known as the place where a sterling good
shoe can be obtained at very modest fig

store this Xmas has been thronged.
There is no need of wasting any time
wondering where on earth got this cold
after the days spent in the crush of the
crowded heated stores, with coats and
wraps on and then emerging into the sud-
den chill of the outside air. The best thing
to do is to take the cold under treatment.
and one way of preventing its developing
into something serious is to get bottle of
Terraline and take the contents as directed.
After all the extra walking that people
do at Christmas time, ladies especially
should not be surprised to find that the
soles of their shoes are much thinner; that
the toes of the shoes are shabby and
scratched from being stepped upon in the
crowded stores and cars Then is the time
to go to Havenner & Davis 92S street,
who are selling at very low prices S2f, ,OUe
worth of shoes bought at the marshal's
sale.
The collar and cuff question, that is, the
question of laundering them, is an import
ant one. What man does not know the
annoyance cause by the rasping of frayed
and roughened edge Of collar upon the
neck? That is caused very often by the

ronth. One of the celebrated Crawford
wheels will fill the bill, and Mr.. E. l..
Whitford, the sole agent for them here,
has good stock on hand in his rooms over
the Center market.
"Gloveopolis" is the unique name some
bright woman has styled the Louvre Glove
Co.'S store on F street. And surely the
concern deserves the title If a stock of
gloves that comprises every notion of the
worlds greatest glove-makers counts for
anything. Much Of the Louvre's popularity
is due to the low prices of everything they
SELL
The basement of Chas Baums attractive
department store, 416 7th street, might be
aptly termed under present conditions "a
world of books" Many hundreds Of at
tractive volumes tempt the book lover to
spend lavishly. All the new and favorlte
writer's of fiction and poetry are represent
ed, attractively bound, the prices but little
above actual cost-far cheaper than in any
other store. speciality has been made of
Xmas 'gift books" Here is an almost
endless choice-fairy lore for the little ones,
standard works for their elders; each the
best of their kind.
There is nothing that is more suitable
for Christmas remembrance than hand
some piece of Jewery, and one of the nov
elites to be seen this year is the French
crystal jewelry, which possesses fire and
brilliancy like the finest diamonds. An ex-
hibition of this jewelry, together with fine

Although the work contracted for by Mr..
Thomas w. Smith was thought to be ir-
reparably set back when the fire destroyed
his large planning mill at Capitol Park last
month. he has furnished everything on
every contract he entered into on time, and
has not only kept up to the articles Of

every day, and Mr.. Smith expects to make
this his permanent headquarters for work
of this description.
