An Old Grist Mill by the Water
Side on a Favorite Drive
sometimes kept on grinding when the hopper was
empty.
It simply mudc a noise, vith its ,big, hard
stones knocking against each other, having
nothing to work upon but itself.
The human mind is much like a mill: when
it lacketh corn or wheat it clatters along, rattling
away as if it were doing something, when it is
simply wasting itself.
Many persons have nothing to think of
outside of themselves, so their thoughts grind up
their peace and content.
A good adviser in their content or occupation
might relieve them from mental depression and
temporary anxieties.
Heap up the mind's hopper with a service of
kindness to somebody. We have often been told
that walking through the Store from the railroad
terminals to Chestnut Street and listening to the
peals and appeals of the morning music lightens
the whole day.

Then there is such a delightful choice of great, soft, springy davenports and "lazy"
chairs in tapestry and also in mohair and velour.

many finely done chairs, reproducing in spirit and outline the beautiful old-time

In the Face of Conditions These
Are Exceptional Linens
Probably you have read or heard of the unfavorable condition. prevailing in the
linen market.
Unfortunately, it is all too true.
What is more, there is no indication that things aro likely to improve, but every indi
cation that they are likely to bo prolonged at least for a year or more.
We ourselves would now have to pay considerably more at wholesale than you are
asked to pay at retail for many of the grades of table linen we are now offering.
There is not an item in the stock that can be bought to sell for anything like the prico
we have marked on it.
Here, for instance, is a heavy silver-bleached Irish double damask table linen, of pure
flax. 70 inches wide, free from dressing; also a 72-inch heavy Irish damask of exceptional
body, both of which are priced at a yard, although it would cost considerably more to buv
them at the looms today.
Another exceptionally good item is a plain white linen suiting for skirts and dresses,
all pure linen, 3G inches wide, $1 a yard.
Every day that passes makes goods of thib kind more unusual at these prices.
