TECKWEAR of good quality is
~ a Christmas gift which ap-

~ a Christmas gift which ap-
peals to every man. Very Oft
en- he does not buy expensive ties
when shopping for himself, and so
appreciates them all the more when
he receives them at Christmas time.
Knitted silk neckwear is a particu-
larly good investment. 1t wears
well and holds it's shape. Marshall G.
Bush, Inc, 1913 Chestnut street and
113 South Thirteenth street, have
some really beautiful knitted ties in
plain colors and stripes. They are
full-fashioned and of excellent quail
ity, Hand-loomed Italian grenadines
are also very good, and are a partic-
ularly good choice now, because it is
SO difficult to obtain the genuine
grenadines. Crepes de chine in plain
colors are always good and always
liked.
II UST about this season of the
=. year you begin to feel that time
is the most important thing in
the world. There seem to be so many
things you could do if there were
only twenty-five instead of twenty
four hours in day. You will save
yourself much time by doing your
shopping early in the morning, and
the very best way to get an early
start is to breakfast in town. At
the Cheri restaurants, 124 South
Thirteenth street and 1872 South Fif-
teenth street, you will find your
breakfast ready for you when YOU
arrive. The food is delicious-and
one dish that you must not miss is
waffies and maple syrup. The Cheri
restaurants are noted for the excel
lence of their service, so you can
rest assured that the hot dishes YOU
order will be hot when they arrive.
~ NE would almost be tempted to
purchase one of those good
looking Japanese cigarette
boxes, if for no other reason than
that it adds so much to the attract
iveness of the library table. Filled
with cigarettes, it would make a most
acceptable Christmas gift. Those
which ! saw at Yahn & McDonnell's
shop in the Widener Building were
particularly good looking. Another
gift on which you simply can't 90
wrong is cigars. If you know that
a man smokes cigars then YOU know
what he wants for Christmas. At
the Yahn & Mcdonnell stores, Chest
nut and Fifteenth streets, 1437
Chestnut street. 120 South Fourth
street and also in the Widener Build
ing shop, which I've already mem
toned, you will find both imported
and domestic brands.
A FUR-LINED overcoat is one
~ of those little luxuries that a
man is sometimes prone to
think he can't afford. But that is
where it comes in as a Christmas
gift, and you may be sure it will be
a welcomei one. These fur-lined
overcoats are not so high-priced as
you would think, and they wear so
well that they are really good in
vestment. / was surprised myself
to learn that it is possible to pur-
chase fur-lined overcoat at such
reasonable prices as those in Mac
donald & Campbell's, 1334-36 Chest
nut street. They are good-lookinp
comfortable coats of fieeces and
cheviots in grays, browns and
heather mixtures. The Innings are of
natural and blended muskrat, mar
mot, nutria or eastern mink, and the
collars are of beaver, otter or Hud-
son seal.
TSOO much, can hardly be said in
favor of the knitted scarf or
muffler as Christmas gift.
There are few men who are not in
cluding them in the list of "things
l want for Christmas" Jacob Reeds
Sons, 1424-26 Chestnut street, have
some of the finest and most ex-
quisitely colored ones that / have
seen. There are accordion weaves in
various color combinations and plain
crocheted silks. The Swiss ribbed
mutfiers are new and very much
liked. They come in plain colors and
stripes. The black-and-white scarfs
and the all-white ones for evenino
wear would be appreciated by the
man who already has one of the col
ored muffiers. There are angora
scarfs, too, and those soft handker-
Chief muffiers of English foulards,
which are so con- enient to carry.
