who seemed more careful of a dog or a horse than
they were of the comfort of "a servant.
There arc, men who would not permit the
breaking up of a bird's nest, but who forget poor
relations in dire poverty.
It is hard to understand in these times the
expression of sympathy for dumb animals and
the utter indifference to human beings whose
hearts arc slowly breaking to pieces from neglect
by old friends or estrangements of families.
These days of pinching pqverty- arc all
"specials" to get bargains of happiness from

To Have a Youthful,
Beautiful Skin
A" little thought, carefulness in
tho matter of toilet preparations,
and a little. time ench day will do
v.ondcrs!
Perfect cleanliness is, of course,
the first requisite. Soap and water
alone -will do much but not all. A
soft, lino cream is a necessity.
Queen Mary Cleail'sing Cream, used
at the end of tho day, after a tire
some jouincy or a motor trip, will
remove every trace of dirt and keep
tho skin soft and fair.. G5c for a
generous sized jar.
After the Cleansing Cream,
Madamo should use a good mas
sage cream like Queen Mary Skin
Cream. It is just the cream to uso
before going to bed, to eradicate
those tell-tale wrinkles and to keep
the skin youthful and firm. 05c
nnd $1.20.
If she is going out and wishes
a cream, N to -uxe before upplying
powder, then Youth and Beauty
Cream is tho one. It is grcaseless
and is an excellent finishing cream.
65c and $1.25. "
If tho skin needs whitening, and
after wintry w inils It is apt to need
special care, we'd suggest Cucum
ber Cream, 50c.
And for the final perfect touch,
to give the skin that velvety look,
there is Princess May Bouquet
Powder, in tho tint best suited to
your complexion, 65c.

. A Lady Told Us the Other Day
that the truest friend she had in the world was her washing mat. :.
She said she had worried herself nearly to death all through the Winter over the
subject of .the household washing because it was almost impossible to get anyone to do it.
Finally she came to Wnnamaker's and got an ,
Electric Washing Machine
"And now," said she, "I can do it myself in the morning and have it all out of the
way before luncheon. That washing machine is the best friend I have in the world."
We should sav to our customers that we have been investigating the matter of wash
ing machines for a good many years and we have alwajs had first pick of the' market.
There are a great many unreliable washing machines that would be very glad to get into
this store, but we have carefully kept them out as we do not wish to sell any washing ma
chine that we don't thoroughly believe in. 1l
The electric washingjnachines that we do believe in and recommend are:
The Easy Vacuum Electric Washer at $16."). This is a type that is a great favorite
and it has proved itself good and eflicient. We have sold a large number and customers
express themselves as satisfied.
The ABC Electric Washer, $1.")0. This is a cabinet type washer with an oscilla
tion barrel. It is a splendid machine and with reasonable use gives satisfactory service
for a good many years.
The A B C Super Electric Full Enclo.sed Type, $ln5. .
The ABC Super Electric in Copper, $175.
The ABC Alco Electric, $110. This is the well-known wood type electric washer,
that is preferred by a great many people. It is an excellent machine and does the work
silently, smoothly and thoroughly.
All the above washing machines are equipped with wringers operated by electric
power. ,
Convenient terms where it is desired we will sell washing machines on the sys
tem oi deferred payment, convenient to the customer.
