread: " Chicken, Virginia Style g Wsffiea and Dressing g Boiled White Potatoes Creamed Cabbage Kadlabea t Co flee Ice Cream ^ When the vlauds bad disappeared, Robert Smith, chairman of the euter'j talumeut committee, on behalf of the men's class, expressed his pleasure at Die attendance of the women. The ' women may think Ihe men should declare peace, but the men are dster- ' mlued to retaliate. Tbey may not have here, as on the battlefields of J Europe, any liquid Ore— tbay hare no zeppellns— but they havs two or tbraa ' awful gas bags which they will turn loose. The first and strongest of these, Mr Smith declared, was F. T. Jene ulngs, of Philadelphia, whom ba told to "go to It." * After thanking Mr. and Mrs. Henry 1 for the excellence of the chicken dlo1 uer, Mr. Jennings aeld that, although he was having a seizure of stage fright, he was glad to be there for several reasons, principally, however, because | hla wife was not along. Having In , this Jocular style prepared Iboae of bit hearers who were hot already familiar ' with bis effervescent style, Mr. Jen- , ulugs proceeded lo tell several stories ,, which stirred the rlslbllltlaa of bis C Than he bad a little "Jingling Jobn- [ son" stuff for many in the crowd, and, _ of course, all of these made big bits. B Among those lo whom Mr. Jennloga . tbua paid bis respects were Mrs. |f Pfander, Mra N. Hickman, Dr. W. P. Haines, Mlaa Ruth Stephenson, tba Rev. M. M. Lewis, Joseph Snyder and wife, tba Smith brothers, J.P. . Cadman, Jr., Mra. Stephenson, A. U. . Gilbert. Mtsa Sallla W. Lake, Mrs. . Herbert Dngan and 8. 8. McAllister r and wife. a Tba speaker told of a wonderful D dream lu which lu 1918 ba aaw a hand- , some Baptist Church In Oesan City, l Continuing, he said ba has a mother who la 89 years old, and who baa always told htm bis heart la In tba right placa, bat that hla bead goaa astray. Eliminating the comedy, Mr. Jennings stated that wltbln the last few ' weeks a committee from a Phlladal" ) phla chnrcb that paya $2800 a year visited the Baptist Cbnrch In Ocaan City and beard Mr. Lawts preach. - The committee returned to Philadelphia and made a favorable report. Bat Mr. Lewis, aeld the speaker, told him that be had come to Ooten City e to build a handsome BapUat Church o and that cbnrch ha la going tqbnBff before ba 1 saves. "But," aald Mr. Jennings, "belwva , me, that cbnrch won't ba built uulaas you all pot your shoulders to tba , wheel. I am going to do my pan. When you gat the cburcb golug right, give the pastor a larger salary. I ,r couldn't live on hlaaalary. W a want „ to build such a church as will cause , people to know that the Baptists are . In Ocean City." Mr. Jennings aald be wanted tbla n contest to go on and ao ba will give d $10 to the class that brings In tba moat members between this time and Jane 16, the class wlnntag to glvs this M money to the cburcb. b The speaker told hla bearers to aland y by and work with Pastor Lewis, and (Continued on Seoond PacaJ
