| 4 RE you one of those discrimi-
~ mating persons who, when
sending birthday card, Sc
lect one to fit the recipient-the
kind of card that makes him feel
that you are thinking of him and
no one else when you selected it?
If so, you need search no further
than the store of Frank J. Curry,
BIZ Chestnut street, for nowhere
else in town will you find such an
assortment. A framed picture
always makes a welcome birthday
gift, and the delicately colored pic
lures, which have made famous the
names of Wallace Nutting and Fred
Thompson, are especially accept
able. Take your films with you to
Curry's for developing and printing
or enlarging. You will find that his
work well deserves the characterize
tion "of the better kind"
IF YOU are planning a small
dance in the near future or in
tend giving. one during the win
ter months you will be glad to have
that most perplexing problem of
securing the right music solved for
you, for it is often difficult to secure
the services of an orchestra. The
Solotone Manufacturing Company,
1927 Chestnut street, will lend Won a
photograph especially adapted for
concert work or dance music and
will supply with it a number of
selected dance records. To relieve
you of any anxiety as to the trans
portation of the machine the Solo
tone company offers to deliver and
call for it. You will be delighted
with this arrangement for manv
reasons, not the least of which Is
the absolute dependence which you
can place upon the performance of
the instrument.
HNE of the first things that
comes to mind when selecting
furniture for the kitchen Is
the table. You will be making a
wise selection if you choose a table
with porcelain top, for it is not
only the most sanitary, but is much
easier to keep clean than wood or
oilcloth. The porcelain top will not
rust or tarnish and can be cleaned
with a damp cloth. One of these
tables, which saw at the store of

street, has a separate pastry table.
kept in compartment underneath
when not in use. Another has a
convenient stool hinged SO that II
can be used in any desired position.
Bins and drawers add to the useful
ness of the tables and keep materials
for baking within reach.
~ NE Of the jewels that a pirl
prizes most is her engage
- ment ring, and if it be a Pol
ished Girdle Diamond from Bailey.
Banks & Biddle Company's store she
will have a ring valuable not only
for the sentiment prompting the
gift, but as we'll for its intrinsic
worth. The Polished Girdle Diamond
is exclusively Bailey, Banks &
Biddle product, and the method en-
ployed in polishing the diamond
brings out unusually beautiful lights.
With band of small diamonds,
which has suppianted the plain gold
band formerly in favor as a we'd
ding ring, the engagement ring
having single Polished Girdle Dia-
mond, makes a very effective and
beautiful combination of jewels.
Two such important events as an en-
gagement and a wedding surely de-
serve such fitting commemoration.

While was abroad i met and

ant population that as the result Of
the war It may be possible for each
man to secure a farm OF his own. Men
will stay at home IL they become sure
Of this. The revolutionary leaders
have promised it TO them as the result
OF the governmental overturn. and
they are waiting. before considering
anything else. to see IL these promises
are to be kept. If their hopes are to be
disappointed they will not become con-
WINGED OF the certainty Of this for
considerable time. Until they really
are convinced we need not expect that
great rush of immigration which will
be inevitable II ever they shall be con-
WINGED.
Notwithstanding all the influences
which are working against emigra-
ton, however. many millions OF people
are waiting eagerly for the day when

ties. The crushing burdens of taxa

the loss Of live stock which has &C.

more, are influences which have made
