Tomorrow and Two More Days of the Furniture Sale
Do the Wild Ducks and Pelicans
of the South
have an almanac of their own to tell them when the
State clocks strike the hour when their governmental
protection from sportsmen ceases aitd when it begins
again?
A gentleman familiar with the facts has just told
us that at Mare Island, near San Francisco, a military
station where the gunners have constant target
practice, the quail and other game have a season of
protection from sportsmen the birds arc running
and flying everywhere.
Despite the sharp, resounding reports of rifles,
the birds and ducks never notice guns or gunners.
But the remarkable and well-known fact was
recorded also that with the return of the first day
terminating the closed season, all the game disap
peared, not to return again until the open season
had passed.
Arc these curious little living creatures endowed
with an intelligence equivalent to a thinking appa
ratus or is it to teach men and women not to be
j-eckless of enemies surrounding them against whom
they should be on guard?
The danger zones of life, trade or profession arc
not always plainly marked on the maps.

Every Woman Will Like the
New Spring Wraps They
Are Lovely!
Designers seem never to have lost sight of beauty
when planning these new wraps, for they are charming.
Some are of silky duvetyne, a fabric that makes
handsome wraps, because it lends itself so admirably
to the new fashions. One taupe duvetyne wrap is quite
full, but has sleeves and is absolutely unadorned save
for many tiny, tiny tucks. It is lined with rose-colored
silk ' ...,,,
Another wool duvetyne coat is in a rich golden
brown with one of the new and very full collars and
slits for armholes, and is belted across the front. It
has blocks of velvety chenille on the collar and the
bottom of the wrap.
But there are many other wraps of cvora, of
bolivia and of silk duvetyne some embroidered, others
plain but all stunning. They are richly lined and
beautifully made and there is usually but one wrap
of a kind.
$125 to $275.

For Their Majesties, the
Babies, the Spring Carriages
Are Ready
Habies vcic never so ini
poitant as they aie this
minute.
The State puts a higher
value upon them; experts aie
more earnestly concerned
about their health, ccn
fathers and mothcis might be
said to care more about them,
if that were possible.
All of which suits the small
autocrats to perfection. Also
it means more pink checks and
more shining eyes, more
dimples and fat legs. More
sheer well-being, in shoit, than
babies ever boasted of before
in nil their tumbling, small
lives.
And baby caniages have a
very large finger or lathei
wheel in the pic, being indis
pensable to those tides in the
open air and sunshine which
aie one secret of the rosy
cheeks and all the other prize
points of babyhood.

American Dishes Added to the
White House Collection
In telling of the work of beautifying and redecorating the White House at
Washington, a dispatch states that "a new set of china has been added to the collection
of former Presidents."
"Strange to say," continues the dispatch, "it is the only set since Washington's
time that is 'made in America.' It is heavy, in burnished gold and blue enamel, and in
the center in embossed gold is the seal of fie United States."
America has made tremendous strides in the art of pottery-making of late
years. The most striking proof of this is the exceptionally fine collection of
American Dinner Sets in the Spring China Sale
These can be had at prices ranging from $17.50 to $50.
Some at $32.50 are particularly good examples of what the American potter is
doing. These include American sets of 107 pieces, decorated with coin gold bands
and with solid gold coin handles. These sets usually sell for more than, half as much
again.
On another American set of 10(5 pieces the narrow border decoration has the
touch of black that so individualizes china, daintily wrought in a fine and tiny running
pattern, broken artistically here and there, that sets ofT the wee pink roses most
beautifully.
A very interesting feature of the China Sale is the special display of dinner sets,
shown on one long continuous counter running through the center of the China Store,
and on which we show in most convenient form our entire selection of dinner sets of
American and English porcelain, French and Japanese China, all of which arc being
offered in this Spring Sale at 20 to 50 per cent less than regular prices.
