On one occasion he was lecturing to his class in the college and one member of the class, not quite satisfied with his argument on the subject of miracles, hailed him on the street, and to make what he said practical, asked: "Doctor Wayland, what would you say if I stated that as I was coming up College Street I saw that lamp post at the corner dance?" and the Doctor quietly replied: "I should ask where you had been, my son." " So many people always want more testimony. They accept what they hear with reservations. The only way to understand some facts is to personally examine all that relates to them and live with them. Tens of thousands know this Store from years of experience with it. Signed1 August 13, 1910. ? Mfywfi. High Time for Fall Suits Many Young Women Think And the new tailored suits hae come and nie all :eady for their future owners. There are beautiful fashions this jear, long, slim lines, with rows of buttons or braid to emphasize them. The coats, are three-quarter length or longer and often, in the finer suits, theie are side panels trimmed with braid or fur. Large fur collars or small neckpieces are frequently seen and there are plenty of untrimmed suits for young women who want to use their own furs. Starting with sturdy grayish tweeds at $43.50 (just the thing for every doyr school or college wear), there are jersey sports suits, soft oxford mixtures, small checks, severely tailored men's suitings (some even have a binding of narrow silk braid), and so on up to the hand somest serges, tricotines and velours with wide braid or fur trimming, the highest price being $200. In a word, there is every kind of suit here that the young women will need, and a.t almost every price, and we have been particularly careful to choose the best of each kind, even going so far as to have changes made in certain models to add to the attractiveness. All are in sizes 14 to 20. (.Second Floor, Chestnut) ' New Plaid Suitings The kind which Fashion prescribes for spoit skirts, the plaids. being large and small.

(Weit AJilO TF YOU need, or are going- to need, good xuniiLui-u, iiuvv is trie time 10 ouy ic ana this is the sale to buy it in. We have said this before, but it is worth repeating, especially as August days are passing quickly there are only eight more days of the Sale left. Now is the time and this is the sale. We might write a great deal without saying anything more true. For that is really the most significant thing about the furniture situation it is the one fact that stands out beyond all others. We still haye a magnificent stock in this Sale. We shall'have an amplitude to the end. But every piece of furniture our possession in This August Furniture Sale will be marked 10 to 70 per cent higher after August. Prices of practically all furniture have advanced. None of the goods in this sale can be bought to sell for the regular prices that prevailed here before August to say nothing of selling them at the reduced August prices. This is the fault of nobody in particular. It is in strict accord with the law of supply and demand. As things are now the people want more furniture especially more of our kind of furniture than the workshops are able to turn out. You know what happens when the supply is unequal to the demand. As to what is back of a sale at this store, you can form an estimate in different ways. One good way is to gauge the number of dining room suits in it. Measured in that light, this is still a Sale of abundant supplies, despite here for anybody to count them. Of some of these we have just one; of others as many as five duplicates. All are at reduced prices and no other collection comes near enough to them to make com parison worth while. This is so very patent that no body questions it in sincerity. $160 for a William and Mary suit of fumed oak buffet, serv ing table, dining table and china closet.

(Fourth Floor, Central) ON SALE THE ORE pianos newlg reduced pianos taken in exchange other used pianos This Store originated the August and January Piano Sales of used, taken-in-exchange and newly reduced pianos. It was our custom to put our accumulation of these instruments on sale only in those two months January and August. The sales grew until vvc established the vvoild's recoid of 295 pianos sold at retail to individuals in one day. Only the most extraor dinary values could have made such a record possible. Then reoplc began asking us to sell our taken-in-exchange pianos in between the stated sales months. It Hlncd hardly fair to ask these people to wait until a stated pcrioao buy their pianos, so recently we have been selling these pianos as fast as they can be put in first-class playing condition at the Schomacker piano factory. CTRI August is a month in which many piano "bargains" are adver tised. Some of them me real bargains, but many are not bargains at any pi ice. Before purchasing it will be worth your while to see what Wanamaker's has for you. . Kas monthly terms on any piano you may select here. We have at this time about 100 pianos that are newlg reduced or taken in exchange They comprise grand pianos, uptight pianos and plajer-pianos, all lowered in price in the same proportion that made our August and January sales famous. Theso pianos will be on sale tomorrow and as long as they arc unsold, but the values ure so unusual that we do not expect them to stay long. Of course, the pick of them 'will go first.
