I MO UIO MSH1UNS IN iiiilMY TO WINTER 1
Just Out of Their
Trust Paris to reflect a newer, gayer
note, if there is one to reflect ! If you do
not believe Paris feels more cheerful, more
buoyant, come see the new hats and they
will tell you. There is still a suggestion of
the military still a charming simplicity
but the hats are brighter, gayer than they
have been for a long tme.
And there are hats from the foremost
modistes, too, to tell you what Paris has
decreed for the Autumn and Winter,
There are charming and unusual models
from
Jeanne Lanvin
Lewis
Marie Louise
Marie Lancrcf
Suzanne Talbot
Maria Guy
Evelyn Varon
Georgette
Among the More
Important Fashions
you will notice
Much of the new rust color Suzanne
Talbot uses it in piquant small hat, with
fluffy feathers in the same shade.
And feathers you will see them
everywhere! Ostrich, curled and un
curled, and the new burnt ostrich that so
many of the new French hats show. Little
stiff feathers, too, and wings and an
other Paris hat (it comes from Maria
Guy) is almost wholly of stiff feathers in a
lovely creamy brown shade, which matches
the velvet tarn it adorns.
THE Wanamaker Standard
Rotary Sewing Machine Is Re
duced for September
No use wasting words to tell you what you know
that scarcity of wood, metal and skilled factory opera

ascension, aie able to nnd are going to place as many as
we now have in American homes at the price (for
September only) of $37.50 for hand-lift, $40 for auto
matic lift.
The Wanamaker Kota-y is a splendid, laboi-saung,
swift-woiking machine. If you don't want to take our
word for it, you're welcome to
Kneel Down and Squint
under the plate of a Rotary at that busy little wheel,
always on the job, and then under the plate of even a
good shuttle, nvhatever its hurry, must pel force go and
come back, no and come back if you want to assure
yourself that the continuous rotary motion U smoother
and swifter than any other motion.
You know the Wanamaker Rotary makes both lock
and chain stitch, and has the central needle, with ticadlc
at left, which eliminates the tiresome sidrwisc twist of
the spine.
Oak eases and four drawers.
Easy arrangements may be made for purchase.

Its Drum Beat
caning on all good men and true to come
suits.
There have been most extraordinary difficulties to overcome in order to get
all-wool hand-tailored clothing for this season.
But we have not been in the clothing business for 57 years for nothing.
We have relations with manufacturers grown out of many years' association
that are better than the usual clothier's relations, and in many instances they, will
take pains for us that they will not take for others.
You may say that Wanamaker's has the first pick of the best from the men's
clothing market.
So you will see that our customers have the best pick of our best pick.
Good, sound, all-wool hand-tailored Fall and Winter suits are ready now in
ample variety at $25 to $60. .. ,
There are indications of a scarcity later, and it is exceedingly unlikely that j',
prices a few months from now will be as low as they are at present. ' j
