JTiree Z)as fo J?u Some o ie Furniture That Has Made
This the Greatest August Sale Ever Known
Long Ago, Nineteen Years
Ago, an English Monthly
Magazine
got from the writer "a few words of advice as to what
a young man should do to become successful."
The editor prefaced the interview with these
words;
"Mr. Wanamakcr's words are worth quoting, not so
much for any originality of thought as for the
additional evidence it furnishes of the general
agreement of opinion between one successful man and
another. Mr. Wanamakcr says:
'"You should learn to do some one thing well;
throwing all your energies into it. v
" 'Intense ambition and sound common sense will
work success for anybody 'at anything that is
legitimately serviceable to the world.
" The roads to success arc so simple that any one
with good sense can see straight along to their
termination.
u 'It is for these reasons that I say that any young
man can achieve success if he has common sense and
ambition.
" 'The former will enable him to see his particular
path; the latter will enable him to pursue it to the
end.'"
Were we to be called upon today, we would say
that the experience of a lifetime in "the Big Store," as
some people call it, would confirm all that we said
nearly twenty years ago.

TIME now means.everything to those who
want to take advantage of August Fur
niture Sale opportunities.
The sale has just three more days to run.
The advantages offered in it are as re
markable and as abundant as the time for
sharing in theni is limited.
Were we to stop it today, it would still be
the greatest August Furniture Sale on record
in volume of business and in everything else.
The sale of which that is true is bound to
have a wonderfully interesting wind-up.
Women's Beautiful Dark Blue
Afternoon Gowns at From
$47.50 to $80
For the many women who
"always buy dork blue" we have
a collection of beautiful jrowns in
navy and midnight blue Canton
and other crepes, Georgette and
crepe do chine.
They have the long waistline
that is one of fashion's most def
inite decisions for the new
clothes.
On many the corsage blouses
slightly over the girdle, after the
mode exhibited by Renee in every
one of her new gowns shown in
Paris. This blouscd and girdled
model alternates with the long,
straight silhouette pronounced
equally correct.
(First
Some have deep hems of nar
row ribbon curiously wrought,
and wide cuffs to match. Some
are of eyelet-embroidered Georg
ette over satin. On others finely
pleated overskirts fall from the
low waiBtline. Drawnwork
knots of dull gold beading of
black bits of coral rosettes of
self material add variety of
decoration to diversity of line.
There are many different
models suited to varying types
of figures. But each is beautiful
and distinctive.
And the prices range moder
ately from $47.50 to $80.

A Full-Length
One-Piece Cape of
Imported Woolens
(In the London Shop)
The idea is entirely new
to make a cape from one piece
of material. And the lines are
new it is shorter in back and
front than on the sides, where
the fullness falls in threo folds.
It is exactly the right thing
to wear over the new fuller
frocks.
There are two models, one
with backless vest, the other
showing n fuller collar with
no vest
Both models at $05.
(Tlie (Inllery, Clientnut)
Voila!
The New French
Gore Pump
Only the idea is from France.
It is a pretty little pump of pat
ent leather with the low French
heel and the medium round
French too and vamp. Threo
narrow straps cross the instop,
each ornamented in the center
with a little cut-steel button. And
on each side is an inset or gore
of black elastic, so that it may be
pulled easily on the foot, yet fit
with wonderful snugness around
the top.
It's quite new. And the prieo
is $13.
(First Fluor, Mnrkel)
We Have Just Received Some
Paris Autumn Hats and Have
Copied Them Wonderfully
The originals from famous Paris milliners have been out of
their boxes only long enough for us to make these copies.
How carefully wo copy them you would need to peep into
our workrooms to see. Line by line and it's the line that counts
in a Paris hat i3 faithfully followed. French materials, brought
over the seas with the hats, are used.
Sometimes we change the color as with a ravishing little
hat from Maria Guy, duplicated in nut-brown velvet instead of
its original black beaver.
Or a coquettish black velvet chapeau from Lewis, whose
throat-string of jade we have changed to jet.
But in all, the inimitable Paris idea and cleverness are
expressed.
And the prices are, of course, not foreign, but domestic,
starting at $20.
The varied lovely shades of fuchsia and violine arc among
them
(Second floor, Chestnut)
"The Summer Silver"
You Might Call Gorham Plate
For in homes whoro it is not used all the year around you are vorv

patterns of Gorham plated silver, and there is no question of its
excellent wearing quality.
Five-piece tea services, $194 to Water pitchers, $52 to $78.
5355. Meat platters, $41 to $110.
Four-piece coffee, $159. Dread trays, $25 to $38.

Clearing Out All the
Young Women's Cotton Frocks

voiles, dotted Swisses, organdies, plain and embroidered j imported
beaded voiles.
Sizes are very much broken; of many there is but a dress

See What Fine Opportunities the
Wanamaker Piano Sale Still Holds!
People who were out of town
when this sale started this week
need not be too greatly disappointed.

impaired the selection.
There will be just as good values
in the sale Monday as there were in
the beginning, with savings ranging
from $100 to over $400 on an instru
ment. The new reduced pianos and
player-pianos are our own celebrated
makes, which have no superiors at
their prices, and all the used instruments have been put in first-class playing
condition at the Schom acker factory.
