U bebitterty disappointed if it were not bought at Bailey, Banks & Diddle Company, wheie they never had a richer or more exquisite as sortment. All are set in platinum, and the size, cut and settings of the diamonds vary greatly. Some have , the largo center diamond surrounded i by a solid paving of small brilliants, ! or have them running down the i shank of the ring. In two popular rings the solitaire is held, instead of by ordinary piongs, by delicately wrought filigree hearts or the ini tials of the happy pair. SINCE rugs in general, and Oriental rugs in particular, have so largely replaced carpets hardwood floors have come into vogue, nnd Fritz & La Rue, 1124 I Chestnut street, the well-known rug dealers, maintain a Hardwood Floor Department and make a specialty of tne laying 01 an vuneues ui pui quctiy flooring. In addition to this they have a contract system of taking care of the floors in private homes and public buildings, thus in suring their being kept in a perfect ! condition at all times and relieving the housekeeper of the entire bother 'and responsibility. As their work I men are experts, they do not upset 1 the house, and ordinarily the floors I need attention about once in three months. Get them to explain the system to you. It's a splendid idea. i ONE but not forgotten are the r. awful days when the gilt- maker, casting about for some thing useful, presented a hideous jam Jar to the woman who never ate jam, or a box of cotton to the one who never sewed.

Pomerants & Co., 1525 Chestnut stiept, there are plenty of articles suitable for either or for both. Their Maik Cross imported ware is all very beautiful. The sets of colored glass nested ash trays, mounted in princess silver, being as daintv as can be, but the most unusual piece, one to be seen nowhere eiae in town, is a semicircular Cigarette Humidor of princess silver. The top is in a stunning black-and-silver striped effect, with the little revolving door of black patent leather and the in side of plain silver, divided into com partments holding a hundred ciga rettc3. WOULD-BE funny papers are always "knocking" women for the inannronrlntp ciffa they make man at Christmns. or if by chance they hit upon the -right article the wrong taste is displayed. Why not put it up to men them selves oy going to Jacob Heed's Sons, 1424-2G Chestnut street, and let salesmen, not ladies, do the ad vising. Their assortment of neck fear is most varied, the prices the same. There are hosts of now moire silk ci cations in two-tone, self- figured effects; Persian effects, with well-blended colors; grenadine scarfs; many handloom-knitr or cro chet scarfs, in different color combi nations, one line featuring a grad uated shoulder, which means new nnd added tie comfort to the wearer; English Spitterfields and French silk scarfs and novelties of all kinds. I WONDER how many times one changes one's mind before finally deciding what to give at Christ mas! It ought to be an easy matter with the thousands' of suggestions offered, but on the off-chance that the question is still unsettled, here is another, Uo to the House Furnish ing Store of J. Franklin Miller, 1612 Chestnut street, where truly Practi cal things are featured, and bok around. If you have never been there before you will be surprised to see that pots and pans, brooms and stoves are not tho only "furnish ing" they keep. Among the many dainty articles are" fancy baskets for wood or scraps, dozens of the latter in all colors, weaves and shaDes. nnrl colored metal waste paper baskets with quaint, hand-painted designs that must have been copied from samplers.
