THOSE graceful one-eyelet ties,
the newest in smart footwear,
- are such practical shoes, for
one feels that ones feet are cor
rectly shod in them for almost any
occasion. A pair Of these in black
patent leather which ! saw at the
second-f1oor shop Of Del Mar & Com
pany, 1911 Chestnut Street, |
thought particularly attractive.
There is an attractive pump of dull
leather with straps crossed at the in.
step, which has about it remi-
niscence of the Orient, and the black
suede pumps and ties which are be-
ing worn so much in Paris will
please the woman who likes the
soft, velvety character of this ma
terial. And as for walking shoes,
| am quite sure you will find nothing
smarter than the Del Mar oxfords.
A RE you planning your vaca-
~ tion clothes? If so, you will
4 n be interested in the printed
voiles which l saw at the store Of
J. B. Sheppard & Sons, 1908 Chest
nut Street. You may choose from
a number Of attractive patterns at
a special price. There is an un-
usually good-looking dark blue voile
with white figures--a pattern that
! have not seen anywhere else
which would make a very pretty
afternoon dress. Then there are
some of the dainty voiles with light
grounds and figures in delicatc col
ors. Now is the time to buy them
if YOU wish TO be certain of having
your dresses when the warm weather
comes. Sheppard's also have some
madras of a very good quality. 1t
is striped in color and is excellent
for mems shirts.
TANY people are taking ad-
V vantage of this delightful
A'A spring weather TO secure some
really good snapshots. A "really
good snapshot" presupposes a really
good camera, and, if you are contem-
plating the purchase of camera, I
can recommend the shop of Frank j.
Curry, at S12 Chestnut Street. You
will find cameras in all sizes at
Curry's, from the vest-pocket kodak
anu pOA CdihSid 40 W IiiC ldIk ktoI
and finest that are made. Another
thing-you will receive expert advice
as to the handling of the camera
which you purchase at Curry's. This
shop has established a reputation for
the excellence of its work in develop
ing and finishing. You will be de-
lighted with your prints if you take
your films to Curry's for development.
N/OU simply must include at
Y least one dress of that lovely
Shimmering "Kumsi-Kumsa"
silk in your summer wardrobe. !
saw q most attractive one at the
Blum Store, 1910 Chestnut Street.
Front and back panels and the lower
section of the skirt were of lovely
shade Of turquoise and the. waist
and upper part Of the skirt were of
white "Kpmsi- Kumsa." Another
dress which / liked was Of, rose
colored "Roshanara" crepe. The
waist was most attractively beaded,
and the skirt was pleated. A dress
which would be most becoming to
the woman who is inclined to be a
bit stout, was Of white Shantung.
1t was a tunic dress and was trim
med most, effectively with L aiding
in white. These are but few of the
attractive dresses to be found at the
Blum Store.
X/oU really have no idea until
Y you've tried fixing up your
- house for the summer Just how
attractive and cool it can be made.
Rugs are one of the most important
items in summer furnishing. Those
pretty cretonne-bordered rugs at
Fritz g. La Rue's, 1916 Chestnut
Street, are really summery and the
hand-braided rugs look particularly
we'll on q dark highly-polished floor.
You spend great deal of time on
the veranda in summer, and if you
have q breakfast-porch I can think
Of nothing more attractive for its
fioor-covering than the grass rug in
a certain shade of dull blue which
! saw at Fritz & La Rue's. The
Kobe block rugs are also very good
for the porch, and the Belgian rush
rugs arc vary practicT and durable
