you're living here doesn't mean that
you have the moral responsibility Of
the family on your shoulders, does it?"
''No-o," Harriet admitted, in a
troubled tone.
''Of course not! You live your life,
and mine. Is there anything wrong
about that?"
You know you would never look

Before she answered, the girl looked
beyond him at the splendid stables and
lawns of Crownlands. 1t never lost
it's charm for her, her castle of
dreams; she had longed to be part of
just such a household all her life |
Now she actually was part of it, and

the age of fifteen years, an attrac-

Beginning and Commencement

The Latin commencement is more
formal than the Saxon beginning as
the verb commence, is more formal
than begin. Commencement is for tbe
most part restricted to some form of
action, while beginning has no re-
striction, but may be applied to ac-
ton, state, material, extent, enumera-
ton, or to whatever else may be con-
ceived of as having first a part, noint
degree, etc. The letter A is at the
beginning (nOt the commencement of

JOHN WANAMAKER

: John Wanamaker rose to eminence in
mercantile success because, starting as a
boy, he more than "made good" in what
ever role he was called upon or chose to
fill He was not one Of the common run
of men who seem to he satisfied II they
"get by'' Rather he was one Of the few who
at every stage Of his career, filled the job
/, he was at, and kept his mind alert for the
bigger job to come after.
Efficiency, of course, was not the only
rung Of his climbing to greatness in the
business circles he represented. To effici-
ency he added the policy of being ION the
square," of having respect for the other
fellows just claims; of giving value re=
5&ceived in service and goods. In other words
he laid broad and firm the groundwork OF
J that which brought him the confidence OF
those with whom he had dealings.
= The great Wanamaker mercantile lnstl-
'-==tutions in Philadelphia and New York he
conceived to be something more than mere
media through which to make money. He
made them in smoe respects seml-publlc IN
-sstitutions wherein shopping was the major
business, but only the MAJ jor business, there
being incidental features that had a def
4 mite relationship to the public welfare and
to the cultivation Of some of the finer
human impulss.4 He was a merchant
prince" with the. true princely spirit and
he also was philanthropist. His great
stores were made to contribute to those
phases of his activity. s,'s. -..*
g Mr.. Wanamaker might have come into
prominence in elective public service, but
he chose to exert his influences as a private
citizen5for better ordering Of the social
and political affairs of his state and the
country. Beyond serving as Postmaster
I General under President Benjamin Harri-
eeson, he kept himself aloof from public Of

ABOUT WAR STAMPS

Remember those war savings stamps and
certificates that you bought in 1918?
They're "due" Jan. 1, principal and inter-
est, and Uncle Sam is ready to pay them
off, or trade them for new certificates at
a per cent interest compounded twice a
year.. whichever you want. Treasury offlcl
ais estimate that no less than $4,000, 600
Americans own these war obligations: Are
you one of them? If so, when you "cash il"
You'll realize that the safest investment in
the world is Uncle Sam. Hundreds of thous
ands Of spendthrifts and stock market
suckers are wishing they had invested in
war savings stamps and certificates.
A million doesn't look as big as it used to.
Most of us talk of million as if it were a
dozen eggs. Nevertheless; $625,00O, 900
is considerable Of a figure. That's the total
value of the war savings stamps and ceftl-
ficates maturing Jan. /, 1923. If everyone
insists on cash payment, Uncle Sam will
have to turn a few financial handsprings
and his loose cash in the national treasury
will be rather low at the end of the year.
So he hopes that most of the holders
at least-will trade for the new five year;
treasury certificates Wise investors will.
It's as good as mony in the bank-some
ways better. ..> I'd e.. a
If you want to cash your war saving
stamps and certificates in full, you can de-
posit them with the postoffice any day now
for collection, or turn them in to your bank
on or after JAM l. If you have, say, $25
of maturing war savings certificates, you
can exchange them for new $25 treasury
certificate maturing Jan. l, 1928, and get
$3.50 cash to boot. And so on, in large
quantities. The new certificates will be rs
sued in denominations of S25, 500 and
$1,000 each. No Individual can get more
than $4,000 worth of these certificates.
