TVERY one is talking about
H., those attractive Gift Baskets
Of Fruit which Henry r. Hal
lowell & Son, Broad Street below
Chestnut, have introduced this year.
They are hand-painted--some in
delicate colors, some in bold Oriental
effect, and their colors are so
chosen as to form q striking foil Cor
the bright-hued fruits. They are
filled with the most delicious fruits
that 1t is possible to obtainr-Nec-
tarines and fresh japanese Plums
from South Africa; Winter Nelis
Pears, which have a particularly fine
flavor; Spanish A1meria Grapes,
crisp and Of wonderful pearl-color,
showing tints Of green and rose;
Beurre d'Anjou Pears, luscious and
beautiful, and other delicious fruits.
Arranged artistically in Hallowell's
Hand-Psinted Baskets, they make
really delightful gifts.
TT IS small wonder that London
has sponsored the fad for wear
- ing white khaki or linen knick-
ers on the links, for they are most
effective against the green of a golf
course. Just now they are being
worn with tweed coats, but later on
they will look very we'll without
coats. At the store of Jacob Reeds
Sons, where saw the white knick-
ers, there were also golf suits Of
English tweeds and homespuns, with
herringbone overplaids. These, you
know, are good wearing materials.
They may be had with long trousers
To match-an innovation which the
business man will appreciate. Reeds
have golf hose Of imported Scotch
and English woods in several differ
ent weights. They are OF various
colors besides black and white and
the heather mixtures.
II AVEN'T yoE always longed
n for one of those vacuum
carafes that you can place on
a table beside your bed, filled with
ice water, or mayhap, with your
breakfast coffee? At the store Of
]. Franklin Miller. 1912 Chestnut
Street, you will find them in all col
ors, with trays to match, so you can
easily choose one to harmonic with
the color scheme of your room. There
are blue and pink and lavender cara
fes and red one that ! think is par
ticularly attractive. Another that
would look very we'll in a room with
colonial furniture is ivory white and
has border of quaint, prim little
rosebuds on both tray and carafe.
Thermos bottles, in both pint and
quart sizes. can also be had at
Miller's. They are particularly use
full to the motorist.
ITHE condition of ones luggage
i is just as certainly an indica-
tion of ones tastes as the con-
dition of ones shoes. The man who
gives thought to his personal ap-
pearance would no more think of
walking into a hotel with battered
travelling bag than he would attend
reception with muddy shoes. Trav-
cling bags of good quality are really
the only ones to buy, for few things
are more hardly used in the course
Of their existence. The logical place
to buy them is, of course, the stcre
of Bailey, Banks & Biddle Company,
for this store has the very best of
both fitted and untitled bags. They
are of the most durable of feathers
and the fittings are Of ivory, ebony
or gold.
WHEN l visited the Philadel-
w phia Art Galleries, at Fif-
v teenth and Chestnut Streets.
this week found them making
preparations for a sale Of house
furnishings that promises to be of
more than usual interest to those
who are looking for things that are
out of the ordinary. The complete
furnishings of the homes of Mrs.
]. Allison Janney and Mr. A. Leon
Rudolph are to be sold at auction.
A number of gorgeous Persian and
Chinese rugs and silk carpets are
included in these sales and a really
wonderful collection Of solid silver
There are some worthwhile an.
tiques, some worries, Japanese and
Chinese embroideries and ceramics
and some paintings. The entrance
to the Art Galleries, which are or
the second floor, is on Fifteenth
Street ...
