GUNNER is drawing nigh, and
- during the many months that
~ are ahead, keeping the home
cool and comfortable is one of the
problems that confronts all house
wives. Many have already taken up
their heavy carpets and rugs and re-
placed them by less valuable floor
coverings, and have found that Fritz
e. La Rue, 1924 Chestnut street, in
addition to their Oriental rugs. carry
a vast assortment Of Domestic and
Imported Rugs, suitable for warmer
weather. Their stock of japanese
rugs, in five sizes. from 3x6 TT. to
11xl4.6 it,. is well chosen, coming
with the g grounds in blue. red, tan,
heliotrope and pink. One with an
old gold field has a conventional
Oriental center medallion in blues,
reds and tans, with the main border
in blue, the narrow inner one covered
by fancy design.
THOUGH one day may be warm
and the next cold. spring has
really arrived, and with it the
eyer-growing desire for seasonable
fresh things to eat, be they fruits or
vegetables. Each morning at Henry
R. Hallowell & Sons. Broad street
below Chestnut, another tempting
delicacy seems to be brought forth,
and among. the newest are fragrant
Strawberries, Red Bananas, the first

California Artichokes; Asparagus,
thick, beautiful stalks, tender to the
ends: hothouse Mushrooms and Gu
cumbers, all of which, including

anywhere with perfect satisfaction

TN DAYS of yore tall, stately
Grandfathers' Clocks; standing
Il guard in the spacious halls or on
the landings of the stairs, were wei!
loved and familiar sights; then came
a period of banishment, but once
again they are back in full favor,
and make most timely gifts Tor
the coming bride. At Bailey,Hanks
& Biddle Company there are solid
mahogany Grandf fathers Clocks,
modern reproductions, of course, in
many sizes and STYLES, from a very
handsome large hall clock to a small
size. built expressly for little homes
or apartments. All have movements
calculated to outwear time, with me-
Iodious striking chimes and dials--
ali kinds-even with the old-fash-
ioned moon phases, but as twentieth
century people do less incoming
than their ancestors, this feature is
absent from the newest style diais
DUYING clothes these days is
X something not lightly to be con-
~ sidered. The average man has
to figure carefully what his dollars
will bring, for clothing prices. like
everything else, are much higher
than formerly. and people realize
they must pay much more for all
thew wear. This state of affairs has
opened a splendid field for the dealer
who wants to make excessive or un'
lust ,rofits and who finds it fine
time "to put it over" without being
caught. for how many customers
know the actual market value Of
what they get? So the wise buvel
this spring buys from a house W.T.
reputation for integrity, whici
commands and deserves his conn
dence. and safeguards his interests
