The Bigness of America
When the Thirteen Colonies
Signed Up
to the Declaration of Independence, they
represented a total area of 827,844 square miles.
The first great accession of territory was
under President Jefferson in 1803, by the
Louisiana purchase from France, containing
864,931 square miles.
In 1819, Florida was ceded by Spain, with an
area of 59,268 square miles.
Then came along the Tqxas addition in 1845
of 375,239 square miles.
In 1846, the Northwestern Territory,
through President Polk, passed into our hands
from England, consisting of nearly 200,000
square miles.
In 1848, through the treaty with Mexico, we
acquired a strip of about 750. miles of the Pacific
Coast, adding 545,783 square miles. Part of this
land was California, in the taking of which
Fremont, the Pathfinder, played such a conspicu
ous part.
In 1867, Alaska was bought from Russia,
comprising 577,390 square miles.
The total square miles of the 48 States, not
including Alaska or insular . possessions, is
3,025,000. The last official statement of the area
of ' the United States, including Alaska and
insular possessions, gives about three million,
seven hundred and twenty thousand (3,720,000)
square miles.
Have we not something in America to grow
up to? -,
Are we really trying to do it?
This Store, at its beginning, was not much
larger than a woman's bandbox.

Charming Fur Coats
of Nearseal (Dyed Coney)
Nearseal (dyed coney) is better in color and texture than it has ever
yet, been in its history, because furriers are constantly adding to their
knowledge of dyeing 'and treating the skins. Consequently a nearseal
coat may be a very handsome thing indeed.
We have it in many styles, from 30 to 45 inches long, and either plain
or enriched by massive collars and cuffs of beaver, gray squirrel or
skunk fur.
Prices run from $200 to $500.

New and Very Beautiful Coats
Richly Trimmed With Fur
Such coats as any woman would delight to own and wear, and
they are so handsome that they can be used even for evening
wraps, although the darker colors make them entirely suitable for
day time.
They are all of soft pile coatings ovora, velour, bolivia and
silk-andj-wool duvetyne, draped and fashioned in the most graceful
way and extremely new in many features. . s
They have huge collars and usually cuffs of fur beaver, mole,
squirrel, Australian opossum and other furs and thero aie won
derful silk linings. The prices of all these furs have advanced
since these coats were purchased, so that these markings are less
than might bo expected, $250 to $500.

Of
Hundreds of Excellent American
Dinner Sets in a
Great Pre-Thanksgiving Sale
A New Radium
Satin at
$2.50 a Yard
A fine quality, pure silk, 40
inches wide, dyed in about
twenty of the prettiest colors,
both light and dark.
It can be used for founda
tions, linings of dresses under
transparent silks or for fancy
work or lamp shades.
We aie very glad to have this
silk arrive in time for the
Christmas season, when such a
silk is in great demand.
(Flrat Floor, ChrMniit)
This is reasonably believed to be
the best collection of American '
Fcmi-poicelain dinner sets to be
found at the pi ices probably in the
whole United States today.
It is an absolutely new collec
tion, bi ought straight from the pot- I
teries to usher in the great month
of the Thanksgiving feast.
There is a saving of nt least 2a
per cent on any suit in the whole
assemblage, which comprises sov- ,
oral hundreds.
Many are almost 40 per cent
under the day's lcgular values.
This applies in paiticular to one
group of moic than a hundred sots
marked to hell at $25 a set. They
are sets of 10(i pieces in border
decorations with coin gold handles.
The new purchases also include
several hundreds of other Ameri
can sets of 10Q pieces in eight open
stock patterns to .sell for $25,
$27.50, $32.50, $35 and $37.50 a set,
which means one-fourth less than
prevailing values. Considering the
quality of the wares, the prices
marked on them and the condition
of the maiket, this is a most re
markable event.

New Decorative Linens Eloquent
of the Art of Italy
It might be said of them that
they epitomize the delight and
the glory of Italian filet. But
fhat is only part of their loveli

rich, yet tasteful embroidery,

had caught some of the gloiy of
all Italian art, which seems only
reasonable.
They aie peculiaily Italian
and Italian needlework is pecu
liarly fine, and these ale par
ticularly fine examples of it.
Ceitainly it is years since we
have had such an exquisite new
collection. Comprised in it are

To the Chinese, jade is the most perfect mnte
lial in creation, and it is possible to understand
why, when you sec these niarvelously wi ought orna
ments, koros and figurmes. They are of feitzu and
mutton-fat jades; one superb specimen of mutton
fat shows a vase rising out of lotos-buds, the whole
even to the chain being carved out of a single
piece. A 5-inch scieen of mottled jade carved with
figures and a flying bird .suggests the clouds in the
sky. A little phoenix is of mutton-fat, 'and thero
aie sweetmeat tiuys of gray-green the latter used
in the Empress Dowager's household. Other pieces
are o( camphor or snow-flake jade, while the jade
ornaments include pendants and necklaces, both
