can never be forgotten.
Humble as they were, they never
were a disgrace to any one. They still
connect us with the sweet, dear days
when mother was everything. She called
us in the morning, and lit the candle that
lighted our way upstairs to bed.
The moments we spend in living over
those old days of youth are life-saving
stations.

Pleated White Flannel
Skirts Again at $12.75

pleating. One is knife

lored skirts and fit very well.

Women 's Cool Suits
Going Out at $20
If "good clothes have esthetic, emotional and
practical value," as a recent writer assures us,
you may be sure that these values are very much
heightened during hot weather!
Tomorrow we shall clear away a hundred
suits at a saving of $5 to $15 over their earlier
prices. They are all the simplest and best of
Summer styles natural pongees of a quality
chosen because it tailored well, a few wool jer
seys in delicate pastel shades, more navy and
black taffetas, and a few very thin tricolettes in
navy, white, black and brown.
Nearly all these suits have detachable belts,
and a great many have tuxedo fronts. They are
smart and simple and comfortable, and if sizes
are broken the small price is compensation.

How Can Any Man
Feel Cool
in a tropical suit in which he is conscious that he
looks awkward, slipshod or "cheap"?
Unless a tropical suit keeps a man's mind cool
and his outlook happy, it is a failure.
The hottest kind of suit a man can wear is a
tropical suit of the kind that keeps his mind "in
hot water" as to how he appears in the eyes of
other men and women.
Wanamaker tropical suits are the kind that
keep a man cool in mind and body. They can be
worn without any doubt or misgiving, but with
perfect confidence as to how they look.
That is because they. are expertly tailored
from tropical fabrics of the finest grades.
The only way the best tropical suits can be
made is by the best tailoring skill and from the
best materials.
That is how Wanamaker tropical suits are
made.
Palm Beach suits, $20 and $22.50.
Mohair suits, $25 and $30.
Tropical worsted suits, $32.
Knitted sports coats, $20.
