SSNTO MATTER how old and
decrepit I become, | shall
eve lose my love for these
baby things" said a gray-haired ma,
tron, who, accompanied by her small
granddaughter, was trying to decide
between a blue-and-white .enameled
chair and a black one with bunny
rabbits romping across its back, at
the store Of H. D. Dougherty & Co.,
1852 Chestnut Street. There is a
fascinating array of cribs and bassi-
nets there, too, and there are tiny
clothes trees. and hangers-every-
thing, in short, to make baby happy
and comfortable. There is a folding
bathtub for baby, high enough to be
comfortably reached from your chair.
If you are interesting in watching
baby grow you will want to inspect
the white enameled scales, without
which no nursery is really complete.
TIME California Muscat Grapes
have arrived at Henry R. Hal
lowell & Sons, Broad Street
below Chestnut. This new will
gladden. the hearts of all who have
tasted these wonderful grapes. With
out a doubt they are the sweetest
and best grapes grown. Originally
from the Valley of the Nile, where,
doubtless Cleopatra herself delight
ed in them, they have been trans
planted to California, where the
climate is particularly favorable to
their development. Their season is
quite short, so it would be wise to
enjoy them while they last. Among
other fruits at Hallowell's are Seckel
Pears, Japanese Plums, Tokay
Grapes and Alligator Pears from
Florida. Any or all Of these fruits
can be delivered quickly to out-of-
town points, 1000 miles distant by
parcel post, special delivery.
eST CAN study my lessons better
school," said a tiny tot the
other day. And who can blame her,
for we all know that comfortable
feeling that comes with a new dress.
A pretty dress at Oppenheim, Collins
& Co., Chestnut and Twelfth Streets,
! for the schoolgirl between 8 and IA
years, has a pleated skirt of blue
serge, buttoned to a waist of pongee.
The waist is hand shocked in brown
and there is a narrow brown bow at
the neck. Another dress of navy
SERGE, box pleated from neck to hem,
has a Roman-striped sash, knotted at
either side. A>short-tunic model has
a chenille -tasseled girdle reminiscent
of the monastic cord. The cuff hem,
sleeves and round neck show hand
stitching in green, pink and yellow.
ssD oST0N for beans and Phila;;

said the Knight Templar
! from New York to a brother knight
from Baltimore, as he slowed away
in his suitcase q good~sized package
of Thommen's Sticky CHM Bun. ~

restaurants, 1920 Market Street, or

They'd rather have it than candy"
Another d~elicacy for which Thorn
mems is noted is Japanese Cake. 1t
Is filled with rich French butter
cream, colored with roasted Jordan
almonds and it literally "melts in
your mouth" Chicken salad, another
of Thommen's sp~ecialties, is becom-
ing every day more popular, and
small wonder, for it is truly delicious.
