necessary to move into new and
larger quarters at S00-30S Chestnut

This announcement will interest

are so widely known as promoters of
newspaper publicity. They began
business thirty-three years ago, with
two people and an annual business of
$4,000. They now have one hundred
and ninety employees, and have for
years done the largest advertising
business in the world. The difference
between then and now is, they saw

Graceful Draperies.

The mirrored gagras, the pictur-
esque skirts of the East Indian women,
make a graceful drapery. One can
buy the genuine skirts that have been
worn by the natives, but not, of
course, so old that they have grown
dingy or faded. Oddly enough, the
skirts are all a-shimmer with squares
OF mirror inset, a relic of the crude
decorative instinct of half civilization.
There is peculiar fascination in
adopting, now and then, one of the
unguided customs of barbarity. The
fascination grows, too, if the element
OF the picturesque crops out. The
phulkorries are shoulder shawls worn
quantity over the shoulders of the East
indian women, and these shawls are
used for graceful drapery to fill an
empty looking spot in the nook.
Such a nook with the odd draperies
and equipment named, valuable be-
cause they are genuine importations
from the Orient, would approximate an
expenditure of modest amount. One
may make lifetime hobby of adding
to Its treasures, and eventually an
enthusiast may make its extravaganza
run into the hundreds.

Chop suey and Chow Meln.

Shop suey, Chinatown's favorite dish
with Americans, can reacn perfection
only in the Chinese kitchen, but
counterfeit enough like the original to
suit the average Occidental taste can
emanate from the American chatting
dish or frying pan. Chinese gentle
man who often entertains his Ameri-
can friends with the savory dish gives
these directions for preparing it: Put
into the pan enough peanut oil to
molsten 1t and cook a few narrow
strips of fat pork without browning
them. Add an onion, also cut to fine
strips, little water, and some bean
and mushroom sauces. Boil ten min
utes. Then add mushrooms cut into
small pieces, sliced water nuts. sprout-
ed beans, and celery and bamboo emf
fine. These should all be in about
equal proportions. Stir In a Glove of
chopped garlic, salt and pepper, and
cook until all are tender; this will re-
quire only few minutes. Butter or
olive oil might be substituted for the
peanut oil and pork.
Chow mein-in English fried noodles
lis one of the Chinese dishes which
the most conservative American dinNr
usually likes. The noodle paste, made
of flour and egg, is cut into the mar
rowest strips and fried in deep fat. 1t
comes to the table an attractive, gold
en-brown heap, with the top delicately
garnished with strips of green garlic
and onion cooked in oil until they are
clear, and over them is lightly ar
ranged layer of boiled ham and the
white meat of chicken, also in tiny
strips.

his recorded observations on living

discovered on Folly island, near Char

Crimson Clover for Hats.

Find Old British Frlaate.

The frigate Arson of the British
navy, which was lost in 1907, has been
discovered lying in four fathoms of
water off Love Bar. Penance, Lands
End. Seven brass and several iron
guns were found on deck, and with
the exception of the top hamper the
ship is intact. The discovery was due
to some fishermen, who pointed out a
dark object under water to CAPTAIN
Anderson OF the steamer Greencastle.
The Arson took part in Rodney's vic
tory over the French in 1882, of the
West Indies, destroyed ten Spanish
gun-boats and a battery in 1906, and in
1907 was at the capture of the Island
OF Curacao, off Venezuela. The old
vessel is believed to have had a large
consignment of doubloons on board.

ing the great personal strength with
which he is gifted. One of the Span
ish-American war veterans, who had
all but lost the power of walking,

standing on the front steps. Dewey
invited him in, but the disabled man
looked doubtfully at the steps, seeing
which the admiral reached into the

carried him up the steps and into the

Der of large, roomy houses va

this want of small houses a de
cided drawback. Ii dozen or
