TOST practical for summer
VI wear are those bathrobes of
Pongee and Foulard at the
store of Macdonald & Campbell,
1334-36 Chestnut Street. They are
light of weight and take up little
room in a travelling bag. Mohair
is another good choice, for it does
not wrinkle, and the summer-weight
Flannels are very good-looking.
Macdonald & Campbell's have also
an excellent assortment of Terry
cloth robes. The colorings-soft
lavenders, tans, greens, pinks, besides
black and white are most eff
fective and the designs are very
interesting. These robes have the
rolling collar and are, altogether,
very we'll made. These Terry cloth
robes are very serviceable, for they
wear indefinitely and can be very
easily washed.
y NE very fortunate bride of my
l acquaintance received a host
~ Of electrical gifts-an electric
toaster, chahng dish, table stove,
iron, washing machine, and a great
number of other useful appliances.
Every one. it seemed, had conspired
to make keeping house" as delight
full a task as possible for her, and
they could hardly have chosen more
acceptable gifts, for their useful
ness has proved many times over
the wisdom of giving things prac-
tical on such an occasion. re-
membered this incident as ! passed
the store of J. Franklin Miller, 1912
Chestnut Street, not long ago, for
the window was replete with sug-
gestions for gifts. Thermos bottles
and carafes, reed baskets, painted
trays, electric percolators all most
acceptable gifts.
TAVE you visited the crystal
RI department at Bailey. Blanks
= = G. Biddle Company's store in
the past few weeks? There are any
number of new and interesting
things there, and if you arc CON
tcmplating the purchase Of we'd
ding gift, you really should not
miss seeing this collection. There
is the delicate, fairy-like tracery of
finely cut glass to please your fancy
and the iridescent loveliness of Que
zal glass to charm you with its ever
changing lights. A low bowl filled
with bright-colored fruits makes a
most interesting centerpiece for the
table, and there are flower holders,
candy jars Of various shapes and
sizes, French dressing bottles,
cheese and cracker dishes and any
number of other gifts to delight the
heart of the bride.
TRUITS are so perishable and
II so variable in quality that such
- a term as uniform excellence
can rarely be applied to them.
Philadelphians are fortunate, how
ever, in having such store as that
Of Henry r. Hallowell & Son, Broad
Street below Chestnut, which main
tains at all times the highest stan
dard of quality. Just now YOU will
find Cherries there. the first Of
California's spring fruits, and they
are truly delicious. Then, too, there
are some really fine Strawberries
from Norfolk, and large, sweet
Honey Dew Melons from South AZ
rica. If you have not vet tasted
those delicious Cabazona Pineapples
from Porto Rico, you really must
not delay in securing one, and you
can still obtain Delicious Apples and
Winter Nelis Pears. Safe delivery
of these fruits is guaranteed 1000
miles.
TNHERE is a good-looking four
finland at the store of Jacob
\ Reeds Sons, 1424-26 Chestnut
Street, that is attracting a great
deal of attention just now. They
caIl it the Beverly" and they are
selling it at a special price. These
scarfs we're purchased for Fall,
1919, delivery and have just arrived,
so the price is based on their cost
last year. Their market value Is,
of course, much higher at present
There is a wide range of solid col
ors to select from, among them
navy, black, tan, dark green, pur-
pie and pearl. The Beverly" Is
made of heavy quality twill silk,
which insures good wearing quality
II looks extremely well when tied
and Is not in the least bulky.
