Some Rather Remarkable
Handbags

These are large, roomy bags of velvet silk,
some with tassels, others without.
The silk bags are in black and navy and the
velvet bags in these colors, besides taupe and
brown.
The remarkable feature of the bags is the
frames, which are of metal resembling silver, and
are excellent limitations of the heavy sterling silver
frames on expensive handbags.
The price on these bags is $3.50 each. and
only an expert can tell them from silver frame
models several times that price.

Ready Tomorrow, Morning
care You Looking for
Somebody

1t was an oldish man standing in the
Courtyard of the Store, where the big
eagle stands guard over the great organ,
and he was gazing up to the galleries and
staring with wondering eyes at the i'm
mensity of everything about him, when
one of the foormen said to him politely:
"Are you looking for somebody" And
this was his reply: "No, am just look
ing around about and thinking what
fine place it is and how we, who worked
in the old Grand Depot, helped to make
it."
Continuing, he said: 81 have great
pride in it," and with tears in his eyes,
added, 81 was one of the first boys who
worked here forty years ago., and am
glad to think how hard we all worked to
make great thing like this for Phila-
delphia."
It is with great thankfulness that
many, still living, who worked for us
come in to enjoy what has been wrought
out by so many who have been faithful to
the principles we sought to establish.

The Gary Tribune Says
EditoriaILy:

Gary is at the threshold of the great
est boon which has ever come to any
city in Indiana
"Distance lends enchantment to the
view in investments, it would seem.
A proposition which a man would
not consider for a minute if located
in Crown Point or Hobart, is snapped
up if thousands of miles away.
THE men who will be the substantial citizens
of Gary ten and twenty years hence will be
those who in these times Of development Of
their own city lost no opportunity to take
part in il. The fellows who will be down and
out long before that time are those who are
now putting their earnings into prospects they
know nothing of a long distance from home"

Happiness.

used to think it was great to disre-
gard happiness, to press to high goal,
careless, disdainful of it. But now !
see there is nothing so great as to be
capable Of happiness-to pluck it out
OF each moment, and, whatever hap
pens, to find that one can ride as gay
and buoyant on the angry, menacing,
tumultuous waves Of life as on those
that glide and glimmer under a clear
sky; that it is not defeat and wretch
edness which comes out Of the storm
OF adversely, but strength and calm
ness.-Anne Gilchrist.

for the Senate in this crisis in tn,
history of our state.
Wisconsin His Home,

Wisconsin is my home. 1t is very
dear to me. What / am / owe much to
it. My body was nourished by pro-
ducts of it's soil. My mind is the re-
suit of the training which came from
it's schools and it's great university.
The good name Of my state is like the
good name Of my home-vitally close
to my life
1t is matter of pride to me that the
leaders of my party weeks ago offered
to the majority political party of this
state, plan of fusion which would
insure the return to the senate Of
some man who would certainly sus-
tain his country in all things. 1t was
a sorrow to me to find that this offer
was rejected.
There remained nothing else then
to do, but to make party nominations.
My party organized and many of the
strong men Of this state, who for many
years have been leaders in the party,
urged upon me that | become can
didate for the nomination of the dem
ocratic party, because by practical
leaders of the party it was felt, | be-
cause Of my association with the ad-
ministration, could make the issue
clear This call was supplemented by
the request of committee of repre-
sentative nOn-partisan business men.
Under such circumstances | was
glad to be of such service and re-
CipnnH nhoir of fha
Trade Commission to devote my whole
time and energy to this end.
All that | am shall be devoted to
the one purpose of leaving nothing
undone, that | can do, to place the
state of my birth and the state of my
home irrevocably and irrefutably
back of the president of the United
States, in this the greatest war in
history. Whether the nominee be my
self or my opponent, 1 plede every
waking hour to the aid and further
ance of this cause.
| have no doubt as to the result. If
the issue is clearly defined and clear
ly made, the vigor and strength of a
breed Of pioneer men of Wisconsin,
the devotion and patriotism of our
cosmopolitan but American popula-
ton, will find expression in no uncer-
tain tones. On the night of April 2
there will come a tremendous answer
to the question of Wisconsin's loyalty
in this situation. That answer will
come with the force of the winds that
sweep down from Lake Superior and
will sweep far across to lover there
to hearten our boys in the trenches
from Wisconsin, and to take the
blush Of shame from their cheeks
That answer will sweep "over the
top" and strike into the councils OF
the war lords Of Germany and demon
strate the unity and power of great
free people. The answer will fall
gently into the hearts of the suffering
people of Germany and show to them
that the heart of America beats sym
pathetically for humanity and hope
fully for the speedy realization of such
ideals of democracy in Germany, as
will bring speedy and permanent
peace to the world.
Our country calls-let all true men
respond
