Fine, .Fresh and Dependable Assortments for Fall and Winter Clothini A Well-to-Do Active Business ' Man Without Realizing It dropped into what became a habit of wearing shabby clothes and dilapidated shoes, saying to his wife and grown-up children, who reminded him of it now and again, that he knew it was so, but he was too busy. Finally his wife, ashamed of his neglectfulness and, what 'appeared to his neighbors, miserliness, persuaded her son to send to a responsible tailor for samples of cloths and cassimeres, from which she, like the good mothering wife she was, selected such as pleased her, and insisted that the son invite a responsible tailoring man to his father's office at hisi most suitable hour, show the two or three samples of materials she preferred, and get him to choose one and be measured for the making. Surprised as he was, it all worked out finely. . t All the good man needed" was to get his unselfish mind a minute or two upon himself. The Wanamaker London Shop did the rest, and the man was once again in his right mind and clothed properly for the position he occupied, and felt better in pleasing his family. Well, in a nutshell, his friends, as they saw him passing on the street, said: "What has come over Mr. ? He looks six years younger than he did last year." No getting over facts. Curious thing, that London Shop, on the Gallery, near the Chestnut Street middle entrance, is very much favored, with its staunch and well satisfied patronage. tSigned Oct. 10, 1919. 7s jffatwz&.

Music is a wonderful bridge to span the years with. Over it friends of long ago come trooping safely to keep ono company. Every one worth while loves music, but to older folk it is a special joy. It is they who appreciate to the fullest extent the companionship of TKe Ampico Reproducing Piano It was not so long ago that people had to wait for music until some one came in who could play the piano. Then tho player-piano came, and what a blessing it has been! And now we have tho Ampico reproducing piano, the most marvelous instrument of an astonishing age. Now, on quiet Darby-and-Joan evenings, or when friends drop in, or when, on happy holiday occasions the old family circlo forms , again, there is music glorious music. Splendid operatic or other classical compositions, or dear, haunting little tunes of tho long-ago. Each played, not as luck supplies the performer, but by a master hand that of a Godowski, a Buhlig, a Vollavy with all the per fection of the virtuoso's technique and all tho firo of his, genius. Tho children's children who ore growing up in that family know no other music than fine music, correctly played. With some feeling a customer told us tho other day of the first evening he had played an Ampico reproducing piano in his home. "My parents live with me," he said, "and while they are, of course, very fond of each other, I never noticed any sentiment about them. They are 'Roman parents' and I took it for granted that they had outgrown that sort of thing. "The other night, when tho Ampico was playing, the old folks were sitting side by side in a corner of thfe room. I had put on a roll of some old-fashioned melody, I can't recall the name, and after a moment I saw Father reach out slyly and take Mother's hand. There they sat, hand in hand, like a pair of blessed chil dren." Ampico reproducing pianos are sold at Wanamaker's only in Philadelphia. Chickering-Ampico uprights, $1800.
