But when she leaves her old home she has to leave the piano, too, for mother and the other girls. And so she leaves music behind her ! Unless some one is thoughtful enough to see to it that this beautiful gift is placed in her new home. There are many brides of the last few years whose homes are still without music because of this oversight on the gift-giver's part. Almost every bride, if given her choice, would select a Baby Grand Piano. And almost every bride would prefer one of these nationally famo'us instru ments : - The C flickering The Schomacker The Celebrated Knabe Wherever the language of music is spoken these three names stand for all that is most satisfying in piano making. ' These celebrated instruments, known and loved by generations of musicians, will be found only in the Wanamaker Piano Salons. In the small baby grand size they are superb wedding gifts. With them will be found four other well-known makes of baby grand pianos. The entire seven are sold only by this Store and offer a choice not paralleled elsewhere. (Kc.Millun If nil.
