CTRAWBERRIES, fine, big, lus-
cious strawberries, which in
other years were looked for at
Easter, are already here, not be-
cause Dame Nature is ahead of time,
but because Lady Moon is behind
with Easter. Warm, sunny Florida,
regardless of feasts, sends her boun-
tiful crops to Henry R. Hallowell &
Sons, Broad below Chestnut street,
at the regular season, but when
Easter does come it will be North
Carolina strawberries that will be
on your table. Even if you do not
like strawberries (does such one
exist?), YOU could not fail to enjoy
the beauty of those at Hallowell's,
and would appreciate the care be-
slowed upon them in packing and
shipping North. Put in individual
refrigerators and re-iced on the way,
they are as fresh and firm when
they reach you as though picked an
hour before.
BRIDE cherishes her silver
n wedding gifts more than any
Il n presents she receives during
her life. Years after the happy day
he still displays them to her friends,
provided they are worth showing,
for. though much money is spent on
wedding remembrances, little judg-
ment is frequently shown in their
choice. A miscellaneous assortment
of unmatched pieces never makes
the same showing as a handsome
solid silver dinner or tea service. or
a complete service of fiat silver of
one pattern, any of which the bride
NAV possess if the family clan would
adopt the Bailey. Banks & Biddle
Company plan. Select one, OF their
handsome services, and if grand
mother will not pay for all OF it; let
each member give a piece. Inc
bride would thus get really worth
while present.

ali clever phrases, it perhaps needs
eyplaining as department where
the clothes are in the best style, OF
extra-fine quality fabrics and work
manship. and are designed to suit
the individual tastes of men who
generally do not wear ready-made
Clothing As the number of gar

tern is limited, the much-desired all
of exclusiveness which usually is
onlv to be had in custom-tailored
productions is here to be found, max

IN STUDYING Oriental rugs the
seeker after knowledge is warnec
l. not to depend upon patterns fol
classification, but to look to textures
and weaves, a complicated matte,
for the novice. but the only sure
guide. Especially is this true OF the
rugs of India. where Persian, Mo
hammedan, Chinese and European
influences are constantly struggling
with the dreamy mysticism which
nenetrates all Hindu art, but though
the design may be borrowed, there
is ALWAYS an Indian feature. A goot
example of this at Fritz q La Rue,s
1924 Chestnut street, is fine ~

scrutiny reveals its origin. On

Chinese symbols in apricot AM
darker blues, while the borders shad
into buff.
