We made unusual purchases during the dull sum- mer season, when better skins could be bought for less. And workmanship, too, is better during the slack season. We are showing a marvelous selec- tion of new furs in styles such as are created by master crafts- men. The lines are graceful and our new models are tai- lored in chic fashions which mark them most individual and distinctive. We are allowing substantial concessions in prices on furs selected in August. You may select skins from our large assortment and have them tailored to suit your own particular requirements.

State St. OPEN ALL DAY SATURDAYS Rare and Beautiful Books and Pictures at Wightman Home Beauty brought from many a place in manv a form and harbored in a stately house built on the north shore more than half a century ago, makes of the home of Charles A. Wight- man, 1454 Maple avenue, Evanston, a place of rare dis- tinction. There from base- ment to roof the | great rooms with their high old-time ceilings and sunny bow windows, are priceless bits of beauty -- paintings, preeminently, and Toloff Photo 1 C. A. Wightman portraits, great can- vases and small ones; rich rugs and bronzes and brasses; a stately carved chair that has belonged to a queen; furniture carved from black oaks that grew in England on the estate of the family for which they were made, gorgeously upholster- | ed in crimson; tables of French mar- quetry exquisitely inlaid ; Spanish lustre and English porcelains, Chinese cloisonne and French enamels, minia- tures and marbles--everything choice, everything rare, everything precious. For only that which is choice is add ed to the collections of this connois- seur. The artistic perspicacity of a French-Dutch ancestry co-mingled with an English heritage of judicious taste has given Mr. Wightman impulse to collect from the far ends of the earth, back from the very beginnings of some things, down through the ages and of the moment. In supplement, as it might be, to the invaluable collection of paintings and prints he has brought together, Mr. Wightman has accumulated a fascinat- ing library of rare books. Scores of them fill numbers of bookcases in living rooms, book rooms and art rooms, upstairs and downstairs. Pon- derous volumes and tiny ones are there--many valuable and beautifully bound standard works of course--but in the majority the books are those which delight the art connoisseur. Numbers of them date back to the days when illustrations flourished in England and on the continent, when books were replete with prints--steel and copper engravings, aqua prints, vignettes and the like, and any one of the prints from a great many of the volumes would have a high sale price at the present time. Done for Royalty There are, for example, two volumes of pictured tours of the Seine and the Rhine, published for a subscription list of royal and prominent personages in 1821 in England, illustrated with su- perb aqua tints by Sauvan. Another volume, chiefly prints, depicts street scenes in Paris after the fall of Na- poleon, about 1622. Charming things they are, delightful of composition and gay hand coloring. Practically all the prints illustrating these old volumes are, of course, hand-colored. English outing prints in copious number illustrate the volume of "Rural Sports" by Daniel, one of the most interesting sets of books of the collec- tion which has an auction sale price of $600. The colored prints are by Alken and were made early in 1800, the golden age of illustration in Eng- land. The books are bound in scarlet levant with gold tooling. "Meister Miniaturen aus funf Jah- rhundtern" is a volume of fine color printing marvelously done, illustrating practically all the famous miniatures (Continued on Page 25)
