~AINTY, daring Marie Antoi-
nette, with all the rest OF the
~ gay coterie at Petit Trlanoh,
seem to fit before US when we nan
die a piece of silverware in the Ma
rie Antoinette design. Light, airy,
with medallions topped by fluttering
ribbons and connected by festoons OF
flowers, they dance their way into
our hearts, as the young Queen
danced her way through life. Par
ticularly appropriate to this style OF
pattern are the sterling silver flower
centerpieces at Bailey. Banks & Bid
de Company. Those in the shape OF
tall French baskets look as if they
could be carelessly filled with roses
and carried on the arm, but with the
low. massive, dignified round ones no
sucb liberty would be possible!
These, however, by removing the
mesh, could also be used for ferns or
fruits.
yHEN you consider that you
w probably w will l,ohs have az ctoo:ine to ilve
new furniture becomes an important
undertaking, for it may either turn
out to be an eternal thorn or the
greatest IF p,aasure-givers. At Dar-
lington's, 1868 Chestnut street, In
the present sale of furniture. there
are many things of beauty that
would be joy forever. Tables
and-but first the tables. In ma
hogany, handsome Ch'ppendale
j;bTarv tables. with drawers and the
tvpical carved rope edge, carved legs
and claw feet. Gate-leg tables with
drop sides, good for halls or any
where. Convenient sofa-end tables.
Kidney.shape breakfast tables; two
tier tables, whose four leaves drop;
snap-top card tables, inlaid or plain;
dienified oak hall tables in Jacobean
STYLES and--I could go on forever!
~HE King of Siam is now in
Philadelphia, bigger, fatter
l. and yellower than ever. Per-
haps you only know him BY his other
name, King Tangerine Orange, but
the correct title is King OF siam
Tangerine. for, though now grown
in Florida. its original habitat was
that far-off land bordering on
burma. At Henry r. Hallowell d
SONS. Broad below Chestnut street,
these golden representatives OF the,
opulence of the Fast are to be had
in several sizes, the largest as big as
Indian River Oranges, and that is
growing some for a tangerine!
Lighter in color than their co"mon
brethren, juicy, meaty, highly ma.
vored. they are the sweetest OF
sweet, and, though somewhat fiat
tened in form, with an exceedingly
rough, crinkly skin, they are never
theless most attractive in appear
ance.
ALTHOUGH Oriental rugs are
u quite the loveliest and most ar
4 y tistic floor coverings imagin-
able, every one does not feel like
having them from top to bottom OF
their house, nor, for that matter, do
they always want rug with pat
tern. Fortunately, We live in an era
when individuality is allowed full
play, and at Fritz & La Rue, 1124
Chestnut street, besides domestic
and Oriental rugs, there is the
largest stock in town of beautiful,
heavy chenille rugging domestic
and foreign), which is not al all ex-
pensive. 1t comes in all the desir-
BILE plain colors, taupe, smoke gray
tan, light and medium rose, null
berry and two blues, in widths from
Q TO 20 feet, and in any lengths.
Moreover, it is here ready for in
slant delivery, not off in the wilds
waiting for shiprrent.
