It Was on This Day, April 25,
111 Years Ago
that the famous Duke of Wellington, after twenty
one years of the most arduous service in the British
Army, was promoted to the grade of Lieutenant
General and was made Commander-in-Chief of the
forces in the Peninsula. '
He was Prime Minister in 1820 and Commander-in-Chief
of the British Army in 1827, later serving
as one of the ablest and most valued advisers of
the young and sprightly Queen Victoria.
In Revolutionary times General Washington and
Jiis officers had very few promotions until the war
was over.
In these days when our soldiers are coming
home we look eagerly to see what stripes and bars
and leaves and eagles and stars they bring with them,
to tell of their promotions.
One comes home with the stripes of a corporal.
We give him a handshake and hearty congratula
tions. The next fellow comes home a captain and
we have a dance around him.
Some of them have gone clean up to the grade
of lieutenant-general, which was the rank which was
held by Washington when he died; and Pershing and
Bliss have been made generals, along with our own
Pennsylvania General, March, all after long and
most arduous service in one of the most difficult and
exacting professions in the world.
Some people think that they ought to be recog
nized or advanced every ten days.
Let them read the biographies of these great
soldiers to find out that great advancement comes
only by1' means of great endeavor. n
People say, "This is a big store of yours, and
we often say, "It is not as big as it will be."
You would hardly believe how little it used to
be a little beggar of a store with hardly room to
swing a cat around in it and it did not grow up
into a
Lieutenant-General of a Store
in a single dav, nor in ten thousand days. Its progress
was step by step, from rank to 'rank, slowly, surely,
thinking, toiling, trusting, winning its battles by the
power of its work and .gaining its stature by the
growth of its endeavor in the service of the people.

Along Without
a Suit
for a suit has a place all its
own in the feminine scheme ot
clothes.
For knockabout and general
service, the sports suit ot
roughish tweed or of wool
jersey has -a prominent .place.
It is rather severely, tailored,
usually, and hus an individual
style. -
But the suits for dress wear
are particularly attractive this
Spring. What with their little
blouse jackets and narrow
belts, their glistening and
colorful vests and silken
braiding, they are prettier
than ever. Blue serge or tn
cotine makes them, generally.
$27.50 to $45 14 to 20 year
sizes.
