~ HERE are really so many in
teresting suggestions for we'd
ding gifts in the silver depart
ment at the store Of Bailey. Banks
& Biddle Company that one does not
wonder that so many people con-
slider silver the ideal wedding gift.
Things that the bride will find par
ticularly useful are the sterling sill
YER sandwich trays. Bailey's have
a number Of these in most attract
i've designs, some plain, some pierced
and chased. The silver sugar bas-
kets. crystal lined, are lovely, too.
A sterling silver water pitcher
is another good choice, and the
mayonnaise bowls are ALWAYS
useful. There is nothing more ac-
ceptab!e, of course, than a complete
dinner or tea service in sterling
silver, and this may be either an
individual or a joint gift.
y HERRIES from California
I larger and more luscious than
- any yet received this season.
are now at Henry R. Hallowell &
Sons, Broad Street below Chestnut.
II is really difficult to decide whether
the great dark red cherries or the
delcately tinted white ones are more
tempting. You may have them in
one, two or five pound boxes. Cali
fornia Cantaloupes have been ship
ped and should be here in a few
days, and the Jersey Strawberries
are here and are really fine. The
hand-painted Gift-Baskets Of Fruit
look truly springlike with their de-
licious burdens. No wonder gifts
such as these receive such enthusi-
astic welcomes. Hallowcll's guar
antee perfect delivery of all Of these
delicious fruits to points 1000 miles
from Philadelphia.
" OU would have ice cream so
Y much oftener if only it were
- not so troublesome. How many
times have you said this? 1t was
Just this week at the store Of j.
Franklin Miller, 1912 Chestnut
Street, that I discovered the Acme
Freezer. 1t is a two-quart freezer,
light in weight, and economical, for
il does not require a great amount
of ice and salt, and it is the kind
Of freezer that you can keep in the
kitchen, instead of hiding it in the
cellar. Really, there is no reason
why the making of ice cream should
not be considered as part OF the
dinner preparation instead of cere-
mony apart, as it so often is. with
light, sanitary freezer in which
the cream freezes in five nttnutes
the making of ice cream should
not he at all troublesome.
TOR everyday wear a man likes
II a suit that is comfortable and
u well-tailored. Good tailoring
has a great deal to do with the
wearing quality Of a suit. Take
the "Turoie," for instance. This il
a model sold by Jacob Reeds Sons
1424-26 Chestnut Street, in which
the lapels are so constructed as &c
give a soft, rolling effect. A special
" prepared and shrunken wool can,
vas is used in these lapels so thai
the coat will always have a sott'
appearance and will never break
It is a two-button coat, with semi
fitted back. The even poising O.
the shoulders and the graceful lapel'
give it a particularly distinguished
look. 1t is made in tweeds ant
cheviots, both practical materials
for this time Of year.
