Appreciative Visitors to
Westminster Abbey
will remember their interest in the sculpture and
marble tablets that crowd the walls and floors of
Great Britain's lofty Temple of Remembrance of their
overlords of war, statesmanship and literature.
Who has not noticed and wondered at the many
colored lights that illuminated parts of the floors and
walls at certain hours of the day, when the sun struck
through the marvelously costly and artistically
beautiful stained glass windows?
The day will come, many of us hope, when at the
nation's capital at Washington a temple as stately as
Westminster will be erected for the remembrance of
the heroes of America, to which shall be carried our
Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Grant, Franklin,
Choate and other eminent Americans who have served
their nation well.
Let us for our world-famous city take the old
Washington Square for a graveyard again, as dedi-'
cated by our fathers, and erect the Pennsylvania
Cathedral of Remembrance in honor of the thousand
and more of our state troops who lie in heaps in the
French cemeteries.

China and Glassware
and Civilization
China and glassware arc a social asset, not merely in
the domestic sense, but in the sense that they are so much
a part of civilization.
Indispensable as cooks are to civilized man, china and
glassware are as much so.
We know how the particularly delectable quality of tho
most superlative dish or draught that art, or alchemy, or
nature, or all three combined, can produce would evanesce
if we had to partake of it from some coarse-surfaced and
forbidding receptacle, unworthy of its ambrosial properties.
The man who first made china, that is, the man who
found a way of putting a smooth, hard, clean shiny surface
on potters' clay, rendered a great service to the world.
The June Sale of China and Glassware
suggests those things to us. It
suggests a whole lot of other
things as well; for instance, the
selection of dinner sets of china
and of semi-porcelain is fine, the
waies being of the best standard
tpe and the decorations most at
tractive and diverse.
Wo should tell you also that
china dinner sets are getting ,
deal or, not cheaper.
Prices at tho Limoges potteries
have gone up even since wo began
this Sale.
Tho time to buy a dinner set is
when prices are low that is sim
ple common sense.
(Fourth rionr,
In this Sale they are specially
low and the sots nic of undoubted
quality.
French china dinner sets, $32.50
