As to tho capability of women to make laws, you will tlnd that your book psychology has failed you.

This is the season of the lighter weight wraps and 1 havo been busily comparing values and styles in those garments for our Philadelphia women, who are beginning to realize that just as exclusive fashions can be obtained in our own city as in New York if one knows where to look for them. Nothing could be more gracefully dis tinctive than a rich llama-color, pcachbloom, coat-cape wrap, exquisitely lined in rose and gray, suitable for street, motoring, summer evening wear or shore. It is semi-yoked and semi-straight of line, with deep set sleeve and shirred muffling collar. The price is $160. The same shop has" a delightful assortment of excellent wraps at prices more consistent with th'o average purse as well as models more expensive. Tho next oppor tunity you havo drop in Bcnguycr's pretty shop at 1214 Walnut and ask to sec them. It is time to seriously consider storing one's winter furs tho question is, "Where?" There are bo many things to consider whether the storage vault is abso lutely dry, if it is really cold storage and maintained at an average temperature, if the furs will be stored under conditions to preserve instead of destroy the natural oil and luster, if they will be well hung and in a sanitary vault in short, will the fuis be stored as the United States Government recommends'.' The House of Wenger, 1229 Walnut, that fur establishment of famed integrity, follows the government advice for the safe care of your furs and also insures their safety. They will be thor oughly cleaned before storing, and in better condition when you receive them at the end of the summer than M'hen you entered them. I could select no better house for tho storing of my own furs so I heartily recommend this sen-ice to you. Speaking of beautiful and unusual garments, Paris herself offers, through that "Paris Shop of America," J. M. Gidding's, now established at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Broad and Walnut streets, an indescribably lovely and inspirational afternoon and street frock, entirely of Pompcian-red richest silk duvctyn almost completely con cealed by draped panels of heavy crepo satin in that best shade of navy. Thi3 $345 model is a copy of Gidding's own importation of a Douillon creation. It is only when milady walks that the glorious1 underlying faded red, known as Pompeian, will be suspected in the skirt. The lines of the duvetyn arc exquisitely emphasized by a classic embroidery in palest gold. Unusual as the dress is, it yet is sufficiently conservative to express- perfect taste. It is collarless and short of sleeve a frock for dressy street wear that will Fcrvc as well for many semi formal occasions. A finishing artistic touch in tho cinc ture girdle of dull silver links. Truly it is a superb example of sartorial art. It can be readily appreciated that Walnut street prices are not necessarily high, when it is possible to get rav ishing taffeta frocks as low as $i'D.G0. To be suro, this is a special price, many of the frocks being of sixty-five-dollar value, but this particular shop of L. Stone Co.'s, at 1306 Walnut street, frequently offors unusual values such as theso in frocks', suits and wraps. The dresses at $39.50 are well worth looking at, and I would suggest your investigating before the attractive group is depleted at the same time you may find some other delightful "buys," as the shop is having a post-Easter sale. Utterly captivated was I by an afternoon frock to be seen at sterling's, that satisfactory shop you know at 1210 Walnut street. Considering the qualitv, beauty and yet tho "well-bred" simplicity of the frock, I was amazed to discover the low price of 575 upon its tag. Truly, I thought it must be over tho hundred mark! Tho skirt 'of the frock is graceful smartness itself, being of dull, soft black satin, accordion pleated and ever so slightlv pouched to a straight foundation. The supremo feature of the frock, however, is a French blue, short-sleeved, collarless rmock of exquisite silk duvetyn, straightlv embroidered in heavy black silk. Such a frock can b'e worn in tho afternoon for dress or even in the oapacitv of a glorified sports garment and yet so versatilo is it and so lovely that it is perfectly correct for many infor mal evening occasions. Oh, itV such a charming frock! You must at least see it, even though you do not buy. Week of April Fourth er tetor.

DIAMOND MERCHANTS JEWELERS SILVERSMITHS WHERE WE STAND ift the COAL SITUATION mi& In view of the disturbing. stories relative to the price of coal that have gained circulation while min ers and operators are in conference over new wage agreements, we feel it incumbent to present a few facts. Justice to the public, the coal-producers and ourselves demands that the true condition be made known. The wage agreement between the anthracite miners and operators expired March 31st. The sub committee appointed to negotiate a new wage con tract is now in session in New York, trying to get a' satisfactory adjustment to both sides as soon as pos sible. It is hoped that this will be reached within a short time. No one can foretell what the findings of the com mittee will be, and, therefore, to prevent taking chances of financial losses resulting from an increase in miners' wages, we are accepting all orders subject to the price prevailing onthe day of delivery. We have been delivering coal to the limit of our vast resources at our regular prices. Many orders for noxt winter's coal have, however, accumulated, and we cannot give immediate delivery at the present time on all orders for next winter's supply. Coal for immediate necessity will be given precedent, and then the orders will be filled as quickly as conditions will permit. We believe that we have been fair in this matter, and we ask equal fairness to us in cases of actual need. We conduct our business on absolutely fair prin ciples. And we feel that we are in a sense a "public service" corporation, for we supply one-third of Phil adelphia with coal a vital necessity. We have always tried to deliver the best coal with the best service, and do everything in our power to keep the price to our customers as low as possible. A prominent Philadelphian just wrote us the other day in sending his order for coal, "I know of no other body of men or company that I would rather have protecting my interests, as I know you protect your customers' coal interests." Wc are constantly striving to further justify this leeling our customers have. You can rely on Newton service. You can rely on Newton prices. Present prices of coal, subject to change with out notice, chuted in : Ess $12.25 a ion Nut $12.50 a ton Stove $12.50 a ton Pea $10.00 a ton 50c a ton extra if necessary to wheel or carry. GEO. B.
