A Letter a Few Days Ago From
the Vicinity of Pompeii, Italy
recalls vividly visits years ago to the desolate city,
a
few hours by 'the burning lava of
ruined in
Vesuvius.
No one can forget the little Museum of Pompeii
and the Roman soldier therein, garbed in full armor,
who stood to his post by the city gate in that storm
of fire.
' Mark Twain, writing of Pompeii, said of this
sentinel: "There he stood erect and unflinching till
the ' that raged around him burned out the
dauntless spirit it could not conquer."
To prefer death to dishonor is a finer thing than
life.
The man who can stand to his convictions is
great in any age.
The days to stand alone like the Roman soldier
at the post of duty are not yet past.
Every city in the land, and every rank of life
statesmanship, trade, journalism calls for men of
staunch convictions and backbone to courageously
meet the mob of blubbering time-servers, regardless
of personal consequences.
This New Kind of Store from its first days is
better today than it was then, and it glories in its
distinctions.

Sept. i, 1919.

Dinner Sets at $25 to $50
in the China Sale
Often people make their plans to purchase a dinner service at "somewhere
between $25 and $50."
In our September Sale of China we have plenty of good dinner sets for
less than $25, but if our advice is asked by the customer we do not hesitate to
recommend that $25 is little enough to pay, considering the importance of the
dinner service in the daily life of the family.
And while we have plenty of sets for more than $50, we have hundreds
of beauty and worth at that price or less than that price.
These sets at $25 to $50 include French china, English semi-porcelain,
American china and American semi-porcelain and Japanese china.
They are sets of 106 and 107 pieces and all of them are 25 per cent less
than regular in the September Sale.

OW. this tastes something like Butter!" said Alice, with decision, as she
extended a languid hand for a third slice of bread.
"Why, what did the other taste like?" asked her mother, innocently.
"Axle urease." said Alice, still more decidedly. "No matter where you bought
it. or how hard you tried to make out that 1 was cranky or imaginative! This must
have come from a new place, didn t it:
"N " began her mother, but her father
interrupted, with a cheery:
"Yes, Alice, dear, a new place!"
He gave a significant side wink at
Mother. "And the beefsteak came from a new
place, too. I notice from the look of your plate
that vou haven't any fault to find with it,
either."
"Yes, it tasted good to me," admitted
Alice, rising to leave the table. "I believe I'm
really getting better now. for I enjoy my food
more. I'm glad you've stopped being so stingy
with the ice-water at meal-times, too. I can't
help being fussy about my food and I know
meat or butter with a past when I taste it, if I
ami only sixteen."
The exit of the lanky, rather dragging
figure was watched by her father with affec
tionate eyes, and by her mother with eyes that
were anxious as well as affectionate. When the girl was out of sight she said:
"Well, Father, I suppose a new refrigerator is a new place for food to come from."
He nodded. "T knew that White Mountain refrigerator I bought at Wanamakcr's
in the September Housewares Sale must hive arrived!"
"Because Alice has stopped saying anything unpleasant about the food?"
"Because I have stopped tasting anything unpleasant about it myself," he
amended, grimly.
"I knew." he continued, "that the child's complaints were not unfounded, and I
was sure all along that it was the fault, not of the food you bought, but of that old,
poorly insulated refrigerator, that's done nothing for the past six months but waste
ice and collect odors.
"That was why I stopped in at the Wanamaker Sale when they advertised
refrigerators that were positively safe and sanitary. I knew I could take their worj
for it anyhow; but as soon as the scientific principles on which the Wanamaker White
Mountain is built were explained to me, I felt as a matter of fact that, glad as I was
of the nice little savings represented by its special September Sale price, even the
regular price is low enough for such a splendid, trustworthy preservator and con
servator of our ice and food.
"You know I brought vou home the little book which explains in detail all its
points of superiority to other refrigerators obtainable at similar prices the features- I

As he (Opened his eyes wide, she continued, smiling slightly:
"Get me a lot of good, new cooking utensils aluminum, and that fine enamel
