box of man-siZed chocolates-and
very pretty and inviting too are
some of the smaller boxes and tins
For those who love the old-faSh-
Toned drop chocolates there is a
too-good to-be-true number Here
at Burgan's, also, / discovered
something I've always hoped to find
canned old-fashioned cranberry
sauce with the berries in it, all
done up in one-pound jars.
Over at Bolyards | found a good
many things to accelerate Thanks
giving appetite-Speclal olives stuff
fed with tiny onions, almonds and
pimentoes. And they have a mar
velous assortment of pickles rang
ing from tiny gherkins to big grand
pappy dills. On another shelf there
are bottles of sparkling cranberry
juice to be used for cocktails Il am
told this is awfully good mixed
with grape-juice for a twinkle).
And speaking of cocktails, I must
mention Bolyard's spiced seedless
grapes and not forget their canned
spiced peaches and pears SO de-
licious served with turkey. Also
they have a variety of date, fig
and plum buildings in Heinz cans
already for serving Among their
fruit cakes is one big FOUNDER
in cake Internationally this cake
was simply chockfull of fruits and
nuts
Brightly colored candied fruits,
baskets of assorted nuts, cans of
Old English plum and fig buildings
are all lined up in the South Libby
store to tempt the Thanksgiving
shopper. And the shelves are we'll
stocked with sweet pickles, branded
apricots, sweet picked peaches and
watermelon and honest to gosh"
garnishing cherries. And there
were some aWfully good looking
packaged stuffed and pitted dates
among other goodies for the holi-
days My big surprise at the South
Libby came when Mr.. Crotteau re-
vealed that he had over ton Of
Christmas candies in stock right
noWl These will sell from l0c to
25c per pound and will at all times
be kept under glass covers, even
when on display.
When | got thru looking around
at all the good things in the Pho
neer Meat market, / didn't think I
could wait for Thanksgiving, espe-
cially after looking at the dressed
iucks which Carleton says are THE
best in the world" Those ducks are
a beautiful gold in color, have abso-
lutely no pin feathers and weigh
about 6i2 pounds apiece They were
raised here by the firm and are a
cross between the White Pekin and
domesticated Mallard Here also are
more of those attractively canned
plum, date and fig buildings.
Simply stunning are the new satin
nighties Chefs got in this week
and felt particular weakness for
one in heavy pearl satin with its
lovely skirt gathered to the wide
midriff band and its shoulders shir-
red to lovely line, There are 9TH
er colors in this same satin with a
sprinkling of poppy designs on skirt
and bodice-some have little sleeves
and any of them will bring out the
siren in you Also at Chefs are
some darling Christmas pajamas,
some in paisley prints with Chinese
motif And here's good news for
the woman who wears better than
a size 18-Cheff's have new seer
sucker housecoats in sizes up to A.
For something downright gorge
GUS for your Thanksgiving table get
one of those printed satin damask
tablecloths at the Libby Sc to $l.OO
store Or il you want something
less expensive they have a line Of
very pretty, heavy cotton damask
cloths of Silver Crest brand, pre-
Numbered, with handblocked Amer
