CHRISTMAS CHAT

CfdRlSIMAS Sti<Al
"The whole world is on short ra-
TONS" the papers tell us, and grocerS
are reporting an alarming scarcity OF
such needed foods as peas, corn and
tomatoes. The Studebaker store,
(noW owned by Mr.. George Barnes),
Second street at the crossing or state,
is fortunate however in having d large
supply of these canned goods on hand,
in the unexcelled Fernden brand,
which they are still able to sell at
current prices. The Ferndell corn
is the sweet kind grown in Maine, and
packed in that State by special fac
tory of the Ferndell company, - and
of course, everyone knows how DIFF
ficult it is to get Maine corn this year.
The Ferndell tomatoes are free from
acid and almost entirely free from
seeds, packed in lacquered cans, as
are all the Ferndell products. The
delicious peas may be had in either
the tiny size or in the big sweet tele-
phone peas.
BRILLIANT JEWELS
When 1 saw the gorgeous jewels
displayed by the H. c. Claster Jewelry
Shop, 302 Market street, 1 felt as
though 1 had taken a trip to fairy
land of brilliance for the exquisite
lavallieres, bracelets, rings and pins
are a delight to the eye. 1 noticed
Dartlcularly one PIN WIFI IOW VI
diamonds of graduated size extending
along horizontally, while a net work
of platinum lavishly set with small
diamonds makes q brilliant back
ground. The new dull finish of the
platinum, combined with the radiance
of perfect white diamonds makes
pin of rare distinction, and while 1t is
quite natural to expect to find jewelry
iof this character at CASTERS, the
moderate prices asked are a delight
full surprise for this class of jewelry
CHRISTMAS FOR THE BOYS
OF course the boys will want Santa
CLAUS to stop at the boys department
of Doutrichs, 304 Market street, for
there are so many things shown
there that boys will want for Christ
mas, - overcoats,- mackinaws, shirt
waists, neckwear, underwear, hand
kerchiefS, gloves - and especially
those big fringed boy scout gloves.
This department of Doutrichs is COM
paratively new, but it seems to be
a very popular retreat for boys and
their mothers, for it is certainly most
conveniently located, and is so quiet
and restful that it is always a pleas
ant place in which to select all kinds
of clothes for boys. The boys like
1t too. because they can always find
Just what they want at the price
mother can best afford to pay, and
Doutrich clothes are just what all the
other good fellows" are wearing.
DAINTY GIFT APRONS
Nothing gave me more pleasure last
Christmas than the dear little white
apron that Katharine gave me, and
she told me that it came from the
Woman's Exchange, Third street at
Herr, so / went there this year in
search Of some like it to give my
friends, and 1 was delighted with the
assortment of new and dainty aprons
that 1 found there. There were dozens
of different styles, and prices range
from 25c to s1.25, each seeming
prettier than the last. There are
clean-looking barred materials with
just bit of embroidery. = the kind
that come out of the tub looking Just
as fresh and pretty as new, - others
with fine lace, and pert little bows of
pink or blue ribbon, and besides
these, there are most attractive
stamped aprons to be embroidered
with hand work.
TO SOLVE A DOUBTFUL
QUESTION
