WANAMAKER'S Store Opens at 9 WANAMAKER'S Store Closes at 5 WANAMAKER'S WEATHER Fair Gef Ready! Another Hot Spell Is Predicted for This Week-end r 12-. IV, IVi it H' It o r S- . Strangely Enough, the Atlantic Ocean in our thoughts, is not half as wide as it used to be; The balloons traveling over it, and the airplanes, and the visions of inventors and engineers and the Columbuses who are explor ing the air, altogether have created the belief that the whole world has come to be neighbors. The making of a voyage across the seas forty years or more ago had in it the facing of perils and uncertainty that led people, before entering upon a voyage, to settle up their affairs, rewrite their wills and take leave of families with considerable uncertainty as to what time and travel might produce. Within the past week some daring air explorer was free enough to say that we could start early from Newfoundland, cross the ocean, have dinner on the other side of the sea, and return home before daylight of the next morning. To have the feeling of nearness to the old homelands is not nearly so important as to have a new sense of being neighbors with the men and women to whom we have been united in fighting the battles of the war in the Red Cross, the Y. M. C A., the Knights of Columbus, the Salvation Army and the Y. M. H. A. work with the army. It must also be remarked that the visits of General Joffre and Secretary Viviani, of France; Sir Arthur Balfour and Lord Reading, of England; Baron Monchcur and General Leclerq, of Belgium; Envoys Enrico Arlotta, Guglielmo Marconi and others, of Italy, have formed new links of friendship and affection with our brothers and sisters abroad. The kindly things that have been said by Joffre and Premier Lloyd George, and the splendid things spoken by Clemenceau and President Poincare, have drawn all of us so close together that we feel we are shaking hands with them and applauding them every day. We may fairly say that we feel ourselves to be Near Neighbors The returning of our soldier and sailor boys, with their memories of the kindnesses and hospitality that have been extended. to them, adds to our assurance of continuing neighbor liness. Little by little our business relations are starting and we have hopes that some of the merchandise we used to have will be coming alng again, though we are also hoping that our American manufacturers will help us to keep all the money to be laid out for merchandise in our own country, instead of sending it abroad. There are a few things, however, that we do not make in this country that we must learn to make. Signed July 9, 1919. Young Women's White Frocks Not Quite Fresh All Reduced Some need but a hot iron to make them fresh, others are in need of a tubbing, but every frock has had its price altered. ijMade of white organdie, voile, or net, the dresses are ter so many styles and useful for many occasions from iing wear to informal dinner parties and dances.
