N. W-LOveIy Ideas In Gifts.
IF any woman ever needed an
l excuse for shopping for
Christmas gifts the Dell Millinery,
528 Twelfth Street N. W., win
provide It,. In writing about gift
offerings we ourselves hesitated
between the leather and suede
handbags shown In shades to
match the costume-price from
$2.95 to $40, the handmade
handkerchiefs shown in white
and colors, the gayly colored
Scarfs and the costume jewelry-
and so we are mentioning all
four-all will make adorable
gifts, and for your information,
the prices are unusually low.
Note-all hats displayed in this
shop have been reduced. A
splendid opportunity for Madame
to purchase her holiday chapeaux
at a reduced price.

lined, with the collar Of shirred
velvet or cf white bunny. A fur

women won't buy, but would love
to own. Silver Fox-or pointed fox
Initiating Silver-never goes out
Of fashion: then there are those
darling little tiescarfS Of smooth
lapin, charming for a young
girl.
Perfumes are next on the very.
luxurious list; but people are so
individual about the kind Of per.
fume they like and the kind
they simply can't bear, that you'd
better keep away from perfume
unless you know the type she
prefers. So we will say nothing
about them, except that single
flower odorS are gaining in popu-
lartty, with Gardenia q classic
favorite; and that there is a
delightful group Of spicy perfumes
for the sports or business woman.
Silver jewelry Is much In

types which seem just right for
winters fashions. The exouis-
