The Washington herald., 1918-06-07

r.a Pleasantly surprised.
But we had no idea We could do
so well IN Washington when we
started out. did we Alice! Do you
know, 1 think our dining room set
of walnut that we got at Wood
ward and Lothrop's Is just grand,
and / love our complete silver SER
vice Of Fairfax design that We
found at r. Harris and the silver
water set and salad set we got at
the Palais Royal
We bought our ivory bedroom
furniture and those Marion Scott
Key rugs at woodward and Lo-
throp's. think Jim Is going to
like his ehifrerobe much better than
the old style chiffonier. We found
the cutest little clock to match at
Kahn's.
We bought our bedroom in Adam
design at Goldenbers's and our din
ing room set in American walnut
in the King William and Mary de-
sign.
Do you know. Isabelle, that we
won't mind being without a maid
at times with all those handy cleo
tricaI appliances we found at the
National Electrical Supply Com
pany. One could cook an entire
dinner in her boudoir with such
conyeniences.
Yes, but I believe Paul and / will
enjoy our Thermatic Fireless cooker
we bought at Mayors, and our
Hoosier kitchen cabinet. You know
Alice, after trying the tones of
many pianos, Paul decided that the
A. B. Chase suited my voice best.
and we bought one at Geo. Ken
nedy's.
NIetroIa for Trench.
Well, you know / don't sing, but
Jim and I intend to perfect ourselves
in French and we found a Victrola
at Cohen and Hughes that has some
splendid conversational records. And
then we got some wonderful records
from House & Hermann, and Cash
& Birge. the people we bought our
home from, say that we will have
one of the finest dancing floors in
Washington.
You know we bought our living
room furniture at Goldenberg's and
mother found some splendid slip
overs at the United Upholstering
Company. And all our kitchen uten-
sils we bought at Barber & Ross.
And such. variety OF goodies and
groceries mother selected from the
Old Dutch Market and stocked our
pantry. Mother bought a consider
able quantity of fresh fruit and ber-
ries and vegetables from them as she
is going to do a lot of preserving so
as to help win the war.
Where did you order your an
nouncement cards Alice?
At R. P. Andrews. They have a
fine assortment and Jim got me a
brides book there.
Didn't you enjoy our trip around
through the florists shops? Every
one was so kind to US. Have your
folks decided yet who they are go-
ing to have do the decorating?
1 don't know. Who would you
have?
Well. Guide suggested oak foliage
and gladiolas with Australian fol-
iage, but Blackistone's idea of put
ting an Easter lily at each pew in
the church was pretty. don't you
think?
Yes, but Shaffer thought white
roses would be the most appropri-
ate. F. II. Kramer suggested pink
sweet peas for the bridesmaids and
a shower of baby orchids with ILL
ies-of-the-valIey for me.
We won't find much trouble in
packing. for that wardrobe trunk
father got me at Topham's is so
well arranged you can find Just
what you want without even look
ing for il.
Uncle David got me the dearest
gold mesh bag at WhitmOre, Lynn
and Alden's, and a beautiful plat
mum bracelet watch at Harris and
Shafer Company.
Did l show you the fiIigree plat
inum bar pin father bought me at
Castleberg's?
Yes. think it's a beauty.
Jim bought me a kodak at Z. B.
Thompson's last week.
He did! Why Paul got me one
last week there, too, and he bought
a few good books from NJ Phil
lips to carry along with us.
Who is going to do your catering,
Rauscher or Demonet?
Oh, I'm not giving that a thought
as mother is looking after that end
of it and 1 never care anything
about eating anyway.
Aunt Kate gave me the neatest
little sewing basket and a beauti-
full leather jewel case she got at
Becker's. You know Aunt Kate is
so practical.
Aunt Sadie bought US an Icy
hot bottle. for you know when we
get away up in the mountains there
will be times when we won't be
able to get hot coffee and our ICY
will keep it either steaming hot
or icy cold. She bought it at
Schmedtie Bros. Co.
We bought a patented crumb
sweeper there.
We found some very choice Cop
enhagen china and Tiffany favrille
glass at Berry and Whitmore's.
Sun ParIor Furniture.
Our sun parlor is to be furnished
with fiber furniture we found al
Hechts.
Paul said he was going to get me
an engraved wedding ring of bridal
roses from Lucios'.
Say. Isabelle, how do you like the
lilac perfume we found at Carter's.
think 1t Is very delicate and re-
ined.
We must keep our appointment
with Prof. Richard Foss for our
shampoo this afternoon.
always buy all my hair goods at
deller's. They are so exclusive.
don't think there is a shop in
New York that could offer a better
assortment of wedding gowns than
iidding's. It's just a shame that We
an only wear them on such special
occasions. I'd like to put mine on
very day, it's so becoming.
Oh. yes, but / want to keep mine
orever and even let my great grand
laughter wear IL.
