Holiday shopper.

=
Avisit to the store of S. Mitchell,
2l9 Market street yesterday, was a
great surprise. Such display OF
Holiday Goods, suitable for gifts
for young and old, we had not ex.
pected to see in this city. The
store was packed, not only with
goods, butt was regular bee hive
OF people. On the first counter,
right side, my special attention was
called to the display of Handker-
chiefs; such line and prices had
never seen before; beautiful hand
kerchiefs were priced as low as Sc.
each and initial handkerchiefs in
fancy boxes, as low as ACC. per box
Of 4 dozen. Through the centre
on tables, was displayed the Fancy
Articles, such as fancy china wear
with handsome decorations, then
celluloid cases with satin and silk
Innings, containing brush, comb and
mirror, shaving materials, manicure,
handkerchief and glove boxes, col
lar and cuff boxes, jewelry boxes,
etc. Then came Sterling Silver
Novelties. some in boxes. made-up
in sets, and others single, such as
button hooks, files, shoe horns, hair
curriers', puff boxes, and hundreds
of other articles.
The display of Dolls was another
OF great interest. This house has
always been known tor their extern
sive doll display, but this year!
Well, l won't say. See it for your
self. On the other side, / found
great quantities of Ladies' and
Childrens Jackets and Capes, a
large assortment OF furs and milli-
merry, umbrellas, gloves, iewelry,
pocket books, underwear, ribbons.
fancy knit fascir ators, children's
silk and velvet hats, table linens, :
fancy covers, Irish Point goods, etc.
Every body was busy and the visit
was a pleasure. Iwould recommend
everybody to give them call.
