These Are the Days When Time Is Really Money in the
The Worser Ills Are Those
We Foresee,
fret about and suffer from before they
arrive.
The foolishness of a habit of casting
shadows over the future, creating a pathway
of gloom, is deplorable.
Try to break yourself of it.
There is no use inlying knots in advance
upon the string of days yet to come.
To do a faithful day's work at our post
of duty day by day as they come along is
enough.

A Three-Piece Sports Suit
for Women
(In the London Shop)
Nowadays it means a suit composed of coat, knickers and
skirt.
This suit is made of imported or domestic woolens, and is
particularly well cut. The skirt is rather full, and buttons down
the front. The coat is made full across the back by means of
three box pleats, which give the appearance of a very smooth
fit. This hidden fullness allows ease in swinging a golf club.
The price is $90.

Ever-So-Pretty School Dresses
of Serge and Velveteen
Wo don't know when we have had such pretty school frocks for
girls of 6. to 17 years.
They have "different" touches of hand work that put them quite
out of the ordinary clas3 of dresses. The serges arc the fino French
aricty, made in dozens of pretty ways, many with hand embroidery in
dull-colored Wools.
The same gay trimming brightens the velveteens or facings and
tashes of soft-colored duvetyn.
Serge dresses begin at $15, nnd are mostly dak blue. Velveteens
nd couluroys start at $18.50, and in these there are blue, brown,
green or black.

Hats That
Cleverly Copy
French
Originals
It would bo difficult to tell
these American hats from the
Paris chapeaux that inspired
them, and which they so per
fectly reproduce.
The secret is that French
fingers in our own workrooms
carried out the duplication.
There is a petite nut brown
velvet with a Spanish veiling
effect over the eyes, which no
one will pass without a backs.
ward glance.
There is the new Napoleon
hat of black plush short back
and front, wide-pointing on
the sides nnd guiltless of any
trimming save a severe black
grosgrain rosette.
There are the lovely fuschiu
hucd hats of velvet, and the
coquettish side-streamered hats
and it does not matter if the
thing that "streams" is ribbon
or velvet or race or feather,
only so it trails far below the
shoulder.
These very effective copies
of the latest French millinery
ideas are moderately priced,
from $18 upward.

Some Very Uncommon Dotted

There's u story behind theso fresh, dainty dresses of dotted
swis.s. ,
The swiss a fine quality of foieign make was bought in
largo quantity to be used only for dainty collars and cuffs on
dresses of other material. It was- overbought, however, and at
the season's end the dreBsmakor found on his hands a large
.surplus quantity of his fine collar and cuff material.
He made it up for us into these pretty dresses, which dis
cerning women will be only too glad to have for Summer jnorning
and afternoon wear, and pretty houso wear all Winter long.
They nre all white swiss, with tiny pin-dots of navy, coral,
pink or a littlo larger dot in all-white. There is just a touch of
fino 'white organdie and white crochet buttons for trimming, nnd
a wide, girlish snsh of the swiss.
And the very exceptional price on new nnd dnintydrossos
of this quality is but $7.50.
Few women will stop with one!

August Furniture Sale
JHE only indication that the
August Furniture Sale is coming
near the end is the calendar.
So far as the goods are con
cerned, it might keep on and on,
because in their plentifulness they
are more suggestive of the beginning
of a sale than of the end of it.
We don't believe, any sale other
than a Wanamaker Sale ever started
with such a stock of furniture as we
have here to finish this one.
It took much planning and fore
handed providing to be able to say
this, after three weeks of such selling
as we have come through.
And it is only by actually seeing
the stocks, as they stand, that one can
appreciate how true it is.
Unless you see the goods you can
not appreciate how superb and un
matched is the exhibition on the fifth
floor in its diversity of luxurious and
distinguished furniture for libraries
and living rooms, and for its unique
selections of uncommon and indi
vidualistic suits and pieces for all
rooms.
' Today, as at the beginning of the
sale, this is an assemblage unique in
the country.
Today, as at the beginning,
the assortments of bedroom and
dining-room furniture are incom
parable in diversity.
Today, as at the beginning, it is a
Wanamaker Sale all the way through,
which means a sale backed up to the
utmost with the good furniture that
the great bulk of the people always
favor.
It will be a Wanamaker Sale
every day up to the end now getting
pretty near, so near that time now
means everything.

A New Keyless
Clock From London
The first C A
time this clock
has been
shown in
America, we
believe.
Unlike most
other clocks,
it has neither
npringa to
break, weights,
nor does it
wind with a
key. The
clock's o w n
weight in slid
ing down two
UDricht nillnrs
furnishes the driving force. To
wind it up, one simply pushes the
clock back to the top again.
Other good point3 about this
novel clock are that the tick is
nlmost inaudible, and it is not
necessary for it to stand on a
perfectly horizontal surface. The
price is $16.
