\ S l ENTERED the cool, dim
~ lit store of N. Stetson & Co.,
I'LL Chestnut Street, with its
polished floors and cleaning instru-
ments, I heard the throbbing tones
of Ave Maria and knew that it
must be new Edison phonograph.
No other instrument reproduces so
perfectly the beautiful tones of the
violin, the marvellous notes of the
human volce-or any musical sound.
One forgets that one is listening to
reproduction, so perfect is the tone.
The disc of the Edison holds the
largest records, so that among the
records you find many of the longer
classical compositions. And YOU
will be delighted with the new
Edison being shown. 1t is English
style of the Eighteenth Century, of
rich brown mahogany-a charming
addition to any room.
4 RE you not glad once more to
~ visit the many fascinating de-
partments of Oppenheim and
Collins, Chestnut and Twelfth
Streets? Take the dress department,
Tor instance. There is one model
displayed now of finest voile, in fig
ured or checked light blue, dark
blue or pink and white. The lines
are long and graceful, and the three
quarter-length sleeves and the neck
have a soft frilling of white Georg-
ette. lace edged. The broad sash
matches the color in the pattern of
the voile, and buttons from the sash
ribbon adorn each side of the back.
Then there is a net model, with
snort sleeves and paneled sides.
Lovely lace flowers are appliqued on
sleeves, Panels and around the bot
tom OF the skirt, while narrow old
gold ribbon at the waist line adds
a bit of color. Every woman's sum-
mer wardrobe should include at least
one of these lovely net dresses.
T FRANKLIN MILLER, 1912
j. Chestnut Street, is showing a
new kind of ironing board-an
aluminium board which can be folded
IN two, and hung in your closet in
the cretonne bag in which it comes.
1t was primarily designed, no doubt,
for the woman who has a small
apartment, or who is boarding, and
who will not trust her best blouse to
the laundry. But because it holds
the heat longer, and thus makes
ironing easier, it is really superior
to the ordinary board, and so would
make a convenient addition to any
laundry. A well-fitting cover comes
with it, and, oh, yes-it fits right in
your suitcase. so that you could
carry it with you when YOU 90
away. Drop in at Miller's, and look
at one of these boards.
VOU are in town shopping, and
I luncheon time finds You tired.
warm and listless. You know
you should eat something, but YOU
just plain don't feel like it. That is
the time you should drop in at one
of the Cheri restaurants. either at
1872 South 18th Street, or 124 South
18th Street. Cool, dainty salads Won
will find, of firm, pink salmon, we'll
seasoned potatoes and dressing, or
juicy, tempting fruits. And always
the lettuce is crisp and cool. Add to
this. a delicious Cheri roll, and a
tinkling glass of iced Cheri tea, and
you have a summer luncheon to
tempt the most jaded appetite. You
are always sure of an extra.nice
luncheon--or dinner, too, for that
matter--when you go to Cheri,s.
