FORECASTS of fashions are not
difficult to make-after seeing
what's what at Oppenheim. Col
Inns e. Co., Chestnut and Twelfth
streets. On exhibition are a number
of their smart spring suits of Gabar-
dine, Poiret twill, Tricotine and
mems wear serge, many braided or
embroidered, and with vestees of
contrasting materials. A handsome
tricotine has collarless box-coat,
elaborately embroidered in self-tone
chenille, with a white brocade vestee
that hangs perfectly straight, giving
the effect of one-piece dress. An
other novelty suit in navy gabar-
dine. for slim figure, has a loose
straight-front coat that laps and
buttons to one side and is en-
broidered up each seam to the waist
line. A fiat. round-corner collar and
large bow tie of soft silk give the
finishing touches to this jaunty cos
tune.
THE proudest moment in the life
of family is when the Oldest
member of the clan, the great
grandparent, hail, hearty and vigor-
Gus, stands before an admiring
crowd with the youngest member,
the infant. Every one admires, re-
veres and wonders at the well-pre
served condition of the ancestor. but
il is the "baby" which is coveted.
Today in the window of N. Stetson
& Co., iii Chestnut street. the
Steinway piano family is having a
reunion. Side by side with a 1919
Baby Grand is the first Steinwav
Square, made in 1858; and though
sc years old, it has never been re-
paired. The same strings, the same
hammers, the overstrung scale Ia
Steinway invention), the quantity in
laid plate--all are there. And the
highly ornate rosewood case forms
a striking contrast to the severe out
lines of the Baby Grand.

table in order, to get dozen rates.
Each combination contains a certain

households that do not buy in guam

small the lower price will be an ad-
ditional attraction.
