The Liberty Bond, Red Cross, Emergency Aid, Belgian Relief and other humanitarian works of the past four years, in which the women plunged with might and main, have raised up a multitude of Women of Affairs eager and competent to do a part in the manage ment of everyday business affairs. Men no longer monopolize the business places. Women have been "tried out," and have proven to have as great endurance as men. Women have more tact and accuracy than men. There is far more reciprocity in line manners between women and women. Men have lessons to learn in speech and good manners toward each other. It is a fact that women are taking more pains to succeed in business than ever before and to make themselves independent as earners of their oAvn support.' This many-sided Store, packed from lop to bottom with lovely things, and ship and train loads being received from makers every twenty four hours is a good place to sec how easy and comfortable it is to shop There is a large percentage of our attendants from the colleges and the graduates of high schools. All hours are good, and there is plenty of room for everybody, and no one is ever urged to do anything but to be at home and take time to look before buying.

Christmas comes but once a year, but A Player-Piano Brings Good Cheer the Whole Year 'Round We cannot believe that there arc many people who do not realize what a wonderful gift a player-piano i. We belieo the people of this city are divided into two classes those who have player-pianos and those who want them, with a few who have player - pianos and want better ones. This matter of the absence of a player-piano is going to be remedied in many homes, this Christina',. The question in such cases is which' player-piano to buy. Whether you buy here or elsewhere, let us impress upon you the importance of getting a thoroughly dependable instrument. It is easy to be sure of that if you will just keep firmly fixed in your mind that you want a piano that has a known and deserved repu tation, and not permit any one to talk you into buying some other make.
