As one rides along he wonders why there is so much water here and there in the road. There's hardly any road up there in the mountains without its springs. An English friend of mine, Dr. Jowett, has spoken to me of miracles in dry places, and of strange experiences, in which there are fountains of blessings. Do not the little springs in the ruts of the life road mean something to us? Signed August Si, 1920 pMjfm Newest Sports Hats Turn a Bit Frivolous Just as if they meant to cross the line dividing them f r6m the hats for moro formal occasions. That is because women wear sports hats so much now. You will notice it in the more tlaboratc trimmings, the effective wool flowers, white silk plush bands ending in ornaments and in the larger shapes that many of these hats show. For materials they have chosen the softest fabrics, long-haired silk plush, stitched beaver cloth, velvet, velvet ribbon, satin and so on. Usually the facing is a different color and a different ma terial. Prices go from $16 to $25. (Second l'lnor, Chestnut) N THE Women's Coat Salons we are showing a few of the luxurious Autumn wraps fine novelties of duvetyne or evora cloth, trimmed with such furs as mole, squirrel and heaver. They are interesting in cut, color and ornamentation, and there are no two alike. Prices are $225 to $375. (First Kloor, Ontrul) More Sample Gowns for Women $75 Each This time there are fifty or so, and we should bo glad to have more women have such an appreciation of samples.

A few have beading, and others have pinch tucks. As a rule the dresses arc cut on chemise lines, though a few have the knee-length tunic and narrow underskirt. Price $76. (First l'loor. Central) Tailored Silk Waists for Autumn They come almost ast regularly as the Autumn leaves and have something of tho same gaycty and crispneBS of color. College girls especially like them.

Opportunity in the August Furniture Sale Means to You IF YOU want some of the best grade f urni- uire in the world at a erenume savins? from the regular price of it you have five days to select it from the largest stock to be found anywhere the stock that makes the Wanamaker August Sale an event without a rival. ' For all reasonable needs this is as good a sale today as it was on the day it opened. The stocks are as large and excellent as we have ever had at a corresponding period. They are made up of furniture of the sort that we are always glad to have for selling at the regular prices and that no good store need be in a hurry to get rid of at reduced prices. We are in no hurry to get rid of it. But these half-yearly sales have always been planned to run the entire month and to fill every business day of the month with opportunities of the most genuine kind. One of the greatnesses of a Wanamaker furniture sale is that the last of it is prac tically as helpful as the first of it. That is because of the unequaled stocks that are back of it. Tomorrow more than ever it is a fact that this is the Sale with the goods. This will be the sale with the goods up to the last business hour of August. The goods are here. The savings are real. The days are running short. It is for you to decide, and to decide at once what you are going to do about the opportunities in which the Sale abounds and of which you have such a limited time to take advantage.

(First Floor, Chtstnut) There's Nothing Prettier Than Satin Dresses for Young Women You will certainly think bo whon you see some of tho lovo ly new fashions In thoso frocks.

(Second Floor, Chestnut) All Our Men's Blue Serge and Tropical Suits Down to New Low Prices Wanaraaker's men's suits of blue serge are as genuine a proposition as can be found in the whole domain of men's clothing. They are standard suits in the fullest sense. When they are reduced 25 to 40 per cent, as they are now, they are probably the best paying investment that any man can make in a suit of clothes. Every blue serge suit in our stocks is now marked $40 and $48.50, according to grade. All our men's flannel suits are marked at the same prices and carry the same rate of savings. Even if a man had no need or desire to wear one of these suits for one day this season it will pay him to buy one for next season. The two-piece tropical suits include Palm Beach, mohair and silk. These are now marked $15, $20 and $25. On all of them there is a saving of nearly half or more. The assortment is fairly good as a whole, but not all sizes can be had at each price.

A story with a pretty mountain girl, a young doctor and a moonshiner for the chief char acters. (Mnln Floor, Thirteenth) Announcing the Phonograph Player-Piano The wonder is that no one thought of making such an instrument before. Player-pianos and talking machines are the most popular of all musical instruments. Almost everybody who has one wants the other, but very often the lack of space forbids especially in apartments. Now comes the phonograph player-piano, a player piano with one of the finest of phonographs built into it, the talking machine occupying what is usually waste space in a piano case. Here you have three instruments in one a piano that can be played by hand, a player-piano and a phonograph. Or you have two instruments which can be played together the phonograph accompanied by the piano, played by hand or with a roll in it. Think what you can do with such an instrument! On the piano you can play an accompaniment to the songs the phonograph sings, or you can synchronize with wonderful effect the same instrumental selections on both instruments. It is noteworthy that this remarkable combination may be had in an inexpensive form The J. C. Campbell Phonograph Player-Piano at $895 The Campbell is a piano that musicians have known and honored for years, and the player mechanism used is one of the very finest. For an instrument so excel lent, and with such possibilities of entertainment, $895 is little enough, especially when you may buy it on convenient terms at the same price. Note. We have also a complete and interesting collection of regular player-pianos just now, all fairly . priced and all purchasable on convenient terms. We should be glad to demonstrate any of them, or the phonograph player-piano.
