Cardinal Gibbons Helped Some of Us When He Said "I have not less faith in the man who is guided by his heart than in the man who is controlled by his head." Whatever illuminates the soul exerts an influence of good over our minds, though continuous training of the mind and great learning are not to be neglected or despised. To be faithful at our post, whatever it be, requires the acquisition of every quality obtainable by both the mind and heart to reach the highest success.

(Third Floor, Chestnut) Home is such a sacred sort of place that it seemg a pity that anything ugly, unsightly or unworthy, even in the way of .material furnishings, should ever get inside its por tals. ' There is something like personality in homes, as there is in people, and the per sonality or atmosphere of a home depends for its expression largely upon the things with which it is furnished. Women seem to understand this much better than do men, being nearer to it and more vividly conscious of it. Four walls and'a roof have never made a home, but given the right kind of people within them the rest is a matter of furni ture. Ever since the moment came when tree stumps were no longer seen in the caves of the first families, and prehistoric fingers fumbled their way to the knotting of the first hammock, the best brains, art and craftsmanship of each successive generation have been employed) in developing and im proving the furniture of the home, and in getting the furniture made and distributed into the homes. Ever since the first- Semi-Annual Sale of Wanamaker Furniture, held 30 years ago, the best art and craftsmanship in designing and making furniture and the best methods of getting such furniture distributed into homes, have been utilized, developed and improved upon in each successive Sale, until reaching "s The Greatest of All Furniture Sales Opening Next Thursday, January 29 It is now a generally accepted maxim that the thing of good quality is the best invest ment, and of staple merchandise, such as fur niture, this is true in particular. Today, more than ever, it is a fact that poor quality does not pay, while at the same time it costs more than ever both relatively and actually. In a word, poor furniture was never so unworthy; pi attention,, never guch a Jbad.in vestmehtas it is now'; Avhile conversely,' good furniture was never so safe to stand by. Having made this the greatest retail sale in the world of any" kind of merchandise through selling good furniture, naturally we cannot afford to endanger it now by selling -the other kind. You can make selections on any one of the three days of advance presentation, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, January 29, 30 and 31, all transactions to date from Mon day, February 2d. 250 Men's Overcoats Each With a Handsome Saving at $35 Good news for a Winter's day, especially for men whose overcoats are not good enough to carry them through the remainder of the season.
