Then he went to the little white cottage
OF Aunt Susan Hewett. Jumping from the
car, he opened the gate, walked to the
door and entered without knocking. Aunt
Susan, her best shawl around her shonl-
dcrs, held out her arms to him, and he en-
braced her.
'I knew you'd come" she whispered.
'T'vr looked for you all day. Johnny, you
dear boy"
Then tears got the better of Aunt Susan.

These White Sales, Wanamaker origi-

women bought underwear by dozens with

If even then the Sales were solidly ser
vlccable, IN bringing together a wide Sc

kind that can only be held in Wanama-

Some things may be missing, but, to

We refer to the scarcity of imported ma
