ously re-creating every delicate over
tone, and every emotional shade that
gave the original music its quality
and beauty, enthralls all who fall
under its magic spell, and to enjoy
the illusion of the artists actual pres
ence, it is not imperative to sit glued
to the side of the instrument, for it
is equally satisfying from afar. Nor
is it necessary to rush up after selec-
tions, as it finally stops itself without
any injury to records.

UR most intimate friend, the
I Zone we fly to when worn out
~ mentally and physically; the
one that never minds how much we
stretch and yawn in its presence; the
one that rests, stimulates and invig-
crates us is-our bed, equipped with
Hair Mattress and Box Springs
from the H. d. Dougherty Faultless
Bedding Co., 1882 Chestnut Street.
At no time in the history of man has
there been a more comfortable, sani-
tary, or durable form of bedding.
Feather mattresses may have seemed
so, but were most unhealthy, lacking
one of the conspicuous qualities OF
horsehair-resiliency, which allows
air to penetrate every fiber, repelling
impurities, preventing the retention
of moisture and odors so prevalent in
other kinds of mattresses in warm
weather, and insuring cool slumbers.
A MOST striking change has
~ come over the spirit of men in
L a regard to their clothing. Time
was when even those who exercised
good Judgment in other matters
clung to their warm woolen suits
through the hottest weather, as il
trying to harden themselves for the
hereafter. But that was before Palm
Beach suits were invented, and wom-
en- felt sorry for them. Now they are
more sensible, but if some continue
to swelter there isn't much sympathy
floating around, for every child knows
all they need do is to get into tropical
garments and realize what summer
comfort means. and at Jacob Reeds
Sons, 1424-26 Chestnut Street, there
are many tropical-weight coat-and-
trouser suits of genuine Palm Beach
Cloth, Summer Worsteds, Ereeze-
weave, Aerpore, Mohair, Linen or
Silk.
