TYie Z)as Are Passing, But Opportunities Are Surpassing
In Great August Sale of Furniture
At Geneva, in Sight of Mont
Blanc, Forty Miles Distant
we have often stdod and watched the two
rivers, the Arve and the Rhone, uniting
in one stream and- for a long distance
each preserving its distinct color, one of
gray and the other of blue, until far off
they become so blended that each is lost
in the other or the green ocean.
So is it in human character. Each
individual will keep his or her distinc
tiveness until muddy books and muddy
companions and careless habits destroy
the beautiful gifts of life with which
they sparkled when they started out.

Women's First Autumn Suits
Are of Tricotine
This firm twilled fabric is more practical than sergo, and extremely
good-looking.
Three new models, at $45 and $52.50, are tailored with the perfec
tion of much more costly suits. They could not look better if made
to measure.
The styles are simple and conservative well-cut skirts of good
walking width and length, and straight-line coats, with good silk
linings.
One model is bound with. silk braid. Another is strapped with
elf-material. The third is entirely plain. All the coats have pockets
and the narrow belt-strap that may be buttoned around the waist or
removed entirely.
In sizes 34 to 44.
(I'lr-t Floor, Central)
Girls' New Coats for School and
Dress Are Here
Many mothers are already choosing daughter's school coat, or the
big, fur-collared cont that is to servo her for all winter purposes.
Here are the new ones, 6 to 17 year sizes, of soft, warm clothi,
carefully made, well lined and certain to give that excellent service
which may be expected of a Wanamakcr girl's coat.
From $11.50 to $35 they arc warm woolen cloths in brown or
blue. From $45 to $135 they are beautiful bolivia cloths, in all the
good colors, with collars of racoon, squirrel, Australian opossum and
other furs.
Each one is the very best of its kind to be found.

From Paris Have
Arrived the New
Beaded Tunics
In justice to their loveliness, you must
sec them with your own eyes, for the
brilliancy nnd beauty of their colors is
quite indescribable.
They are beaded and spangled, and
some have a new nailhead effect that is
decidedly attractive. It is interesting to
note that mostly they have V-shaped
neck openings nnd are made in front
nnd back panels, also that they are
somewhat wider and longer than last
year.
Quite moderately priced at $35 to $125.
(Main Floor, Centrnl)
Paris Has Again Spoken
in Favor of Duvetyn
Duvctyn for the dny frock, duvetyn for the evening wrap or cape,
and duvetyn for the nowest and most charming hats.
We have just received some very lovely new duvetyn in the shades
that will be particularly fashionable for Fall and Winter black, henna,
beaver, hussar blue, sehl, taupe, light blue, navy, purple, fuchsia and
American Benuty.
Unusually fine qualities from 36 to 39 inches wide at $6 to $8
a yard.
(Firm Floor. Chestnut)
TT7HEN a sale has become the greatest of
its kind, the supremacy of it, especially
in its abundance of merchandise, is bound to
be apparent on all days.
But always there comes a time when it
stands out very conspicuously in its un
matched resources.
In the Wanamaker August Furniture
Sale that time has now arrived.
The days which put every sale to the great
test are here, and here in the Wanamaker
Great Sale are the goods to meet it.
How it comes that the sale out of which
more goods have been sold than ever in the
same period is still the sale with more goods
than ever to sell during the remaining period,
there is no need to explain.
"On the
Shore"
is one of the finest of Edmond
Louyot'a paintings now in the
Picture Store.
It does what nil good
painting should do. It con
voys very graphically the im
pression and atmosphere of the
scene pictured, so that one has
the feeling of looking out at
an actual stretch of sea nnd
sky and rocky coast.
"In the Mountains" does the
same thing with quite a dif
ferent theme. A Swiss child
with her sheep, in nil the love
liness of her native environ
ment, is exquisitely portrayed.
"The Shepherdess" is the
largest of Louyot's canvases
here, and much praised by the
critics. There are seventeen
altogether, and the prices
range from $65 to $300.
Louyot, who died last year,
was a well-known French
painter, better known in the
European galleries than in
America.

Interesting Facts About the
American Lady Corset
It is all very proper to say that "the bones in the American
Lady corset stay in place, the casing will not wrinkle." But it is
still more proper to explain why this is. The casing of every bono
is cut or. tho bias, and they do lie flat. Nono of the bones are
too long, and the ends of the ones in back are quite soft a good
feature.
The American Lady carries some excellent models for tho
average and fuller figures.
One with low top, graduated steel front, and especially
shaped picco for flesh on shoulders, is $6.
A more heavily boned corset, with a low, well-gored bust, has
reinforcings over tho hips, $9.
A low-bust model for an average figure is very well boned, $6.
Model heavily boned through back is made especially firm
over tho hips, and for womon who are smaller above tho Waist.
Elastic Inserts at back, $9.

The point to remember is that it isia fact.
It is a fact that the stocks in this August
Sale are, relatively speaking, as incomparable
as they were when the sale began, and, that is
enough.
There was nothing to compare with them
then.
There is nothing to compare wifh them
now. I
There will be nothing to compare with
them up to the last day.
The last day of the sale is just one week
from Wednesday.
Which means that you have ampdte oppor
tunity for taking advantage of what it means
to you, but you have no time to waste.
There never is time to waste when time
means money, and that is what it reaDymeans
now in the Greatest of Furniture Saies.
