TUESDAY EVENING,
TO MARK FRIDAY
WITH RED CROSS
Zembo Shriners Heady For
Christmas Seal Benefit Con
cert and Drill
Dont forget to mark Friday, De- j
cember 29, on your Christmas week j
special calendar with a cross—a "red ;
cross," if you will—because that's the
date that has been set aside for the
Zembo band and patrol concert and
drill for the benellt of the Red Cross
Christmas 3eal sales campaign.
Chestnut Street Auditorium and 8
o'clock in the evening are the place and
time, and as for the Girl, you'll be ex
pected to take her along. The program
will be opened by an unusually attract
ive concert, the band having prepared
especially for this affair. Following
the concert the gay Zouave-clad mem
bers of the patrol will go through all
the marches, countermarches, pivots,
wheels, etc., that comprise the Zembo
string of evolutions.
After the drill there will be the
dance!
If you've never danced to the music
of Zembo band you've mißsed a very
great deal, but this shortcoming can
easily be remedied Friday evening if
you wish by calling 'round at Chestnut
Street Auditorium and trying out a
"fox" or two.
Zembo band lias put more than or
dinary effort into the plans for Fri
day's benefit entertainment and many
of the Shriners have sacrificed busl- |
ness and private interests to assist the i
general committee in boosting the en- |
tertainment.

Greatest Price Reductions We've Ever Given
Sale Starts Wednesday Morning at 8 O'Clock
Instead of completing our enlarging and remodeling work by October Ist, this beautiful new store room was not
turned over to us until the latter part of November.
Consequently, we were held back almost two months in our Fall business, as a result of which our cases contain
more garments at this time than they should. So to-morrow we will begin to move them out at the greatest price
reductions we've ever offered.
It's a golden opportunity for the woman who needs a new coat, suit, skirt, street or evening dress. Come early
and choose from a wide range of styles at prices that average a half.
