IT HE possibilities of the porch as
an outdoor living room have
loomed large in the past few
years, and each year we find. new
and interesting things in the line Of
porch furniture. really did not
know before I visited Fritz & La
Rue's store, at 1915 Chestnut Street,
that it is possible to obtain those
good-looking Kobe block rugs in any
size desired. The oval Belgian rush
rugs are practical and very we'll
made. This is the first shipment
that has been received for several
years. There was an interesting
Japanese rush rug in natural color,
with an old blue border. that I ad-
mired particularly, and there are a
great many new things in the grass
rugs which are so well liked for the
outdoor living room or breakfast
porch.
lTHE business man who finds
time for an hour or so on the
- links before dinner will appre-
ciate the golf suits which I saw
this week at the store Of Jacob
Reeds Sons, 1424-26 Chestnut
Street. They are of English tweeds
and homespuns, and have both
knickers and long trousers. They
are not only good looking, but com
Portable, which means much to the
golfer. With the approach Of warm
err days the white khaki and linen
knickers are going to be very much in
demand, for they look so we'll with
out coat. You will find some very
good looking golf hose at Reeds. A
particularly attractive pair which ]
saw was Of brown wool with de-
sign in green woven at the top.
These would look very we'll with tho
tweed suits.
THRICE blessed is the fashion
designer who put the Eton jack
- ct in the mode, for it affords
such a delightful excuse for wear
ing those exquisite vestees of organ
die and net, such as those which
saw at the store Of j. B. Sheppard &
Sons, 1908 Chestnut Street. Of net.
with exquisite insertion of lace, is a
particularly lovely vestee, which
would dress up" the plainest OF
frocks. 1t has deep ruffle Of pleat-
ed net at the bottom. A dainty little
affair Of dotted voile shows a pan
nier effect at the sides. Tiny pleat-
ed ruff1es add to it's attractiveness.
I must put in a word also for the
attractive collar and cuff sets, some
TO be worn with the long -sleeved and
frocks. One that I liked combined
old blue ratine with white voile.
~ VEN if one intends having only
h, a quiet home wedding, it is
- quite important that ones
wedding announcements should be
correct in every particular. They
should be engraved on paper Of good
quality, and one should make certain
that the workmanship leaves moth
ing to be desired. Of course, the
best way to do this is to place your
order with a reliable house, such as
Frank ]. Curry's, at S12 Chestnut
Street. It is not too soon to be think
ing of invitations and announcements
for June weddings, and orders should
be placed as early as possible. Speak
ing of weddings, Curry's have some
very attractive and appropriate
cards for the various wedding ami.
versaries. Such card is very much
appreciated on the occasion of an
anniversary, and these are unusually
lovely.
TT AVE you heard that The Blum
III Store at 1910 Chestnut Street
has been reorganized? was
passing there few days ago and no
ticed some very good-looking blouses
in the. window Being Of curious
turn Of mind, investigated further
and discovered that there are a great
many new things inside. The stand
ard of quality which made the old
store so well liked by its patrons is
TO be maintained, and even greater
attention is to be devoted to the pres
entation of the newest and latest
Of fashions in gowns, suits, coats
