Of Olympias, the Mother of
Alexander, It Is Written That
she was a severe woman.
Alexander's deputy once wrote letters of
complaint against her to the great JKing. He
replied: N
"Knowest thou not that one tear of my
Mother will blot out a thousand letters of
thine?" v
One who'loves his Mother and honors her is
seldom a bad man, and she is never a bad woman
with a son who lves her and takes care of her.
Any one may form a fair judgment of what
a young man is by the way he treats his Mother.

duplicates already in stock, in order to match them.
They include black satins, and navy, gray and black Canton crepes,
eome with monkoy or other furs, and some with deep fringe or some
other interesting decoration. They are all exceedingly graceful and
rather simple garments of designs which are not readily "dated," and
they are extremely fashionable.

A Piano of Prestige
and Dignity
The Schomacker '
It is said that finished musicians can pick out a
Schomacker instrument out of a rdomful of pianos,
just by hearing its tone.
For over three-quarters of a century the Scho
macker piano has held, and indeed increased, its pres
tige in musical circles. Eight Presidents have had it in
the White House. It has long been on the famous Honor
Roll of the Wanamaker Piano Store.
Passing years have served only to perfect it still
further in skill of construction and in all the qualities
which endear it to the music-lover.
For the music-lover who is also an apartment

All Violin Lovers Should Own
Victrolas for Two Reasons
if for no others:
1. The violin is believed to record better than any other
solo instrument.
2. Violin records wear exceptionally well.
The violin has a splendid representation in both quality and
variety by artists of foremost rank, such as Elman, Heifetz,
Kreisler, Kubelik, Powell and Zimbalist. The wide rango is not
restricted merely to classical music, but includes many popular
numbers.
For instance, stop in at the Phonograph Store any day you
like and ask to hear the records giving Fritz Kreisler's exquisite
rendition of such popular favorites as "Old Folks at Home," "On
Miami Shore," "Who Can Tell," and "Love Nest."

Sunshiny Furniture
Maybe that is a better name for it than Summer furniture. In any case, it is the
kind of furniture that one associates with bright days, soft breezes, buds, blossoms, green
ery and joy in life.
Gardens are immemorially typical of the greatest happiness. When we say gardens
we include lawns. The next best thing is a porch with some flowers.
A garden, a lawn or a porch is pretty much what one makes of it.
So far as furniture is concerned, we believe this special Summer display lacks noth
ing needed to make yours as restful and inviting as it should be.
This little list gives an idea of the variety and range of prices, but you should see
the display in order to realize what it means to you.
Rustic chairs, $2 to $7.50.
Rustic settees, $4 to $11.50.
Rustic Summer houses, $75 and up
wards. Porch rockers and chairs, $2.50 to
$12.75.
Rustic hickory furniture, chairs and
settees, $6 to $24.
Willow and reed furniture from $7.50
for a willow chair in natural finish to a suit of
six pieces in wicker, upholstered in linen
cretonne and finished in tan and blue, $1868.
Imported French cane furniture, beau
tifully finished and decorated, at $48 for a
chair to $550 for a three-piece suit.
Reed chairs that fold, for boats, $8.75.
