We haven't got all we want, but we will all do without rather than have anything made in Germany or Austria. It is a law to We observed at this 'time when toys are scarce and cargoes have recently come in from over the sea, "made in Germany." We are making more things in America- nowadays, and they are well done, and we shall never again be so dependent upon the old coun tries for toys and playthings. All over our big building the suitable things are appearing in almost all sections. Do not be scared into buying, as there is no need to hurry, except the assortments are now at their best, and much that we have, when sold out, cannot be replaced this year. Signed Oct. 28, 1918.

(Fifth Floor. Market) Music Is Sweeter in the Dark In these days, when every lump of coal counts, it seems pertinent to call attention to the fact that music sounds sweeter when the lights are low or when there are no lights at all. Who cannot recall some twilight hour, as the soft shadows weie engulfing the woild, when the chords of a cherished melody echoed to new and deeper feeling ? And, conversely, how would you like a concert at the Academy'of Music with all the lights blazing? Try Playing Your Piano When the Lights Are Low Or if there is light enough from the street, or from some other room without any light at all in the. loom where the piano is. vThe saving of light may be small, but the gain in enjoyment will be large. Vou will probably find that you never fully realized before just how much pleasure you could get out of music. There will be nothing to attract your eye and distract your mind. You will let yourbelf go-and only by letting yourself go can you get all the good out of music. Have You a Piano for These Early-Dark Days? The clock is back on its old schedule and dusk will soon fall hours before dinner time. Sonne people dread these" hours, while others love them. Th people that love them have pianos. It is the same with the long Winter evenings.
