Every patriotic American should think and talk piospctity, and
wo will have it. In times of depression, when hundreds in every walk
of life ate out of woik and incomes arc curtailed, there Is little money
to spend, but the country is not passing through any such crisis. Tho
demand for labor is still great, nnd ns prospei ity depends largely upon
the amount utilized, the future lies in the hands of the consumer. All
goods purchased require others to replace them, and this means
employment for untold numbers, for the crude product passes through
many hands before it reaches yours as a finished article in the Chest

TO GO behind the scenes for
merly was an experience all
theater-goers hankered after.
They were curious to know how tho
scenery worked, nnd how the sun, the
moon and the star looked at close
range. Usually one visit revealed
that nil was sham and show, but my
visit behind the scenes of "The House
that Hcppo Built" was attended by
no such disillusion. In tho repair de
partment of the "used pianos" one
instrument after another was being
thoroughly overhauled, preparatory
to being put on sale by C. J. Heppo
& Son, 1117-19 Chestnut street.
Here a case was bring polished.
there n string was bring renewed
and a third was being tuned. All
the best makes in pianos were there,
and those who purchase them will
buy solid worth at a low figure.
DUPLICATION in wedding pres
ents is the torture of the
bride. It is all very simple if
exchange is possible, but frequently
the silver nieces are marked with
her initials nnd she. is afraid of giv
ing ofTcnse by exchanging tho glass,
yet what newly-wed wants six bilvei
tiays or several crystal picture
frames? At Bailey, Banks & Biddle
Company they have a system where
by duplication from their shop is War these
avoided. A rccotd is kept of the classed as
gifts sent tho bncle, also of the pat
tern in glass or silver that she pre
fers, and when a new present is or
dered they suggest the one needed
to complete her set. Isn't Hda'
good idea? No more miscellaneous
assortments of knives, forks and
spoons or a dozen goblets of one
pattern and sheibet glasses of another.

S YOUR room nice and piping
hot? Is it so cozy you hate to
leave it, nnd arc glad to get back
again? If it isn't it ought to be,
and would bo if you had a Perfection
Oil Heater from tho Houscfurnish
ing Stoic of J. Franklin Miller, 1G12
Chestnut sticet. What is the sense
of suffering when one of these little
stoves will make you comfortable nt
small expense and no ttouble. They
come in several styles with polished
steel or nrettv blue vitreous drums,
and there is nothing fussy or com
plicated about them. To light them
is simplicity itself, and once tho i
flame is regulated the height you i
wish it cannot creep up to smoking
point. It rndiatcs heat, and warmth
and cheer are yours when you own
a Pcifection. j

TO BE on time is an excellent I
tiait, to be able to seize time
by the fotclock nnd hold on
tight is a better one. Most families
intend owning a Slcinway piano
sooner or later, but somo labor under
the delusion that later is as good an
sooner, a poor argument where
j pianos arc concerned. During the
instruments were noi
non-essentials, but the
Government still needs money, and
thetc is every possibility that pianos,
among other things, will help raise
it, and the result will naturally bo an
increase in price. The time, then,
to buy your glorious new Stcinwav
at N. Stetson & Co., 1111 Chestnut
street, is now, not tomoirow or the
dnv after, but today, while they arc
to be had at their Januaty figure.

they introduced nn innovation: a counter with ready-filled boxes of con

bo seen, and when buying bonbons havo insisted upon muklng my own
selection, patiently (?) waiting while the saleswoman filled my order. At
Christmas, when tho prospect seemed hopeless of buying as I always
had, I took one of the ready-packed boxes, and was delighted upon open
ing it to find the selection equaled, if not exceeded, any I had ever made

IS'INGS and Kaisers may have made wars

MOST magnificent of all the messages
that have come to us across the seas is
Hall Caine's "Babylon The Great Is Fallen!"
Not even bur own President has achieved a
more exalted ideal. And in no Nation has
speaker or writer ever summed up in clearer
or more convincing words what War has
done and what a proper Peace can do!
"Lying out on the battlefield in his agony, the
soldier has always had a dim consciousness of
a day that was coming when the bloody bust'
ness for which he was dying would be done.9
Is not that vision about to be realized at last,
asks Sir Hall Caine. The time has come,
argues the great Englishman, for the noblest
of all empires the Empire of Humanity!
IF you are not interested in the opinions
of the world's great thinkers, you won't
want Hearst's this month or any other.
But if you wantin their own words
what real world leaders have to say, don't
fail to read Hall Caine's "Babylon The
Great Is Fallen " in the January number of
