Of course, you are going to buy a

jelly for your nice fat turkey.
TtHE last call for Christmas
shopping has been sounded.
If you do not get through to-
day there is every possibility that
you will not tomorrow. 1t is these
last-minute gifts for men that are
the puzzlers, but while the custom

ITAVE you ever been invited to
spend a pleasant evening and
been bored to death? Have
you ever seen a lot of young people
fidget and yawn and sit glum as
stone images. when they really
wanted to have a good time? If so
you will recall that the root of the
trouble was the lack, of a piano. In
these days when music plays such a
large part in our lives, when CON
munity singing has cured the shyest

voice, a piano is a necessity. C. j.
Hoppe & Son, ,1117-19 Chestnut
street, sell the celebrated Hoppe,
Mason & Hamlin and Weber Up
right pianos, and you still have time
to buy n of these excellent instru-
ments before your Christmas party,
and some new Victor Records, of
which they have a good selection.
'TtHE Old Year has almost
@eached its allotted span of
life, and so have all the diaries
n calendars. Only eight DAYS
more can they be used, then out, they
go to make room for those of 1919.
And who would ever buy a new one
for themselves when they hope to
get a gift from A. Pomerantz &, Co.,
1870 Chestnut street. Here they are
more than mere slips of paper with
oates stamped on. Every known de-

petual and business calendars and
beautiful engagement calendars for
men or women, in leather or silk, and
diaries galore. How would you like
a combination Desk Clock, paper
weight and calendar or a Handy
Memorandum Desk Calendar on q
heavy plate-glass base, neatly in
deXed, with gold edges, and place on
top for the monogram?

Il told, but that is not always true,
for the hostess or housewife
who owns a percolator takes great
pride in it, yet never 'falls down" on
her coffee. But whether electric or
alcohol, the percolator must be a
good one, and to get Christmas pres
ents in that line no place is better
than the House Furnishing Store of
j. Franklin Miller, 1919 Chestnut
street. The Universal Percolators
are made in several patterns, the
tall Colonial urns, huted or plain,
with ebony handles, being more deco
