The Chance of a Lifetime
May Come Today
when the clock strikes the hour.
'One hour seems just like the other hour marked
upon the open-faced timepiece, but opportunity
carries no rubber-stamp to mark value. She must
be challenged, chased and captured by true thinking
and the General Pershing kind of twenty-four-houred
energy, if need be.
Being constantly on the watch like our soldier
boys, who are all the time moving to new fronts, or
the flying fellows miles up in the sky, or, bravest of
all, the mariners, who are sailing over waters of con
cealed murderers and destructionists, the most
savage of beasts we try to do our utmost in seizing
opportunities. Being thus on the watch, and "hard
at it," is the only way to win our way.
Spluttering never gets far, but honest, double
edged intensification docs gel there almost always.

New Winter Suits of Particular
Interest tp Women
Between $35 and $55 the Grays Salons have a really
wonderful collection of tailored suits for women, suits in scores
of styles and of many kinds. Ever so many women want suits
between these price limits for shopping, for business, for their
wartime activities, for better wear.
. For $35 there is a new model of stripetl velour. Its good
.lines and tailoring aie a matter of note aKd its suggestion of
severity is relieved by its senerous fur collar.
Quite handsome is the silvertone velour suit at $55, which is
a little more than semifitted (as so many new suits are) and has
clever little pockets, seams in just the right places and an air
all its own.
" Also for $55 is a smart plaid worsted suit with just enough
gray and blue and violet in its coloring to make it most attrac
""tive. It has a new collar that buttons high, is belted and has
novel pockets and a new skirt. ,
But there -are ever so many more than these suits in the
new henna brown, in old blue, in gray and green and, black, in
nutmeg or Havana brown, and of silvertone, wool burella, basket
'weaves or other suitings.

New Fall Silks From Five
Nations in This Exhibit
America, France, Italy, Japan and China arc nil beautifully repre
sented. There is variety and comprehensiveness to meet every imaginable
requirement from a fabric at $1.10 to one at $30.
The showing is as rich and attractive as it is comprehensive and
complete and that is saying much.
A great point is that the good's arc new there have been ne arri
vals even within the last day or two.
The entire Silk Salons arc a great symphony of color.
The bhades of n hundred flower-beds are reflected in these won
derful satins, Georgette crepes, shimmering brocades, French metal
broches, superb velvets, white silks, satins and biocadcs and dainty
chiffons and taffetas, all of which aie here in ample showing, making
what we believe to be the finest assemblage of silks to be found any
where. (First Floor, Chestnut)
A Fair Warning About the
Silk Stocking Supply
Did you know that, for the present at least, there are practi
cally no silk stockings to be bought at wholesale?
And do you realize what that means? It means that you
may not be able to buy silk hosiery when the present supply is
exhausted and that in the meantime a great many dealers will
put their prices as high as they will go.
Just now we. are very fortunately situated with regard to
silk stockings. We have large and splendidly assorted stocks
that we contracted for a jcar ago and that we are able to sell at
a small advance on old prices considerably less than ou will pay
for equal grades elsewhere.
It will pay ou to lay in a sup
ply of silk stockings for the next
few years, and If you have any
intention of giving them for
Christmas, by all moans get them
while they are here to be had.
The following prices hold good
for the present on black, white
and colored silk hosiery, all full
fashioned, which means "knit to
fit":
Black silk stockings, $2 to
$4.50; with cotton tops, $1.35 to
$1.75.
White silk stockings, $2 to
$3.50; with cotton tops, $1.35 to
$1.75.
Colored silk stockings, includ
ing all the evening and shoo
shades most in demand, $2 to
$3.50; with cotton tops, $1.35 to
$1.65.

Firmly Entrenched

Fashions Is Crepe
Georgette
as you will see by the many times
it is used to make the new and
pretty, waists for Autumn and
Winter.
At $5 is a new waist with em
broideiy on the front and collar,
and a square neck and square
collar. It is in white or flesh
color.
And at $5.50 another style in
white or flesh color this, with a
much-tucked collar and vest-effect
and little pearl buttons for trim
ming. On the $6.75 waist there is hand
embroidery in lustrous silk to
make it pretty. The embroidery
is on the front, and the collar has
tiny tucks. It is in white or flesh
color.
For $7.50 a woman may choose,
her blouse in white, flesh color,
black or navy blue, for there is a
new style in these colors, with
novel. braiding that is quite ef
fective. (Third Floor, Central)
Better Settle the
Blanket and Quilt
Question at Once
There is something primal
about blankets. They are closely
related to nature aqd nature's
first law of self-protection. When
the actual need for them comes
nobody need be informed of it.
A good sharp wind puts the in
stinct of s,elf-protcction into
opeiation without the need of
further persuasion.
This year they need less per
suasion than ever. They have be
gun to realize that the sooner
they buy their winter supplies of
blankets and quilts, too the
better. This is where the laws
of supply and demand come in.
We hope to have enough
blankets to go around. Ceitainly
we have a very large stock, but
not any larger than we shall need.
The tendency of supplies is to
diminish; and the tendency of
prices to advance.
We leave the rest to jour own
sense of self-interest, but we want
to remind you that you cannot get
better all-wool and part-wool
blankets at the same prices than
you will get here, and it is doubt
ful whether you can get as good.
The came holds true of lambs'
wool and down-filled quilts, of
which we are showing a remark
ably fine stock.

Are You Sure You Can
Get a Piano When
You Want One ?
We wish we could promise you that at any time
during the next year, when you might express a wish,
for a certain one of our pianos, player-pianos or repro
ducing pianos, we could give it to you.
All we know is that our stocks are in splendid shape
now and prices, while somewhat advanced, are in most
instances not so high as we expect them to be.
We do not want to seem to urge you to buy a piano
now, but we do maintain that it is only fair to advise
you that this is pre-eminently the time, if you want to
be sure to have a piano and to get it at a reasonable
price.
As this Store is not dependent on the sale of pianos
alone, it can give such advice with better grace than one
which is.

less than these goods will be marked after that day, September 30th.
It is for you to take advantage of the opportunities presented
during these closing days of the sale, or to wait months, perhaps years,
for a repetition of them.
Supplies of dinner ware and classwarc are not becoming more
plentiful, to put the matter mildly. In fact, they are growing scarcer
and dearer.
Is it not more than likely that you are going to need some of these
goods between now and Christmas?
In that case you gain 25 to 50 per cent by at once buying all you
are likely to need.
After Monday next, September 30, all goods in this safe will be at
