Many a Man Lost His
Principles and Himself
in the speculative side of the great war. Men
there were, too, who thought they were
stormproof against every temptation of paying
for influence to be favored with contracts; men
who locked up wool, cotton, leather, food and
' other commodities.
When a man comes to a point to ask, "How
much will it take to get me that position or that
contract?" he has passed into a state of moral
blindness and will sleep in a bed of hornets.
If it be possible to straighten out things, do
it quickly.

Jane to, 1931.

imagine a woman wearing one and not feeling her best. They arc hand made, of course;
the materials mostly handkerchief linen and sheer voile, finished and made exquisite with
hand drawn-work and embroidery and the narrowest, delightfulest of ribbons.
The colors of the frocks are like those of a flower garden pale blue, sunset yellow,
lemon, rose, white, lavender, gray. And necks arc often square and sleeves almost always
short.

Why Wanamaker Men's Tropical Suits
Are the Best at Their Prices
There are certain tropical
fabrics known to be the best
of their kind, whether mo
hair, Palm Beach or tropical
worsted. These are the only
fabrics used for making
Wanamaker tropical suits.
Everybody knows that
goods of this kind, simply
have to be well tailored.
The wonder, then, is why so
many men wear "tropical"
suits that their best friends
would rather not see on
them.
