A mems furnishing firm in F street,
near the corner Of Fourteenth, is ex-
hibiting some very swagger polo coats
for women. These are shown in cream
or tan solid colors or in a combina-
ton OF diagonal weaves in two tones.
The new coats are all the rage now
and are variously priced.
The latest thing for wear with even
ing dress is a high shoe of kid or
velvet instead OF the familiar slipper.
A Nsell-known firm OF shoe dealers in
the Avenue, near Tenth street. whose
name is known far and wide, is show
ing some novelties of this kind just
now. The boots are made all OF one
piece Of velvet OF kid. only the fly for
the buttOnhOles being set on. The
velvsts appear in the popular cloth OF
gold. black. and ceTise shades. with
pearl buttons of the same color. The
chantecler Is a bright scarlet shoe Of
kid. also having buttons OF pearl 10
match. Any OF the new styles may be
had for 81 a pair.
While trying TO decide what will be
suitable TO give ones relatives OF
friends at the holiday season. why not
visit a well-known jewelry establish
ment in Pennsylvania avenue near
street and look over its nov
city department on the second floor?
Here many new ideas may be gath
cred from the large display Of attrac-
tive gift offerings in silver, many of
them priced at very reasonable fig
ures. For a masculine friend l would
suggest a leather case containing d
neat rule and spirit level with a pen
ell. all OF silver, which may be pur-
chased for $3.50. The case is fiat and
can be carried in the coat or vest
pocket. 1t seems TO me that almost
any man would welcome a gift of this
character. Another article which would
be appreciated by the man who smokes
a pipe, is a case IN which is found
pipe cleaner. with a knife and
a pencil included. In engraved sill
