Women's Dresses of Tricotine
$45 to $125
At the lower end of that price scale the dresses are usually navy
and black, button trimmed, braided or entirely plain. As prices-go
up the dresses become richer and a great many browns are included
among the blues and blacks. Sometimes these liner things are
elaborately braided, sometimes embroidered, sometimes beaded or
lightened by a dash of dull gold. One delightful model is combined
with satin and has a one-sided effect; another has panels back and
front beautifully, beaded. And there are very few duplicates.

The Birthright of Children
Who Love Music
is that they shall have the means of hearing good music, correctly
played, while they are sufficiently young and imptessionable to be
influenced by it, and to acquire a taste for good music.
Not every child shows the wisdom of selecting parents who
can play the piano. In all too many instances there is either no
music in the home or there is something that is called music only
by gieat courtesy.
The Player-Piano Means
Good Music Well Played
With a player-piano in the
'home you can have all sorts of
music, fiom the compositions of
the masters to the jazz tunes of
today.
And you will find that the
more you and your children hear
fine music, well played, the less
you will care for any other
kind.
The player-piano's chief mis
sion may be to entertain, but it
is no less important as an edu
cator. At Wanamakcr's you will find
the most notable collection of
(Ksjiptlan Hall
player-pianos and reproducing
pianos to be seen anywhere in
this vicinity.
Prices range from $565, for a
player-piano made in the same
factory that makes the Angelus,
to $3300 for a supeib Checker
ing or Knabe Ampico grand.
In between are other styles
of these famous makes, as wel
as Schomacker, Emerson,
Haines Brothers, Lindeman,
Marshall and Wendell and J. C.
Campbell.
Any of these instruments may
be bought on convenient terms
if desired.

An October Gathering of Gift Wares
in the China StoVe
Here are bridal gifts "thick as leaves in Vallombrosa."
Pickard china, one of the fine pottery products of America, is shown here exclu
sively. It is a rich-looking ware in solid encrusted gold embellishments, fruit decora
tions in colors and conventional designs, all fine brush work by American artists. Fruit
bowls, salad bowls, water pitchers, candlesticks, teapots, .sugar and cream sets, fancy
bonbon dishes in many styles, cake plates and celery trays.
New Doulton earthenware pieces are shown in the charming patterns. One sees
charming patterns in an old English chintz or a French tapestry. Many original floral
and landscape designs will also be found in this collection, the pieces comprising plates,
cups and saucers, teapots, sugar and cream sets, salad bowls, tobacco jars, candlesticks,
match stands and sandwich trays.
We have received a lot of fancy phina from France, very dainty and gift-like in
shape and decoration; in fact, characteristically French. Practically all the regular
pieces are included.
The first Fall shipment of Fulper ware is on view. This is an American product
and one of the most artistic potteries in the world. No two pieces are alike, but there
is such a similarity between certain-vases and candlesticksthat they can "be paired when
necessary., Blues, browns, greens and combinations of. these colors are the prevailing
tones, the glaze forming the decorative feature. In vases, flower bowls and candlesticks.
New dinner ets coming in daily will interest those looking for more elaborate
ana substantial guts.
