"Sons and Daughters of Liberty"
(Copyright Applied For.)
Men and Women of Philadelphia, America's quickest and
strongest
Answer to Germany
will be a. tremendous increase of new subscriptions to the Liberty
Bonds today, and this week.
A broadside of citizenship loads our subscription ships, while
the hrnnHsides that the American Armv and the Allies are deliver-
. . .
mg will have the force of
An Electric Powerhouse
Probably none of us have gone to the limit in what we have
already done. Let us try hard to do it today and this week.
Let no man shift the job on others, which, under the circum
stances, he should do himself.
In point of fact, everything seems to sink into insignificance
except short, sharp, whole-hearted, thoroughly devoted, organ
ized attacks upon the city and people of Philadelphia to double
their "subscriptions if at all possible, and for every man to get
every other man to do the same thing, and keep the cables hot
with the way the people are bringing in the money, and enlisting
the men to finish the work that General Pershing has in hand.

Fashionable But
Not Expensive
You've reallv no idea of
the wide number and va
riety of neckpieces the
furriers have fashioned
this year, till you've seen
the collection in the Fur
Salons.
Smart little throw ties,
furry shawl collars, small
cape effects, high collars
in fact, just such at
tractive little pieces that
so manv women want to
wear with suits or gowns.
Sable squirrel, nutria,
Hudson seal (dyed musk
rat), natural squirrel,
mole, raccoon and taupe
squirrel are the good furs
most often used for these
pieces.
And though the pelts
arc always of fine qual
ity, the skins carefully se
lected and as carefully
made up, the prices are
surprisingly moderate.

Handsomely to the Great Display and
Sale of Oriental Rugs
'The Chinese have long been masters
of the art of rug weaving. Their rugs
arc unique, individual and unmistak
able. But at least one characteristic of
Chinese art is lacking in them the
grotesque figures which occur in so
many other Chinese productions. Most
people do not regret this.
The trellis or fret is frequently used
as a ground for decorative devices.
Bats, butterflies, animal designs, all
of them symbolic, arc typical of Chi
nese designs, together with the lotus
and other floral decorations.
Yellows of a varying cast, tawny
golden or fawn, golden brown, pink,
salmon pink, taupe, blue are the colors
most frequently used.
This Chinese collection of ours is the
largest we have over had, and we can
say with confidence that the rugs arc
of good reliable quality and at remark
ably low prices.
No more interesting study in con
trasts can be imagined than to com
pare them with the Persian and
Caucasian pieces which arc here in
such wonderful choice.
