The Last Minute Summer Sewing

These pretty skirting mater
ials are SO inches wide, and the
price range is from 65c for a
cotton poplin to $1.35 for a fine
novelty weave.
WE wish we could mention
" every feature in the
lavish display of cotton goods Of
all sorts on this busy First
Floor:
The enhancing silk-and-cotton
combinations, the dainty hand
kerchief linens and plain or
CANDIES in delicate shades;
And, above all, the indispens-
able voile, plain, figures or em-
broidered-all kinds and colors
Of voiles for all sorts of dressesl
Perhaps the handsomest are
the new bordered goods, con-
sisting of deep borders embroid-
cred in new and beautiful de-
signs in self-color and black.
These come in pink, light blue,
and light tan, and are SO a yard,
with plain colored voiles in
matching shades, 75c a yard.
Fine ginghams abound, in the
new Spring plaids, highly suit
able for sturdy morning dresses
and children's frocks, 30c to
S1.25 yard.
CINCE in all the Summer sew
- ing, especially on the fine,
sheer materials used for lingerie,
for negligees or for dainty white
frocks or blouses, pretty lace for
trimming plays an important
part, it may be of interest to add
that we've recently received an
importation of laces from Not
tingham, England, which are to
be found on the Main Floor,
Central.
In this new importation are in
cluded imitation Valenciennes,
filets, cotton Cluny and Biuche
laces. There are kinds made
especially for camisoles. All can
be matched in sets. Prices range
from &c TO 1925 a yard.
A still more important and in
teresting consignment Of import
ed laces is one that was recently
literally unearthed in Belgium.
They were dug up from a cell
lar, unharmed-as exquisite in
their fineness, (every cleaning
thread hand-made) and as fresh
and snowy, as on the day when
their prudent owner placed them
in moisture-proof box and hid
them away from the loot-mad
Huns.
The cellar was in Brussels,
during the period of the German
occupancy. The lace is the finest
of genuine Valenciennes, such as
simply isn't being made today at
all.
When it was brought to the
light, we selected the most beau
tiful of all of the beautiful pat
terms and brought them over
here for our customers.
Prices are based on pre-war
ratings; starting at $3.50 yard
for a half-inch edging and going
to S2G.75 a yard for one 31a
inches wide.
There are also a few inser-
tions, in some cases matching the
edgings.

II VEN the prospective bride
T. is sure TO have some of it
to do
Yes, we mean that self-same
bride of next June who was
going to profit by the exper-
fences Of other brides, and was
to have every garment-every
last detail of her trousseau, In
fact-purchased, completed, tis-
sue-wrapped and stored in her
beautiful red-cedar chest, by the
middle of May at the very latest.
We have in mind one philo-
sophical (or possibly neryousD
little bride, who, finding herself
and all her attendants dressed at
1850 A. NJ, for a ceremony that
was to take place at ii A. M,
ives, the story's a true one)
serenely sat herself down to
occupy the intervening ten min
utes by proceeding with the
hemstitching of an unfinished
bit of her trousseau.
At this very moment, there are
a plenty Of wedding-dresses
which will be needed in June but
for which as yet the material
isn't even bought, or is only be-
ing bought just now.

RUSY indeed are the yard
~ sticks on the First Floor,
Chestnut Street).
Most every minute there's a
call for the beautiful, white,
shimmering silks Of various
sorts which are in Fashions high
demand-not only for stately
wedding-gowns, but for making
the soft silken undergarments,
or graceful negligees, for the
trousseau.
And then they are wanted by
womenkind in general for max
ing graduating frocks, for
blouses, for frocks for children,
even for dress Innings.
The fame of the values of the
Wanamaker white silks has gone
abroad.
There is cleaning white wash
satin, of good quality, 35 inches
wide, to be had for $165; 40
inches wide at 81 yard.
Soft. lovely white crepe de
chine is 38 inches wide at $1.50,
40 inches wide at 81 yard.
Then there's lustrous white
taffeta, SO inches wide, in two
grades, respectively $1.50 and 81.
The most wonderful, however,
of all the white silk values are
the newly imported Japanese
habutai silks.
One grade of good white
habutai is priced as low as Soc
a yard!
Other fine grades of white
Japanese habutais are S1.15,
s1.35, $1.65, So and 1925, all 36
inches wide.
THERE are tco interesting
- stories of the Wanamaker
SIX Store that we see no reason
to withhold from our readers.
Story Number One is of a GER
tain grade of white habutai that
one of our own employees
wanted.
The price asked here sounded
to her high.
So she made a tour of the other
silk stores in Philadelphia.
Evening journal., 1919-05-13

Here's what she found every
where else: either the quality
was poorer or the price higher,
or both.
So she came back to buy her
silk at Wanamaker's.
Story Number Ti0o is of a silk
merchant from another city,
who came in here and said:
81 will take every one of your
S2 pongees and can sell them at
\ profit. There is nothing to
equal them anywhere else.p
He was right, but you'll be
glad to hear Especially if you're
looking for a fine, heavy Shan
tung pongee to make up for a
Summer suit or frock) that we
didn't let him carry off all the
pongees, preferring to save them
for you, our retail customers.
Today the Silk Store contains
thousands OF yards OF all the
wanted silks in all the best quail
tiles for all the last-minute
frocks, suits and blouses that all
the Summer trunks are waiting
to receive
And all at the most moderate
prices possible for their quail
tiesl
The printed silks-represent-
ed by foulards, radiums, taffetas
and figured Georgettes, are
are priced $40, S2.75, SO, $3.50
and 81. They're in the new
attractive Summer designs,
mostly navy and white and
black-and-white, 40 inches wide.
The handsome, serviceable

BEING SOUGHT

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. g.
Startling facts in the Cooper mur-
der mystery were brought to light
today when Maude Perkins, negro
cook at the Robin Cooper home, told
The police Of parties staged by men
end women at the Cooper home
every night from the time Mrs.
Cooper left Sunday up to and in
cluding Wednesday, the night before
the murder.
Mrs. Cooper left on the Sunday
before the murder to visit her
father, Milton H. Smith, president
Of the Louisville & Nashville rail-
rosdsat louisville, KY.
Two Women Callers.
The cook told police officials that
Mr.. Cooper came home late Sunday
afternoon accompanied by q gentle
man friend. She said that later two
young women came alone IN an auto
mobile, and that Cooper explained
that one Of the young lady guests
was the wife Of the man who came
with Cooper two hours later. The
cook said that Mr.. Cooper addressed
the young lady as Miss Elizabeth"
The party Sunday night, the Per-
kins woman said, was followed by
other parties on Monday, Tuesday,
and Wednesday nights At the last
9arty, held on the night preceding
the night OF the killing, one woman
and four men were present, she said,

There was no party at the house on

ever, have other evidencs which may

were on that evening.
Society Folk ouiued.
A man and q woman OF the highest
social standing here were summoned
today to the police station, where
they were closely questioned. Police
Investigators were reluctant to talk
Of their testimony. This much, how
ever, was learned: On the night OF
the tragedy this man and woman were
driving in an automobile through
fashionable Belle Meade Park. where
The murder took place. They stopped
near what later proved to be the scene
Of the murder Hto drink q bottle or
two Of coca cola"
They saw another car, resembling a
Buick. stopped in the Leake lane,

epattered. was found two days later.
IA negro witness testified to seeing
q car that looked like Buick at the
same place on the night Of the mur-
eer)
The night was unusually cold, as
Nge1 as rainy and police have their
doubts about the couple stopping in
the park to fmbibe cold soft drinks.
l,hey believe that their car, and DOS
Eibly Cooper's also, may have been
among a number that were ''circulat-
ing" through the driveWays of the
park on that evening. No evidence
duplicating the man and woman in |
the crime was secured. and they were
released Their names are being
withheld
One feature Of the murder which
would bear out the theory Of the "au-
fomobile party was that Cooper's car,
Found beside the road, was backed OF, |
not turned on while going forward,
as would have been the case with a
