tainly nothing answers "present" to
this description better than a rug. .
At Fritz & La Rue,I124 Chestnut !
street, they have all kinds, from
moderate priced to antique gems,
duplicated nowhere else in the coun-
try. Their collection of Oriental
rugs is superb, and of them six un-
usually fine Keshan rugs deserve T
particular praise. Persian Keshans
hold the highest place among rugs,
and these examples are Of the best. !

wonderfully glossy in texture, they
come in different colors, the one I
looked at having a rich dark blue
field, well covered with mulberry
toned center medallion and figures, |
with border to harmonic.

Steinway piano, sold by N. Stetson
& Co., Ill Chestnut street. Founded
on solid worth, its growth has been
gradual, each step the logical out
come of the other. From the first
to the latest piano made the same
| deals have dominated the Steinway
family as inspired the originator
to have it the best piano, and at the
same time the least expensive in the
long run. This has been possible of
accomplishment because the business
emains in the family, the only one
IF the old high-class piano firms
which has not changed hands.

Chestnut street, published list sug-

tnat were sold in their shop, but of
'hese only one was specifically for

TTARDLY is the rush of the holi-
day season over before those
who 60 South for the winter
begin their preparations, and these
| preparations mean not only buying
gowns, hats and the thousand and
one other pretty conceits, but also
the proper kind of trunk, one that
will carry the dazzling creations
without danger of running them. At
William Curry's, 1112 Chestnut
street, they are selling any number
Of fine wardrobe trunks as Christ
