TT AVE you ever considered the
I'll Oriental rug as a Christmas
u gift? 1t is surely a gift'that
evidences thought on the part of the
giver. Its exquisite colorings and
wondrous beauty of design set it
apart from the rug that is mere
floor covering and make it real
part of the scheme of decoration.
You will find at the store of Fritz &
La Rue, 1924 Chestnut street,
great stock of Oriental rugs, Saruks,
Kermanshahs, and many other Per-
sian rugs, as well as wonderful va
riety of Chinese rugs. If you desire
rug to fit into any particular scheme
of decoration, statesmen who have de-
voted much time to the study of
Oriental rugs will be glad to aid you
in selecting one to meet your re-
quirements. Fritz & La Rue carry
these rugs in sizes to fit Philadel-
phia's suburban houses.

when we have the two things COM
bined, as in one of Hallowell's gift
baskets of fruit, we may consider
ourselves fortunate indeed. One
that would make lovely Christmas
gift is a large Chinese basket, gayly
painted with poinsettias and green
leaves. And the fruit--great clus-
ters of Belgian Hothouse Grapes,
Oranges, wonderfully large and lus-
cious, colorful Japanese Persimmons
and delicious Spanish Almeria and

where is the maid who would not be
overjoyed at receiving a diamond bar
pin as Christmas gift? l. Press G.
Sons, Chestnut and Eighth streets,

would make a most acceptable gift.
An especially attractive one was set
with diamonds and clear blue sap
phires. Another of emeralds and
diamonds set in platinum was most
effective, too. The pins of platinum
set with diamonds alone seem fairly
ablaze with light and are particularly
effective for evening wear. Now is
the time to select the pin if YOU are

IF YOU have decided that you
will never own a talking machine,
- ten to one you have not yet heard
the New Edison. Every one abhors
the nasal, mechanical sound of so
many talking machines, but the New
Edison is not machine but a musi-
cal instrument which reproduces
sound perfectly. People who are
musical prefer the New Edison for
it's superior quality Of tone. Thomas
A. Edison, inventor of the Edison
Diamond Disc Phonograph, extends
an invitation to the public to COM
pare the Edison with any other
phonograph and then decide. Try
this test for yourself. You may hear

necessary to enlarge the building. and
to do so required that the building,

RICHMOND REALTY

Claim City
Cannot Go
Behind Legislature

There was a feeling in real estate
circles last night. both as regards
agents and men who are back OF the
building program in Richmond. that
the effort to require. filing with the
deed to property the names of parties
holding mortgage notes, will not
amount to anything. In the first
place 1t Is claimed that the Virginia
legislature has clearly defined how
deed shall he recorded. and pre-
scrtbed the duties and the limitations
OF the court clerk.
1t is held by many who have ana
lied the resolution passed by council
that the city cannot go behind the
state, and the only evil effect that the
ordinance might have. would be to
frighten men who buy, build or lend
money for the purpose OF adding to
the number OF Richmond houses,
Even this is doubtful in the minds Of
many people in close touch with the
situation.

A Plea for
Richmond's Old
Familiar Streets

Edward s. Rose. dean in the local
real estate faculty. says the war is
not altogether responsible for the in
flow of people to Richmond There
is Just natural beauty and honey
content about the city that appeals to
visitors. Says he:
when persons visiting our city are
given a bird's-eye view of Richmond
and its wonderful development, to-
gether with its possibilities, they at
once become impressed, and concluded
to abide with lis. Hence our increase
has been steady and sure. I have
oftentimes been reminded of this fact
by those who were former residents,
and who sought and obtained posi-
lions elsewhere, and after a lapse of
. time came back more willing to get
their biscuit here than to have a whole
loaf elsewhere. All Of which goes to
prove the true application Of that good
old song, There Is no place like home.

Mr.. Rose In a loyal friend Of the old
streets. those familiar friends that
have been here since Richmond was in
its swaddling clothes and from which
have come many OF the nations best

he does not want to see these
thoroughfares neglected. cast of and
