w that a silver service may be
included among her wedding gifts?
Silver is really the most thought
full Of gifts for the new home. 1t
lends dignity to the table and it
will be appreciated not only by its
first possessors, but will be held as
priceless heirloom through many
generations. Many Of the most beau
tiful designs Of the periods Of Louis
Seize, the Brothers Adam, Chippen-
dale, ETC., are represented in the
wonderful collection of silver dinner
and tea services at the store Of
Bailey, Banks G. Biddle Company:
Many families make a joint gift OF
such a service, each giving one or
more pieces. Bailey's will keep a
list Of the gifts chosen, so that
duplication is avoided.
IT. HERE is certain pump at the
second-foor shop of Del Mar
L & Company, 1911 Chestnut
Street, which combines most effect
lively the smart lines Of the French
shoe with the graceful last Of the
American pump. It ties above the
instep after the manner Of the
French pump, but has a longer
vamp than the French shoes.
It is happy combination, for most
of us find the French last a bit
trying. 1t comes in black suede and
black patent leather. The one and
two eyelet ties come in soft brown
and black leather and are both COM
Portable and good looking. One thing
that patrons seem to find so satisfy

courtesy Of the salespeople, and
their care in seeing that one gets

- furnishing Of the veranda. I
saw one last week that I thought
very interesting. The color scheme
was green and white. The rug,
which came from the store of Fritz
& La Rue, at 1916 Chestnut Street,
was particularly effective. 1t was
one of those green and natural-coior
block rush rugs which you can have
made in various sizes, and it most
certainly lent an air of distinction
to that porch. The oval rush rugs
in natural color are very good look
ing, too. like those with the COL

grass rugs are well liked, too, and
the Belgian rush rugs, which are
hand-woven and very durable, have
been attracting a great deal Of at

at The Blum Store, 1910 Chestnut

crisp little ruffies appliqued in apron

fichu formed the waist. A maize
colored organdie had its overskirt
scalloped at the bottom, and, Just
below the girdle, pastel colored
flowers embroidered in silk floss
gave a most effective touch tn the

REV. TYLER GIVEN
 AWARM WELCOME

In greeting to the new pastor, Rev. R. E. Tyler, and to his family. the members of St. Johns Methodist church gave reception at the parson- age.
 At this time the household of the minister was fairly pounded" with little and big packages that were brought to fill the pantry. and to ex- press the> appreciation of members of the congregation.
 CHURCH SLOGAN
 In speaking of the new field to which he comes, Dr. Tyler said yester- day:
 The slogan of the St. Johns church is that no one can attend a service here without finding a friend, and without receiving a cordial hand grasp.
 The proof of the popularity of the church is the large attendance, espe- cially at evening services
 Dr. Tyler expressed his apprecia- tion of the warm welcome. received, of the spirit of the people, the we'll organized Sunday school, and the good music.
 With regard to future plans he said; "St Johns is located ideally to be- come a strong institutional church. It is in a section of the city where
  with gratifying results My minis try here will be with this development in view.
 COOPERATION
 In cooperation with the pastor the board of stewards. through the chair man, Mr. r. w. Houghton sends the following message:
 "Our board of stewards of the St. Johns Methodist church are planning a great forward movement this con ference year.
 Our newly appointed pastor. Rev. R. F.. Tyler, will be with today to preach at both morning and evening services. Dr. Tyler is not new in Bir- mingham. He served the Norwood church for three years where he did q great work While there, he preached a series of sermons on home that were published by the Age-Herald in full and later, by a New York publish | ing company in book form, Mir. Tyler was also pastor of the East Lake church for four years where he was
