A Famous Portrait Painter Was
Engaged Upon His Own Portrait
and asked his intimate friend, standing by, for his
opinion of the likeness.
The reply was, "It would be better if you could1
keep to your own portrait, but you seem to be trying
to improve upon your own face."
There is a great deal in the manner of bringing
truth forward in such a way that it is npt overpainted
and made ineffective.
After all, the public is the jury which has the
casting vote.
Very few individuals have any true sense of
invention.
And your own shadow often falls behind you late
in the day.
Strength, sagacity and a straight line arc the
safest in the long run.

If You Asked for a List of
All the Furs in This
January Sale
First Showing of New Spring
Coats for Women
TMPORTANT becauso it
brings two very interesting
new fashion tendencies.
One is the "costume" coat, n
cleverly designed garment of
silk-and-wool duvetyne, partial
ly fitted into the figure at the
waist line and giving the appear
ance of a smart tailored suit.
There is hand embroidery on the
coat panels or down the sides
and back of the skirt part, on the
cuffs and the long square-end
shawl collar. In one case the
collar and pait of the cuffs are
of mole.
The other new fashion is as
different as possible but none the
less charming. A dolman wrap,
narrow as to shoulder, full over
the arms and finished with a
straight band or shirring to make
it cling from the knees down.
There are some beautiful
wraps of this kind in satin, du
vetyne and duvetyne with satin.
One very lovely affair has a high
turn-over collar of squirrel fur.
As for the prices, they start at
$135 and go to $300.
(First Floor, Central)
it would sound like a fur
catalogue for there's
every fashionable fur
here! There's the pretty
Scotch mole, soft and fine
and beautiful (and so
much worn this year!),
the practical and becom
ing skunk, the pretty
golden brown beaver, all
the foxes from cross to
pointed fox, the wolf furs,
the rich brown minks and
the fine Hudson Bay and
Russian sables. There
are neckpieces of all the
smart styles from little
collars to huge stoles and
scarfs, and there are muffs
to match the neckpieces.
$26.50 to $500 is the way
the prices go. And these
prices, incidentally, are
precisely a third below the
usual selling prices.
The Fur Coats Are Handsome
and these, too, are much
below regular, a quarter,
to be exact. They include
the plain furs like musk
rat and beaver and racoon,
the pretty gray squirrel
(Second Floor, Ctientnnt)
and the Hudson seals
(dyed muskrat), as well
as the trimmed coats, with
contrasting fur collar,
cuffs and bands. Fur
coats start at '$123.25 and
go up to $1106.25.

If You Make 1920 a
Year of Musie
it will be one of the most enjoyable years of your life.
And it is not too much to predict that it will be a year
of greater achievement, with you.
Because we think of music chiefly in terms of enter
tainment, we do not give it the credit it deserves for
inspiration.
We all know the adage, "All work and no play," and
music comes under the head of play; it is a relaxation.
Every one is better for an hour or two of musics better
in spirit and better in mind.
The Flayer-Piano Brings Music
to Every One
You need not be a trained musician, or have a musician in
your home in order to get the bonefils of music. The player-piano
has changed all that.
With a player-piano you can liac good music whenever you
want it, better music than any but a very few people can make by
hand.
But it is important to get a good player-piano, one that is
rich in tone and natural in expression. Even with the great
strides made in the past twenty years in player-piano develop
ment, there is still a vast difference between the fine mechanisms
and the inferior.
At Wanamaker's you will find Ampico reproducing pianos and
Angelus player-pianos, the greatest two reproducing mechanisms
in the musical world. And they are associated with such noted
pianos as the Chickering, Schomacker, Emerson, Haines Bros.,
Lindeman, Marshall and Wendell, J. C. Campbell and tho cele
brated Knabc.
Prices range froi $600 for a player-piano mado in the same
factory that makes the Angelus to $3800 for a superb Chickering
or Knabc Ampico grand reproducing piano.
