Do Not Make the Pat
a Museum of Regret's
Do not sit with your face to the
past, and your back to the future, for
the reason that you are not so young
as you were once."
. Do not put yourself into a jail of
your own making because of mishaps,
sorrows or losses.
There is something worse than
poverty of money, and it is the
poverty of manhood or womanhood.
Healthful occupation is the best
cure -for discouragements. Rouse
yourself, stop off unavailing regrets;
be diligent to redeem the time which
you have left. Almost all the years
still have 365 good days in them.
A mechanic, living in New Jersey,
one day made himself famous by
developing the incandescent light,
without which this big building
would be only a barn.

If Chippendale or
Sheraton Should
Walk Into the
February Furniture
Sale Monday
what would he unlikely to think? For one
thing, each would soon recognize his own
designs, perpetuated, as they are, in a
thousand things which to him would be
the things of "ingenuity most marvelous."
Indeed, either craftsman would find his
style substantially as he left it, but what a
difference he would recognize in construc
tive detail, that feature which means so
much to the life of a piece of furniture !
Here are .the same elegant straight
lines and satin-wood inlays that Sheraton
introduced; the same curving formations,
the same scrolls and frilled work, the same
cabriole that Chippendale invented or
borrowed or adopted and perpetuated in a
distinct type of cabinet work.
But what a difference in the "mechan
ics" of every piece!
It is doubtful whether Sheraton or
Chippendale or the Adam brothers or any
one of the old masters of cabinet work
would know how to open the doors of some
of the wonderful chiffoniers in this Sale,
although the operation only calls for a
simple pressure of one's finger. The
meaning of it all is that this is furniture
that combines the inventive and artistic
genius of different ages.
It is the concrete embodiment of all
that is best in the work of the great old
designers and ofcall that is most prac
ticable, convenient, stable and ingenious
in the work of the present-day cabinet
maker. Think, then, of a Sale in which furni
ture of that type is shown in a choice and
variety such as have never before been
seen in any one Store, probably in the
world, all of it at reduced February prices,
and you will have a picture of the Febru
ary Furniture Sale at Wanamaker's,
which makes another new beginning next
week.
