We Bid You Welcome
To Our New Home

IHFTH AVENUE and Thirty Ninth Street.
i southwest corner-that is now the Ovington
address. For here on the crest of Murray Hill,
our new building stands to greet our old friends.
It is beautiful building. 1t is centrally To-
Gated. 1t is prepared with new interiors and
new merchandise Of many and marvellous kinds.
But for all the beauty of the new building,
for all it's accessible location, and even for it's
multitude of new wares, you will know as soon
as you cross the threshold, that it is typically
and completely Ovington's
For, though the place changes and the loca-
ton improves, its personality has been undis-
turbed by growth spirit of the shop remains
the same.
Seventy five years ago, Ovington's was
neither large nor famous. 1t was young shop
then, in the days when Polk was President, but,
even then, it displayed the same two character
istics which have always distinguished 1.-THE
two characteristics by which it has grown and
grown.
First charming things
at sound values
IN 1916, three-quarters of century ago, money
was dear and goods were cheap and the house.
wives Of the day were thrifty. And had Owing
tons been founded upon any other than the
principle of sound values, it would have withered
then and there.
But wither it did not Grow it did. And the
judgment OF what was charming and unique
the flair for seeking out the unusual-combined
with a sense of good values has made it grow
and grow throughout long and pleasant life.

The Gift Shop Of Fifth A
The New York herald. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1920-1924, 1921-06-21
The doors of our new home
are open to you
And it has always been a
friendly little shop

ALWAYS, too, it was friendly little shop
shop where no naughty attendants urged its
patrons to buy, shop where. hostesses felt free
to come to compare and to consider.
To three generations, Ovington's has been
known and respected as a fine old china and
glassware house, conservative and good. Today
it still has that seventyfive year old reputation,
for it's stocks of both are among the largest and
most carefully selected, but to this reputation
Ovington's has added new-that of the fore
most gift shop in the world.
Over the seven seas and through the seventy
newly stencilled borders, into cities of brilliant
name and into queer little towns, the search for
good gifts goes on. For this business, though
IS years old, is forever new. And the shop.
though one of the most venerable on Fifth
thoroughly modern.
Il treasure house of the
4OorLd's choicest gifts
AND today, throughout America, its very name
suggests wedding receptions where gifts are
smarter than usual parties where prizes are
cordially received and homes whose appoint
ments are perfect.
Today, as always, its china and crystal are
superb in quality and variety. Today, distinctive
lamps and shades, odd furniture sturdy Sheffield
and mirrors of good line, and above all, the
smartest of gifts, may always be had.
But the spirit Of friendness, of unobtrusive
welcome and help is still here, the old, old ideas
Of good values and good taste are with us yet.
You are always welcome at 43o Fifth Ave-

OF THE SEASON
Diary of General Dd,Ues

Charles G.. Dawes, who entered the
war as a major of engineers and rose
to the rank of brigadier general, kept a
diary in which he set down an ac-
count of his activities that there might
be q record Of them for himself and for
his family. This diary is now pub
lishcd by Houghton Mifflin Company
in two octave volumes. The first VOL
ume contains the diary and the second
volume Is devoted to n reprint Of i'm
portant historic documents referred to
in the body of the diary which would
have interrupted the course Of the mar
rative if they had been included where
they belong.
General Dawes came in contact with
all the leading figures in the war on
the side of the Allies, and he tells in
teresting things about them. The value
Of the diary, however, lies in its dis
closure Of the activities of the purchas-
ing agency of which the general was
the head. Although he was without pre-
vious military experience, he succeeded
in mastering the details of his job and
in making many valuable suggestions
to the military experts. He early saw
the necessity OF unified military COM
mand, as did General Pershing. and as
he says, it took the weight of
the American influence to swing the AL
lies into agreement to put Marshal
Foch Mt the head of all the forces. Gem
eral Dawes praises General Pcrshing
without stint. The book will be indis-
pensable to the student of the war,
whether he be military expert or q
layman

NduaL aspects of the Var

NiscOunt Jcllicoe of Scnpa, G. G. b.,
o. NJ, G. G. V. o., admiral of the fleet.
in his new volume. "The Crisis of the
Naval War" George II. Doran Com
nnny), carries on his story Of the
British Navy in the World War.
Taken in connection with Admiral
1ellicoo's earlier volume, The Grand
Fleet" which covered the naval aspects
of the war 1014-1G, this new volume
provides abundant material in the
aScription Of services of the British
Navy in winning the war. The author
begins In 1916 ut the time he relin-
quished command Of the grand feet to
Admiral Beatty to become first sea lord
of the admiralty. lie devotes much
attention to the work done by the fleet
in combating the unrestricted U-boat
warfare of the enemy after the reorgan-
ization of the admiralty staff in which
he was an active factor.
In addition to inside naval. political
and diplomatic history, the book has
much of romance in it. particularly In
| dealing with the audacious antisub
marine measures and operations. II
describes the world wide convoy and
transport system. the effect of the entry
of the United States in the war and
other factors that led TO final victory.
Niscount Jelicoe's book has been
praised by none other than Rear Ad
miral Bradley Fiske, who says: ITO
Americans one of the most important
facts connected with this book is that
it substantiates all the charges made
by Admiral Sims as to the extreme un :
readiness for war Of the United States

Gene StrdttOn-POrter's Latest

When it takes first edition of
5000 copies of Mrs. Gene Stratton-
Porter's latest novel to supply the de-
mand in advance of publication. it is
safe to assume that the heart of
America is still sound. The book, Her
Fathers Daughter Doubleday, Page
& Co... will not rank high as a work
of literary art. The coCky young critics
can tear it all to pieces and are likely
to say patronizing things about the kind
of people who read 1t. Yet with all its
defects and its improbabilitics it is an
absorbing story. AS a novel must be
first of all q story-this is admitted
even by the cOcky young critics-it
need not matter much what else it Is.
1t will be read. In Linda Strong, the
heroine, Mrs. Strntton Porter has cre-
ated n character which is alive and real.
Linda compels the interest and sympa-
thy of the reader. And when tho hook
is finished one lays it down with n
feeling of satisfaction and warm glow
about the heart because it confirms the
fond dcluSion that there are pretty de-
cent people in the world who are some
thing more than mere selfish animals
moved by the instincts of the brute
beasts. The scene is laid in the suburbs
of Los Angeles. where the author has
been spending the last two or three
years. There is much in the book
about the botany of Southern Calfor-
MIA and much aIso-some will think
too much-about the japanese peril.
But the reader can readily skip the
talk about the Pacific Coast race prob
lem II it does not interest him. And
he can skip the botany also. There will
be a complicated plot to hold his at
tcntion and kindly people to keep his
belief in goodness alive. 1t is likely to
take more than 100000 copies of the
book to supply the ultimate demand.

BetiUeen Cloister and Hearth

Theodore Maynard, the young Eng
lish poet, who is at present touring this
country and lccturing. has written an
impressive novel in "The Divine Ad-
venture Of. A. Stokes & Coz.
In a narrow sense it may be
called religious novel, just as Robert
Elsmere' was so classified. But in
broader sense it has been called n sane
and sautarv picture of life, very human
in its fraitics and its aspirations
picture in which every reader, what
ever his aims and goal, may see re-
Elected in some measure his perplexi-
ties, his hopes and his failures. The
theme may be said to be "the adventure
of soul in search of its Cod" Moth
ing could be more representative and
universal than this quest. Mr.. May
nard, who writes with rnre distinction
and who is liberal thinker. man
with n gusto for life. for hearty laugh
ter and tonic humor. tells his story OF
two contrastcd lives parting company
Mt the cross roads Of the cloister and
the hearth, not in the spirit OF medieval
romance in which Charles Reade wrote,
but in the light of the twentieth cen.
tury.. He has produced work of dis
tinction.
