J. Leslie Hogg was one of the few
men who havo failed to learn that fair
ness Is the best policy when It comes
to dealing with employes. That was
why Sue Brady had made up her mind
that his next tantrum would be tho last
as far as she was concerned.
And now It had come. He was storm
ing at her across the desk swearing at
her for his own neglect In ordering tho
boxes of which nho had reminded him
weeks before. Sho hesitated a moment
to overrule the meekness which had
made i her listen to just such outbursts
for the last two years. Then sho drew
her 1 ps into a thin Btralght lino, closed
her typewriter desk and took her hat
and coat from the rack near tho door.
Her hand was on tho knob before llocir
ceased his shouting and stared at her.
Then, louder than over, "Where're you

tho tenth block, at which he alighted,
his head was quite high and there was
a twinkle ln his eye.
Suo was very miserable during tho
next few days. Sho met the postman
every morning, only to receive tho sama
discouraging answer. Still harder to
bear Jack had not called aftfer the
night she sent him away. That she
had only herself to blame for her curt
and unexplained refusal was consider
ably worse than no consolation, for It
only added his wound to hers.
On tho fifth day the postman smiled
and Sue came timidly to meet him.
"Here's something," he said, and handed
her a large, typewritten envelope. Sho
tore it open and read:

Sho recovered herself quickly. "Wh

"Would vou won't you take charge of

Oh,Ho the Housewi ves
Will Revel Next Week
In Looking Selecting and Saving Money
In the Great September Sale of Housewares
At Wanamaker's!
Ti
IWO things make
this event a mat
ter of i m p o r-
tance, one that touches
every well-kept house,
and concerns every effi
cient housewife, dwell
ing in or near this city:
The qualities of the
goods and the greatness
of the assemblage
more than 75,000 arti
cles at the start, a week
ago, and hundreds more
on their way by this
time.
Money savings also
play no small part in the
considerations of the
thrifty-minded. The
things in the Sale are
priced from 10 to 40 per
cent less than regular.
But while prices form
a pleasing feature of
the opportunity, this is
not the kind of Sale that
needs to be built around
price.
We are glad that we
can help you save
money on your house
hold furnishings,
through the economies
that inevitably result
from such large mer
chandising operations.
But the main purpose
and central pivot of the
Sale is to help you to
furnish your kitchen,
laundry, pantry, cellar,
housemaid's close t
even your sewing-room
and maybe your attic, if
you keep your trunks
and cedar chests up
there with the very
finest equipment the
articles that will last
longest and will do the
best work while lasting.
No other kind are
worth the space they
take up, whether in a
house or in a store, and
we are constantly sur
prised at the space they
are allowed to take up
in advertisements!
What is making this
Sale great from its
starting dag, last Wed
nesday, both in its at
tendance and in its
selling, is the confi
dence women feel in
buying where nothing
flimsy is sold.
Every article in the
Sale, however humble
its use or small its size,
or however low its
price, is fully up to
Wanamaker standards
of quality, and is as
NEW as today's out
put of glittering silver
dollars from the Phila
delphia Mint.
The great quantity
and wide assortment of
articles give assurance
to the out - of - town
woman that her possible
inability to attend the
opening days of the
Sale this week have not
finished her chances.
Store Closed All Day Monday
(Labor Day)
And to the same de
gree it assures the
bride, or any other
woman newly furnish
ing a kitchen, that

If you are a man, of
course, or a woman who
never beat up cakes or
ladled out oatmeal, you
may think that wooden
spoons are all alike.
Yes, Madam, It's You
We're Talking About!
TjOW swiftly will all the wheels
jJ of essential industry spin
round, in this busy month of
September, if after the rest and recreation of Labor
Day, the O. W. W. other workers of the world) are
as eager to plunge again into their labor as are the
splendid army of American housewives!
Talk of honoring the worker! here's one who
deserves the crown the home-maker!
Talk of essential industries! the creation and
maintenance of the HOME tops them all.
And talk of housefurnishings sales! such as
spring up so plentifully at this season! Which of them
can offer 75,000 or more of absolutely new household
utensils, of the best makes, in the standard sizes and
styles, at authentic reductions from regular prices,
rising from 10 to 40 per cent save

save the ice for the new

White enamel pantry
ware Clothes baskets and
market baskets
Within those compre
hensive groups are con
tained thousands of
articles, large and
small, that are needed
at this instant in hun
dreds of households.
Let it again be em
phasized that there is
among them, not merely
no article of inferior
class, but virtually no
article of an ordinary
class !
This is not a Store
that sets out to do or
dinary things in an or
dinary manner, or it
would long ago have
gone the ordinary road
to oblivion or dead-and-alivenc88.
If you have ever
washed one, you know
better. The smooth,
clean finish on Wana
maker woodenw a r e,
which, compared with
common pie-boards,
rolling-pins, step-ladders,
etc., is almost
snowy, is always re
marked upon.
Despite restricted
production, shortage of
lumber and the other
handicaps that might
have frightened timid
. folks out of holding this
Sale, all the wooden
ware in the Sale, like all
the other housewares,
is of the very best qual
ity that the market pro
duces; and this covers
construction as well as
finish.
You can set your foot
safely on a Wanamaker
step-ladder; no insidi
ous knots to eat out the
strength of the wood !
Again : a whole chap
ter could be written,
with annotations from
the ashman, and maybe
a line scratched by the
neighbor's cat, on the
difference there is be
tween ash cans and ash
cans, and garbage ditto.
The superior ity,
therefore, of the galva
nized ironware in this
Wanamaker Sale is a
thing worthy of re
mark. Heavy metal to
start with; seams sol
dered and leakless ; both
interiors and exteriors
showing the smoothness
conducive to sanitation.
A finish, in the form
of deep flanges, pre
vents the bottoms of the
cans from rusting out," ,
and renders the lids in-,
accessible to even the
most persevering of the
four-legged prowlers of
the night. , '
Then as to hinges on,
tin pantryware. Even
these are not alike all
over the world. Some
are broken, some will
break, and others will
not which is a sign'
that they are of Wana
maker quality.
If you ever knew any
one who lost her temper -over
a bread-box with a
broken hinge, bring her
in to this Sale and let',
the salesman show both '
of you the long, strong,
continuous wire which
fastens down the hinges
of these snowy, attrac
tive, but strongly made
boxes and canisters in
the white enamel pan
tryware ! "
Wanamaker
Sales
that give service to the
homemaker commence,
but do not end, with the
Housewares Sale. On
the famous Fourth Floor,
that all good house
keepers know so well,
there arc September
Sales noio going on, of
China!
Thousands of attrac
tive dinner-sets and
other pieces of china
and porcelain of the
best makes, imported
and domestic. Reduc
tions in prices average
one-fourth below regu
lar. Glassware!
of Wanamaker quality,
in abundance and infi
nite variety, includes
practically everything

a pretty needle-etched
tumbler at 15c to the
most elegant and re

cut glass. Savings aver
age one-third.
Lamps!
(including side ayid
hanging fixtures and
lampshades) are priced
for the period of the
Sale at average savi7igs
of one-third.
And the stocks
offered are not a mere
portion or selection
from our Fall and Win
ter purchases, but in
clude every lamp,
shade, fixture or even
candlestick in the Lamp
Store. For beauty and
variety, no half-dozen
other retail stocks can
match them and likely
not for quantity, either.
