Dear Mamma:
It was only yesterday that
Iwrote you about the kitchen
things I bought at Wanna
makers, but | must tell you
what I did afterward.
The more | thought of what
I had saved on those things,
the more sensible it seemed to
buy what china I needed before
next month came around and
brought higher prices. You
see, the September sales in
clude china, cut glass and
lamps as well as housewares.
And you should see the per-
fectly lovely French china din
ner set I got for S47.50! 1t has
1O7 pieces, with four sizes of
plates, three platters and four
vegetable dishes. There is the
darlingest floral border. with
gold edges and coin gold han
dies. | know this set would
cost $40 more at any other
time or any other place.
I also bought some odd
pieces of china that I needed
and several beautiful pieces of
cut glass. The least | saved
was 25 per cent and some
things were half price.
The lamps are just beyond
the elevators from the china
and I thought I'd see what was
offered there. I'm glad l did,
for I got a stunning floor lamp
and a charming little table
lamp for about two-thirds
what they should be, and a
very good-looking shade for
half price.
While we were waiting to
get a house | put in the time
looking around, and got a
pretty fair idea of values. Do
you know that I saved about a
hundred dollars in the last few
days by taking advantage of
these sales at Wanamaker's.
If I'd waited till next Tuesday
it would have been too late.
Love to Father and yourself
from
Your devoted daughter,
HENRIETTA.
P. S.-Henry says the latest
at the Office is that the Kaiser
has a sore tooth, but won't
have it pulled because he is
afraid of the yanks.

Some Storekeepers Think That
the Best Way to Please
the People

Is to offer what they have to sell at reductions in
prices, as if Philadelphians were built upon a scale
that required merchandise to be trimmed up with
peacock gaudery' of some kind, and that the people
of Philadelphia must be caught as fish with some
kind of a bait.
1t is an old jog-trot beaten track apparently
hard to get out of.
1t is one of the leftover remnants of the old
him-fam game, an "Open.and-shut' trick.
The man puts on an article a high price, and
then draws a pen or pencil through and writes a
lower figure, which in a large majority of cases is a
price it should have been marked at first and the
same at which others in the same city had always
sold it.
1t is a great pleasure for this Store to have
made a ---
