Almost Every Misunderstanding
Can Be Smoothed Out
by gentleness and patience, if taken up at the proper
time and with good temper.
The longer things lie untouched that have gone
wrong the worse they grow to both parties.
Clean up every day the affairs of the day if you
possibly can. By so doing you have less to worry
you and can think ahead instead of fretting over
what is off the track.

ever sold within our recollection. These are not to be confused with sheep
skin bags. Some dealers object to calfskin because it wears too long.

tan, gray and brown colorings, these bags are just what thousands of women
want for Easter wear. And there are many, many shapes smart little
dress and calling models and large business and shopping bags.
It is an extraordinary collection for such low prices and an opportu
nity to be found only at Wanamaker's, because this Store has assumed the
entire distribution of these goods in Philadelphia. Large as the stock is, it
will go out with a rush as soon as women see the bags.

cage" eleven years old, eight feet Fgh,
With more than fifteen hundred budsimd
blossoms on it and inhabited by gayly chirping
linnets, siskins and chaffinches.
This "birdcage" alone would be more
than worth a visit but there are thousands
and thousands of other interesting things,
beginning with the snowy Easter lilies which
are best beloved of all.
They are fine, healthy, vigorous plants,
rich with buds and blossoms, grown expressly
for us by a famous grower and in great
numbers.

home-grown plants of the best Japanese
varieties; and this year there is a new one in
addition to the familiar rose colors the
Yodogama violet colored. Then there are
liydrangeas in abundance especially the
lovely pure blues; the scarce pink and white
spireas; sweet yellow genistas; daisies and
ageratums; golden callas, velvet cinerarias,
little orange plants and gardenias, maiden
hair and other ferns, foliage plants and roses.
Indeed the roses are as important as the
lilies both ramblers and hybrid teas. There
are five varieties of the ramblers, one of them,
the "Roserie," being the new deep pink sport
1 ! 1 I i 1 I
of the "Thousand Beauties" ; and five varieties
of tea roses. Also there is a new scarlet rose
which holds its color the Paul Scarlet
Climber. And there are the most delightful
airplanes, globes, flower-baskets, fans and
parasols, not to mention a pergola, all pf
growing rose bushes.
Oh yes, and there are little bulb plants
such as daffodils, hyacinths and tulips and
there are hosts of foliage plants.
