WV HENEVER I go into Henry
" R. Hallowell & Sons, Broad
W below Chestnut street, and
see the enchanting gift baskets Of
fruits they have on sale wonder
/ with Omar Khayyam "what the
winters buy one-half so precious as
the stuff they SELL" Nowhere in
town is there such IA large assort-
ment of baskets, particularly Japan
ese. Laid in before the supply was
cut off, these bamboo baskets, in
! Susudaki finish, come in eight differ
ent styles and sizes. Some are ham
pers, some round, some fiat, some
high, some semitransparent, others a
wonderful double weave with rolled
edge. Heaped to the handles with
the most gorgeous apples, pears,
grapes and oranges that the country
can produce, arranged in the inim-
table Hallowell manner, they are
fit for the ransom of more than a
king.
~ ORDINATIONS of black and

~ They have a style and indi-
viduality all their own, due no doubt
! to the striking color contrast. Every
woman understands this and will ap-
, preciate and revel in the exquisite
| new jewelry gotten out by Bailey,
Banks & Biddle Company. Black
onyx in combination with diamonds
and mounted in platinum. Doesn't
that sound stunning? You know
how fashionable onyx was genera
ton or two ago. They have taken
a leaf out of grandmother jewel
case and developed it into beautiful
flower. Flexible bracelets, studded
alternately with diamonds and glis-
tening onyx, finger rings, lavallieres,
brooches, earrings, scarfpins- and
graceful barpins all carry out the
same idea in a variety of designs
which beggar description.

H. d. Dougherty Company, 1852
Chestnut street, captured the dainty
maidens painted on their electric
lamp shades and screens, for in their
beautiful collection there are several
little ladies who smile alluringly out
into the room they light. Birds, too.
with their brilliant plumage are
favorite designs, must being hand
painted on parchment, and both
these and the silk shades may be
made to order to match any color
scheme desired. One of the newest
shades, for a debutante's boudoir, is
of deep pink chiffon, .ornamented
with festoons of black velvet ribbon
and delicate punches of flowers in
pastel shades. Combined with a ma
hogany stand, of which they have a
large variety, it is most fetching.
WV HENEVER you feel jaded
| " tired and old. that's the time
W to do your Christmas shop
ping for the wee ones of the family.
Wander around the Toy Department
Of B. F. Devices, 1922 Chestnut
street, and see if your spirits do not
rise. First you will hunt our your
childhood favorites for old acquaint-
ance sake, then you will choose the
newest things for young acquaint-
ance sake, and by this time your
gloom will have vanished. particu-
iarly if you started off by looking at
the "Moving- Picture Books" which
are extremely comical and afford
endless amusement. The Wonder
Blocks, introducing Mother Goose
characters, and the Funny-Face
Family Blocks will also please the
kiddies, while older boys would like
the "Aviation Book" with beautiful
illustrations Of the worlds airplanes,
i" HE secret of being well dressed
is really no secret at all. 1t is
- merely question of going to
the right shop, trusting the right
salesman and buying the right
clothes! Of course, am talking to
men (women never think any ones
judgment right but their OWN, who
can get this triple combination at
Macdonald G. Campbell's, 1334-36
Chestnut street. If seeking a new
overcoat why not examine their dis
tinctive line of English Fleece Over
coats, one of the warmest, roomiest
fieeciest coats of the season, the kind
that wraps you in generous folds and
makes you forget there is such a
thing as shivering. Of the finest
Australian and Shetland wood, made
in the latest style, good for any oc-
casion or any age man, they are the
top notch in everything-except
price. -
TO SEIZE an opportunity when
it presents itself without wait
A~ ing for it to be lost is lesson
nard to learn, but am sure the most
confirmed procrastinator will not
long delay paying a visit to c. j.
Hoppe & Son, 1117-19 Chestnut
street, when they learn that they
have a number of high-grade used
pianos which are being sold off at
extremely lsW figures. These pianos,
both up-ights and grands, have been
rented by householders at summer
resorts, well-to-do people with homes
at the seashore, mountains or in the
suburbs. Many of the pianos. which
were taken by the Heppes IN trade,
bear the names of the best ,laown
piano makers of the country, Cd
since being returned to the shop
have been put in Thorough repair,
