Evidence of Thriving Burs2os at Shen
Bros. and Substantial REASONS for it,
No establishment in Wheeling has
this season given better evidences of the
presence of general prosperity that the
fine new jewelry store OF Shelf Bros,
Main and Eleventh streets. The enter
prising firm is this year doing trade
largely in excess of any previous twelve
months in its history and anticipates
that it will increase its sales at least 90
per cent. over last year.
Shelf Bros. are making a speciality of
watches and diamonds this season, and
are offering beyond question some very
great bargains. With their usual
'shrewdness they made very large pur-
chases of watches and diamonds during
the early summer. when prices were
depressed and many large stores were
being sacrificed. Their buyer had the
pick Of the eastern market and bought
for cash. AS result Shelf Bros. are
to-day able to sell watches and dia-
monds as cheap as other jewelers. can
buy them. They bought right and are
selling right, and these two facts speak
volumes. The high reputation Of this
firm is, moreover, back of every article
sold by them, and is substantial
guarantee that the purchaser is getting
full value for his money. Their watch
and diamond bargains cover the very
greatest variety and afford the choicest
selection. What can make a more ap
propriate Christmas gift than a fine
watch or diamond? and Shelf Bros. can
furnish either on the most reasonable
terms. In addition to watch and dia-
mond specialties, Shelf Bros. carry an
.unequalled line of general jewelry and
ct prices that are revelations to the
closest buyers

The POMpadour Revived.

Again tho pompadour coiffnre is the
rage in Paris. Some ventnrcsomc spirit
started the fashion, it was promptly
taken up by the foremost Parisians, and
to Americans the fact that the Countess
Castellane Immediately adopted it will
be an excellent guarantee for it's prompt
success in America. The revival of this
stately coiffurc shows beyond a doubt
that the effort to revive fringcs and
frizzes has been a complete failure.
Women who have been actively on
gagged in initiating the Gibson girl for
the past few years cannot so abruptly
relinquish the satisfaction of displaying
their pretty white forehcads. And if
they must give up the part which has
does not follow that they need over
shadow their eyes by the old-timc curly
bang. The pompadour has been offered
as a compromise and accepted.
This does not mean, however, that the
correctly ~coiffured maiden's curling
tongs have accompanied her frizz in it's
rapid descent from the height of fashion.
beauty or Of style than it ever was, and
the hair which goes to form the pompa-
dour must be gently but firmly waved.
In fact. the desired effect can be OBJ
tanned only by an elaborate process.
AS the first step of all, the hair, both
back and front, must be treated till it
is soft and wayy in it's entire length.
Then the front locks, which should be
about one-half the length of the back
hair, should be separated and two semi
circular rats carefully inserted under
them. Bring the hair gently back over
these, join It with the back hair, which
is most fashionably arranged in the shape
of a bun, and the pompadour is achieved.
One distinctive feature of the present
day pompadour is that 1t must be sup
plemented by two tiny little curls direct
~ over the temples. The Importance of
their size. and the Philadelphia women
who are Fastening to adopt this very
newest fancy must not forget the two
very essential little love locks.-P hiladel-
