14 <t S DIVES, POMEROY STEWART The Days Are Moving Vacation ward . It is a bit early to take your vacation, but not one bit too early to think of it. Half of our pleasure is in anticipation. Almost before you know it, the wings of Time will hurry up the hour of your leaving. And as a suggestion, we would recommend that you do your vacation shopping early—while the store is in all its variety aud freshness. Shopping is not unlike picking flowers from the garden; somehow, the best, the rarest, the most beautiful varieties are always the first to be selected. This store at the moment presents the blue-violet, that pink-arbutus, that white-rose beauty of freshness. And after all, a store is but the mirror of Nature. In Winter, we tell of the woolens, and in the woods you see the rough bark. In Summer, we offer the filmy laces and all the chro matic shades that we find in the summer woods. If you were to pick the choicest flowers in the conservatory of Nature, you would go early. The same good rule applies to shopping.
