My first love was my mother, and my
first home was inN her heart. My first bed
was upon her bosom. Leaning little'arms
on her knees, I learned my first prayer.
A bright lamp
she lit in my soul
that never dies
down or goQs out,
though the wjnds
and waves of
fourscore years
haveswept over
me.
That light she kindled
still sheds a helpful glow
over days and ways with
many changes.
Can it not be that each
of us may keep younger
by nearness to the one
who listened to you with
her heart like Mary's
Son?

The Way We Overcame a Silk
Stocking Shortage
Women have been so eager for fine black silk stockings with
openwork ankles or openwork clocks that they bought up the
market. When we tried to get more, a short time ago, there were
none to be had.
But we had a surplus of colored hose of these styles of a
splendid quality of silk. And as our customers much preferred
black wo had the.se stockings dyed black and Monday we put them
on sale at the regular prices. So far as we know, they aic the
only-stockings of this kind to be found in Philadelphia.
Openw ork clocks, $2.75, $3.50, $4 and $5.
Opcnwoik ankles, $3.50, $5 and $0.

The Finest
of Blouses
both French and American made
may now be seen in the French
Room. Voile, handkerchief linen
and batiste' are usually the mate
rials, with hand embroidery, hand-drawn-work,
tucks and frills, and
occasionally real Valenciennes or
some other lace for trimming.
Prices run from 9.75 for the sim
plest to $85.

The Finest White Shantung Silks
Come Only at Long Intervals
Four or five years between the importations is about the usual
period, and now there is a new importation.
They are beautiful crepes and plain white Shantungs, hand loomed
and with the exquisite softness characteristic of these Shantungs and
the unevenness of the threads.
England and France think highly of these silks for embroidered
shawls and kimonos., the finest of blouses, negligees and lingerie. It is
almost impossible to wear them but, so they arc one of the best silks
for men's shirts and women's dresses.
The imnortation is a fairly small one. hut there are two irrades
of crepe and three of pongee. All things considered, the prices aic
remarkably low, $3, $3.50 and $4 a yard.

Some of the Most
Unusual Bead
Necklaces
that we hae seen are among the
fascinating new things in the
Jewelry Store.
They como to the waist, so you
will see they are much longer
than the usual necklace. Of
richly colored beads, some are on
metal chains, and some on silken
cords. Sometimes' carved wood
bcadsate introduced, sometimes
artistic metal beads or ornaments
add to their charm.
Many have unique pendants
great silken tassels, or perhaps
imitation bhell ornament or an
Egyptian-looking ornament.

Fine Oriental Rugs in a
Special Sale
Several very attractive new purchases of Ori
ental rugs have lately been opened up, bringing an
interesting choice of carpet and smaller-sized pieces.
Monday we shall offer these in a special sale at notably
low prices, together with some excellent lots of carpet's
taken from our regular stock and reduced.
Keeping in mind the state of the Oriental rug
market, in which supplies are still limited and prices
continue to show a rising tendency, the offering of
such a good assortment of authentic and desirable
weaves as you will find in this sale at such low mark
ings is a distinctly unusual event, of which anybody
needing an Oriental rug, or likely to need one later on,
should take quick advantage.

Piano Means lor

The leason we play the puno is to make music not to excr

And the ambition of every one who ccr learned to nlav a

Then along came the Ampico icproducing piano, which
plajs lar better than all but a ery, veiv few of us can ever
hope to plaj. Is it an wonder that such an instrument is
taking the place of the moic limited piano?
Of eouise, vnero will always be peorjle who like to play by
hand and who get moio satisfaction out of an indifferent perform
ance of their own than out of tho Ampico's perfect playing. An
Ampico can be played by hand, if you like.

(iKl-AT music played by a repiodunng piano, rather than to
pick out something with one lingei, even if it is our own special

The Ampico lopioducmg piano is so nearlv human in its
performance that you never think of it a a mechanism. It seems
almu as if the spirit of thc aitisl it lepioduces animated the
