THE well-dressed man will be
interested in the smart hats for
- sp:Ing wear which | saw at
the store of Jacob Reeds Sons, 1424
Chestnut Street. The "Mossant VAL
lon and the "Argod,' two light
weight models. have been imported
from France. The "Borsalino" is an
Italian hat. Reeds have also very
extensive line of Frank Schoble hats.
These are of American manufacture.
The college Campus" is light
weight, rather rakish hat for sport
wear, and the "Collegian" is a soft
hat. rather more conservative. The
well-dressed man will want either
one or the other for spring wear.
Fabric hats and caps are coming
into favor with the advent of spring,
and for real service and style you
can make no better choice than those
which you will find at Reeds.
n ARIS is doing marvellous things
with lace this season, and on
- a dainty, summery frock at the
Caspar Gown Shop, 1920 Chestnut
Street, | saw a panel Of lace used
most effectively. 1t was a frock of
filmy chiffon, patterned in pastel
colors-faint mauve and palest yell
low. It's girdle was of yellow and
green. There was a vestee of the
lace and a panel from waist to hem.
The chiffon was draped at the hips.
A navy crepe Georgette striped with
rose made lovely afternoon dress
which l saw at the same shop. The
bodice was simply made with col
larless neck and short sleeves and
there was a girdle of accordion
pleated black taffeta, the pleats
seemingly held in place by a band
of bright red satin. The skirt was
tucked under in true harem style.
A HAND-PAINTED Gift Bas-
n ket filled with the choicest of
4 u fruits from the store of Henry
R. Hallowell & Son, Broad Street
below Chestnut, makes an Faster
gift that is truly typical of this
Joyous season. One basket which
admired particularly at Hallowelrs
had background of soft green and
bright dash of purple in its design
was most effective. Great clusters
Of black Hothouse Grapes from
Belgium, deliciously sweet Plums
from South Africa, delicately col
ored Beurre d'Anjou Pears, crisp
Spanish Almeria Grapes and other
luscious fruits artistically arranged
in the basket formed rich, glowing
mass of color, and taste even more
delicious than they look. An Easter
gift such as this is both charming
and unique.
TT is really quite problem to
/ secure Easter eggs that are
- pure and wholesome in these
days of substitution and sugar con-
servation, but I can assure you that
not only the Easter eggs, but all of
the candies at Yahn & McDonnelfs
store, 1903 Chestnut Street, are
made Of the purest ingredients that
it is possible to obtain and under
the most sanitary conditions. The
Easter bunny to grace the center
of the Easter basket is of solid
chocolate, from its funny little tail
! to its outstanding ears. Each basket
should have its .name-egg, and you
may have them lettered at Yahn &
McDonnell's. There are cream
cocoanut and plain cream eggs
besides the hollow chocolate eggs
which open to reveal chocolates and
bonbons.
