solid-colored ones in their
gayety..
The vast quantity in
sight did not surprise me,
when I remembered how
many just of us girls, in
just our own small Pennsyl-
vania town, buy all their
handkerchiefs at Wana-
makers.
Nothing seemed uninter-
esting to me-not even the
sturdy shoes, military boots
and puttees, that the men
hung over (somewhat as I
had hung over the laces)
nor the prosalc-seemlng
hosiery and underwear
counter-(oh, those loves
of silk stockings ,
] had to pause, Of course,
to admire the pretty sun-
and-rain umbrellas, with
their bright handles and
their sensible loops for car
rying, which made a pic
turesque corner near the
Market Street elevators.
Across the aisle, too, was
a charming cluster Of child
ren's frilly parasols that
looked like June pinks, and
perfect forest of sturdy
masculine umbrellas.

Grand Court, which I've al

classic columns, rising
white and cleaning above

ted with tiers of flags Of

gan to see the wonderful
connection between them
and the merchandise and
the service that such q
store as this Wanamaker
establishment gives them.
Everyone seemed to
have his or her errand, and
everyone was waited on so
quietly and promptly-not
officiously or with any Of
the fawning manner that
always reminds me of the

Aunt Susan entered Hobbs
store on the Main Street,
and Mr.. Hobbs-he was
awfully bow-legged, you
know-swooped down on
her with his invariable:
walk this way, Madam"
and she snapped out:
THANK you, / much pre-
fer my own manner Of

more beautiful strains,

The Hydro-Motor Car, = Canton pro

the following verse:

That echoes over land and sea-
And Nils my men with fear
Said Hindsnburg to Kaiser BILL
'I'Ve told you oft before,
That you'd regret the day you forced

-But," says Bill. we have the largest

But UNCLE SAM has said
That he'll hght on till

He has q mighty record

And when he once gets going,

Said Bill. He cannot cross the Rhine

Again he cried, He cannot cross

Said HIndenburg. Have you not heard
How they Intend 10 cross?
'Tis not on bridges they will come,

''oult joking now" said Kaiser Bill,
His anger quickly rising;
The fear he felt within himself
To him was most surprising.
Said HindenburE with trembling voice,
Indeed It Is no joke;
Although ! hate to say 1t, BILL
I'm sure they'll get our goat
They have a Hydro-Motor car
That runs on land and water;
And when they once get started.
Well therell be an awful slaughter.
They need no bridges; don't you see
The pontoon's out OF date;
A thousand different points they'll

Will GIVE Prize
FOR LIKENESS OF
COLE AERO-EIGHT

Through ages past, artists, selen-
lists, and many masters in their pro-
fessions have met with problems
seemingly without solution. During
medieval times scientists sought to
discover "the philosophers stone"
Artisans have failed to discover the
lost art of hardening copper. Mathe-
maticians have spent years in looking
for "the third dimension" and men in
all ages have been baffled with the
haunting dream Of perpetual motion.
And now the Cole Motor Car Com
pGny is Offering a prize for the artist
who can portray the simple, dashtng,
yet elusive attTactivsnsss Of the new
Aero Eight models. Photography and
present art methods have seemingly
failed to do them justice. 1T looks
as though q new school Of art were
needed to depict their winsome per-
sonaIIty," said one Of the company Of
hciaIs.
There is the concealed power Of the
lion under the hood. The idea OF
the trained muscles OF the athlete
must be blended with the grace ana
fieetness of the bird poised for flight
The elean-limbed lines OF the thor
ouEhbred are an essential part of the
plot.
Then the hnai impression must be
combination Of an inherent stalwart-
ness and dependability ready to
serve the owner with the unhesi-
tating readiness Of the genii Of Alad-
din's lamp. The idea Of the soul Of
the car must be mixed with the paint.
The artist must frst get the concep-
tion OF the personality Of these mod
els before he can convey this idea
to the public.
II Is said that Leonardo de Vinci
spent years in depicting the haunting
smile OF Mona Lisa, but he finally
got an impression that has been
handed down through the ages. In
the anne way the motor car designers
art has found hnal expression in the
Asro-Eight.

hold this offer open until some artist
can conceive and express the true pic
