managed to get about town
at all before we had our
electric" said friend of mine the
other day. 1--WE use it on every
possible occasion. We take father
to his train in the morning. Then
we take the kiddies to school.
Mother has discovered since we've
had the car that she is economizing
on her bills for groceries and meats.
She is not in the least afraid to
drive in traffic. In fact, she some
times takes father in town to his
office, shops in the morning, keeps a
luncheon engagement, and takes the
children out into the country for ali
impromptu picnic in the afternoon.
Of course, this wouldn't be possible
without our Rauch & Lang. We
bought it Of George Hugh Smith,
Inc, 1885 Chestnut Street.
IT HERE is a special display Of
Whittall rugs this week at the
store of Fritz g. La Rue, 1916
Chestnut Street. These, you know,
are woven on domestic looms. They
follow closely the patterns of the
antique Oriental rugs, and their
colorings are the result Of over forty
years experimentation at the Whit
tall factory. There is such a wide
range of designs and such a variety
Of colorings that you can be certain
Of finding Whittall rug that will
harmorize with your furnishings.
whether they be Of the delicate
lines Of the Louis Seize period or Of
sturdy Iscobcan persuasion. Not the
least of the merits Of Whittall rug
ia its durability. They are made Of
carefully selected wools. and their
colors will retain their splendor after
years OF hard service.
T Asst week / made some really
good snapshots, and after I
- had them developed and print
ed at Frank J. Curry's, S12 Chest
nut Street, decidedsto have one Of
them enlarged. The result sur
passed even my fondest expectations.
Details were brought out very clear
ly, and the enlargement was much
better, in fact, than the snapshot
itself. 1t was done in black and
white, and I found frame at Cur
rvs which suited it exactly. While
on the subject Of enlargements, I
might remind YOU that snapshots Of
children arc often better than photo
graphs for which they have beer
posed, and enlargcments made from
them will be the source OF much
pleasure in after years. and, as I've
said, Curry's do this work extrsor.
dinarily well.
