A Littlfe Gray Fox Seen Some Days Ago

probable, however, that wherever he is now, he'will finally turn up at the furriers.
) You can almostalways tell.the fortunes or misfortunes of animals from
their nature and habits. , y
' " This is also true of men and-women, and particularly so if they arc com:
irterciahzing.
, i, ' To be just naturals not customary.
' '! It is so easy to make merchandise seem what it is not, and so easy to lead
purchasers to look into the salespersons' looking-glass, which magnifies values
to. the great majority of innocent buyers, ignorant of actual value.

accuracy in all its transactions.. )

Women's Fine
and Dancing Frocks
Scores of quite enchanting things arc
hiefden away behind the Gray Salon doors
gowns with tiny ftrajhs and low necks
and the most picturesque sjocves imagin
able; and gowns which are hTgh in- the
back and have no train, but are simply
delightful dancing frocks. And their
colors and materials are so lovely one sim
ply revels in them.
One gown with gold metal cloth body
and" blue chiffon velvet skirt has a train
that is a mere strap.
A dark blue chiffon with jet is a good
example, of the present fondness for blue
evening gowns.
A gown of black chiffon velvet' is cut
in a single piece and is enriched with jet.
A little gown of flowered silk is quaint
nnd suggestive of Pompadour days.
A turquoise chiffon velvet is a copy of
a Lanvin model.
In tjje- entire collection no two are
alike. Prices arc $95 to $185.

For the Vreatest Thanksgiving the World
' Has Ever Known
If ever a Thanksgiving Day called for jubilation, this one docs. Before it all
the other Thanksgivings of the past are dwarfed.
We in America haye especial cause for rejoicing. Our losses in men were heavy
enough, goodness knows, but small compared with those of our Allies. And the glory
won by American arms is out of all proportion to their brief participation in the waiC
More Than Ever This Will Be a
Thanksgiving of Music
Cheering is the first spontaneous expression of enthusiasm.
' But singing is cheering set to melody and made coherent.
And how America will sing, Thanksgiving Day!
Will your home do its part in the rejoicing or will it be silent?
Does Thanksgiving mean any more to you this year than a turkey dinner .and an
afternoon nap?
If You Ever Needed a Piano You Need One Now
And you need a good piano. 'Twould be a pity to bring a stenciled rattlepan
into this jubilee.

to choose from. None of them may be found in any other store in this city.
