They were about a thousand feet above the beach,

days of Spring at hand.
The birds of the South started northward weeks

A Fewr$ew and. Fine Kolinsky.
Furs in Styles for Spring
Kolinsky is one of the furs women like., for Sprung because it
is light enough in weight to be quite comfortable, and because it
is made up in such attractive fashions for the season.
A little cape, for instance, which has a new shaped collar and
fastens in the smartest fashion, may be worn in place of a cloth
wrap or over a silk or cloth gown. It has many tails, is1 beautifully
lined and is $525.
f Even more elaborate, and very, handsome indeed is another
wrap, the skins beautifully matched, the whole wrap richly.Hnud
and finished with tails. It is $1000. " ' . "
But if she wishes a useful and practical stole there is one of
generous width and length at $350 and a smaller throw scarf
at $125.

Men, This Is a Clothing Service
You Can Depend Upon
To the man Jooking for new clothes for Eastertide the one thing that matters is
where he can get just what he wants for the safest low price in the quickest and most
satisfactory way.
Many stores will claim to come up to that requirement.
We have tried to make this a store of service rather than of claims, and this ti
just the time when our service is being tried and not found wanting.
This is a store that men can depend upon to have the suits, the overcoats and the
service theyare looking for today.
More and more men are seeing the wisdom of buying clothing of the kind they
can rely upon, especially since the unreliable kind has become so plentiful. They see tho
advantage of dealing with a store that has always held to a standard of quality which
insures the largest safe measure of excellence, value and service for its patrons.
In the long run, the good quality of Wanamaker men's clothing never costs as
much as the poor quality of some other clothing. Always it has been a good investment
today moro so than over.
Men who want to invest will buy clothing of the Wanamaker quality. Men who
want to gamble will not. Our stock of Spring overcoats is believed to bo tho best in our
history, but no better than the Spring suits are in their way. Prices for suits and over
coats -$45 to $75.

Now York Tribune
There WILL Be Easter Music
in Your Home Will There Not?
Even if you have still to choose the piano, player-piano or
reproducing piano which shall make it, there is yet time.
Music is so vital a thing that great care should bo taken to
make sure you get an instrument that will produce music not
merely sound. And tho kind of music you want soft and sweet,
or brilliant and vibrant.
You cannot decide wisely unless you compare widely, but nt
Wnnamakcr's you have the advantage of being able to compare
widely in one store. Hete is a group of the best pianos in America,
including three that rank high among tho half dozen or so great
pianos of the world. There arc scores of styles between such a
wide price range as $425 to $3250, and any instrument may be
bought on convenient terms.
Supremo among this notable assemblage are the marvelous
Amplco reproducing pianos.
One of the characters in Arnold Bennett's great play, "Sacred
and Profane Love," is a famous pianist, to whose genius the
capitals of the world have paid homage. The actor who portrays
this character portrays it well splendidly. But he cannot play
the piano. And In the first scene he MUST play iW-play it as tho
character he represents would huve played it. How is It done 7
. . . You havcguessed right. Such a scene could not have
been put on, properly, without the AMPICO. .

That
The one individual nbove all others who feels disappointed if he fails
to get new clothes for Easter is the average normal boy.
For church occasions he must have them, but he feels he should have
them anyhow and he is right.
The store that deliberately sells inferior clothing for boys has no
right to exist.
Wanamnker boys' clothing is today what it has nlways been the
standard of the country. We take no special credit for this we believe
it is only ns it should be.
For boys still to be outfitted for Easter, this is tho Store with the
