IF YOU are looking for something
new and different as a slight
- token of your regard for the
man of the house at Easter time,
you will be glad to hear Of the re-
cent importation of French hand,
kerchiefs which has been received
by Macdonald G. Campbell, 13S4-3o
Chestnut Street. The French have
way of persuading linens to take
on colors that no other country
seems to have acquired, and these
at Macdonald & Campbell's bear
witness to their skill. There is
bue-the real French blue-a won
derful rose, bright orange, soft
purple and very springlike green;
They are in various patterns, dotted
and striped, and some have solid
borders. The linen is Of finest quail.
ity, and the handkerchiefs are all
hsnd-hemmed or hand-hemstitched.
TRUE economy in shoe buying |
lies in purchasing a shoe that
- fits to perfection. This is only
possible when one has the co-opera-
tion of courteous salespeople, as
one assuredly has at the second
floor shop of Del Mar & Co., 1911
Chestnut Street. There is a shoe
for every foot, and the expert shoe
salesman knows just the kind OF
shoe that will feel most comfortable
on your foot-that will not pinch at
the instep nor rub at the heel. He
can tell at q glance what shoe is
best suited to the lines of your foot.
This kind of service means great
deal to the busy woman who would
be we'll dressed. She will make no
mistake if she buys her Easter shoes
at the store of Del Mar g. Co., for
they have the very newest in pumps
and oxfords.
IF YOU have not visited the crys-
tai department at the store of
- Bailey, Banks G. Biddle Com
pany during the past month, you
will be surprised, know, at the
number of new and lovely things
that have arrived. Delicately cut
candy jars, gracefully shaped COM
potes, useful little marmalade jars
would all make most acceptable
Easter gifts. A long, low dish, ex-
quisitely cut and beautifully shaped,
would make lovely centerpiece for
the dining table. The use Of fruit
as a centerpiece, a custom long in
favor in England, is becoming very
popular on this side of the ocean,
and when one possesses such a
beautiful dish as this, one feels that
it is not only work of art in itself,
but that it is worthy Of holding the
rarest and loveliest Of fruits.
THERE are many people who
accept complacently their doc
- tors suggestion that they de-
vote eight hours to work, eight to
recreation and eight to sleep, con-
sidering that il they retire, say at
10 and arise at 7 they have done all
that could be expected of them.
Yet they have not slept, perhaps;
but have spent the night tossing on
an uncomfortable bed. The doctors
prescription should have included a
mattress of curled horsehair and a
boxspring made by H. D. Dougherty
& Co., 1852 Chestnut Street. The
Dougherty mattress is carefully
made, and the pure curled horsehair
with which it is filled is the most
sanitary and elastic of materials.
The luxurious boXspring should
complement it always, if you would
have healthful rest thing assured.
OOD-LOoKING silk shirts, all
r ready for Easter, are making
- their bow at the stores Of
Marshall & Bush, Inc, 1918 Chest
nut Street, and l13 South Thirteenth
Street. There are heavy crepe de
chimes, striped in bright greens and
blues and lavenders, and silk broad
cloths with narrow pin-stripes in
various colors for the man Of con-
servative tastes. The French nov
city silks make very attractive
shirts, and there is an unusually
interesting assortment of brown
striped silk broadcloths. Neckwear
is always favored as an Easter gift,
and Marshall & Bush have a new
knitted tie which is a bit out of the
ordinary. 1t has embroidered dots
which are most effective. They have
also the fashion-knitted ties, with q
band which keeps them from stretch
ing.
~ PEAKING Of riding togs, and
- every one is speaking Of them
~ at present, | saw the most at
tractive little tricorne at the shop
of George Keebler, 1923 Chestnut
Street. 1t comes in all colors.
There was a black tricorne Of
very fine milan with a rather high
crown. The tricornes are so uni
versally becoming, and when l tell
you that these were made by Keeb.
Ter I need not stress the fact that
they are the correct thing. There
is an air Of smartness, too, about q
Keebler sailor that is unequaled,
think. A good-looking one of pine.
apple straw with soft satin band
can be had in various colors. Then
there is the Keebler Special sailor
with narrow brim and high crown
and a stunning sailor of rough straw
with facing and pugares band OF
