TNHERE are few of us who drink
enough water but it has gained |
ess than a week away.


enough water. but it has gained
n considerably in favor as a
beverage since July 1. Those of us
who do enjoy glass of water Just
before retiring and first thing IN
the morning would appreciate as a
Christmas gift one of those pretty
thermos sets which include bottle,
glass and tray. You will find them
at the store of J, Franklin Miller,
1912 Chestnut street, and you will
not find it difficult to choose a color
which will harmonic with the fur
nishings of the room in which 1t is
to be placed, for never have | seen
thermos bottles with such decorative
possibilities. There is. one set paint
ed in a rich ivory shade with band
of tiny rosebuds which is particu-
larly interesting, and would look
very we'll with ivory furniture.
IN ASSING by the store of n. Stet-.
son & Company, I'LL Chestnut
4 street, the other day, l noticed
something new, and being of a
curious turn of f.mind, returned for a
second look. 1t was small port
able phonograph-the most compact
that | have yet seen. 1t plays all
records most satisfactorily and is
lust the thing to liven up your week
end parties. 1t has handle by which
il can be conveniently carried, and
not the least of it's merits lies in the
fact that it is inexpensive. Ask to
hear the Cirola, for that is it's name,
and YOU will be delighted with it.
They are quite enthusiastic about it
at Stetson's, for it is so convenient
and practical. 1t would make most
acceptable gift. for it is one that
every one in the family would ap-
preciate.
JUDGING from the interest which
every one seems to be showing
~ in the flexible jeweled bracelets
at the store of Bailey, Banks & Bid
die Company, many debutante is
going to wear band of precious
stones on her fair, white arm at
Christmas week festivities. These
bracelets are exauisitely fashioned:
each one is in itself a masterpiece OF
the jewelers. handicraft. One. a
band of sparkling diamonds, has a
large stone in the center, with
smaller diamonds on either. side.
Others are set with emeralds and
diamonds, rubies and diamonds and
sapphires and diamonds. Bar pins
are lovely, too, for Christmas gifts,
and there are many beautiful ones at
Baiiey's. A bar pin is one piece Of
;ewelrv that every woman really
appreciates.
-OR friends living outside of
II Philadelphia you can devise no
Il better Christmas gift than one
of Hallowell's Gift-Baskets of Fruit.
Out-of-town people always delight in
the novelty of these Gift-Baskets of
Fruit, for they are not obtainable in
other cities. Henry r. Hallowell q
Son, Broad street below Chestnut,
have so perfected their system of
shipping that they guarantee. deliv-
ery of a Gift-Basket of Fruit in per-
feet condition to points 1000 miles
distant from Philadelphia. Of course,
the speed with which these deliveries
are made is one reason why they ar
rive with each piece of fruit in place,
but that is part of the system.
The baskets are beautiful, and when
filled with Hallowell's luscious fruits,
they make the most delectable
Christmas gift that any one could
wish for.
br<HERE is no more practical piece
of jewelry than a good watch.
n And there is no gift that appeals
to a man more than something that
he can use. The new thin watches
are so attractive and SO much more
convenient to carry than the bulky
ones which our grandfathers wore,
that even if man possesses one of
these large timepieces which he
treasures as an heirloom he often
finds it much more practical to carry
a smaller watch which is dependable
as a timekeeper. At the stores of
/. Press & Sons, Chestnut and Eighth
streets, 1917 Market street and 909
Market street, saw some very
good-looking models; one which !
admired particularly was octagon
shaped. These watches are of re-
liable makes and, on the whole, seem
to be very moderately priced.
