The Stores.

The merchants are alive to the fact
that Christmas is rapidly drawing
near. Evidently they are well equip
ped to supply Christmas needs. Many
of the show windows are tastefully
decorated already and more are under
way. The large front window of the
Whipple- Converse Co. has a back
ground of evergreen in front of which
is a white arch supported by two
white columns. This is danked on
either side by a picket fence, also in
white Here as we'll as in the two
smaller windows are seen a great var
iety of the goods they are advertising
for Christmas. The basement win
dow is festooned with green and red
crepe paper and displays three small
decorated evergreen trees.
The two large windows in the Hun
ter & Potter store have background
of white. and each window has. four
symmetrical arches, in the center of
which the light from an electric bulb,
enclosed in a screen of red, adds
beauty in the evening. Over all are
canopies of green and red crepe pa
per. On the floor are several small
evergreen trees trimmed with tinsel.
The interior of the store is deliberately
trimmed with festoons of green and
red crepe paper and many paper bells.
SO far the Frasier store is display
ing it's goods only, but they have
great variety.
G. S. Stevens is displaying the real
goods only in the bottom of his win
dows, but the upper background has
very tasty arrangement of green and
white in basket weave style skirted
with tinsel from which many tiny
Christmas bells are suspended.
The two windows in the Kinney
pharmacy have daintily arranged
overhead and background of white
crepe paper. In the center of one a
large circular opening is surrounded
by white paper bands radiating in all
directions, and few poinsetta bios
SONS add a desirable touch of color
to the scheme. In the center of the
other window stands Santa Claus not
only surveying his wares but inviting
the people to come in.
The r.. H. Harris windows have
color scheme of white and green crepe
paper with base of evergreens on
which is displayed a variety of desir--
able presents. The decorations of one
of the windows are further adorned
with poinsetta blossoms.
The Levaggi window is attractive1y
festooned with red and green crepe
paper.
Miss E. L. Bassett's four windows
have background of crepe paper
trimming, one each in white, green.
red and one with green and white.
Miss May Basset's window has an
attractive decoration of green and
white crepe paper trimmed with an
abundance of poinsetta blossoms.
In the Ste. Marie store two win
dows have a background of white
crepe paper and evergreens. One
shows a decorated Christmas tree and
the other a chimney from which San
ia Claus is Just emerging.
Other windows are in preparation,
h,lt not far enough along to describe.
They all add to the attractiveness of
the displays. but are primarily in
tended TO call attention to the wares
offered for all.

Adventures With a Purse

THE woman who takes singing les.
i sons, and in constant touch with
a teacher never has any trouble In
finding new songs. Her teacher has q
host Of songs at the ends of her fingers,
so to speak. But the woman who
loves to sing for her own and her
friends enjoyment frequently wonders
what she can find that Is new and really
pretty, yet not too difficult. 1t is to this
woman that my adventure is addressed.
I know Of shop that makes q specially
Of simple melodious ballads for the
singer. There you may 80, and II you
tell the nice shopkeeper what you want
he will play over any number for you
from which you can make a selection.
Many Of them have violin or cello OBJ
bligatos.
One Of the shops has a tableful of
heavy white Turkish towels, Of gener.
ous size. for thirty EIGHT cents each.
Their original value was sixty cents,
but they have been repriced. If you are

No escape! The cape has become
as settled malady with US as with the
toreador himself. We just can't get
along without it. Some Of the smartest
Of the separate wraps have yokes, and
many equally fashionable break a knee
length expanse by band of trimming
running from side to side just below the
shoulders. This mode, exemplified on
many of the I'aris evening wraps for
winter, is brought out in lovely white
cape Of broadcloth shown today for
Southern wear. This has its snowy
surface broken in the way just men ;
toned by deep band Of cut-o work
in jade green broadcloth.
Many Of these capes for the South
are carried out in the checks SO ex-
tremely fashionable just at present.
These add, Of course, a valuable note
of color to the all white frock.
Testifying both to the popularity of
the cape costume and of the combination
Of black and white Is the model of black
velvet and white chiffon provided here.
The cape is trimmed with white fox,
which by the way, is predicted a big
vogue for spring. and the corsage is
cheered up by bands Of vivid embroid-
cry.

do you prevent this?,. NJ. 8. d.
Too much heat in the oven is the
cause OF this trouble. The buns should
be baked In a slow oven and turned
from the pan as soon asitaken from the
