In the year.-, that followed, Williams read
every bouk .unliable on history. Ills range
extended abroad and to the medieval and
ancient peiloUs.
A j car or so ago the convict's reading
took another turn lie came to know poetry.

Williams has written verse. One tlmo

.disagreement. "Lines to a Friend" was
the result. Sums of tho rhymes aro quite
conventional, but now and then lie shoots
away from the usual to couch quite neatly

People who know most about music all agree that
the Steinway is as nearly perfect as they expect to
see a piano, and only a Steinway will meet their
practical requirements as pianists, or satisfy their
esthetic taste as musicians. Other pianos are
at best but imitations of the Steinway, The Steinway
has been brought to its present advanced state by
four generations of Sieinways, of whom eighf direct
descendants of the founder of the Steinway house
today produce this piano.
The Steinway Duo-Art Pianola Piano Is the musical
revelation of lie year. Play by hand ; play the roll j or it
plays Itself, recreating the artistry of the great pianists.

We feel a personal pride in the opportunity that our once-a-year reductions
bring to the thousands of women who annually wait for the Mawson & DeMany Jan
uary Fur Reductions.
Real fur weather lias not started, it never does until the middle of January.
So those who waited are indeed fortunate.
Now, we repeat, will you wait till the assortment is depleted, or are you
thrifty enough to take advantage tomorrow?
