TJOW often do we hear women
tt sighinp for the picturesque
4 Il spnets of their ancestors, and
wishing they owned one! If they
only could hear the weak, tinkling
sound they give forth they would be
cured Of any desire for an original,
and doubly apprcciative of the Stein
way Baby Grands sold by n. Stetson
a. Co., i'll Chestnut street. One
model, made of the choicest mahog-
any. with an inlaid border, and
quaint ivory name plate, is in out
ward appearance almost a counter
part CT the graceful spinet. But
there the similarity ceases, and one
realizes the unreasonable difference
between the old and the new. When
the first chord is struck and the bril-
liant tones ring forth, one knows
why this inimitablc piano has
achieved worldwide fame and won q
high place of honor in the musical
world.

novelties are silk duvetyne hats in
nearly all shades, with mole, beaver

a brim of shaggy terra Gotta beaver

to form two tiny revers, and around
the brim rambles chic wreath of
chenille flowers in autumnal shades.

~HE cultivation of pears is by no

of two distinct origins; those

Henry R. Hallowell & Son, Broad
below Chestnut street, are showing
the beautiful Comice Pears (lineal
descendants of the French Due de
Comice pears), which now flourish
in those wonderful fruit valleys of
Washington and Oregon. They are
bigger than the Bartletts and more
pyriform in shape. Their color

Juicy and highly favored and, being

THERE are two ways of Hoover
izing. One you know about,
Il having faithfully practiced all
summer, and will be honestly glad
when there is no further occasion for
it. The other you probably never
heard of, but once tried will stick to
all winter and never again will forgo
its pleasure, To Hooverize by this
second method all that is necessary
is a Hoover Suction Sweeper from
the House Furnishing Store of j.
Franklin Miller, 1912 Chestnut
street. 1t is an electric carpet
sweeper and vacuum cleaner COM
bined, with an electrically driven
brush of soft hair, which sweeps and
shakes the carpet. bringing the dirt
to the surface, which is removed by
the powerful suction. There is no
rubbing off nap with the Hoover and
no scattering of the dust when
emptying.

Stock Supply.

New York. Feb. 1.-After a bouyant
opening today under leadership OF
United States Steel the market was
freely supplied with stocks over the
wires from the West with the result
that after wavering for a few hours
a distinct setback came in the las.
hour.
The close was irregular with net
losses of a point and more in most
active issues. while specialties ranged
higher. Steel sold down to points
under the high of the morning. st.
Paul lost more than points.
The curb market followed with a
high opening and a low closing. Cot
ton closed lower.
From all the evidence obtainable II
seems that the Western traders got
the better of the Wall Street profess
sionals. The latter were short of the
market and did most Of the buying
that put the market up on Thursday
and at today's opening.
