juicy, are as welcome as this
taste of snappy fall weather
after our recent warm spell. They
seem to have taken their colors from
the autumn leaves, for they are green
and russet and red. For flavor they
are uneXcelled, and when ordering
them you can depend upon their run
hing true to form. 1t is almost i'm
possible to put into words an ade-
quate description of these pears, for
they are superlatively delicious. The
only way you can really get any idea
Of their lusciousness is to taste some
from the store of Henry R. Hallowell
& Son, Broad Street below Chestnut.

fall fruits from Hallowell's, can be
delivered quickly and satisfactorily

Hempel's exquisite voice at the Acad-

to music lovers that the Metropolitan
Opera Company's leading soprano
has this year elected to spend most
of her time in giving concerts
throughout the country. And, al
though it may not be possible for you
to hear her on the concert stage, you
can hear re-creations of Miss Hem

Edison at the Steinway Warerooms,
iii Chestnut Street. Ask to hear
the "Ave Maria" from "Cavalleria
Rusticana" or "Evviva la Francia"
from "The Daughter OF the Regi-
ment." Miss Hempel's voice has a
marvellous, limpid purity which is
impossible of reproduction by any
other than the Edison method.

4 COMFORTABLE mattress and

you have the secret of a good
nights rest. A mattress of pure,
curled horsehair and a box spring
from the store of H, d. Dougherty

comfort and healthful rest. A curled
hair mattress, as manufactured by
the Dougherty method, embodies in
itself all the benefits of a spring.
The curled hair forms mass of
tiny spiral springs, which make the
mattress resilient and allow air to
penetrate every fiber Dougherty's
method of sterilization renders the
hair absolutely germproof and the
fact that the choice of mattresses
for hospital use is almost invariably

it is the most sanitary Of materials.
