Old Peter JTayseed Has Just Said
"A Handful of
common sense is better than a bushel of schooling,
but after all, both are good when properly mixed
together."
Playing truant with our school-days or reciting
lessons poorly and purely in a mechanical way
because of a good memory will bring us no
permanent good unless we fully understand and
absorb what the teachers are teaching us.
To "go to work" calls most of our young people
all too early, especially when more earnings are
needed for increasing families, so We must not fool
away our school times for nothing.'

Women's Fine Cloth Costumes
at Lesser Prices
About seventy-five distinguished tricotine gowns have their prices reduced
to $50 to $175 which means a saving of $25 to $50 on each gown. And this is
the moment when they should be worn with the little Spring furs finishing their
necks. The colors are navy, sand and beige ; sometimes relieved with rich silk or
wool embroidery, sometimes with gold thread tracery, or a gleaming satin lining,
or a curious and interesting girdle. As a rule they are of the chemise type, but
with novel touches. One dark blue example has no girdle, but smocking at the
sides suggests a waist line.
Another has its upper part of satin, and of cloth, the latter- embroidered
with French knots in scallops and three colors. Another cloth affair has a high
low neck and is made over a satin slip. A lovely gown navy is embroidered
with old blue and dull red knots and satin stitch.
Hardly two of the costumes are alike.

The Place of the
Small Grand Piano
The small grand piano was designed to answer the require
ments of those who desire all the splendid resonant sounding
qualities of a grand piano.-yet whose living space is limited.
It is an ideal instrument for homes without large music
rooms, for apartment dwellers, for all who, hnd the small grand
never been designed, would have to use an upright piano.
The small grand occupies practically no more space than an
upright.
Yet it saciifices nothing of the fullness and richness of a
grand piano to achieve these diminutive dimensions.
Six of the Finest
Small Grand Pianos
made in this country are sold in the Wanamaker Piano Salons.
They are:
The Chickering
The Schomacker
The Emerson
The Lindeman
The Brambach and
The celebrated Knabe
Some of these are less than five feet in length. None of
them is much over five feet. In every instance they possess all
the individuality and distinction of the large grand pianos of
their name.
We show them in mahogany, but can furnish them in any
wood or period desired.
Prices on these diminutive grand pianos begin at $700, and
our usual convenient payment terms apply to them.
