SS@~A AN handkerchiefs be made interestingp
do you ask?
"Can they be made anything else?"
we ask
How often has handkerchief been matter
of intense, crucial almost agonizing interest to
you?
How often would you have given your king
dom had you owned one, for the simplest square of
white cambric, the sauciest sports 'kerchief that
caught yoHr eye as you passed through
Wanamaker's Grand Court2
lost handkerchief was tragedy to Desde-
mona
Many another woman has found it the same.
Letting all Shakespearean quotations 90 by the
board, the indispensable handkerchief is among
the many things which, when close at hand, can
be termed trifes light as air, but when absent are
not to be sneezed at.
" r is of interest to many hundreds of persons in
N the course of day, to uncounted thousands in
a year. that handkerchief can always be
found in Wanamaker's, although, of course, not
the one that you lost.
1t can be any style of handkerchief, for
any purpose, and for any person. and at any price,
from 1211ac to $3.50.
The 1872 cent 'kerchief is plain white with
simple hemstitched hem.
The $3.50 handkerchief is also plain white, is
of sheerest, softest, finest quality, and bordered
deeply with Duchesse lace in rich and exquisite
pattern.
Both handkerchiefs are pure linen We have no
other kind of handkerchief in our house, with the
exception of course, of the mems silk sports hand
kerchiefs and other silk 'kerchiefs.
That is another fact which keeps so many
thousands of customers interested in our hand
kerchefs. They don't have to squint wisely at them
or wonder, or try them out with the wet forenger,
for we, fguratively speaking, wet our own fore
finger FIRST.
4 ND oh, how pretty whether in their white
~ ness or their brightness of color, the hand
kerchiefs are!
The colored handkerchief that delightful
thought which really adds to "the gayety of
nations received its vogue on this side of the
water to the best of our belief through the Wana-
maker Store.
Paris had inaugurated it and liked it. We
brought over consignment of the gay, lovely
things, they captured even conservative hearts,
and now one is in everybody's pocket.
The display to be seen here cannot be equaled
1t adds certainly to the gayety of Wanamakers,
from the decorative standpoint.
From that Of usefulness, it must be remem-
bered that color does cheer. Who knows how often
the blues may have been routed by the futter of a
pink handkerchief, or a brown or even deep
black study beneficially broken up by the sight
of a dashing bit of colored cambria?
Well are they designated sports handker-
chiefs!
~ HE new Fall fashions are now in--yes, Fash
ion leaves her stamp on even a handker-
chief !-and there is scarcely conundrum in
personal taste or subtle color scheme in costume
which could not be answered from this great as
sortment
Every colored kerchief comes from Paris,
and comes in inconceivable variety of shades from
the most delicate tan to warmest fuchsia purple.
In designs we can serve you with dots, bars rings,
checks, plads diamonds, squares, etc. in countless
combinations with white, printed in colors; with
colors printed in white; with white handkerchiefs
with hemstitched colored borders; with coored
ones with white hemstitched borders; with two
tone handkerchefs; with sohd-colored handker-
chiefs not merely in the suit shades but in gown
shades, going even to gray and coral and flame.
Many of the color combinations and designs
were made up to our order from suggestions sup
piled by our own artists, which answers question
sometimes asked:
"WhU are Wananaker sports haRdkerchiefs
so different, so indiuidual?"
YUST as interesting, just as beautiful in their
b snowflake dantiness; IN sense, more varied,
aE and even greater in numbers, is the display Of
white handkerchiefs, each one imported from
France or from Ireland,
Sturdy machine-hemstitched handkerchiefs, !,
fine handkerchiefs hemsttched embroidered
