AS l hurried into the Doutrich Store
for Men, 304 Market street, and made
straight for the sweater department
where | had planned to make several
purchases. | stood amazed, for behind
counters heaped with sweaters six
statesmen were working just as fast as
they could, showing sweaters, writing
checks, and wrapping the goods in the
attractive boxes which this store gives
with every holiday purchase. L al
most thought [ was in a factory, for
the enormous sweater business which
this store has the reputation of doing
would seem marvellous, if shoppers
did not know that at this store they
get service, selection and values which
are unsurpassed. In fact, | have
found Doutrichs don't do anything
that they can't do right, and perhaps
that is the reason their sweater bus
mess is so large.
ARTISTIC GIFTS
one of the artistic bowls offered at
the Berryhill Shop, Second street at
the crossing of Locust, has the lovely
rose and gold colorings which is seen
sometimes in limpid water when
sparkling sunshine falls across it,
and this is placed on Il beautifully
designed urn of black enameled pot
terry, which strikingly enhances its
delicate charm. The new vases and
bowls in black some decorated in
pink and white, and some quite plain
to give perfect setting for bril-
liant Christmas flowers, others in
woodland green's and browns, others
in classical designs and colorings offer
wealth of suggestions for Christmas
giving, and the prices range from
soc to $1,000.
A NEW GIFT IDEA
Something quite new which would
make a beautiful and most acceptable
gift for either man or woman is shown
at the II. G. Claster Jewelry Shop, 500
Market street, in the exquisite gift
boxes in which Il sterling silver foun-
tain pen, silver pencil and knife,
all hand-engravcd in the same de-
sign, are placed on softly-colored silk
These sets are offered in several diff
ferent. designs and their beauty makes
them just the thing for Christmas CIV
ing. For women, the dainty sets of
silver bodllins, attractively boxed,
and offered by this same shop, are
very clever gifts, and are very mex
pensive.
IN DELICATE PINK
In house beautifully decorated
with Christmas green's a tall candle
of delicate pink tint, burning at each
window would give a Xmas-like touch
VI BOou Cneef, ana Stlll be more orig
inal than the usual deep colorings.
This color scheme is suggested at the
Studebaker Grocery Store, (now own
ed by Mr. George Barnes) Second
street at the crossing of State, where
candles of every sort, in pastelle
shades, and Christmas colors, tall and
short round and square are shown, as
well as the fragrant bayberry candles.
For the table Il Bellefonte basket in
green shaded to pink, and filled with
mistletoe, surrounded by four tall
Renaissance candles in pink would
be most charming.
WRITING SETS OF LEATHER
There may be a scarcity of feathers
this year, but one would never i'm
agine it after seeing the display of
Christmas gifts of leather offered at
CotterePs, n. Market Square, for
never have L seen more attractive
things. There are writing sets in dull
green leather in mottled effect, lined
in buff and fitted with all the needed
accessories, pad, address book, stamp
book, &c, - lovely gift-like sets in
mauVe. rose and pearl gray, and sub
stantial sets for men in black feathers,
While the gay cretonne-coVered writ
ing sets are charming novelty This
store also shows some very pretty
desk pads for ladies, with genuine
leather corners, for just $1.0O.
