Commencement Gift Books
It's hardly possible to go amiss when giving books, provided you
know something of the tastes of the peison you are giving them to.
This stage of the matter is beyond us, but the Book Store is pretty
well qualified to help at the next stage providing the books you have
decided pn.
Here are books of poetry, the drama, travel and history biographies
and books on business; standard sets and single volumes; aristocratic
finely bound books and books of commoner clay.
All these are arranged and classified on the tables so as to make
selection as easy as may be.

Milan hemps ana the very
fashionable chain-loop straw.
They are in the newest Sum
mer shapes nnd exquisite col
ors, and, as a matter of fact,
most of the bare hats nre
worth 'most ns much as the
pi Ices thoy"ic marked now.
They are wide brimmed and
have the new crowns, some
high, some round, some dome
shaped. And they arc silk
faced to match the color of the
straw.
White, of course, and China
and deeper blues, exquisite
rose and pink shades', soft sand
colors and orchid shades are
included in the list of colors,
and they are all trimmed with
roses, hydiangeas and other
beautiful blossoms in Summer
colors.
You'll agree that they will make delightful Summer nftcr
noon and dres3 hats and you'll agree too that they are l'ather
remarkable for their prices, $12 to $18.
They're fresh from the workrooms.

In Men's Suits, Tropical Is
the Word
But in tropical suits, as in regu
lar suits, there are differences. Trop
ical fabrics, meaning "Palm Beach,"
mohair, "breeze-weave" and kindred
goods, demand a special kind of tai
loring. Wanamaker tropical suits
for men are tailored to perfection, or
as near to perfection as it is possible
to have them. There may be others
that are tailored- as well we don't
know but we do know that our own
are unexcelled.
Our assortment of these suits
affords a man every advantage that
any stock can afford him, in styles,
-varieties, colors and fair prices $18
up to $25.
Scarcely any man needs to be
told that a cool, tropical suit is much
preferable to a weary body and a hot
temper.
In all clothing, however, there is no such odd-looking futility as a
tropical suit of the wrong kind. Usually this is a suit the material in which ;
may keep a man cool, but the cut of which makes him look a little ridiculous.- 1
iiv;ji vnu vamc i-ncii aypcaicwict:, ua wuii cis men- comioic ana tneir'
money, will be extra careful in choosing tropical suits, and the more careful!?
they are, the more our kind of tropical suits will appeal to them. These.4
suits combine the two things that matter coolness and correctliness. k
