Our old and dear friend, George H. Stuart, merchant, banker, President of the Christian Commission during the Civil War, and close friend of Anthony J. Drexel, whose father and brothers established the three leading banking houses of Philadelphia, New York and Paris, showed to the writer little Testaments which, carried by' soldiers .in their breast-pockets, had been partly pierced by bullets and thus prevented the loss of life. Quite recently Mr. Lewis Twaddell, Treasurer of the Pocket Testament League, showed the writer a New Testament which was said to have saved the life of an American soldier in the recent war, the thick pages bearing the marks of a lodged bullet. It is painfully apparent since the war that there is, at this time, a desperate spirit of recklessness in destroying human life, in stealing automobiles and in smashing windows for the purpose of robbing, even at the risk of committing murder. Something ought to be done and that quickly. The newspapers of the United States spread everywhere everything that goes on in Philadelphia, that might have been the capital of the United States.

One of the Loveliest New Spring Wraps Is of Moleskin Four great folds of the glisten ing, soft little moleskins make this stunning new wrap but they are four folds so cloverly shaped nnd so smart of design you're not quite sure where one leaves off and an other begjns. There is a deep, close rolling cape-like collar, and the wrap is of generous proportions. It lias a novel idea as to the lining, too for two silks are used, a dark, rich blue, and a wide and striking band of rose-colored silk, with a gleam of gold embroidery. It is $650. Other moleskin stoles and scarfs and wraps are here in fascinating variety and moleskin makes a most satisfactory spring fur. Prices begin at $45 and go on up t6 $700.

One of the reasons why the truest styles in men's clothing are always to be found in the Wanamaker Clothing Store is because it has always kept that idea -of manliness in mind; particularly because it has, fought shy of the "style wizards," at whose creations men of manhood and good judgment in matters of fashion are inclined either to throw up their hands or shake with laughter. If any one tells you that there is "wizardry" or anything of the kind connected with the fashioning of men's clothing that is, manly, discriminating men's clothing tell him no.
