Have You Ever Noticed That
the Straightest Stick
is crooked in water?
In forming judgments of others or
in passing opinions upon current topics,
let us go slow and be careful until we
know all the existing circumstances.
Life is a great riddle and must be
studied with the clouds of circumstances
hoping, struggling, toiling, failing,
falling, temptations and the need and
value of a common sympathy, before
condemnations.

Nearly All Women and a

There is something extremely feminine and becoming about
the figured foulard silk gown. It is what men call a "womanly"

Nor need any woman bo without when we have these
charming foulard dresses, fn a variety of really lovely models,
priced from $28.60 to $50 higher, too, if tho most elaborate of

and clever models for street or afternoon wear.

of the silk, are $38.50, $42.50, $45 and $G0.
Throughout tho collection tho navy-and-white, black-and-white
and brown-and-whito color scheme prevails. And the

Wanamaker Tropical Suits
for Men Are Tailored
They are actually and
really tailored, not just put
together. Tailoring, real,
actual tailoring, makes such
a -difference in a tropical suit.
It makes practically all
the difference between a suit
that fits and sets properly on
a man and holds its lines and
the suit that does none of
these things.
You can tell a Wanamaker
tropical suit by the finer
kind of fabric of which it is
made, whether it be Palm
Beach, selected mohair or
tropical worsted, but you can
tell it especially by the tai

Forehanded People Are Already Looking
at the Furniture and Making
Their Plans!
npHE August Furniture Sale at
Wanamaker's means that our
entire stock of furniture the largest
retail stock in the world will be
reduced in price throughout the
month of August.
For several years, however, it has
been our custom, in order to relieve
the congestion of the first day and to
make selection convenient, to give to
the public the privilege of three cour
tesy days the last three business
days in July.
These three days find all the fur
niture marked with the August reduc
tion tags, and people who so desire
can make selections and give orders
to be filled on the first of August:
This plan has proved a great con
venience for leisurely examination of
the goods.
In This Great August Sale the
Reduced Prices Will Be Shown
on Next Wednesday, July 27
In the meantime, the great displays are
being made ready. Selections are being
made from the warehouses and placed on
the floors. The aisles are being widened to
give abundance of room and thousands and
thousands of pieces are being classified and
reclassified by periods and varieties; expert
salesmen are giving their tme to an inten
sive study of the character of the utility of
the goods the whole organization is
getting itself up to tip-top mark to get ready
for the store's greatest annual festival.
In the meantime, forehanded people,
whom of course, we are indeed very glad
to see, are coming in by increasing numbers,
to have an advance look at the goods.
It is perfectly proper that they should
do so; everything we have is here to be seen,
and while we make no reduced price sales
now nor give anyone prKwT information
as to what the prices are going to be, we
have no doubt that there has been many a

A

beautiful piece and many a fine suit already
mentally marked down for possession by
people who intend to be here early Wednes
day morning.
For There Is a Wonderful
Advance Interest
This is evident in the inquiries we get
from people here at home and it is evident
from the letters making appointments that
we receive from far away and even from
distant states.
We do not believe we underestimate it
when we say that there is a greater popular
desire for good furniture at low prices right
now than at any other time we have ever
known.
And we are clearly prepared to answer
the call.
If we have not said so before, it is time
to say it now, that our stocks in this Sale
are the largest we have ever had, which
means a great deal which means the larg
est number of pieces of furniture ever
offered in a sale at retail.
And it is the best furniture. It is the
best that we have ever had and it is the best
that was ever offered for sale.
We have never been at greater pains
in anything in our lives to get good mer
chandise than we have been for this August
Sale of Furniture. It is a matter of pride
with us that every piece of it should be a
perfect description, every bit of ifl sound
and solid and enduring; of the highest
execution and workmanship and of the first
mastery in design.
