Bailey, Banks & Biddle Company. A
State Dining Service Of LenoX has
been recently added to the Priceless
Presidential Collection of the White
House, and, while some of the ware
ranks with costly foreign pottery,

Two new and lovely patterns: The
Autumn and The Ming, come in every
conceivable piece. The Autumn, with
a basket of raised flowers and fruits
in autumnal colors, on the center of
the plate, and decorating the insets
of the gray-blue border. The Ming

get-up, and for this reason are care
full to purchase their neckwear in
shops noted for their good taste. At
Jacob Reeds Sons, 1424-26 Chestnut
Street, where the Haberdashery De-
partment is splendidly equipped to
meet the most exacting requirements
of the most fastidious man. many are
choosing soft, pliable and serviceable
Scotchspun Cravats, in PLAIN or
striped Heather mixtures. Loomed

WHENEVER l pass Henry r:
w Hallowell & Sons, Broad
w Street below Chestnut, look
at their exquisite Gift Baskets or
Fruits, for they are never twice
alike. and each time seem to surpass
themselves. Many of the baskets are
Chinese, stunningly hand-painted
with fantastic Oriental designs; 9TH
ers round, square or queer boaty-
shane. are of a twisted greenland
white fiber that harmonizes with the
gorgeous and luscious fruits culled
from the choicest gardens and or
cbards of the country. Nowhere else
can such artistic creations be found,
for the greatest care has been exer--
cised in placing the bright-hued
fruits so that none clash: Strawber-
ries, Alligator Pears, Apples, Pine
appies, Pears and Oranges topped on
by beautiful Tartarian Cherries, and
all may be bought loose.
