Tho tt omen's Auxiliaries will bo pat

American Involution in many respects.
They will consist of the tvidotts, wives,

In order that the tomeu members of a
sertlce man's family may become elig
ible to membership in the auxiliary, it
is neecss.nr.t (lint the service mau
affiliate with the I.igion.
There is no hoiioiary membership in
the Legion, uicouling to the action of
th ii national contention. Consequently,
the auxiliary organization will be com
posed of women who hate actual ties
with world ttar vi renins.
With a Legion membership in Phil

10.000, and ttill expand as tho Legion
enlarges.

In forming an auxiliary, but it is aUo
interesting itself in tho building of a

Make Darlington's Your

Last year several thousand more people did all
or a part of their Christmas shopping here than
ever before and remember that this will be the
82d Holiday season that this store has served
Philadelphians. This year we know that an already
large number will' be greatly augmented by new
patrons.
At Darlington's one is assured of the quality
and desirability of the goods; is assured of fair
prices ; is assured of good service ; we have a bright,
cheerful, well-lighted, conimodious store four
large selling floors and two non-selling floors, each
the length of a city block.
In the minds of many people we are identified
with exclusive and high-price merchandise, and it
is quite true that we do carry large stocks of such
merchandise. Several shipments have come in the
past few days from France (after long delay at' the
docks in New York) consisting of Blouses, Lingerie,
Infants' Goods, Jewelry, Beaded Bags and Novelties.
But we have moderate-price wares as well there
are scores of things for gifts at $1.00 and less, and
we have a wonderful assortment of Handkerchiefs
at 25c and 50c.

day. Visit all of the floors there is something of
interest in every section.
