Saturday's Undersea
Cables Told Us
that the nation of China, said to be
four hundred millions strong, had
held celebration of our Fourth of
July.
Today, the 14th of July, is the
Fourth of July Day of France
(who also enthusiastically observed
with us our American holiday).
In the spirit of universal amity,
and in some measure contributory
to an inter, outer, and, in reality, an
inner nationalism, let us sing
together with them the French
people's "Marseillaise," as they
sang, ten days ago, our "Star
Spangled Banner."
When people's hearts meet and
embrace in true brotherhood, our
minds shall find the way to a satis
factory basis of peace.
Vive la France!

Even the material is different from anything
we are accustomed Ho. It is the softest knitted
wool with a finish almost like brushed wool.
The principal feature,
however, of these delight
ful coats is the long scarf,

dered with the plain color
of the coat. The woman
who likes an open collar
will let the two ends hang
down straight in the front
while she of different,
taste will throw the ends
or end over her shoulder.
One or two of the mod
els have the narrowest of
leather belts at the waist
and smaller replicas at the
cuffs.
Only a few of these
coats are here as yet, and
they are tobacco brown,

Player -Pianos
Reduced
Important news to every one who wants
a player-piano now and who will have none
but a good one. We can indorse these in
struments heartily because they are our
own famous pianos.
This disposal includes thirteen player
pianos and six grand pianos. Six of the
players are used instruments, and the re
maining players and grands are new instru
ments reduced because of case changes in
the models.
The savings range from $25 to $750 on
present prices, and as piano prices are still
advancing and some leading factories can
not keep up with the demand an opportu
nity such as this is extraordinary.
Following are the instruments at spe
cial prices. Any of them may be bought on
