New Carpets
For Fall

New CarDefs I1olQ rcCepuon
-, here, mostly ex-
TOT ran elusive designs.
Elegant color-blends give tone to |
these fine weaves.
Opening Daysl With first choice
of the loom productions, it is safe to
say that the exclusive designs we
show are the triumphs of designers
and weavers.
Every considerable carpet seller is
given control of certain patterns. III
is simply the unwritten law of trade
that gives the store with greatest out
let the first selection. That is worth
much to the furnisher of artistic
taste-too much to miss. Carpet
grades count for considerable-but
a high grade may be in an old
fashioned style, and well-nigh worth
less in many schemes of furnishing.
This necessarily large buying
brings some very decisive economies
for instance
Twenty-Five entirely new designs
of ADMINISTER CARPET, of the
regular and fixed SIPS quality, are
offered at ONE DOLLAR a yard.
The colorings and designs are varied
enough to give proper carpet for
any room in the house.
AT the end of seasons produc-
ton the weaver of our best MO-
QUETTE CARPETS puts the yarns
ne has left into the looms and lets
color run riot. The result is min
gled carpet of dollar goodness. The
price is SOC. It is for halls ard
stairs, chiefly; though bordered har-
moniously quite pretty. room effects
are obtained. The borders must be
chosen from the regular lines.
More Of the Persian Wilton Rugs
have come ~ 26x54 inches; the
price 81; the effects Oriental. They
are made of iute, which lends itself
to strong color blends.

The changes wrought by electric

water works for Georgetown, the Della.
ware Democrat thus summarizes:
milford already has electric lights
and Dover is preparing to put them in.
With Milton, Lewes, and perhaps other
towns in this county supplied with
them, the county seat should not be
allowed to go without them. We should
keep UP in the march of improvement
and not allow our sister towns to get
ahead of us. There was a time whom
they were Injuries, but that is now
past. Once water works were not to
be thought of for town of this size,
now we think it is the part of economy
to have Them. So with the electric
system Of lighting. In the long ago
tallow candles were thought to be good
enough; these were succeeded by
different kinds of burning fluid, and
in our case the coal oil, gas being too
expensive. The time has now come
for electricity to do its work. Let us
seize the opportunity afforded US and
keep up with the procession. y

our forehanded gathering and impor-
tant factory connections can make it.
Women's Desks are fourth to a

Parlor Furniture is a fourth to a

Fancy pieces Of Furniture are a

The choosing is as fine as ever
thanks to constant arrivals. Butt
we've passed the pinnacle of receipts,
and each day now is apt to see the
last of some particular lots.
As to the desks--one-fourth Of
the years selling of women's desks
is done in the four weeks before
Christmas-at least that is our ex.
perience, and gathering facts from
the factory folks, we find that the
chief desk selling Of the country is
done here.
By that time, to do our best,
desks will need to fetch well on to
half as much again as we mark them
today-which means a rise from
even the present full prices. We dc

now for Christmas delivery, but YOU

cannot conquer the Filipinos because
the country and Congress will not give
the President the money necessary to
