To say offhand here what pic

would be like committing one
self to the size Of a piece of

But we will mention that an
especially desirable selection
can now be made in the "safe

lace Nutting color photographs,
framed; also, in the same size,

T e Wanamaker Ru G
Store (Seventh h Floor,
Chestnut) is pretty gener-
ally recognized as Oriental
rug headquarters.
Certainly a happy choice
is easy to make where the
stocks are so large and so
varied, not merely among
the great palace pieces, but
among the smaller room
sizes, all the way downward
from the 6x 9-foot rug,
= usually ranked as the
smallest Of the room
sizes," to the fascinating
little oblong Anatolian or
square Chinese mat.
At this very time our as
sortment is as near perfec-
ton as any can be.
The variety and quality
of the many types of ex-
cellent Persian, Caucasian
and Chinese weaves, and
their reasonable prices,
astonish many who come
here to buy them.
Fortunate in it's furnish
ings, however simple, is
the house or apartment,
however small, where one
sees, let us say, on the
dining-room floor a hand
some Serapi rug, striking
in it's successful mingling
of strong, barbaric colors
and designs, or a splendid
Saruk, a weave noted for
it's luster nd h eavy
weight; in the living room
a rich Kermanshah, soft
and silky in texture, pre-
senting intricate designs
and melting hues of tur-
quoise, rose, tan or ivory;
and in the bedroom a fine
Chinese rug, possibly a
''peach-blow' or one of
those unrivaled truly
Celestial blues.

Dishes Cut to Fit

a small apartment, possibly
without a pantry or even room

possible of attainment; that is,
the quantity can be cut to fit

One of the most remarkable
features of Wanamaker service

Quite small banjo clocks can
be had for quite small bedrooms

AS even low ceilings cannot
quench the admiration most
folks feel for the stately hall or

several styles in the bungalow

inches shorter than the ordi-

If still more light is required,
put in a floor reading-lamp,
which can be moved about from

pleasant variety of choice of

1O7 or 108 pieces of china can
select from the varied and high
grade open-stock wares to be
found here such dishes as
will likely "see them through"
for quite a while. The collection
should embrace about SO pieces,
including six each of the indi-
vidual dishes.
One can always get as many
more Of these dishes as one
wants, the stock being open, so
that breakage or the extension
of ones family causes no en-
barraSsment.
The reason we frankly recon-
mend this plan, although we
carry and will cheerfully sell
you regular small dinner set"
(52 pieces) of American semi
porcelain in simple gold-band or

is that the latter is not open

it's floor entirely or nearly
covered by one large rug
than with several small
ones scattered about.
This is true also of the
bedroom, but many people
believe it more sanitary to
furnish it with a larger
area Of bare floor space,
broken by two, three or
four small rugs.
Large or small, we can
furnish the size rug you
want, and most likely de-
light your taste as we'll,
from a quite exceptional
assemblage of standard
domestic weaves-Axmin-
ster, chenille, Klearfax.
Aside from the larger
sizes, we have hundreds of
rugs between the sizes of
2212x36 inches and 36x63
inches.
Very interesting and
attractive is the collection
of braided rag rugs, both
handmade and machine
made, in both bright and
subdued colors, which are
often in demand for bed
rooms furnished in Co.
lonial style.
Klearf1ax deserves a
special recommendation as
a floor covering for small
rooms, for it bears a most
amazing lot of walking on;
it comes in the plain colors
"a most attractive range
of browns, grays, greens,
blues, tans, roses, etc.

spaciousness, and it comes

and how much more so in small
ones!
Of course, the Wanamaker
Picture Store (Fifth Floor,
Market) has been famous for
so many years that it is the
natural instinct with most folks
to come here for any particular
choosing they have to do.
Nowhere else, probably, are
there so many pictures of diff
ferent sizes and styles of franz
ing, representing so many diff
ferent subjects to choose from
at such reasonable prices.

The small room should light
from the side rather than the
center.
A side bracket is preferable
to a table lamp, since it elimi-
mates even a table. 1t distributes
the light more evenly than a
center light, and even the cell
ing looks larger than when
broken by a chandelier.

Let Your Walls
Work for You

to make your small apart
ment a small gem; and if
you use light, plain-colored
paper-a softshade of buff,
tan, gray or pale rose-it
will not seem so small as a
figured paper will make it.
, If you have a plain
colored rug or carpet, the
wallpaper should be a fig
ured one, for the proper
contrast; but the pattern
or stripe may be in an in
conspicuous brocade effect,
and should always be small.
One piece of advice that
applies to your home, what
ever it's size, is to build it's
decoration from the floor
up.
In other words, think of
your rugs first of all.
There's not only an artis-
tic principle here, but a bit
of blunt business sense.
The wallpaper you will
leave behind you if you
move, but your rugs will
accompany you wherever
you go.
A mistake would be
awful.
But it's not easily made
if you buy your rugs here.

VI SIbtS "nU PoS'S
and piers,
But a home is built of loving
deeds
That stand q thousand
gears"
THAT'S a thing to
think of, when you
stand in discourage
ment in your small apart
ment or bit of a house on
moving day, or even before
moving, when it is entirely
empty and looks, oh, so
teeny :. weehy you could
most cry!
Or, perhaps, worst of all,
when you are completely
"settled" (if one ever is),
but, in looking around the
new home, are dissatisfied
, with the results of your
faithful labors and feel like
routing out everything and
rearranging the whole
place.
Better do that than con-
tinue dissatisfied. Char
lotte Perkins S Gilman's
story of "The Yellow Wall
Paper" and the woman
whom it finally drove crazy,
pictures an extreme case,
but is founded on perfectly
good feminine psychology.
Best of all, however, is it
to give careful study to
every seeming-small detail
Of your furnishings, before
rugs, wallpapers, hangings
and pictures are placed
"for good" or for other
wise.

they are called on con-
tinually to serve.
If you do not wish this,
you can still enjoy and
profit by their taste and
skill in interior arrange
ment by simply walking
through the series of fine
salons on the Fifth Floor
(Chestnut) and cleaning
ideas from them.
Great palaces in foreign
lands may contain more
glitter and splendor than
these spacious and sumptu-
ously furnished rooms, but
as an ideal assemblage Of
all that produces beauty,
luxury and good taste in
the appointments Of a re-
fined and com f o TT able
American home, one might
go far to find their like.

BREACH OF FAITH TO REMOVE
MEDICAL SCHOOL DE-
LARES VIRGINIA lis
TORIAN

Charlottesville, July 25.-Dr. Phil
lip Alexander Bruce, eminent W.
ginia historian, in rece 1t protest
agaisnt the removal Of the medical
department of the Unive sity OF
Virginia to Richmond, declared that
such s!ep would amoant to
breach of faith with the benefactors
of the institution who have given
large sums of money to>endow the
medical school, tee hospi'al and
other University departments with
the tacit understanding that it
would be kept intact.
"The University hospital was
largely built through the generous
gifts of Mr.. Charles Steele, Of New
York." states Dr.. Bruce, who, un-
doubtedly, was principally actuated
in making these gifts by grateful
feeling for his alma mater. Mr..
Steele's benefaction was intended
for the university just IS it now
stands on the spot associated with
all his memories of the institution.
Would it not be breach OF faith on
the part of the State practically to
destroy all these gifts by transfer
ring the hospital to Richlnond?"
"What is true Of Mr.. Staele's ben
efaction is rtue of every other that
has been bestowed on the university
Let the notion get abroad that the
principle has been established that
any school Of the university can
upon some plausible pretense be re-
planted elsewhere, and how many
people vi! be found who would be
willing to give large endowments to
special scholos?"
DR.. Bruce significantly POINTS out
that down to the year 1917 the
State had appropriated to The Uni
versity only S675,00O, as agaisnt
four times that sum, S2,471,000
given by private benefac 'ors, most
of whom were alumni. Since 1917
outside donations have been vsalty
increased by the Ce ltenn'a n Endow
ment and other funds. Dr. Bruce
concludes that the removal would be
certain to cast dampcr Upon the
generosity of future alumni.
