Tomorrow Begins the Real Business of
Sale-
A Cheerful Spirit Is Possible
as a Means of Keeping Young
Look around among your friends and prove the
truth of this for yourself.
, Ask your friend how it is done, and the first
answer is likely to be: "Well, I do not count my age
by the almanac. I am only as old as I feel."
But you say: "Tell me how you get the young
feeling that is in your face and activities," and your
friend replies something like this, probably:
"I do not stop reading and walking, nor fail to
ceep up with the old pleasures of the past.
"I do not read doleful things in the newspapers.
teither do I take up with grumblers and such who
say: 'Uh, everything is diilcrent trom what it used
to be
"I take exercise, sleep well and do not stay up
late Heights.
"I refuse to cherish a sense of neglect or harbor
grudge or ill-feeling against any one.
"I look on the bright side, for there is a bright
fside to everything, and I try to do a little errand,
llend a book, take a clipping from the newspaper,
Swrite a postal card or letter.
"Finally, I strive to impart to whoever crosses
my path some little thing of myself or another that
they may enjoy what I am enjoying."
Try it is the last word, and see how much
sweeter your quiet hours are.
Let the big organ help you.

(Kimt Alula)
There are 60,000 yards of the finest new
Spring fashion silks that can be found in the
market today.
There are savings of from 50c to $1.75 a yard
on every yardof silk in this Sale. These estimates
are very conservative and are based on present
prices.
There arc not any "cheap" and therefore
doubtful silks. The least expensive is a $1.65
black messaline, as good as can be found in its
way, but we do not care to recommend it because
we know the higher-priced silks are better values
and more satisfactory in the end.
And it is perfectly true that women never
were such good judges of silks nor so particular
about the quality as they are now.
Every silk in this Sale has been carefully
selected for its fashion importance or because it
is a staple silk that is always in request.
Certain silks in small quantities have not
been listed at all. Of the most desirable Spring
silks such as foulards, Georgette crepes and
satins, there are plenty. The foulards are all in
the new Spring patterns, and in some cases there
is a saving of $1.35 a yard.
All the silks are wide widths, and each one
is exactly as represented, except that in most
instances it is impossible to do justice to their
real freshness and beauty of color and design.
Therefore we prefer you to see them for
yourselves.

Home of

- had abundant op
portunity to see what
our February Furni
ture Sale is made of,
and they have enthu
siastically availed
themselves of it.
They have seen the
goods and the goods
have told their own
story.
That is the story of
varieties and quanti
ties without equal
anywhere; of prices
as low as it is prac
tically possible t o
have them; of quali
ties sound and de
pendable beyond
question.
What the people
think of it all we have
reason to know.
To many, especially
to visitors from a dis
tance, this particular
sale is a matter of
wonder, and their
wonder has become
something like aston
ishment when they
learned that we could
show three times the
sixteen thousand
pieces now on the
floors and still have
thousands left.
Tomorrow we be
gin to send furniture
from this Sale into
the homes of the peo
ple. It will go to all
points of the compass
and into several dif
ferent States.
Tomorrow also we
begin to bring in new
pieces by hundreds
from our great re
serve stocks, and we
shall continue to do
this all through the
month, so that we
shall have what will
be practically a new
sale all the time until
the end.

Men's Velour Hats

It is because they are so dif
ferent from the general run of
hats that some men think so well
of them.
Hut there i-i a great diffeicnce

of this material you should make
sure it is fine quality. An in

sad-looking object.

color, a glorious commingling and mteiplay of all the shades "that
all the weaver- of the eastern countries are fond of.
blue of varying tones, burnt orange, pern and salmon pink
of the t'hine-e rugs stand out in contrast to the mellow and
elusive shades of Peisian and Caucasian pieces.
The ox-blood led of Mahal, the softer rose tints, captivating
blues and moss-giern of the Saruks, the bold and striking red
and ecru effects of the Serapi weaves all combine to maf;e a
very dimming pictuio indeed.
But this is an Oriental rug Sale, which not onlv pleases the
eye, but stands the test of practical judgment.
In the weaves that we have named there is a beautiful choice
at reductions fiom legular prices. This applies not only to the
Chine.-e, Mahal and Serapi carpets, but also to a fine selection
of Mosuls, Kazaks, Guendjcs, Heluclnstnns as well as small
Chinese nigs.
It i. a veiy helpful sale, especiallv in view of the many
