FT To Be to Any Degree a Public Man, Through Your Business or Otherwise, by reason of professional duties, or whatever brings votir name or your deeds into the newspapers, shaves off much privacy and provokes antagonism 0f the trade and others. Like some of the bees, such a man lives in a glass hive. The curious observe all he does and much that he docs not do. He is criticized sometimes as if he Tverc as public as a "whirligig" on a steeple. If an individual is appointed, without consulting him as an unpaid member of a school board, or a committeeman, many .express wonder why he "is always contriving to get himself before the public." This is written only because it may be possible that many splendid men, able to do noble service to a community, are deterred therefrom because of the possibility of being misjudged.

(.Main Floor, C'hretnut) How Well the People Know the Furniture Sale That Means Most to Them What could we say about the February Furniture Sale that can possibly mean more to you than the one big fact which has made such an impression upon home keepers, the fact that the Sale is backed by every piece of furniture in our stock at a deduction of 33 1-3 per cent and in some cases 50 per cent. In that one fact is summed up all that is individual, unusual, incomparable in the Sale, for the simple reason that there is no furniture stock that can compare with the Wanamaker stock in extent and amplitude, excel lence and desirability no, not one. We know very well that conceit or egotism can blind people to their own limitations, but this is a matter about which we have no illusions. It is to our own interest to "see oursel's as ithers see us," and also to see our goods as others see them. The people have seen the goods and they are leaving no room for doubt as to what they think of them. It seems clear to them that there was never such a stock of furniture offered in Philadelphia at as large a deduction from former prices and that is just so.
