To squander money unthinkingly because one has so much that it "makes no difference," as they say, or knowing many things, they do not know enough to take care of what they have, is deplorable. ' To do our best should be our daily study. Signed February -'0, 1911.

(Tlilrtl floor, (mlntl) MONDAY will bring to an end the Wanamaker Feb ruary Furniture Sale of 1921, the most extraor dinary sale up to the present time. By its very nature it is an unprecedented sale, being the first sale in which our whole stock of furniture has ever been offered at deductions of 331-3 per cent, in some cases 50 per cent. This offer, the greatest ever known in the furniture business of America, was made of our own volition, without pressure of any kind, but in the spirit of price lowering by which the Store has all along been actuated. Any other store might have done the same thing, but no other store took the initiative, although there has been no hesitancy in following a lead. Diamond Bar Pins Mounted in Platinum Theie is no question at all but what the- diamond bar pin is the most fash ionable form of jewelry at the present time and mod em styles in dress are such that it can be worn with practically every costume. the lino openwork plati num mountings add a won derful degree of brilliancy, and according to what one wishes to pay. there may bo one, three or five diamonds.
