of the beautiful Silver Tea Services,

today are to be had at Bailey, Banks

Tor is it ninety-nine y different de-
signs are there in every conceivable
style; tall and slender, short and
squat, some highly ornamented,
others severely plain. each set con-
| sisting of tray, kettle, coffee pot,
| tea pot, sugar bowl, cream jug and
waste bowl. OF all silver pieces the
tea service is perhaps the most popu-
lar, for it lends itself to frequent
display. At breakfast, luncheon,
| supper or afternoon tea the kissing
kettle, with cleaning tea pot, sugar
bowl and cream jug set on a spark

and all pretend it is no concern OF
theirs, yet the 20,00O,0O0 tons of
pledged American food is being
raised. Fortunately for us, fruits
are not being shipped, and the more
we eat of the tasty varieties from
Henry r. Hallowell e. Sons, Broad
below Chestnut street, the more we
conserve of other foodstuffs. This
week luscious pears are there to
tempt us. Forcllas, Boscs, Easter
Beurres and others that in former
years could not be had in winter.
All are delicious eaten alone or made
into salads or desserts. The Beurre

are so similar that one de-

there is no doubt that the first were
Of Daghestan origin, yet why were
they called Cabistan when there Is
no town or district of that name!
One explanation is, that the name
translated means cemetery. In the
long ago graves were covered with
rugs, and between each one it was
the custom to spread another narrow
rug, and as Cabistans come in OBJ
long shapes it is believed they were
originally woven for this purpose.
The field is usually well sprinkled
with geometrical figures, though the
prayer design of the Daghestans is
never seen. At Fritz & La Rue,
1924 Chestnut street, it is interest
ing to compare the two and note
that both are strictly Persian in
coloring, though Caucasian in de-
sign.

dainty small designs and delicate
colors combined with white. In
voiles there is a wide choice. The
all-over Persian effects are most
stunning and artistic; those in dark
foulard shades and patterns, eXcep-
tionally well chosen; and the large
pink, blue or greenland white plads,
with overchecks in the block, and
white embroidered dots, look fresh
and cool. There are also evening

hams and imported dotted Swisses.
IkN EUSIC is not merely a study,
~N it is an entertainment;
ANA wherever there is music
there is a throng of listeners"
When those words were written
many years ago music in this coun-
try was not within reach of every
one. In outlying districts and farms
the occasional fiddler was an event,
the "artist" that drew the throngs.
Though conditions have vastly
changed, the love of music remains
the same, but the popular medium is
now the piano, the noblest of all
musical instruments. To buy one it
is no longer necessary to save up a
large sum. At c. j. Hoppe & Son,
lll7-19 Chestnut street, they may
be obtained on the rental-payment
plan, if desired, and their used"
pianos, pianos of famous makes that
have been rented and renovated, are
sold at great reductions.
