It Is Better to Wear Patched
Shoes and r ay as Y ou IjO
than to be in debt, wearing patent leathers and
silken gowns and losing your self-respect by
inability to 'keep contracts too easily entered
into.
It is said that the downfall of many men
and women is to be traced to getting hopelessly
into debt and becoming disgraced by broken
promises, the memory of which destroyed their
chances and prospects.
Be advised to think twice before you plunge
head over heels into debt.

Men Wanting New Easter
Clothes Quickly
and wanting it right can depend upon this Store to serve them well.
We have new Spring suits that are as right as it is possible to have them,
suits "which in fabrics, tailoring and style cannot be surpassed anywhere at their
prices.
It is easy to write such things ; but it is not wise unless there is something
substantial and convincing behind them. We don't want anything more substan
tial and convincing than the suits that we are now showing at .$32 to $65. Spring
overcoats also at $35 to $6.5.
And every man can count upon us to give him our best service.

Very effective it is, too; for example, a
long, narrow band of natural gray caracul on
one of tho new Cavalier capes.
This cape, by the way, is made with a bias
tuck which carries the lino up to the shoulder,
where there is a fastening. The lining is a
bright nasturtium pink. It is as unique as it
is beautiful and the price is $225.
Another black wrap, on slightly more con
ventional linos, has monkey fur on the collar
and in tho side panels. This is $125. It has
very much the air of an imported garment,
but it is designed and made by an American
maker.
Many other new black satin wraps and
coats are here without fur at prices ranging
from $57.50 to $160.

MUSIC
"The Meaning of
Music Goes Deep"
So wrote Carlyle.
Everybody begins to
realize it as lawn and garden-plot
and shrub and
tree begin to show signs
of the wonderful life,
under and within, which
will not be denied.
Upward, outward, they
force their way the
tender crocus, the snow
drop, the lilac buds. And
as we watch them, a
similar life stirs deeply in
us something which
nothing in all the world
but MUSIC can help us
express.
Don't you realize this?
Haven't you realized it on
a hundred occasions? And
yet how large does
Music figure in your life,
how deep within you has
the meaning of it gone?
Music Is Rest
Work is the lot of most
of us (it is the best thing
for all of us). To do it
well, to get the best out of
it, we need rest not the
negative rest of merely
doing nothing, but the
positive rest of a mind
rhythmically dancing to
Music and storing up new
energy for the morrow.

Music Is Inspiration
"It is a kind of inarticu

apecch" said Carlyle,
"which leads its to the
rdge of the infinite and
lets us yaze for a moment
into that."
It rcvealB new vistas, new
was to the gonl we are striv
ing to reach, new beauties in
a life our commonplnce activi
ties do not touchdreams and
the longings in our own hearts
which Music gives us the
strength to make real.
Music Is Living
Without it, life is just exist
ing. For life is expression.
And music is the ultimato
means of expression.
Realizing these truths, the
Wanamaker Piano Store has
assembled more than seventy
makes, sizes and grades or
pianos, plnvcr-pianos and re
