The Great Wanamaker August Sale of Furniture Wilt
Start Tomorrow and Here Are Some Vivid
Facts That Every-
He Conquers Who Knows
How to Endure
The warrior who brought back home with
him from the war carnage the incurable wounds
of gassing, of submarine blasts affecting 'eyes
and cars, or hurts the surgeon's knife could not
cure, will have to endure the ills of war until
life ceases.
All these are true conquerors and worthy of
highest honors. But to all human beings there
are battlefields upon which our daily callings
compel us to be, requiring patiertde,
perseverance, pluck and persistence in suffering,
to win way against unexpected-obstacles.
Let no one be a slacker.

Dresses for Women
Any feminine gathering this Summer looks
like an animated bouquet of sweet peas, so
numerous and so flower-like are -the gay-colored
organdie frocks.
An attractive group of these sheer organdie
dresses all ready to blossom out on hotel verandas
or home porches, is priced $16.50, $22.50, $25,
$35, $38.50 and $40.
Rose-color, orchid, corn yellow, jade green,
blue, gray or white are the favorites.

those at $40 deserve special attention, being
exquisitely fine in texture, delightful .in color and
very beautifully hand embroidered.

Here Are Charming Frocks for
Young Women at $5
A $5 bill seems too little to pay for really,
nice frocks of voile or organdie.
And ordinarily it would not buy anything
nearly so nice as these.
But there is a handful left from this higher
priced group, a handful left from that, and so on,
until the aggregate of handfuls makes quite an
assortment, each one of them remarkable indeed
for its new low price of $5.
A pretty rose-flowered organdie is one; a
dainty blue-and-white voile with blue satin bands
is another; and the others are variously colored
organdies and voiles.
The important point is that many are quite
dainty and fine enough for afternoon wear, not
being the ordinary $5 dress at all.
Any one who wears sizes 14 to 20 will find
her size among them.
