Advance Fall Styles in Young
Women's Dresses
After such constant wearing of tub frocks, these beautiful
new silk dresses are a welcome change.
Satin, charmeuse, Georgette crepe, crepe meteor and satin
combinations are the materials, and if there is anything to choose
among them, satin is to have the greatest vogue.
1 In trimmings, fringes are most used, though there are also
a great many beads.
Straight lines are still the dominant note, and skirts are
longer and narrower in many cases.
Sizes 14 to 20 years.
Prices, $25 to ?55.

Have You Enough
Handkerchiefs ?
So many people who thought they had enough found they
hadn't, when the torrid spell used them up so fast. It is a great
comfort to be able to pull out a fresh handkerchief when another
is soaking wet.
In spite of the great scarcity of linens of all kinds, the
Handkerchief Store was never better equipped than it is now to
take care of an abnormal demand.
All manner of plain and fancy handkerchiefs for men and
women, with a wonderful showing of Irish linen goods.
Women's handkerchiefs range from 10c each to $24 a dozen.
Men's handkerchiefs are 26c to $3 each.

T this very moment how much new furni
ture does your home require? In all
probability you cannot answer that ques
tion off-hand. It may be that you have a vague
'idea that it needs at least some new pieces. Your
mind may hold a faint, but disagreeable, impres
sion' that your dining-room suit is not just the
thing; that it lowers the status' of your house,
considering your house as a home; that it be
longs to other days and other ways.
Apply this test to every other room and see
how well your home is up with the times or how
much it is behind them.
It is almost certain that somewhere in the
house there is need of at least some newer furni
ture. The time of all times to look into this ques
tion is now, when the Wanamaker August Fur
niture Sale, the greatest sale in the world, is in
mid-career, with such a selection of good furni
ture as no sale has ever presented and that is
the main thing, the furniture itself, and it is the
furniture itself that we meant to talk about. We
have told in general about the million dollars of new
purchases brought in specially .for this. Now we
would like to draw particular attention to one lot

mitted to be the aristocrats of all domestic rugs. To be sure,
they are discontinued designs, but that does not mean that
they are any the less desirable, for designs are discontinued

lack of beauty.

the regular prices. The same holds good on the following:
