The Furniture Sale Is Now a Matter of Days-
Days of Opportunity
Proverbs Are the Children of
Daily Experience
With many of us, the riddle of life is
still to be solved.
Those who traveled before us, along the
same roads, have left footprints as they
struggled, fell down, hoped, despaired or
persevered, which ought to be of value to us
as we journey on in our confidence of being
able to reach the goal we have in view.
The biographies, examples and cher
ished rules that influenced the lives of our
fathers are great helps for each other.

Women's Distinguished
Gowns of Cloth
I lie.-o are tnc reaiiy ueauuiui nuvuiueo
which woll-dicsscd women arc buying to have
rcadv to wear with little furs as soon as they
ln aside their outer wraps. There are seldom
two of them alike, except in being made of
the snmo clolhi tricotine and Poirct twill;
nnil the colois aie confined to the inevitable
n,ivy, black and the various sand, pale giay
and' putty shades. ,
They aie usually cut on straight lines as
rather heavv cloths should be but they are
fa i from being the straight chemise dress of
on- earlier acquaintance. For instance, heie
is a navy frock with a very odd collar of
rather blight foulard, the silk being repeated
mi the vest, sleeves and little pocket linings.
In another navy the neck is bound and
the flvmg panels are lined with king's blue.
'gray gown has a side fastening, "Curious
nal buttons and the new bell sleeves.
navy model again has odd openwork
medallions of cord which permit a foundation
or Kgyptian red to show through.
One of the most novel trimmings consists
(.f hands of taffeta embroidered onto the ma-
tn ml, while a gleam of interest is given b
a duck-blue cording.
li ices arc $05 to $175.

If you liked them the first tune you bought them, you can count
on getting them again.
Second, because these makes have a line finish.
Third, because thev have naturally always the same count of.

OME PEOPLE don't feel satisfied
unless they are here for the first of
the sale; others wait for the last of
it; still others like to be here for the
first as well as for the last of it.
Perhaps it- is because there are so
many of these last two kinds of people
that the last seven or eight days of the
sale are among the busiest. The final
stage of this Sale begins Monday. The
furniture is here to make every day of
it a day of opportunity.
You cannot realize how much the
sale still holds for everybody who
you come in and see the stocks as they
now stand.
There are approximately ten
thousand pieces on the floors. There
are warehouse reserves back of them.
It may be that between now and the
last day of February we will have need
for every piece of this furniture. The
point is that if you are going to need
some of it any time in the not-far-off
future, the wisdom of making your
selections at the earliest possible
moment is clear.
ad you should keep well before
you. mind the opportunity that is stin
yours
needs some good new furniture unless
to choose anything in our entire stock of furniture at a deduction of
33lz per cent, except certain things at a deduction of 50 per cent.

Let Us Show You How
to Fit a Grand Piano
in Your Home
If you would like to have a grand piano in place of
your upright, but are not sure that you have room
for it, why not ask us to send you a paper pattern
showing exactly how much space a small grand piano
requires.
You will place yourself under no obligation to us
by making this request, and you may be surprised to
learn that a small grand piano takes up no more room
than an upright piano. And there is no question about
its being a much more distinguished instrument.
The musual excellence ot the small giand piano is limited
only by the cientilic ability ot the scale dinughtman and the
nianufactuiei.
The dehghttul tonal nuain.es and the leapuiioivenei f the
gtnnd action petniit ieult not obtainable on othei aitmns,
but these icsult can be achieved only when the piano is light.
