There Were Portions of the
Florida Jbver,glades
drained a long time ago that, when planted,
were not profitable because of thinness of soil
and lack of certainty of water supply.'
But all this has now been overcome and
Florida offers almost everywhere marvelous
opportunities to genuine hard workers.
Yet it remains true even in our home
gardens that there are spots where the flowers
grow a little' and then dry up because of the
poor soil.
Even a Store must be well thought out,
carefully planted, watched over, watered
constantly with freshness or it would dry up.
All our people need to be ever on the
lookout to avoid the drought.

F
for This Joyous Spring and Easter
FASHION is so ephenieral a thins: that it is easv to
mistake it. Or rather it is easy to mistake for fashion
a fancy that passes overnight.
The Wanamaker exposition of the new modes in
women's dress is an authoritative" showing of the gowns,
hats and other garments which the great couturiers and
modistes of Paris have designed and given their approval.
Here They Are at Last Women 's
Loveliest New Easter Clothes
The most distinguished new
fashions for Spring fashions
which are a joy to see, in design
and color, in quality and workman
ship, in their freshness and new
ness, in everything about them !
The majority of the finest
gowns are copies and adaptations
from the great makers of Paris
Callot, Lanvin, Cheruit, Roland
and others. And every one of them
is a work of art art of the sim
plest, the most refined, the most
striking sort.
The collection includes gowns
for afternoon and evening, cloth
frocks for the street, , and the
smartest of tailored suits, includ
ing some of the dress-and-coat
variety.
Among the afternoon and semi
evening and evening gowns you
ad these:
The new carrot color and the new
arrangement of beading on the skirt
the beads in this instance being of
cut steel.
The cut-steel nail heads on a
bloused gown of Harding gray.
The novel gray lace sleeves in a
dove gray chiffon gown' also steel
beaded.
Cascades of silver lace on the
skirt of a rose and silver cloth eve
ning gown, its beading a marvel of
rose and glittering crystal beads.
Large coral beads used on a coral
chiffon gown not an atom of "any
other color.
A novel treatment of silvery
beads on mauve net over mauve
chiffon a creation that seems a bit
of moonlight.
The long orchid tulle sash on a
white charmeuse with crystal beads
and bugles.
The mousquelaire sleeves in a
gown of black Chantilly and cream
filet over a black satin slip.
Heavy bands of milk beads on a
pure, yellow eyelet frock with a blue
will
see such Tashion features
velvet girdle the whole extremely
youthful and Greek.
Much fringe on a jade green crepe
de chine which also is simple enough
to be worn by a Greek maiden.
Rays of crimson beads blended
with the pure red figures in a black
foulard ,frock.
Very heavy gray embroidery on
very coarse blue net forming a deep
border on a blue crepe de chine frock.
The handkerchief drapery on a
frock of all-black Georgette.
Rows and rows of pink beads on
a gray crepe de chine, each row out
lined by fine steel beads.
Drawn work heavily embroidered,
the new Spring phase of eyelet work,
the self-bindings and self-ties, the
new and simpler beading designs, the
finely pleated panels in the skirts, the
use of great quantities of bead but
tons, the lovely use of gray crepe ap
plied on gray Georgette, or of dark
blue crepe on dark blue taffeta, and
the straight Chinese or bell sleeves,
the full skirts these are only a few
of the fascinating new points to see.
JVhen it comes to the cloth gowns and the suits
there are just as many
For instance, there are fluted
white collars and cuffs on a little gray
jersey slip-on dress which is really
delightful. There is a navy tricotine
redingote with lacquered braid and
taffeta sash ; another navy redingote
has embroidered applications of
Egyptian red upon it ; a black taffeta
has a unique ornamentation of gold
buttons and gold tracery; a black
taffeta redingote has its full skirt
and fitted body opening over cream
organdie, stiff with embroidery in
blue, red and green.
A lovely dress-and-coat suit has a
blouse of gold embroidered tangerine
crepe worn with a navy box coat and
skirt. Other box coats are lined with
polka-dotted silk to match the bodices
of the dresses to be worn under them.
Some of the most remarkable suits of
all are the quiet Poiref twills with
embroidery of French knots.
A perfectly marvelous outfit is a
medieval chemise gown of navy cloth
almost stiff with its gray wool em
broidery. We might go on until we described
every piece in the collection and
eveiy piece would be worth it.
But you may see them all with
your own eyes on Monday in the
Fashion Salons.

Dohnanyi
Plays at the
Academy of
Music
Next Monday Evening
IF YOU go to hear him
you will enjoy the eve
ning, for DOHNANYI is
a master pianist. And the
music of the pianoforte,
when brought out by the
magic of tho master,
awakes within us that
stabinzing fofce which, in
the hurry of modern liv
ing, is all too seldom
aroused.
But you wijl enjoy
more than the playing of
DOHNANYI. You will
enjoy the wonderful tone
of the piano he is going to
play the piano he always
plays .

MAI
And you will be doubly
proud when you know that
it is an ALL-AMERICAN
)iano, oldest and best
oved of all the good
pianos built in America.
JENNY LIND loved
the CHICKERING. It
was always used to accom
pany her when she sang.
... The great LISZT
said of it: "It is superla
tively perfect." . . . De
FACHMANN described
its tone as "like a human
voice." . . . BUSONI
called it "the creation of
masters in their art." . . .
130 First Medals and
Awards "have come to it.
. . . You will find a bust
of Its creator, JONAS
CHICKERING, in tho
Hall of Fame in Washing
ton the only builder of
pianos there. . . .
For 98 years there has
been a continuous stream
of CHICKERING pianos
from the workrooms in
New England into the
homes of discriminating
musicians professional
and amateur.
The home of the
CHICKERING in Phila
delphia is here, in the
Wanamaker Piano Store.
We shall be happy to have
you come to see and hear
the CHICKE.RING
A MP I CO Reproducing
Piano, in particular, be
cause that wonderful in
strument marks the sum
mit of present attainment
in the building of pianos
for the production of mu
sic in the home.
And that's where the
best music ought to be.
(Kirrptlmi lln.ll, Prrond Floor)
It is a wonderful showing. Eyen as a spectacle it is
wonderful. The charm and originality of the designs; the
loveliness of the colorings; the beauty of the settings in
which the models are shown.
The whole atmosphere is redolent of Spring. You
will be moved to lift your head as though you caught the
scent of early flowers. Indeed, such, fine fashions have
almost a fragrance!
Presenting In All Their Charm the
New Paris Hats for Spring
With the fluttering streamers
of the Empire and the piquant poke
shapes of the Directoire, Paris her
alds the new Spring millinery
fashions. Delightful fashions they
are, enchantingly new, quite as fas
cinating as one expects Paris hats
to be, and representative of the last i
and most authentic French milli
nery modes.
The hats are just off the
steamer that vouches for their
newness! And they are from the
foremost Paris modistes

More "Fabrics" Than Ever Does Paris Use
and there are whole hats of glistening
taffetas, any number of straw and
taffeta hats, hats of embroidered or
gandie and these are charming
hats of a heavy white novelty pique,
numbers of enchanting lace hats, hats
of gros-grain ribbons and hats of
shot silk.
When straw is used, the favorite
is Milan fine, beautiful quality
Milan. You will see it in Borne stun
ning dark blue and brown hats.
As to New Shapes and
Fashionable Colors
Paris, as usual, goes from one ex
treme to the other!
Hats are small and huge. There
are little Directoire pokes, small hats
that fit close and hats with wide,
sweeping brims.
Though there are numbers of
vivid-hued hats like geranium red,
the new oat yellow, plenty of blues
and browns there are also numbers
of stunning black and all-white
chapeaux.
But Paris Does the
Unexpected
and is as deliciously whimsical and
quite as paradoxical as ever.
She has taken the greatest fancy
for ribbons little ribbons, wide rib
bons large bows, and rosettes of
bows.
Whole hats veiled with lace are
another charming idea.
Hats of silvered ostrich combined
with natural ostrich to cover a
whole hat think of it!
And picture leather and 03trich
feathers used together yet it is
amazingly effective.
Flowers and fruit are glowing
with color and are used alone and to
gether always pleasingly, too.
They Are Delightfully
Wearable Hats
suitable for Madame's every need
for sports wear, for tailored needs,
for more formal occasion.
It will give us pleasure to show
them to you.
