~ I'D you realize that any
girl who is old enough
- to know how TO write is
old enough to revel in having a
desk of her own!
This thought may solve the
very gift problem that bother
ed you worst.
The $3.50 desk is a drop
front one, finished in mahogany,
and has one large drawer. In
side is a stationery rack. five
pigeon-holes and n drawer.
If the lady is older, she may
prefer the more exalted dignity
Of a secretary desk.
One of the handsomest desks
we have in the store is equally
suitable for either man or
woman. No room could be
otherwise than handsome with
this superb piece Of mahogany
standing in It, while from the
practical standpoint the amount
Of accommodation which It az
fords is remarkable.
Its wide front shows in draw
ers and desk portion the oval
serpentine swell typical Of the
Queen Anne period. Above Is
the bookcase section, with its
gracefully shaped top rising to
a final In the center, and its
two handsome Slated doors.
The,ive deep exterior draw
ers have beautifully shaped
brass handles and shields,
which are exact reproductions
of those used in 100. The
heavy cabriolet legs appear In
the back as we'll as the front.
When the lid (such a stun
ming piece of wood, with its
glorious grain and satiny fin
ish) is dropped, the interior of
the desk is shown to be almost
as attractive as the exterior.

rious graceful shapes, fiat,
round, wide, narrow, are deriv-

An attractive feature Of
many of the fiower-bowls Is
the stem holder in leaf form

very pretty bowl can be had,
which with holder, comes at SO,

As usual, there's a msgni-
ficent display of fine pieces Of
cut glass TO choose from, and OF
these, one of the finest is the
superb "silver-thread design"

and cl\seness of the parallel
lines of cutting which form the
distinguishing feature Of its
decoration, with motifs Of floral
medallions, and borders of the
strawberry diamond fan pat

Those who are in quest Of
something extremely choice In
cut-glass pieces can select
nothing more exquisite In

vase, berry bowl, flower bowl,
bonbon or relish dish, pitcher,

It's no dull place of window
