Judgment he could trust, TO test the
d'ferent machines. They agreed to
write down their judgments separ-
ately, comparing notes only after
they had heard every phonograph
thai Lad come to their attention.
And they found, which to me and to
those who have heard it, seems not
at all surprising, that they both
agreed that the Perfek k'tone was the
most satisfying of all. Try this test
for yourself. The showrooms of the

| saw at the store of Van Dusrn &
Stok kcS, 1928 Chestnut street, she
finds it not only useful, but most
effective addition to her costume
These vanity cases come in variou,
attractive shapes. One very pretty
little vanity was Of silver STRIPED
with gold. Gold mesh bags are
much in favor, and they are so beau.
tiful that one almost forgets that
that is not their only excuse for
being. A lovely green-gold bag has
a frame set with sapphires and
diamonds, and at the bottom fringe
of pearls. Some have frames of
chased gold. All the links in these
bags are SOldered so as to form u
complete circle and there is no
danger Of their breaking.

of stately grace

VXTHATEVER of stately grace
w ones dining room may pos,
scss, no furnishing is quite so
important as sterling silver. 1t is
the longest lived Of all household
possessions. Few other furnishings
possess its lasting charm, Ii is al
ways in good taste, always in the
mode-even more so when it is old.
Of course, the silver that lasts
that is treasured as a precious pos
session by several generations, must
be carefully made and of the proper
weight to Withstand long usage. One
can be certain Of having silver Of
such quality if one buys at the
store Of Bailey, Banks & Biddle
Company, for this store sells only
silver that has the virtue of per-
manencc to recommend it as gift.
Christmas is just the time to begin
