The Interesting Struggle for
y .LJLie jliuci luc auuatc
js not only a sad fact all over the earth, but
jjelow tnc lace oi me waters, wmen cover neany
three-quarters of the surface of the globe.
The constant evidence of the little fish like the
herring, butterfish and blackfish leaping away from
the big savage fish like the bluefish is a determined'
safeguard of Nature against the overproduction of
species. m
The great wide-open mouths of the fish and
their wonderful strength and astonishing fierceness
is a never-ending proof that only the fittest can
survive.
From above the water the circling flocks of sea
gulls, pelicans and frigate birds, .known as
man-of-war birds, with their sharp eyes and long
bills, arc continually swinging over the waves,
darting down and diving below the surface,
-gathering the only food upon which they live.
After all, how dependent human beings are
and always have been upon one another!

An Aubergine Toque' With
Trailing Scarf of Chenille
says two or three things about
the new millinery modes.
It says, for example, that
aubergine or eggplant purple
1b one o the most becoming
of smart Autumn colors.
And that the Spanish in
fluence shown in the shape of
the hat and in its long trailing
scarf, is very pronounced.
The little hat is of taffeta,
and the scarf that winds
heavily around it and falls off
at ono side is of chenille
fringe.
All the eggplant purples
and browns are to be good this
Autumn. You will see many
of these tones in the new mil
linery coming daily from our
workrooms.

npO ANYBODY who looks into the matter,
-- even in a casual way, the supremacy of
the Wanamaker furniture stocks in respect
to varieties, selections, abundances and
"likabilities" is bound to be as clear as that
two and two make four.
Now, a manifestly unrivaled field of se
lection is a thing of great advantage to the
customer.
For surely it isa great advantage, in case
the thing you are looking at fails to please
you, to have four-, or five or, in fact, fifty
others, amongst which you are practically
certain of finding what you desire.
You know there are some stocks of mer
chandise in which there isn't room to change
your mind.
Stocks of that kind are short in alterna
tives. The Wanamaker stock is full of them.
In the Wanamaker stock you can change
your mind again and again, because there is
such an unparalleled variety of the types and
grades that any one can reasonably desire.
For the customer, this advantage goes
still deeper.
What is it that has made possible such
magnitude, such an absolutely unequaled as
sortment? that is the significant thing, the
basic thing.
The 'answer might be given in one word,
or in many, but the many would all be elabora
tions, or interpretations of the one.
QUALITY is the word.
All that is matchless in this sale, all that
is unrivaled in the magnitude and diversity
of its stocks is based on the principle of
quality.
The sale has grown gigantic upon the
excellence of the goods at the prices marked
on them.
Today it is growing more than ever and
for the same good reason.
It is in the very nature of things that a
sale of that kind is bound to mean something
to your home.
