The Distinctive Atmosphere
of a Happy Home
is much more than a matter of pure air from outside
of ijts massivewalls, or even walls small and simple.
It is not in the fashion of its furniture or works
of art.
The tone of the family life is something subtle
and invisible,, the product of causes combined to
mold the education and spirit of all who dwell under
the roof all the way down to the kitchen.
There must be no icicles at any time of the year
to freeze out the Summer hours of kindness of
speech and courtlinesses of manner; no tempers to
inflame envy or foster suspicions. There can
always be a thoughtful current afloat to quicken
mind and develop powers of thought and conversa
tion for the pleasure of all.
In this big world, in which we have a part to
do, the heart must get its education and good spirit
within the home. Pity and loss if not so. We shall
all be happier workers if our homes are lit with
faith, hope and charity.

A Plain Statement of Facts
Concerning Chinese
Shantung Silks
' In the last few years these silks have become widely popular
because, without exception, they re the best wearing, the best
washing, and thctcforc the most economical silks that can be
bought.
Therefore, we decided to make the same kind of careful
and painstaking investigation that we made in the case of
Japanese white habutais to dcteiminc the best values of Chinese
Shantungs in this city. These are the results
The 65c Chinese Shantung here is only equaled by one other
quality sold elsewhere. In every other store the bame grade is
sold .for 85c a yard.
We have an 85c Shantung that is not matched anywhere
else in Philadelphia.
' Furthein'iorc, we have a $1.50 and a $2 Shantung. Both
are beautiful high-grade bilks, and the latter is the heavy
tailoring kind that stands &uch haid wear as is required by
men's riding breeches and suits, by women's suits, coatb and
sports skirts.
It is interesting to know that no other silk to equal this
$2 quality was to be found at any btorc in this city. One store
has a small quantity of a( heavy tailoring Chinese Shantung
not bo good at $2.50 a yaid.
We have an abundance of this Shantung at $2 and alsq of
all the other grades; they are not "bargain lots," but ale sold
at the&e prices all the year round.
The conclusions are obvious the best assortment of the
genuine Chinese Shantung pongee silks and the most economically
priced are here this moment in the Wanamaker Silk Stoie.

Two Carloads of Famous White Mountain
Refrigerators and the Reason Why
Among the best refrigerators in the world perhaps
the best of all at a moderate price is the White Mountain.
We think so well of this refrigerator that we bring it in
by the car load two carloads have just been received.
The real secret of a good refrigerator is the circula-
tion cold dry air on the 'move and it takes years of
experience to birild a refrigerator that will shove cold air
down, forcing the hot air up, having it pass, over the ice
and become pure and cool again.
' The White Mountain method of insulation is the
simplest, cleanest and purest; the exterior walls are
tongued and grooved, airtightened by double dove-tailing,
and then comes the divided air space, next the heavy char
coal sheeting, re-enforced by tongued and grooved heavy
walls, side to side and top to bottom, and this is the secret
of generating and circulating dry cold air with a minimum
ice consumption. The white interior is baked and rebaked
upon steel until the white finish is really fused with the
metal base, closing every pore, and it grows harder and
grips tighter with age. The exterior has rounded ends and
corners, and the finish makes the refrigerators real fur
niture. Most Famous of All-r-The Wanamaker
White Mountain Special at $30
This is a general utility refrigerator at a low price,
and we have sold train loads of them.
