! land / thought I wanted an Edison,
| but when we go to q store where
they sell the Columbia, l hear its
praises, and when we go where they
sell Victors, hear their merits, and
now l am so undecided that l don't
know what to do" 1 suggested that
she go to the J. III. Troup Music
House, IA s. Market Square, where
she can hear all three machines, and
get a perfectly unprejudiced opinion,
and besides this one has the advant-
age, at Troups, of buying from a
house of unquestionable reliability,
who Sc large volume of business makes

most favorable terms.
THE TRUE CHRISTMAS
In the hurry and hustle of Xmas
with an x, with its tendency to mer-
cenary gift-buying, we are apt to lose
sight of its true significance, but really
nothing is more appropriate for a gift
at this time, than the book which
tells the story of Christmas, - the
Bible. The Cotterel Store, 8 n. Mar
ket Square. offers an assortment Of
Bibles which is best described by the
single word, - complete. There are
Testaments, and Bibles, annotated
and referenced, in bindings of various
grades, special editions for teachers
and students, illustrated Bibles, large
type and small type, - in fact every
! thing that anyone could want and
prices begin at soc.
THOSE LADIES IN GRAY"
1t may be because popular
heroine as ''the lady in gray"
or say that "a dainty shoe of
gray suede peeped from beneath the
skirt of the charming lady in the
Pullman across the way" but some-
how there is an indescribable and
somewhat romantic charm about gray
suede shoes, and the stunning pair
just shown in the Walk-Over Boot
! Shop, 226 Market street. are sufficient
to create their own romance. They are
a lace boot, cut on smartest lines,
extra high with a graceful curve at
the top. and finished with the daint-
| lest of French heels. They are Just
the sort of shoes to give distinction
to any costume, and they sell for just
$1,000.
THE GIFT FOR A DOLLAR
You will find the most attractive
holiday suggestions at Astrichs,
Fourth and Market street in the way
of useful articles of wearing apparel
designed so attractiVely that they are
just the thing for Christmas giving
For instance they are Offering an as
Dresden flowered design on black,
which is appropriate either for a styl-
ish young girl or a quietly dressed
elderly woman, for the design is con-
servative, yet stylish and pretty, and
these petticoats cost just CSC. Then,
too, there is another style in black
with a ruffle of the flowered material,
which is equally pretty and sells at
the same price.
| WHEN IN DOUBT
when in doubt. give a photo
graph is a pretty good rule for
Christmas, for whether the gift is for
someone who has nothing or some
one who has everything, if the some
one' is a friend of yours, a photo
graph will bring more pleasure than
any other gift, and surely nothing
better expresses the spirit of Christ
mas the spirit of thoughtful
friendship, free from all taints of
things mercenary - than a photo
graph. I saw some beautiful pic
lures at the Roshon Studio, N. Mar
ket Square, with delicate shadings
and natural pleasant expressions, all
beautifully mounted and yet these
| photographs are very inexpensive
ranging in price from $500 a dozen
lup.
