In the Rapid Rush of the
Christmas Days
often a day lest is irreparable, because the thing
we thought of and really wanted te de in some
mysterious way escapes us until it is tee late te
make possible the getting of a piece of bronze
from raris or Florence or a certain book from
Londen or Edinburgh or a piece of lace from
Brussels or Saint Gall.
It is true, however, that the Philadelphia
store has the great stocks of the New Yerk store
te draw upon and a wireless connection "te

The Gift That Every Heme
Wanamaker Furniture
What is regarded as the finest exhibition of upholstery and cabinet work in this
country is bound te be a very geed place te come te for gifts of beauty and usefulness
and enduring worth.
It is certainly regarded as such by a very large and increasing number of people
whose one object is te find a gift that will carry a message.
They are cheesing Wanamaker furniture because it is pre-eminently a gift of
that sort, a gift that leaves no doubt as te the feeling (hat dictated the choice of it.
The range of pieces shown en this Fifth Fleer is certainly interesting te go
through. Here are upholstered chairs and rockers and davenports that are an
embodiment of ease, comfort and luxury. As gifts for elder people such things held a
place of their own.
Uncommon and notably individual pieces, some of them faithful copies of fine
old originals, are numerous in the display. A gift of one of these is something that
will really enrich a home.
The hand-painted pieces held a gift quality of a distinctive kind.
Every piece en the fleer is, a thing of real worth in the gift sense and in every
ether sense, because it is made en sound principles, made sensibly with a view te the
purpose for which it is intended, made as beautifully as it is possible te have it and
as soundly as will insure length of service.
Cheese anything from a footstool te a sumptuous davenport, from a boekholder
te a wonderful chifForebe, from a tray te a highboy, from a tea wagon te a writing
desk and se en.
