GEORGE MEREDITH makes Mb charming Irish heroin, Diana of tha Crossways, (ay of men that, while many have progressed In passing Point Seraglio, few have succeeded la rounding Cape Turk. x Of course, Diana Inferred that the modern man had bU capacity to love conserved down to one object, but over that object he kept guard with ail a Turk's dominant monopoly. What would ou think of the Turk In a man that asserts Itself even against the camera? There is now in our midst a beautiful guest that hasn't a photograph of herself to her name. Worse, she dare not alt for a photographer. She is pretty, charming and gracious; but the veil of the orient is fever her face so far as Image making Is concerned. "No, no, no! I'm not even to be snap-shotted;" she cMps In alarm at the suggestion; my husband would be sure to find It out. And then! I Ju&t believe he would shoot over It." Here is Diana's Turk, purs and simple. True, he lets the object of bis devotion out Into the world. But he has found a way to veil her, hold ing ber his own even at longest distance.

On this extra trip we were able to pick up many novelties for this Department as weL Ours Is the only store In the city that operates a toy department the year round. In quantity and variety our toy department on the fourth floor will be even stronger than ever. In nearly every line we secured mer chandise wonders this trip.
