Help the Philadelphia Orchestra
Today "Over the Top"
Men and women who make criticisms upon their
own country, city, family enterprises or party, make
reflections upon themselves.
The world has a lot of ill-natured people in it and
docs not spare anybody.
Not Even the Philadelphia Orchestra
"Never cry for better bread than
is made of wheat"
Leopold Stokowski, backed by Messrs. Bok, Van
Rensselaer, Curtis, Morris and others, has spread a.
bountiful table to which Philadelphians and its out-of-towners
have sat down for the past ten years.
Music is a great attraction to any city.
The" permanent establishment of an orchestra of noble
pronortions. its education and development cannot be done
without a lot of money.
A million of dollars is the least sum with which it can be
done.
The worthy financial men in charge of the endowment
will take care of it, and by investments at this time probably
vadd a quarter or half a million to it soon after the PeAce
Treaty is concluded.
It will add four things to this fine, old city:
1 Fame,
2 Contentment of the people,
3 Musical education,
4 Every man, woman and child will be happier.
Philadelphia must be in the march of progress
with the best cities in the world.

Among the Finest Coats Are
Many With
Beaver Collars
"DIG, square collars, round col
lars with points reaching to
the waist, cuffs, pockets and
deep facings of beaver arc found
on these beautiful coats.
And the coats themselves go
so well with beaver, for they are
almost as soft, as the fur itself.
They are of evora, crystal cord,
ribbed bolivia, palouchie, vicuna
and duvetyne. Often they match
the beaver in color or they may
be a. darker or lighter brown or
a dark, rich green. The lines are
exquisite and there are new fea
tures on every model.
The prices range from $230 to
$385, not in the least out of the
way if you consider the amount
of fur trimming on these coats
and the cost of beaver today,

much-used living room pieces have to stand.

Upon the Warm Subject of
Wanamaker Quilts
TFfOOL and down are among the things for which
there is no substitute.
We need not tell you that they are very season-
able things just now.
But we want to remind you of the uncommonly
large and good stock of wool-filled and down-filled
quilts that we aro showing.
The great bulk of wool-filled and down-filled
quilts that you will see here arc our own make, and
wo like our own make to be the best made, although
we get some very good wool-filled quilts from
another factory. In this way our stock represents
the pick of the best kinds. Naturally, there is here
a full range of coverings, colors and patterns, the
coverings being of cambric, sateen, silk, satin and
richest brocade.
Prices for down-filled quilts go from $12 to $45,
the latter prico for real eiderdown ones.
Wool-filled quilts are marked from $10 to $67.50.
In both groupings the in-between choice is ade
quate and very attractive. We are assured that
there is nothing that equals it anywhere else.
