TINE second week OF January
promises even more amuse-
ment for the socially inclined
than was provided during the
frs, week OF the new year. Those
who held up their hands aghast at the
amount Of gayety INDUCED In during
the past eve days and nights will
now have 10 hold up their hands still
higher to grapple with all that has
to be accomplished by those who are
really in society.
AS has always been the custom. the
Safes for the more elaborate functions
we're made known weeks ago, so Their"
u nothing especially startling in the
number of smart dances hat are TAX

II is the number of unexpected enter-
tainments, all more or less elaborate.
Tor which invitations have gone out
only recently that has caused the
blockade. as it were, for those who are
popular enough to he included as
guests for everything desirable-and

~Dehutantes are at last relegated to

Entertainments are still being given

yves IN honor Of the girls first win

mentS, unless of the most elaborate
nature, are overshadowed by the regu-
Jar routine of entertaining which al

winter season.
The ~dcbutantes OF next season have

any-sidedne

Judge a stores usefulness
by the number OF sides on
which il touches public need.
The more OF these sides il
develops, the more OF use il
is TO the community, and the
more closely il approaches the
well-roundedness OF the sphere
emblem Of perfection.
We like to think that this
Store-The Store Accommo-
dating-is approaching this
well-roundedness in its ser
vice to the public. Every now
and then il is suggested by
some new side-light as TO
what people expect Of us and
for what they depend on US.
Here. for instance, is a
Manhattan woman who al
ways, TO quote her own words.
"fOrsakes the Fifth Avenue
shops and comes over 10
Abraham and Straus before
she goes South for the Winter.
because she finds here the
best and earliest display Of
Dresses and Hats for the
South"
Said another New York
woman recently: II am con-
tinually surprised and de-.
lighted with the things | find
in your store. | picked up a
Winged Victory the other day
for far less than | should have
paid in the art shops for il,
after hunting all over New
York for one at a moderate
price. Then ] bought TWO
Art Rugs that wanted very
much, and paid less than !
expected for them and a
drawing board ! could find
nowhere else and that is the
way it happens every time |
60 into your store. You seem
TO have so many good things
that nobody else thinks of
keeping"
Straws? Perhaps. But we
like TO think Of them as show
ing the drift Of public opinion.

Abraham and Straus Sales OF China and Glassware re-
quire their own basis for comparison.
All the year round we systematically undersell other
stores in these wares-a fact which housekeepers have
verified time and time again. Great, direct purchases,
FOR CASH, and low pricing, accomplish this result.
Thus, sasins, on Abraham and Straus prices on china
and glass mean a great deal more than the average sale can
offer. And this newest January sale is full Of glittering ex-
amples Of what we mean. We place chief emphasis on the
following five splendid groups Of

med I'D his opinion of the riot when
he Jelly remarked:
after having given such a great
demonstration, you who are our guests
will be courteous enough to permit US
to go ahead with the business at
hand"
When New Mexico was called on the
roll and Chairman Harding announced
that he would recognize Senator Fall,
there was an expectant stir. as it was
generally known that Mr. Fall would
nominate Roosevelt. A cheer came
from the galleries as the senator from
New Mexico approaching the plat
form.
His address was very short, as COM
pared with the windy efforts that had
gone before.
This convention has adopted a
platform which every loyal American
can support" he said, land on which
any loyal American can be candi-
date
He declared that our foreign af-
fairs involve problems at this time
which may change the destinies of
the nation and said that it behooves
us to be very careful in picking our
chief executive. for upon him devolves
the administration of foreign AFFAIRS.
The Hope of America.
The senator said he was going to
nominate a man VINO was the nope OF
the foremost citizens of America and
of every neutral nation. That remark
started a wild whoop from the gal
leries which lasted a couple of min
utes.
Mexico, torn by internal strife, had
made her plea, the senator said, and
the Republican party had given its
promise. Every American pleaded for
it 20 nominate the man who is certain
to carry out that promise.
Someone back in the hall yelled
That's Hughes and there was a
murmur from the galleries, where
upon Chairman Harding stepped for
ward and said:
THE delegates to this convention
will listen to the speaker with respect
If the galleries do not, they may lis

Senator Fall said ne was glad of the
assurance of a hearing in a Republi-
can convention and that his candi-

Sideration involved.
He has also received half a dozen
deeds for filing in which appear the
words 81 and other valuable conSid-
erationS" and without the revenue
stamps covering the value of the
"other valuable considerations" 1t
has been intimated to him by the con-
Germ filing the deeds that unless he
recorded them he would face man
damuS proceedings. 1t was stated
plainly that $1,000 hung on the re-
cording of the deeds.
Squires took the matter up with the
referred to S. NJ Brewster, attorney
general. But in the meantime the
county attorney advised Mr.. Squires to
go ahead and record all deeds filed
no matter whether they contained the
phrase objected to by the internal
revenue department or not.
The government holds that to draw
up a deed showing the money involved
to be 81 and other valuable consid-
erations'' is an evasion and that the
internal revenue department is de-
priVed of the war tax due. 1t holds
that the deed must state the actual
amount for which the property
changes hands and that stamps for
the full amount must be attached
The county attorney suggested to
Mr. Squires that an arrest by the in
ternal revenue department would be
preferable to a suit on his bond or any
other kind of an action he might have
to defend at his own expense in court.
In case of arrest the county attorney
would defend Mr.. Squires and there
would be no costs.
