Some Architects Have Said
That They Have Walked
around this building of ours often as an act of
worship for the purity and simplicity and truth
of its lines of construction.
That may be all well and good from an
architectural point of view, but the fact is that
it was built not to be looked at, but to be looked
through with safety and pleasure and to be used
as a telescope for looking through the entire
known world for merchandise that steadily
flows into it, in the ordinary course of things.
Its natural growth must add more and
more honor to our entire city.

The Little Hat Which She
; Wears Everyday
to market, or in the machine, or to the Red Cross, in very npt to
be one of those comfortable, practical affairs which the Millinery Salon
.calls a ready-to-wear hat.
It may be quite in the newest style and of lustrous velvet in black
or a shade to match her frock o- suit, but it will be quite simply
'trimmed and comfortable and piactical and becoming all at once
which not every hat is!
There is a whole new collection of these ready-to-wear hats, suit
able for young as well as older women, and the prices will surprise
you by .their moderateness.

attractive new models for which we have been waiting for several

There is one model planned especially for the woman who

untrimmed. It is of soft wool burella in a good model, with punch
and hanging pockets at the side, a belt and a new high collar. It
is lined throughout with lustrous peau de cygnc and is $37.50.
If she wants a fur-trimmed coat, then a new model of soft
wool velour may be just what she'd like. It is made with a lus
trous Hudson seat collar (sheared muskrat), has a double belt and
is silk lined throughout. It is $57.50.
Of the lovely silvcrtonc velour is another coat, which is a
handsome affair, cut generously full, with wide belt and a great,
furry collar of beaver. This, too, is lined with peau do cygne and
is $85.
The coats are in the fashionable Winter shades, including
the new taupe and deer shades, browns, black and navy blue.

Dear Mamma:
Wait till you sec my kitchen!
Henry says I'd better put a
cot in it so as not to be sepa
rated from my beloved pots
and pans, but secretly he ad
mires it too. Henry is what
in olden times would have
been called a "good trencher
man," and he may be glad I
am what is known as an "old-
fashioned wife, just so long
as nobody say I look the part
on the street.
Kortunntely for us, there
are several big sales going on
at Wanainaker's just at the
time we arc looking for things
for the house. One of them is
thd Housewares Sale, and if
we had been a week later get
ting a home I'd have missed it.
The "Housewaie-. Store," as
they call it, occupies about
two-thirds of the Fourth
Floor, and you never in your
life saw such an array of
kitchen and other household
utensils. They are continually
getting in the newest labor
saving devices and improve
ments on old methods. The
fundamentals of housekeeping
may be the same as they used
to be, .but the equipment has
certainly changed.
I bought a kitchen cabinet,
for example, that is really a
beautiful pircc of furniture
and that will save me count
less steps.
The refrigerator 1 got is a
veritable "ice palace." com
pared to the one you had when
I was a girl.
Then I laid in' a supply of
aluminum cooking utensils
and brushes and what not. I
thought I'd better get every
thing I needed while the prices
were down. You see, during
September you can get house
wares for from 10 to 50 per
cent less than they wjll be next
month, and when you have a
lot of things to get, as I did,
thesaving amounts to some
thing. As soon as we are fixed I
want yoj and Father to visit
us. I'm afraid you'll be dis
satisfied with your own
kitchen, though, after seeing
mine.
Your loving daughter,
HENRIETTA.
P. S. I see they say the
Kaiser is going crazy. He had
a good running start.

the Liberty Loan Meeting

that cannot be resisted.
He is going to be called on for committee work and for stump speaking
and for house-to-house canvassing; he is going to be called to be an enthu
siast, an example of the typical American at full speed.
He has got to have a new suit of clothes for it. He ought tojiave the
best suit of clothes that his purse can afford, for there never was a time
when clothing counted for more than it does today.
We can sell you a good all-wool, hand-tailored suit for $2o, and a better
one for $30 and on up to $60.

We Have The Right Suits
For The Boys
No doubt about them. We hae the suits plenty of them and
they are right and reliable all the way through from 'the choosing of
the wool fabrics to the final finishing touch of the tailor's hand. They
are notably good in fit and modeling. As a matter of fact, we don't
believe there are any boys' leady-to-wear suits in Philadelphia that fit
like them and the lit of his suit makes a great diffeience in a boy. l
Rut theie is no difference between the prices of these excellent
fitting, finely tailored suits and the prices of suits that don't fit half as
well and that are not nearly so well tailored.
If you want your boy to wear a suit of quality, this is where you
aie sure to find it.
Norfolk styles, $13.50 to $30; ages S to 18 yeais.
