How Do Things Look to You,
Mr. Wanamaker?
Is the Frequent Question
these days, since the Store remaineclclosed that
Monday morning when the peace star arose and
we were too happy to do anything- but to take
a day off to celebrate.
Well wc have been celebrating- ever since,
and justly so, and our boys are coming home
bless them and never cease to bless them!
Now that our President has started off
strong in his own judgment to hasten, to the
best of his ability, the terms of peace 'assured
by the armistice signed, and the surrenders of
our enemies which have followed, let us cease to
discuss the wisdom of his going away from the
United States and only judge him by his acts
henceforth.
As the President of the United States, we
must stand by him and not impair his standing
while he is conscientiously doing what he be
lieves to be the best for our great nation.
This is no time for small politics.
Let us faithfully take care of our own home
work, and give President Wilson the chance to
bring to proper conclusions what his brain and
hand have planned.
Let us have peace at home and stop wrangling.
Signed
Dec. a, 10115.

Finding It
In the
China Store
THE China Store i& u
great big gift store in
itself. Everything your
eye lights on here possesses
what one might call the gift
quality.
Very many are gifts, of
real individuality.
Do on know that no i o
of these pottery bowls and
vases are just alike; that as
a matter of fact not one
bowl or vase in the collection
can be exactly duplicated'.'
Not even the man who made
it can make an exact repro
duction of it in color and
finish. That is due to the
firing process through which
all such pieces have to pass
and out of which no two
emerge exactly alike in glaze
and shading.
That surely means indi
viduality with a capital 1.
We have a most attractive
collection of these pottery
vafcos at $2.50 to $25 each.
FOR sick p e o p 1 e. who
breakfast in bed because
they have to ; for lucky peo
ple who do this because they
don't have to do otherwise,
and for good, lazy people
who do it anyhow a favor
ite and appropriate gift is
an individual breakfast set,
$u to $20 a set. Of kindred
attractiveness are afternoon
tea sets for six people at $5
to $20 a set.
Good gifts also are choco
late sets, salad sets, berry
sets, cake sets, ice-cream
sets, coffee sets, chop 'sets,
celery sets.
The beautiful P i c k a r d
ware seems as if it were
made specially for seekers
after lovely gifts. Many
utility pieces will be found
in this group, rich hi gold
incrustations and patterns
of fruit in natural colors
$5 to $100 a piece.
Individual China pieces
