Is It Not a True Saying
That None
is so deaf as those who will not hear?
If you will not use your cars, use your eyes:
Look over your own country as well as other
countries, and make a list of the great men,
including rulers, who have shown great capacity,
not only for great movements, but for great
failures.
Vanity, power and the daredevil spirit living
in the soul of man often blind him and speed him
on to where he is wrecked upon the rocks of pride,
prejudice and hate.
Go slow and think twice before you start.

A black taffeta has

the skirt, a broad scallop

little bodice-like jacket.
Another navy Canton crepe has bead medallions
and crepe girdle in old blue.
A striking frock of green and blue striped silk has
a deep hip girdle.
, A most wearable navy taffeta is combined with blue
and white printed Georgette.
Prices on these new-comers are $100 to $200.

News dispatches from Grand Rapids and
other large centers of manufacture state that the
public will have to be content for the present
year, at least, with the recent small reduction in
the furniture market.
These dispatches, which are as reliable as
any human forecasts can be, must be accepted as
true in so far as the general furniture market is
concerned.
But the Wanamaker Great

is not governed by news dispatches and is not,
controlled by Grand Rapids nor any other
manufacturing center.
The hundreds and hundreds of thousands of
dollars' worth of fine furniture that we have here
on the Fifth and Sixth Floors is our furniture.
It belongs to us, just as do the great reserve stocks
in our furniture warehouses.
Therefore, owning all this furniture and
having a perfect right to do exactly as we please
with it, we are going to put every bit of it in a
great Furniture Sale, starting next Friday, at
prices so low that they are bound to cause
amazement throughout the whole country.
Wc have made a definite and unqualified
promise that this Sale shall bring to the people
of Philadelphia value beyond all expectations.
We are only four days now from the fulfill
