AManWith a Hammer and a Saw Made Up the Best Ad for
sr
J. Russell Miller
the Auther of Se Mdny Geed Beeks,
was in the Civil War under the Christian Commission
as a distributor of comforts and helper te the soldiers
of the "Department of A .the James." When the war
closed he came te Philadelphia through friendship of
Geerge H. Stuart, President el the Christian
Commission.
In the honest opinion ei the writer he was the
shyest, awkwardest man he eycr knew. But what a
beautiful, busy life he led! His books have been
translated into all languages and his sayings have
burned into every heart that knew him.
Fer example:
"Yeu walk with a friend for years in close,
familiar relations, hnding every day some new
revealing of beauty. One day sorrow enters your life
and you find qualities and comfort in his love of which
you had no knowledge before, which seem te be
reserved just for you."
Handsomely Beaded
Overbleuses of Distinction
Imported most of them, and
the bending hns evidently
started out te show just hew
nrtistic in coloring and design
it can be. Each blouse is se
different; seldom two alike.
Such a blouse has enough dis
tinction for a whole costume
(Thlnl I'loer)
nnd needs but a simple skirt te
complete it.
Crepes de chine, Georgette
and canton arc in white and
just about every color, includ
ing the new shades. One blouse
is in beige with an elaborate
design in smull beads of the new
green. $10.50 te $18.75.
This August Furniture Sale
