The Victory
Has Dazed
Those .terrible Americans surely turned the tide of war, and the world looks on
and wonders. Lloyd George, the President of the French Republic and the statesmen
of all the Allies say it is true, and Austria and Germany evidently expected it and they
have surrendered unconditionally. Their guarantees to secure a stable peace seem to
be acceptable to General Foch and President Wilson.
All honor to General Pershing for his masterfulness of the greatest military
problem ever set for an American commander.
All honor to the patient and mighty
le peace that was conceived and engineered
ment. V '
But the greatest honor of all to the women of America who sent husbands,
sons, brothers, fathers, lovers to the fiery test of the battlefield, and worked' day and
night for their comfort, and never let any one know how they suffered.
We do not laugh and dance and sing because we have overwhelmed a great and
desperate people, but because we have upheld the principles of our national life and
have proved that they are true.
Now come the necessary final reckonings. Let us be as great in the settlement
as we have been great in the struggle. So shall the world know and forever remember
that America, terrible in war, is also merciful and just in victory.

Best Blankets in Philadel
phia at $10 a Pair
Somo one asked why wo call these good blankets,
priced at $10 (whichMs 60 per cent less than regular)
natural wool-color, since they aro gray.
We explained that the roason they are gray is because
they are in tho natural-wool shade, which only made the
mystery deeper. "Why, wool," said our friend, "is white,
is it not?".
We reminded him that there are black sheep literally
as well as figuratively and the wool of the black and
the wTiito sheep together make a very pretty gray.
Some of these blankets have pink and others blue
borders.

Like Old Times Back
Again to Have These
Oriental Rugs at $15.75
to $35
It is years since we have had two such groups as
these.
Boluchistans at $15.75 to $19.50, in sizes 2x4 feet to
2.6x4.6 feet, and Mosuls at $25 to$35, in sizes 3x6 feet
to 3.6x6.6 feet.
Altogether there nrc about 75 pieces in the collection,
all of them nowly unbalcd; a small enough number con
sidering the unusualness of their value and the desirable
ness of the rugs for Christmas gifts.
We don't like saying that we can't do things, but
it is not highly probable that we shall have another such
collection at the prices between now and Chi istmas Eve.
All are good, reliable weaves of their kind.

A Gift of This Fine Furniture Is a Gift
Indeed and Prices Are Halved
The particular group of furniture to which this
refors is comprised chiefly of hall chairs, settees and
tables, reproductions of just such types as you might
expect to see in some old castle or fine, old mansion
in England. Tho pieces are nearly "one of a kind,"
which is why wo have cut the prices of each down
to half.
The collection is not very large, but it is very inter
esting and, as a gift, anything in it will surely mean
a great deal to the home which is fortunate enough
to receive it.
On account ofthe low prices it is important for
everybody interested in those goods to see them at the
earliest possiblo moment. Thero are chairs and set
tees with high, gracefully curved backs, somo showing
tho plume and visor above the shield, while others
carry out the shell and rococo effect. Some of the
pieces have cane scats, while others have .seats of

Rich and Wonderful
Town Ulsters '
Most Fashionable of Men's
Outer Coats for the Season
At first glance you say
"The army overcoat is responsible for that
and it is great."
Well, yes; in cut, in line, in the manner of their
making they do take after the army coat.
But they are not so long.
They are not so bulkyr
They are not so heavy.
They are not so uniform in design; no two of
them are quite alike.
Asa matter of fact, they are half-way between
a gentleman's fancy city overcoat and tho same
gentleman's storm ulster.
And they'are great!
Splendid wide collais that can be buttoned up
to1 cover the chin and ears.
Some of the collars arc of fine beaver fur.
Belted backs and conforming waists.
AH of soft, fleecy cheviots, quarter-lined, warm.
handy, handsome.
Prices start at $30, and with fur collars they
go to $100. ,
If you are a little tired of the same old thing
in the way of an overcoat, have a look at these.

at $7.50 Each
These arc a new lot of quilts of the. kind we told
some days ago, with a filling half of lamb's wool and

price that equal these.
They are covered with figured cambric in a choice of
three patterns and bordered with plain sateen.
Wc also have quilts with a filling all of lamb's wool
at $10 er.ch. These are the lowest priced all-lamb's wool
filled quilts sold in Philadelphia, which is another way of
stating a fact that people should note, that is, that m '
quilts regularly sold for less than $10 in Philadelphia
are filled entirely of lamb's wool.
We can confidently say that we have the best Iamb's k
wool quilts and tho best down quilts in Philadelphia, all !
of them priced on their merits and sold for what they ar.
