: JonF Nn1GuT.-The name Of John Wright has
become ahoueeho1d phrasc at this season Of the
year, from the pleasing and irresistible methods
he has madc his OWL, to be literally Tin the
uouths Of the people. All the year round his
restaurant at 80 South Clark street. is the resort
Of all good livers, and those fond OF the fruits Of
dainty cuitnc and choiee larder, while his front
salee1oom Is perpetual and perfect hive Of
sWeets, in its confectionery stores. These al
make John W1ght'B laurels bloom every month in
tho Jear. But wAan the holiday and party season
opens, he enters On winter campaign among
Chicago homes. Ps.ty-goers aro tzniliar with the
loaded tables, attentive walters, which make
WriGhtb t1iumphs on party occasions Christmas
tees without his graceful French Warcs and tiny
taEert, are barren in the eyes Of the little ones,
Were VIC to write Wright right. nc should Wright
go right to Wright's, II your preparations for the
Holidays arc incomplete.
