If,?"
Hundreds of Millions of
Hf Women
all over the world are in the winning of the
Far More Women Than Men!
Mothers, grandmothers, wives, sisters,
sweetheart and girlies old enough to knit,
but none otu. . "Tin soldiers." No, not
for a minute.
More honors rather than less to the
brave fellows who went across, but
Honors Also to the Women
who strengthened the men to go, and
sacrificed for them and never ceased to
supplicate Heaven in their behalf.
How sure to be right a good woman is!
If the truth be known, one of the
greatest of the forces all the time working
for the peace that brought on the armistice
was the silent, persuasive, all-night prayers
and all-day energies of a united, new
womanhood, on the altar of blood and
suffering.

They Remind One of
Mantles, These New
Spring Coats
And of days gone by when women de
lighted in loose, graceful draperies. '
You will find scarcely one point of re
semblance between these new coats and the
ones women have been wearing, and the
silhouette is as different as possible.
Only the softest and most supple fabrics
are used silk-and-wool or all-silk duvetyne,
evoras, satins or silks.
There are no sleeves, such as we know
them, but the arms are covered. Collars are
loose folds of the material, often ending in
long points, reaching the hem in front. Foi
trimming there is wonderful hand embroid
ery of silk or wool thread combined with
chenille.
Such coats are truly works of art and
cannot be successfully copied in less ex
pensive materials. They are .$110 to $300.

tJs an Unusual Hat That
Does Not-Show a Veil Pin
for the sparkling little veil pin is very much the
fashion this Winter, and most all smart hats
show one in front.
Usually the pins are of sterling silver set
with gleaming rhinestones. The pins are not too
large, and look well in most all hats.
$1 to $C.o0 each.

From the Standpoint of
Your Own Personal Interest
you should keep in mind that one of the greatest store events in the
business annals of this country is now only a few clays off.
The Wanamaker February
i Furniture Sale
When anything has become as great in its way as this Furniture
Sale has become it is bound to exert a great influence in many directions.
We have said before and it is worth repeating that the Wanamaker
Half-Yearly Furniture Sale is now more than a Sale it is something of
an institution.
In its relation to manufacturing and merchandising it has become
a remarkably constructive and stimulating force. Its energizing influ
ence has reached out into other lines, so that in connection with this com
ing Furniture Sale we shall also hold a
Great Sale of Oriental and Domestic Rugs
As Well as Our Long -Established
Sale of Mattresses and Bedding
All of these events will have one common foundation of reliability
in the goods and the savings. Every intelligent person can understand
that even if the people could afford to have them conducted on any but a
high plane of integrity we could not.
As things are now, we never have any trouble in getting the
finest and most reliable merchandise to put into them. In fact, it
seems automatically to gravitate toward them. It certainly has
come in magnificent choice for this
time, in such choice, we believe, as
has never before been seen in Phil
adelphia. The completed displays
will be a wonderful sight, and they
will be ready for all to look at and
select from on
Wednesday, January 29th, the
first of three days of courtesy and
inspection.
All furniture chosen on any one
of these three days, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, January
29th, 30th and 31st, will date from
February 1st.
