w and hot weather all arrived
in town at the same time, but
only one was expected, for water
melons, as a rule, are not the first
fresh fruits of. the season to appear.
Usually cherries arrive ahead at
Henry R. Hallowell & Sons, Broad
street below Chestnut, but this year
they were beaten by the beautiful
and refreshing Florida Watermelons.
However, Cherries are not many laps
behind in the race, and they. too,
may grace your table. for Hallowell
has magnificent, big, Black Tar
tartan Cherries, which come from the
wonderful orchids of California,
where hundreds of acres are devoted
to the cultivation of this matchless
fruit. Delaware Strawberries, fra
grant and glowing, are there also,
so this week you will have an embar-
rassment of riches.
~ HE evolution of the porch is in
teresting. 1t isn't any longer
- just a porch, with a few un-
comfortable chairs, a sagging ham,
mock and dusty floor. 1t now has
as much attention bestowed upon its
furnishings as any room in the house
and offers quite as many possibilities
for bright, cheerful and original
schemes of decoration. Porch Rugs,
for example, are legion, and even
after deciding upon the color desired
there are numerous weaves to choose
from at Fritz & La Rue, 1124 Chest
nut street All are imported from
Japan and hand made. The Alpha
Tea, of braided fiber, impervious to
water, may be. had oval or round, in
sizes 4x7 to Sx12 ft. These have
natural colored centers, with bor-
ders of brown, black, green or COM
bination of shades in fancy designs.
TO SOME clothiers men may
come and men may go, but.
once they have tried Jacob
Reeds Sons, 1424-26 Chestnut street,
they go on forever buying their out
fits from this reliable firm. Why?
Because equality" has been adopted
as their standard. 1t is the founda-
tion upon which their business was
built, and is the foundation upon
which their clothing is manufac-
tured, for unless the first steps are
sound the clothes cannot be so. If
the materials are half cotton, if the
workmanship is cheap, if the tailor
ing is Indifferent, satisfactory re-
suits positively cannot be obtained.
So don't be fooled into buying So
called Bargains" Insist on all
wool fabrics. Scrutinize the shap-
ing, making and appearance of the
garments. Pay fair price. Don't
buy Cheap" clothes. Look for
QUALITY.
~ 70 LIVING-ROoM furnished in
~ stiff, uncomfortable furniture
\ ever has homelike air, for the
atmosphere is repellent rather than
inviting. Especially is this true if
the davenport, the most conspicuous
article in the room, is of hard and
unyielding type, while if it is one of
: the Faultless English Down Daven-
ports made by the H. d. Dougherty
Company, 1852 Chestnut street, the
whole tone of the room is changed.
These soft and luxurious pieces, up
holstered in the finest down, come in
several styles: the Chesterfield, an
old English design, tufted in the
back; the Lawson, another three
seated model of straight lines, and
( No. 237, with curved top and in two
sizes, one small for apartments. All
are of unsurpassed quality, custom
made throughout and practically in
iestructible.
