As the Winter Advances
Women's Coats Grow Finer
No woman need limit
herself to a prosaic coat
this winter! Certainly not
when she may select her
cold weather wrap from
such fine things as these.
A green cape with
sleeves and vest of the
duvetyne which makes the
cape, and a deep collar and
bands of soft moleskins,
with a silvery gray lining.
Or a handsome French
blue duvetyne with a novel
"cape collar and deep collar
and cuffs of Kolinsky.
One of the stunning
black coats is of duvetyne
with folds of the cloth
which are gracefully loop
ed at the sides. It has
great furry collar and
cuffs of Australian opos
vsum. Quite unusual is a deep,
"-rich purple cape in new
shape, with a fold in the
back and a big collar of
taupe squirrel.
And of that soft, darker
brown that is so fashion
able is a wrap of velvety
texture with collar and
wide bands of molesTrin.
They are all beautiful

Hold Fast to
Good Music
Whatever else may fail you, music will not.
And it may be questioned if the world wholly re
alized -that it until it went mad.
Of course, we all appreciated music in a mild way.
A few generations ago the ability to play the piano was
regarded as a mark of culture, and a few years ago we
got a gentle pleasure out of our player-pianos.
But it took a cataclysm to show us what music
really is.
Mars has trampled many of the arts underfoot, but
music has been glorified by him. It took all the horror
and misery and cruelty of war to bring out all the sweet
ness and solace and HOPE that lies in music.
A Piano Now Is a
Real Necessity
Piano, player-piano or reproducing piano we must
have one of them. We need one if we are lonely and we
need one if we are glad.
We need one for the victory that is surely coming,
and coming soon.

The Tide of Beauty and Advantage
Runs High in This Wonderland
of Oriental Rugs
IT IS hardly possible for
any one to appreciate
the beauty, the sym
bolism, the unique place
held by Oriental rugs
among woven products
without seeing a display
such as this.
Here the poetry of
color becomes one grand
epic, celebrating thou
sands of years of art and
handicraft in unique
shades and curious sym
bols, the very origin of
which is lost in antiquity.
But there is a deep sig
nificance attached to
these devices. The latch
hook so common in Orien
tal rugs is thought to be
a variation of the swas
tika, and the swastika
