And blossoms they still seem when
seen in the beautiful Gift Baskets of
Fruits at Henry R. Hallowell &
Sons, Broad below Chestnut street,
where crisp and mellow apples,
golden oranges, juicy pears and long
clusters of deliciously favored
grapes, all of the finest and most
beautiful varieties, are tastefully ar
ranged in baskets of the rarest pat
terms. There are baskets and ham
pers of many sizes, shapes and
weaves; Chinese baskets finished in
single tones or decorated with bril-
liant Chinese designs, and split bam-
boo baskets, plain but equally as
attractive. Can you think of any
more appropriate way Of welcoming
the New Year than by giving a
basket Of fruit grown in the Old
Year?
PPORTUNITY, with a capital
o, is knocking at the door of
~ men who need Quitting in win
ter garments. For some it may be
only a silver opportunity, but for the
! thousands of men who are being
mustered out of Uncle Sans service
the general reduction in clothing at
William II. Wanamaker's, 1217-19
Chestnut street, will prove to be a
golden opportunity. Every article
has been taken from the regular
stock and greatly cut in price. Over
coats and listers, some of medium
weight, others of a heavier weight
| suitable for the winter weather yet
/ to come. A fine assortment of suits
| in smart fabrics and colorings, with
models adapted to different figures.
Shirts in cotton, silk and silk mix
lures; distinctive neckwear, and
many silk or wool mufliers.

purposes: to adorn the home, to

from the command Of the worship
ers to face toward Mecca during
prayer. The pointed end represents
the "Mihrab," or niche in the tenn
ple Of Mecca, where the Koran lis

them TO be cleanly. At Fritz 6
La Rue, 1922 Chestnut street, there
is variety of beautiful Prayer
Rugs. The soft-colored Bokharas
have the prayer design at one end

EANY Victory Parties and
vi Peace Dances have been
u planned for the night of the
3lst, for every one feels that the
New Year should be welcomed in a
manner befitting its importance.
Dozens of homes will be made happy
by the return of their boys, and to
make it CHEEKY for them on this and
many other nights music is a neces-
sity. At C. J. Hoppe & Sons,
1l17-19 Chestnut street, there are
three makes Of excellent pianos, the
Hoppe, the Mason & Hamlin and the
Weber, any one of which you would
be glad to own, but while making
up your mind which to choose get
new Victor Records there. Some of
the latest catchy and melodious
songs and plenty of splendid dance
records are what you need for that
New Years jollification.

Older people tell us that in
" their youth the New Year was
~ always white, and that sleigh
ing and skating parties were given
at Thanksgiving. Though our win
ters are later, the outdoor girl still
has an opportunity Of indulging in
these sports, and when doing SO
needs cozy, warm clothing. This
season scarfs of every description
are the rage, and at R. f. Devices,
1922 Chestnut street, there are the
pretty of prettiest for ladies and
girls. The imported camel's-hair
scarfs, with chic Tam caps to match,
are quite the neatest two-tone COM
binations have seen: delicate grays
and lavenders, browns and greens,
softened by the long fuzzy nap.
Other scarfs, lighter or heavier
weight, and close-titting Spencers,
or Sweaters, minus collars and belts,
to wear under suits are sold at the
same counter.

RELOCATING it to the background. II
would base that part of the peace
treaty, which has to do with the new
boundaries OF Germany and other
countries, on the principles set forth

Before President Wilson arrived

marked change of opinion. II Mr.

4 NY device that saves labor
" saves time; if it saves time it
saves money, and if it saves
money it must be efficient. That is
what the Loose Leaf Inventory Sys-
TENS, sold by A. Pomerantz & Co.,
1925 Chestnut street, do: save labor,
time and money. No up-to-date firm
should take 1919 inventory by the
old bOund-book method, where only
one clerk at time can work. The
Loose-Leaf System affords the great
est facility in listing, pricing and
extending. Any number of leaves
may be given out to a listing crew,
and as these are filled they are sent
to the office for pricing, thus en-
abling the price clerk to keep pace
with those who are listing. There
are forms and binders suited to dif-
ferent classifcations and depart
ments, and Pomerantz will mail free
sample forms.

NEW YEARS EVE, when you
- wait up to see the Old Year
out and the New one in, you
surely will not do so alone. You
may have but one chosen companion,
but no matter how congenial, hours
of waiting are always tedious, and
conversation will flag. But if you
have a glowing open fireplace to
flames leap and dance behind beau
tiful brass andirons or screen, if YOU
have plenty of logs in your shining
woodboX or tongs and poker to give
it an occasional stir, what matters
an hour or two of silence to "two
minds with single thought and two
hearts that beat as one"? And all
these fireplace accessories are at the
House Furnishing Store of J. Frank.

the Federal Child Labor Law was de-
eiared unconstitutional In June Of this
year.
In twenty-four States in which the

foe Children hstwssn fourteen and

10 the long working day (of nine,
ten and even eleven hours) has been
reported. ,..,~
| In the nine months the Federal
law was in operation inspection Of 6s6
factories and 20 mines, distributed
among IS States and the District Of
Columbia, were made by the officers
Of the Child Labor Division Of the
children's Bureau. Reports Of these
investigations show that 1853 children
under IS years Of age we're found en-
ployed in mines and quarries, and 1888
under IA years Of age in factories.
Working in factories for more than
eight hours or at night were 1894
children between the ages Of "a and
IS years.
Investigations made since June
(the date the law declared uneonsti-
| tutionai) show e0e children under ID
years at work in 1872 factories, 3t89
under IS years working more than
eight hours a day, and 149 working
at night. In 10 mines inspected, 81
children under IS years Of age were
found at work.
These figures show that a substant.
| iaI increase in the number Of children
employed has taken place since the
notification Of the Federal law. Stat
istics showing how many children
have been put on the long day and
week are not available, but investisa-
tons made by the Child Labor Di-

the children under IL years were put
on the lono-hcur basis as soon as the
law was nuIIified.
| II the Iong-hour day has been
found economically undesirable for a.
Quits, it logically follows that it must
be doubly dangerous for children. In
an effort to uphold the standards of
the Federal law, as it exised previous
to June3 Of this year, the War Labor
Policies Eoard Of the Department Of
Labor recently voted that these
standars should be made a condition
