~ gentle spring that weeks ago
n settled over Louisiana has been
waited north to Henry R. HalloWell
& Son, Broad below Chestnut street
Great, luscious, ripe strawberries are
the glowing bearers of the glad It'd
ings that winter has fled from that
section and that we may now expect
a constant supply from points nearer
and nearer home. These Louisiana
strawberries, the delightful klondyke
variety, are firm, juicy and lighter
red than the Florida berries, but as
they are only shipped by the carload
(in refrigerator cars) it is impos-
sible for people in small towns to
obtain them. However, this is no
reason for depriving yourself of a
delicious feast, as Hallowell success
fully sends them 500 miles by parcel
post, special delivery, and they are
now cheaper.
TYOUGH the ruling passion is

l. not so much prediction as
predecision which took me this time
to the Silver Department of Bailey,
Banks G. Biddle Company. Buying
Easter wedding presents can no
longer be deferred, and nothing
makes a more acceptable gift for the
bride than sterling silver, especially
q service: dinner, tea or coffee. me

of three pieces-coffee pot, sugar
bowl and cream jug-are lovely be,

designs, and Louis XVI set Is par
ticularly attractive. Gold lined. tall
and of classic and symmetrical lines,
decorated with the typical acanthus
leaves, garlands, medallions and
rams heads of the period, each piece
rests upon slender legs, ending in
rams hoofs, attached to a solid trl-
angular base.
~<HE "getting-together" idea of
customer and salesman at
Il Jacob Reeds Sons, 1424-26
Chestnut street, is proving big sue
cess. Every man has his own ideas
about the sort of clothes he wants,
and NAV have certain notions about
stvles and fabrics, but, honestly, doz-
ems of fIthem are mighty poor choos-
ers. Now, the Reeds salesmen
know their stock, and they know the
stvle. and if you talk things over
with them. giving your point of view
and listening to theirs, you will un-
doubtedly arrive sat a satisfactory
understanding. After one of these
chats you will realize why one fabric
is better than another; why one
4 style will appear to better advantage
than another, and their large assort-
ment of fabrics and models VIII as
sure you a practically unlimited ex-
ercise of choice.

bounced and joggled the better
L they behave. but they cannot
be left to sprawl on the floor or
ground unprotected. In the Baby
Department of H. d. Dougherty
Company, 1882 Chestnut street,
there are many pieces built for the
protection and comfort of baby. The
Cariole. a wire-screened white
enamel baby-pen, with mattress or
board floor, raised from the ground
and on wheels, making it easy to
move from place to place, and the
Baby Yard, a fence AZ inches square,
with canvas floor, are two con-
triyances in which the child can roll
and crawl in perfect safety. There
are also Bassinets, exauisitely
trimmed or untrimmed: Cribs with
luxurious mattresses, Baby Ward
robes and Dressers. the cutest
things, Chairs of all kinds, Baskets
galore and several style Tubs.
