Please Feel Free to Take Full Advantage of Our Hospitalities
No Generous Soul Ever
Enjoys His Possessions
so much as when others partake of
them with him.
How good it was for many to open
.their picture galleries, big and.little!
Likewise their gardens and grounds.
How thoughtful to send your friends
r a copy of a dollar and a half book or
even another, not so costly!
Really it is a great idea to learn
by experience that one can double his
own happiness by doing some little
' thing for his neighbor or friend or
some lonely creature.
When people use our big building
for its music, its varieties of articles
that form it into a kind of a museum,
its hospitalities, Well! We are
delighted.

periods.

The Summer Home-
" . Setting the Table in a
Summer Home
The charm of a Summer home is accentuated in th"
dishes, that is, if they are the right kind of dishes.
The meal, any meal, in a Summer Home calls for a
refreshing breeze, just enough sunlight to dispel gloom,
a suggestion of fluttering foliage around the open win
dowsand, on the table, dishes to match all this.
We have the dishes and no mistake.
The nearest approach to the ideal in dinner sets for
Summer houses is represented by the sets made in F.ng
land. There is something in their patterns and colors that
expresses the charm of living in the glorious Summer
time.

"Not Enough
Bands"
Almost every one who saw Thursday's great
pa i ride made that crfticism. The men were splendid,
the whole thing moved like clockwork and every
one lejoiced at the opportunity to do honor to
Pennsylvania's heiocs, but
There weie not enough bands.
To be sure, there were plenty of bands scattered
along the line of march, but they did not have the
same effect as if they had been in the line. It was
noticeable that the soldiers marched better when
ever they came to a stand on which a band was
playing.
Music Has a Place Which
Nothing Else Can Fill
And its place is everywhere in the war zone,
in the parade, in the home.
In the battle area music helped wonderfully in
maintaining the morale.
On the match music actually puts strength and
spirit into a man and lightens his step.
In the home music is an inspiration and a joy.
Any Home Can Have Music
With a Player-Piano
It is no longer necessary to have a musician in
the family. Any one who loves music can have the
best. The finer player-pianos and reproducing
pianos of today are marvelous thing.
