goodness when it can speak for itself in
courtesies, beginning with the breakfast
stable and ending at night when we turn
off the light and elbse our eyes.
Yet, a man or a woman can be
Like an Old Grandfather's Clock

which, so far as its old white face was con
cerned, with a moon creeping in on it at
the upper left-hand corner, combined to
make its hands tell the right time, but
when it spoke it always struck the wrong
hours.
A little careful regulating of ourselves
to strike right at Christmas time would do
wonders .for many of us.
Really, there are Christmas flowers
that have been known to bloom a whole
year!!!

Explaining Our Low
Prices on Silk Stockings
Every day or so vSomebody asks us how it is
that we can sell silk stockings for so much less
than other stores. There are two reasons:
First, because we bought before the advance in
silk.
Second, our extraordinarily large outlet makes
our orders equal to those of the largest wholesalers,
so that the cost to us is in proportion.
We have heic what is admitted to be the most
complete silk hosiery store in the world, with wom
en's silk stockings at $1.35 to $25 a pair, and men's
half hose at 65c to $6 a pair.
Silk Hosiery Specials
At 75c, black and white first grade seamless silk
stockings.
At $1.25, firsts and seconds of white and colored
full-fashioned thread silk stockings.
At $2.15, seconds of accordion-ribbed boot silk
stockings. ,

the stock rooms.
There are all the kinds that women want lovely
lace edges, beautiful embioidcred handket chiefs, initials,
gay colors and the plain and simpler sorts galore.
Everything men like and use plain hemstitched,
initial and novelty handkerchiefs in white or colors.
And ever so many new kinds for the youngsters.
There's a new 65c handkerchief for men that's worth
particular mention it has tapes above the little plain
or hemstitched hem.
P. S. We are still taking orders for maiking or

AIPICO
REPRODUCING PMUO
The Most Wonderful Musical Instrument of All Time
The Ampico reproducing piano can not
be compared with any other player or re
producing piano because its principle is so
radically different. It reproduces through
the vibration of the piano wires as the living
artist is making the roll and not through
the medium of a punch.
The result is a human quality in the
playing of the Ampico that no other player
piano can equal. The finest shading of the
original hand-played performance is repro
duced with the utmost fidelity and natural
ness. Let the Ampico Make This
a Musical Christmas
Even if no one in your household can
play, the Ampico will entertain you with
the finest music in the world, played
by the best musicians.
