It was Goldsmith who said, "I chose my wife as she did her wedding gown, for qualities that would wear well." (De net ask when and where it was said, for the writer only remembers having read it somewhere.) William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, that old fellow who in all winds and weather stands en the top of City Hall, once said : "Never marry but for love, but see that what thou levest is lovely."

People who knew the best and can afford the best cheese the Ampice. In the music-rooms of many of the most magnificent homes throughout the country a line Ampice occupies the place of honor. An electrically operated Ampicd-in-the-Chickering or Ampice-in-the-Knabe is beyond question the highest type of musical instrument that could be possessed. Yet this supreme invention of the musical world is net beyond the reach of these who must carefully plan their expenditures. A Chickerinjr or a Knabc Ampice Grand Piane is priced $3500. In the upriRht form each is $1800. A Marshall & Wendell Ampice Grand Piane is $1975. In the upright piano form it is $1050. A Kaines Brethers Ampice Grand Piane is $2375. An upright is $1200. Any of these may be purchased en convenient terms, with used pianos taken as part payment. Whatever the purchaser pays for his Ampice, he has the satisfaction of knowing that he owns the finest reproducing piano in the world today. Ask us for literature and information.

(tUrenth fleer) TTF YOU yourself are m any business, you otter a lower Ibid en an order for a thousand articles than en an order for ten. If you are net in business, you knew very well that a bale or a barrel, a crate or a gross, of any kind of house hold or personal goods you buy, comes cheaper te you than if you buy in small quantities. It is inevitable that the finest factories should offer best terms te the house that gives them largest orders and allows them plenty of time te "de themselves proud" in turning out their most careful and creditable work. It is inevitable, our business policy being what it is, that we should share these price advantages with the customer. It is inevitable that the customer who has seen all the furniture exhibits, sometimes of two towns his own and ours should exclaim : "There is no use in employing comparisons, for no furniture and no savings compare with Wanamaker' s." Altogether en our three furniture floors we have upward of 15,000 different sample pieces en display, backed by the huge stocks in our warehouses, from which fresh furniture flews in as fast as the furniture sold flews out. The Sale started two weeks age with stocks of 40,000 pieces, in which was represented every weed that is beautiful and useful for furniture, from walnut te satinwood, every period style of England, France or even American Colonial origin worth following, and every excellence in construction known te masters in cabinet work, from interiors of drawers carefully joined and lined with well-finished ma hogany or sycamore, te all-hair filling for the delightful, roomy, invit ing, overstuffed fireside chair that gives such service in the bedroom. But there will come an end te it. Ne use raising false hopes. There will come an end te August and te August prices. Best te cheese new, while there is full and plenty te cheese from. Consider Your Bedroom what an important room it is! The most important in the whole house, is it net? Gypsies, Arabs, primitive man, the animals themselves, can camp outdoors, te eat their meals and conduct their social intercourse; but when the shadows fall there must be a quiet retreat if no tent, at least a hollow tree or an overhanging rock into which te retire' te rest, te think, te knit up afresh "the ravel'd skein of care." Yeu spend eight hours there daily some of them with eyes open in the light and every detail of its furnishings stamps itself upon your brain. When you issue forth from the room te meet the world the size and convenience of the drawers in your bureau, the very amount of hanging space in your chifforebe, the various refinements of comfort represented in your vanity dresser may affect veur dress and appear ance, that appearance of which we all se justly think se much. The smallest of houses has usually two bedrooms te furnish all apartments save the smallest have that number, standards of beautv and taste differ, purses have different stretching limits and all this we have thought of carefully when gathering and when ordering your bedroom furniture for this great August Sale. Which particular suit you the individual, may select from this assortment of three hundred different kinds of bedroom furniture we de net knew, bu we can confidently premise that you can find here the highest value for your money and that you can cheese from the lamest assemblage of excellent furniture in as many kinds, weeds, designs and effects as have ever been brought together 8 Q rr-r ess i Dining -Roem Suits, after the busiest furniture selling in the annals of the trade, are still present in a selection which for combined beauty, qual ity, variety and moderate prices cannot be matched by any two, maybe three, retail collections in the land. 1 ' Jacobean, Georgian, Leuis XVI, Italian, Colonial all the period styles are here and, of course, executed in the finest weeds the lumber forests grew. Knewing that dining-room furniture receives, perhaps, the hardest wear of any furniture in the house, or that, anyway, mere is expected from it than from any ether pieces, we have given as minute study te details making for substantiality in these handsome dining tables, buffets, servers, china cabinets and sets of chairs as te details making for beauty and taste, and that's saying much. If you enter your dining-room three times each day, as hungry; for geed furniture in it as for geed feed it is you who need te see: this August Sale furniture, in all the splendor of beauty, the dignity,: of service ability, enhanced by the golden glow of price-savings, that" still surrounds it. (Sixth Fleer) Antique Furniture has a value beyond the weed and upholstery it is made of. Scarcity enhances the value of anything; and for a fine old desk or chest of drawers, chair or sofa, people expect te pay a price com mensurate with its mellow age and rarity. But August Changes That! In this month of the furniture sale all the beautiful old furniture in The Little Heuse, numbering many antiques of the rarer sort from England, France and Italy, is greatly reduced in price. And all the delightful old pieces in the Antique Reems consist ing mostly of early American furniture, are for sale at special August prices that bring most of them much below the cost of ordinary pieces quite lacking their charm and atmosphere. ' " August is the money-saving month for any one wishing either rare imported antiques or simple old pieces from early American homes. ' (rifth Flew) 'Pleasant Dreams! 9f A prophecy-or a mockery?
