ing prices are modest.
Any article descriptive of big store
W0uld be incomplete and disappointing to
the prospective buyer without some specific
mention of the things applicable for a
present. There Is such countless number
at the Palais Royal that 1t becomes a diff
cult undertaking to Gull without doing
some department an injustice. One can
not help noticing the book department and
the excellence of the supply. There are
books for all tastes. Fairy stories for the
little ones, romance for the girls. novels
of adventure for the boys and heavy read
ing for the literary man. The latest book
of fiction is yours for 80 cents at the Palals
Royal.
And what a chance YOU have of making
yourself IA present indirectly in the single
piece furniture department. If mar
ried woman needs a particular piece of
furniture for her house she should go to
the Palais Royal and buy just the thing
and make her husband present of 1t. He
will use it for a week or two; then the wo-
mans chance comes to remove 1t to the
parlor or other room for which it was in
tended. The only way husbands can get
even Is to purchase one of those beautiful
silk dress patterns containing twelve yards
for SlO6S. His wife will think it cost $50
1t looks to be worth every cent of 1t. To
get one of these. however. you must go
between the hours Of and IL am. and e
and pm
The exclamation of youngster this
morning in the toy department is a good
description Of that branch. He said:
Mamma. is dis where Santa Claus lives?"
Yes, this is the place." answered the
mother.
You could not blame either the child for
the query nor the mother for the answer.
1t is indeed the patron saints headquarters.
and the thousands of beautiful toys that
will delight thousands of little ones In
Washington will come from the Palais
Royal.
There are things enough In the basement
to make any housewives heart glad. This
is where the household goods are stored,
and there is nothing in that line missing
from the stock. Dinner sets in endless va
ricty cut glass in every design, kitchen
utensls-in fact, there is nothing from the
basement to the attic of a house that cam
not be found here.
1t is really worth a trip from Baltimore
to see the big doll department. There are
dolls In rubber. china and French kid.
Some are undressed, others sporting silks
and satins There are white and black
dolls, dolls with real hair, and baby car
riages to wheel them about in; beds for
them to sleep In and furniture for the doll
house Some of the dolls talk. too.
Mr.. Lsner, after his recent visit to
Paris decided to give his store another de-
partment. 1t was to be known as the ''art
, store" Here may be found all the latest
copies of famous pictures, handsomely
framed at prices within the reach Of all.
There is no excuse for not having a beau
full home with such profusion of ar
tistic adornments to select from:
The dainty linens, beautiful aprons,
gloves, hosiery, rugs, jewelry and the thou
sands of other things are all entitled to a
notice, but after all one finds himself
Iamentably weak in his descriptive powers
in even an attempt to outline the beauties
of the Palais Royal Just take few min
utes and look over the stock. 1t will re-
pay you.
