WANAMAKER'S Fine New Fashions or Saving Sales Whichever Interests You Most jy -rs llM lN The Lady Sitting. by Who Is Knitting Furiously says: "I have lost a stitch or two on this sweater for my soldier boy, but I guess no one will notice it." The lady has gone her way and so has the sweater she so iiatriotically made, but who knows what will come of hasty words or imperfect labor? The mechanic who hammered hard on the anchor chains of the huge ocean steamship, which dashed through the rough sea at the landing port of Jaffa arid let go her anchor, left one.link of the heavy chain unfinished, and from the flaw in it the safety of the ship and its passengers was imperiled when it drifted out again into the raging, stormy sea. As a matter of fact, it cost thousands of dollars to recover that chain and repair that one bad link, which on its surface looked rijght, but was really all wrong by reason of neglect or incompetency of the chainsmith. The usual time for the New Year's new resolutions is at hand, and so many of us arc in the habit of dropping stitches or worse! But please do not stop knitting for the boys over there.

And have it forever .stand out in your memory as one of the happiest years of your life, and one which brought music into your life to stay. For music always comes to stay. No one who admits music to his home will ever be without its comfort and inspiration. The Ample Reproducing Piaeo represents the ultimate, to date, in musical instrument construction. By a method radically different from that used by any.other player or reproducing piano, it dupli cates hand playing with almost unbelievable fidelity. We have had concerts in Egyptian Hall when Godowsky played a selection by hand and an Ampico piano repeated it, and no person in the audience could detect any difference. 1919 will be a great year. It deserves a great reception. Welcome it in your home, on New Year's Day, with an Ampico piano.
