forgot that they have other laurels
to look to, and continue sending US
distinctive gowns and costumes. At
Blaylock e. Blynn's, 1923 Chestnut
street, there are several artistic din
ner dresses, copied from imported
Partisan models. In one the bodice
OF brown Georgette hangs straight
and full from the high collar to the
hip line, where it is joined by a
studded band to the brown velvet
skirt, which has the new one-side
drapery. In second gown there is
a gray Georgette overdress trimmed
with terra-cotta wool embroidery and
edged with wolf fur, blending in
shade with the taupe satin under
skirt. Both these gowns have the
new long sleeves, with the queer
cuff, or revere, near the elbow.
DLOW, blow, blow! That is what
II we hear Everywhere, and it is
not the north wind making the
noise, but those who have touch
of the "flu." Never have handker-
chiefs been more in evidence or more
in demand, and the bigger and softer
the better. With every member of
the family begging, borrowing or
flching his supply, paterfamilias is
replenishing at Macdonald & Camp
bells, l334-36 Chestnut street. where
they have Irish linen and English
cambria handke -chiefs and a special
lot of extra fine white. all-linen
French handkerchiefs. These and
their French silk-and-linen handker-
chiefs, with stunning colored borders,
are quite unusual. for few are coming
INTO the country. and those which
are here are rapidly being bought up
by men who know what's what.

Valley, that wonderful fruit garden
OF the West, is sending many varie-
ties to Henry R. Hallowell & Son,
Broad below Chestnut street. The
Jonathans, offsprings of the Spitzen-
t6urgs, have arrived, and those who
have already made their acquaint-

IAS it ever struck you how
much pleasure and profit is
derived from looking in shon
windows? The articles displayed
are not always what we want our
selves, but frequently serve as re
minders of the needs of others. This
week the II. d. Dougherty Company,
1852 Chestnut street, had theirs
1illed with wicker suggestions for
His Majesty the Babe. Cozy bassi-
nettes on wheels, with a hood to
ward off draughts. Round or square
baby dressers, one tier conveniently
a ranged above the other, with the
top compartment for the bath access

trimmed with dainty pink or blue
silk and net. And the cutest little
hooded automobile travelling bassi-
nette, on basket. contrivance with
handle for carrying and lower end
covered to keep the family idol from
rolling out.
CILVER is one of the possessions
which outlasts time, one of the
few whose value increases with
age. Pieces handed down from gen.
Grafton to Fene-ation are the most
priced of family heirlooms. conse-

silver, every one being a potential
ancestor. At Bailey, Banks E. Bid

part in their collection. All manner
of silver sets and odd pieces are
there, and of them the Bridal Chests
