Once Said "If thou be a severe, sour-copiplexioned man, then I here disallow thee to be a competent judge." Close by a favorite sitting place up-country, where a clear crystal stream ripples at one's feet, is a fine old tree that in some fierce wind, years ago, when it was .little, must have been twisted out of shape and place by the hurricane and made to grow crooked all its life. A well-known Philadelphia man is still remembered for his inability ty be other than sour, cross and ill Matured all his life in looks, speech and manners. It was his father's fault (so it was said)for not starting his boy to grow sweet and straight. The pity of it that a little lad or a young miss should be neglected by parents or teachers and allowed to grow up to be like a snapping dog or a spiteful spitfire of a lady! Not if we know it can there be in any successful store growly, sour, sharp-spoken clerks, growing crooked from want of self control and hurting the business that they are employed to represent. The Winter is past let us keep the Springtime all through our lives! Signed March 0, 1920.

" (TkJrA jfloor, CeatraJ) The Chamber of Commerce of Philadelphia very properly undertook to arrange with the business people the hours for Daylight Saving. Its representative informed us that they had positive assurance that the large stores would open at 8 and close at 4. It proves that this was an error, and that no definite agreement has been made. We have been perfectly willing to unite with all the business establishments, so that all could have an equal chance, but this is not an easy thing to do. s For the. present we will resume the 9 o'clock hour for opening and close at- 5. Full notice will.be given of any change of hours a day or two in advance. For the entire season we have been closing half an hour earlier than most of the stores, in . recognition of the valuable work of our people, who thereby have a little more time for daylight enjoyment. s Signed March SO, 1020. jOUR imported dresses from Chanel and Roland, Paris, are full H of fashion interest.
