Santa Claus Starts on Trip;
Sends Advance Shipment
Wilmington Stores Show Xmas Gifts,
Useful Presents for All the
Family.
By Miss Elizabeth Wlnslow Curney

BY Miss Elizabeth WinslOw Gurney.
Handkerchiefs, soap and sUspenders,
done up in holly-sprigged boxes. and
crowds of people looking through the
whole store alphabet from applc-cor-
ers to toy zebras, show that Christmas
shopping, 1911, has begun In earnest.
Never has there been a year when the
Christmas goods we're SO attractive.
A novel solution may be found at
Lippincott's for that eXasperating
problem what to give a man, in the
ash-trays. candle-sticks, or cigar
holders of Incas brass. The brass it.
self has a pleasing smoothness of I'm
ish, and a greenish tinge that is ad-
icentUated in the inlaid green and
brass design of curious totem-pole
birds, animals, and men, that were
favored by the artists Of the lncas,
who were the ancient inhabitants of
Peru. In addition to their graceful
shape, their individuality makes the
brass pieces commendable.

SO quaint and rich in design and
material are the imported handbags
at Kennard's that the makers must
have ransacked the European art
museums and taken ideas from the
bags carried by queens and court
ladies of luxurious palaces. Most of
them have the prevalent fringe, and
the long silk cord. and they are work
ed in floral and conventional patterns
of gold and silver thread, or glittering
beads One bag of Irish lace was lined
with colored silk which brought ont

Very cunning is the baby's trunk at
Conners' leather store. There are
hangers fastened to the trunk TO keer

HINTS BY MAY MANTON
a SMART GOWN or
SILK AND VELVET


Silk and velvet are among the lafest
and most fashionable materials OF
the winter and they combine to mako
strikingly beautiful costumes. This
ono Is new and smart, graceful and in
every way attractive. The body shows
the very latest sleeves that are made
in kimono style, but separate from
the main portion and seWed to big
armholes. The portions are overlap
ped also and the guimpe beneath is
faced with velvet to form V-shaped
trimmings and with lace to form the
yoke. The skirt Is made in three
pieces. The tunic effect is obtained
by the use Of the shaped band which
is edged with fringe, and such treat
ment is greatly in vogue. In this
case the skirt is cut TO the high waist
line and that treatment is to be
recommended whenever IL is found
becoming. but both the high and the
natural waist lines are correct and
the wise woman chooses the one that
Is best adapted 10 her figure. Tho
combination Of materials is distinctive
and the gown one Of the sort that can
be used for many occasions. but no
description would be complete with
out the suggestion that the sleeves
can match the blouse, II liked. aud tho
V-shaped portions the yolk, that is.
the entire blouse could be OF silk
with lace IN place of the velvet IA
the V-shaped openings The skirt
being simple three-piecc one can
be trimmed just az illustrated or left
plain, or IL can be finished In any
manner that may be liked, but FROM
the standpoint Of fashion nothing
better than the combination shown
could he suggested.

The wholesale men say there is
such a demand for corduroy this wiu-

make the goods fast enough. At

They are in a dark color. simply, but
modishly made. and are in very good
taste for daily wear.
