The name of one of the hotels at Miami, "Halcyon," is well chosen. Halcyon days arc times of happiness and prosperity. An old dictionary says that Halcyon is Ihc Greek for a Kingfisher, compounded of "hal" (the sea) and "Kno" (to brood on). The ancient Sicilians believed that the kingfisher bird laid its eggs and incubated fourteen days before the Winter solstice, on the surface of the sea, during which time the waves were always unruffled. Drydcn writes:- "Amidst our arms as quiet you shall be As halcyon brooding on a Winter's sea."

Do not deny them music because YOU cannot play the piano. Do not limit their con ception of music to the kind you may like best yourself. For we grown ups learn to associate per sonality with music, and oftentimes we would rather hear an old, old song very simply played by daughter than a Chopin waltz played by LEVITZKI . . . But the children let them hear the BEST music (the best in terpretation of the best music) let them hear The Chickling with the Ampico One hundred artists of the first class have played a thousand selections from the great masters, and a thousand of the most-liked selections from the music of today from Liszt to Gitz-Rice. And the CHICKERING-AMPICO will reproduce any of these for you, in your home, whenever you wish, as often as you wish. In Addition You may play the CHICKERING -AMPICO yourself like any ordinary piano although it is so far from being an ordi nary piano. And all that it plays comes in the in comparable CHICKER ING tone. Demonstrations in Egyptian Hall every day. Convenient terms. Used pianos taken in part exchange.

(Mala Floor, Central) T Wished For HIS Manufacturers' Readjustment Sale of fine dining-room and bedroom suits is about the most remarkable thing on record in our furniture business. It is the first event that ever brought so many suits of the finest grades to sell at 40 per cent less than market values. The most important feature of the Sale is the kind of furniture involved. It is really very fine, particularly fine in the sense that it is built for last ing service as well as for beauty. The woods are walnut and mahogany and they are most attractive. The construction is as sound as a bell. The designs represented include Chippendale, Sheraton, Queen Anne, Heppelwhite and each is a worthy reproduction. As a matter of fact there is no furniture made in America that one could buy with more confidence and live with more happily. At the outset we had as many as twenty suits of a kind. Nat urally the number has diminished, but the variety is practically as good as at the beginning. In other words we have practically as many different kinds of suits now, but not as many of each pattern. The time to buy is before the choice has begun to lessen and that means now.
