"What'S the News
at Wanamaker'

THIS store of ours has entered so
/ completely into metropolitan
life that the news of WanamakerS
is daily household question.
We cannot print half the Store
News. The store brlstleS, palp-
tates, blooms, overlloWs with in
terest. The daily visitors catch the
spirit of the place.
The show of chrysanthemumS
excites the admiration Of all corners.
1t began on Monday last; to-day it
will be renewed by the addition OF
many cut blooms and Towering
plants.
Our semi.annual millinery recep-
tons are the most important affairs
of their kind in all this broad land
vet the show of trimmed millinery
here to-day surpasses the special
exhibition with which the season
opened. Buyers of choicest Lin
gerie are finding out the elegant
Completeness of our stock. Never
before has it been properly shown.
1t is worthily presented now.
London has Derby Day. Paris
has the Grant P'71. New York
has the HORSE SHOW. These affairs
touch society closely. Horses and
dress have very profound relations.
MillinerS and groomS, dressmakerS
and jockeys, tailorS and SaddlerS
have common interests. The COM
ing Horse Show is a trade factor.
It's impress dominates the store.
And that's the charm of it just
now.
