A Favorite Little Book of the
Writer Has Always Been
the "Tabic Talk of Bacon," the reading of whidi goes
far to make a full 'man, as Bacon once said of books
generally. But reading without digestion is of little
uSe. Eating without digestion only leads on tp
dyspepsia. x'
Other people's crutches will help US' to walk, but
we will only become cripples if we sit inactively in
our chairs without exercise of our minds and bodies.
There arc times to read and to think for ourselves,
gnd a time to act and teach others what we know.

Every Woman Is at Her Best
in a Charming Gown '
There never was one who could not show the most gracious
side of her nature the truest side when she knew herself to be
becomingly and delightfully dressed.
It would certainly seem as if nearly every woman ought to
have this privilege, when there arc such lovely things here in the
Gray Salons of Dress at such very reachable prices.
Tomorrow, for instance, We have a collection of beautiful
afternoon, dinner, theatre and evening gowns at $50, which are so
much finer nnd better than the usual gowns at this price that no
woman can feel it nn extravagance to add one to her wardrobe,
no matter how many she already may have.
They arc fine chiffons, Georgettes, Canton cicpes, shadow
laces and nets; fashioned very charmingly, and in lovely color
ings orchid, wren tan, jade, sea grJen, agate, pink, ecru, the
vcry daik blues, cherry red and a number in the always-effective
black.
We seldom have anything like such gowns for $50, and we
have only eighty-five of these, so that those who wish them will
do well not to delay.

The Fascination of a Paris Bandbox
Is Beyond All Reasoning
Explain it any way you like, there
isn't a normal woman who doesn't feel it.
A little bit of that most fascinating
and tempting City is covered up in that
box. A little but mighty bit, especially
designed to enhance the beauty and de
light the heart of womankind not to
speak of the heart of mankind !
Every woman knows the breathless
tip-toe of expectation before the unopened
lid; the delight of uncovering, pulling out
the crinkling tissue papers, revealing
complete the Beautiful Thing!
There is nothing else in millinery like
a Paris hat. Every one of these boxes we
have opened only proves it anew.
Reboux of the rue de la Paix may be
your favorite. Or the charming youth
fulness of Jeanne Lanvin's inspirations.
Lucie Hamar may have captured your
allegiance. Or Lewis. Or Alex. Or
Demay.
Every bright particular star of the
Parisian constellation shines in this
galaxy of lovely- and original imported
hats displayed in the Gray Salons this
week.
The best have sent their best for our
customers' choosing.

And not a bandbox will go out from
the whole collection that will not carry

"Every Day See a

said Ruskin. The easiest way is
to have it hanging on your own

here that would certainly be an
inspiration as a daily companion,
whether to brighten with it

little while into a different,
environment.
