The Distinction of Owning the Best of Every- thing HEN you buy a Sonora you know that you are getting “The Highest Class Talking Ma- chine in the World,” the instrument which won the highest score for tone quality at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. THE OASTRUMENT OF QUALITY onot CLEAR as @ ertt HIS phonograph has attained its great suc- cess because it is built around a principle of “the best of everything” The motor, for instance, is specially made in Switzerland (the home for generations of expert musical insiru- ment manufacturers), and runs about twice as long as the motor of any instrument sold at the same price, The “bulge” effect of the splen- did cabinet is a patented Sonora feature, as are the method of ione control, the automatic stop, the motor meter, the envelope filing system, etc. There is a marvellous richness, depth, and clearness. to the Sonora tone irrespective of the sound volume—whether it be forte or pia- nissimo—that distinguishes it from all other phonographs. Hear the Sonora and it will tell its own story better than can words. Be sure tohear it before you buy. To own a Sonora is an enviable distinction. Every machine guaranteed for one year.

HER MISTAKE The Latest Books (Continued from page 724) signals, and so on. Its purpose is to bridge the gap between technical knowl- edge and the ordinary understanding. ARGARET DELAND, in “ The Ris- ing Tide” (Harpers, $1.35), has made a delightful contribution to the cause of peace by presenting the funny side of the “modern woman” to us in such a way that pros, antis and fence- dwellers should all be able, in reading it, to laugh together in temporary under- standing and amity. One didn't know that Mrs. Deland had hidden anywhere about her the ability to turn her sane and sympathetic observation to the uses of such clarifying laughter as that evoked by the history of this latest of the family of ugly ducklings, Frederica Payton, But the result ig not only a good satire and a good story, but makes, joy- ously, for chastened dogmatism and re- laxed bitterness. S a bit of something sweet to finish off this mixed menu, there is Walter Pitchard Eaton's “* The Bird-House Man” (Doubleday, Page, $1.35). The hero is a “character in a New England village —a lecturer and writer on birds, a build- er of bird houses, receiver-general of the community's confidences and match- maker in ordinary to the un-mated of the neighborhood. Each chapter of the book gives the history of one of his “jobs "—they range from elaborated anecdotes to short stories of sorts—and may be regarded for our present purpose as nice little cakes, mixed with a light hand, flavored with New England ex- tract, and iced with sentiment. Don't eat too many of them at once. J. B. Kerfoot. WL CAFFRCY, How to Buy Diamonds at Importers’ Prices Frank N. Nathan Company have been leading Diamond Importers over 27 years.
