DERHAPS it is because we see so
many well-dressed people in cleo
tric cars that we are apt to assume
that they are only for the wealthy.
1t is really a fact, however, that the
initial cost is not prohibitive, nor is
the upkeep a matter for concern.
Taking all things into consideration,
the upkeep is less than gas-car up
keep, and for city use and short runs
they are most practical. Another
reason why we see so many we'll
dressed people in electric cars is be-
cause one has no fear of soiling ones
handsomest gown when driving an
electric. And one reason why the
electric car is much in evidence at
the opera and at social functions is.
because of its ease of operation and
the feeling of absolute security which
the driver of an electric always feels.
WAFFL ES! Crisp, evenly
w Drowned, tender, make a deli
eious accompaniment to breakfast,
luncheon or dinner. The first es-
them is a good waffle iron, such as
the Griswold Waffle Iron, which I
saw at the store of J. Franklin
Miller, 1912 Chestnut street. 1t has
protecting ring which prevents the
batter from spattering over the
stove. One kind of iron has a very
deep ring, which raises the iron from
the stove and obviates the necessity
of lifting the waffle pans when turn
ing them. You may have this iron
with either the round or square pans.
Did you know that It is possible to
make date waff1es, whole wheat
raisin waffies and buttermill waffles,
besides the breakfast waffies, which
we all like so well?
EVERY man seems to feel, some
~ how, that a new tie expresses
better than anything else his JOY in
the coming of spring, and those wives
who are good psychologists are be-
ginning to evince great interest in
the interesting assortment Of neck
wear at the store Of Jacob Reeds
Sons, 1424-26 Chestnut street. There
are grenadines from Italy, loomed by
hand. They show a MORE stripe with
jacquard polka-dots. The French
moire silk scarfs are very much
liked, for they are pliable and not at
all bulky. The Scotchspun scarfs,
which are exclusive with Reeds. are
homespun in Scotland and are very
serviceable. Reeds have an excel
lent assortment Of polka-dot and
striped scarfs, as well as the we'll
liked knit and crocheted scarfs.
ENASTER Gift-Basl;ets of Fruit in
- Hallowell's window are gay with
all the colors Of spring. Each basket
is truly a work of art, with its fruits
so exquisitely arranged. In the
baskets are Peaches, PlumS and Nee
tarines from South Africa, their
bright colors forming striking con-
trasts to those huge black Hothousc
Grapes from Belgium and the pearl
eolored Spanish Almerias. Here and
there a Beurre d'Anjou Pear adds a
note of gold color, and delicious
Florida Strawberries look most
tempting. They make a gift that is
mt once unique and charming. Henry
r. Hallowell & Son, Broad street be-
low Chestnut. are making special ar
rangements to handle shipments Of
Easter Gift Baskets of Fruit to out
