Years ago the Aunt Jemima people realized
that when a woman mixes pancakes herself
she could never be sure how they would
turn out. Some days they might be good
but other days, when she thought she had
done everything just the same the cakes
would turn out flat, tough and soggy.
To give every woman a way of making cakes
that always come out wonderfully always
light and fluffy and tender Aunt Jemima
Pancake Flour was created.
The treasured recipe of a famous Southern
cook was adopted as the basis of the for
mula.. Long study was put in perfecting
it. Especially ground and blended flours
were used flours that you could not buy in
a store. And finally, since good pancakes
need sweet milk, that was added, too (in
powdered, form).
No wonder Aunt Jemima Pancakes have
such an unusually delicious flavor no
wonder 120 million Aunt Jemima break
fasts were served last year!
So quick and easy and so nourishing
Aunt Jemima Pancakes have just the nutri
tious, wholesome elements that your family
needs their gluten percentage is unusually
high. They have the food value that gives
youngsters strong bodies and plump, rosy
checks.
Have Aunt Jemima Pancakes tomorrow
and some other day Have the Buckwheat
Cakes (Aunt Jemima Buckwheat Flour
comes in the yellow package). Try waffles
and muffins made with the Pancake Flour,
too, they're delicious. Read on any Aunt
Jemima box top how to get the famous
Rag Dolls. Aunt Jemima Mills Company,
St. Joseph, Missouri.
Richer becguie of Che milk thal'a in it!
Sweet milk, powdered and mixed in thejlaur gives
Aunt Jemima Pancakes the flavor that has made
them America' s favorite breakfast. You need add
nothing but water to have rich, full-flavored cakes.

Never gets on your nerves
Philadelphia has been called many names, good, bad and indiffer
ent, by jealous outsiders, but never has she been accused of beinpr
inhospitable. She has cordially welcomed the many strangers who
have flocked here recently, and the Chestnut Street Shops in particular
have Invited them to share all the privileges of the residents, and are
anxious to help them in any way that lids in their power. During the
holiday season they, with the others, have been asked to assist tbe
merchants by shopping as early in the day as convenient, and by order
ing goods now which are to be delivered they will obviate all possi
bility ot delay or disappointment.
A'
LL aboard for Toylandt That
land lor little people, where
the iratea abinrl oncn nil dav
long and the "elevator" train arrives
every few minutes. Be sure to get
off at the right station, at the fourth
floor of B. F. Dewees, 1122 Chestnut
street, where children aro always
welcome and there is a lot to see.
Such interesting games of every
kind; the "Magnetic Fish Pond,"
where the fish are terribly hard to
catch, though there is not a drop of
water in the pond; "Pirates and
Players" and games that make
arithmetic, geography and history
much easier than at school! Every
thing for a grocery store in one box
and n truck, too. As for dishes, pots
and pans, a real meal could be got
with them, and for boys there are
soldiers, tents, cannon and drums.
, LUSTERING old Father Winter
has made his entrance on the
scene and will continue to oc
cupy the stage for months to come.
Somo will welcome him, but many
dread the thought of tho freezing
nights when the windows must be
kept open and beds feel like ice
boxes. But these nre foolish people,
for at If. D. Dougherty Company,
I 1632 Chestnut street, there are
( blankets and comforts that will defy
the most penetrating cold, and are
just the thing to buy for yourself or
for a Christmas present. The fleecy
1 white all-wool blankets are of gener-
I ous size, with pink or blue fancy
bona or pm-stnpo borders, while the
I cozy wool-fil'2u comforts, covered
with the prettiest of fnrured or nlain
I silks and sateens, come in colors to
1 match nearly any bedroom.
! rtOCIAL events are crowding in
. thick and fast, and the nearer
Christmas approaches the
greater the demand for Full Dross
and Tuxedo Suits. No apparel of a
man's wardrobe lequires better
workmanship, and at MacDonald &
Campbell's, 1334-36 Chestnut street,
they make a specialty of outfitting
men in these important garments so
that they present the well-groomed
appearance essential in correct eve
ning dress. Their models are cut on
tho newest and best lines, "the col
lars cling as close as a creditor, the
revers he as easily as a woman
about her age," the fronts are soft
and smooth and tho quality of the
fabric is irreproachable. Discrimi
nating men have pronounced these
suits to be jthc finest examples in
every detail of good tailoring, and
an hour's notice will insure perfect
fitting.
AS THE days grow shorter and
the winter closes in about us
we might think Mother Na
ture had forgot us did we not see
the marvelous fruits she continues to
lay at our feet. At. Henry R. Hal-
lowell & Son's, Uroad below Lliest
nut street, they have gathered them
for us, these joyous fruits of shining
orold. trororeous red and russet shades
and put them into exquisite baskets,
baskets that; are as exotic as the
fruits themselves and which when
filled are without a peer. Nowhere
in the country can Christmas gift
baskets of fruits be procured which
approach these artistic Hallowell
creations: their very novelty makes
them doubly appreciated both at
home and outside of Philadelphia.

HENEVER there is
slightest doubt, what to give
a man for a Christmas gift
(and when isn't there?) it is always
safeto fall back upon the one thing
he never goes without, but which is
always wearing out hosiery. At
Jacob Reed's Sons, 1424-26 Chestnut
street, every kind of half hose is to
be had. Fine English and domdstic
woolens, plain colors or heather mix
tures, in fiat weaves, fine and coarse ,
ribbed effects, all full fashioned and,
excellent for sports, outdoor work or
wearing with oxfords. In silk half
hose there are attractive plain col
ors, with or without clocks; French
self-ribbed; high-grade domestic
bright silk two-tone combinations
(brown and gieen, black and white,
two shades of purple), in graduated
stripes and inexpensive overplaid
half hose. r
O YOU want to earn the last-
D
ing gratitude of that friend
for whom vou are seeking a
really distinctive Christmas present?
If so, drop in at William Curry's,
1112 Chestnut street, and examine
their fitted bags and suit casesfor
men and women. You have no idea
what a variety there is in size, shape,
leathers and fittincs, and as every
ono travels these restless days, if
only to Camden and back, you could
not cive a more welcome Kift. The
smallest size Overnight Cases for
women are dainty little anairs,
holding the most necessary toilet ar
ticles, with room for a nighty and
kimono, while the largest are pro
vided with a most complete outfit in
shell, Parisian ivory or silver. The
bags and cases for men are equally
as attractive and many have ebony
fittings.
THE term ."ideal" should not be
used pro'miscuously, only to
the highest achievement in
any lipe should it be applied, as in
the "Ideal" Fireless Cookstoves sold
at the House Furnishing Store of J.
Franklin Miller, 1612 Chestnut
street. This embodies all that is
best in fireless ocookstoves, and truly
ideal is the cuisine after one has
been installed. No more scorched,
burnt, dried-up or overcooked food;
everything is cooked so that the food
value, flavor and nutriment are pre
served, and with absolutely no atten
tion from the housewife during the
process of cooking. Thero are three
size cooKers, tnose in oan cases
being much the best. Any one can
Better select your basket before the use them, the only dirterences in
final rush. It will .be laid aside, filled , cooking the "Ideal" way are lighter
and sent whenever desired.
E IT a pin or a piano, what
woman can resist a bargain?
Not just an advertised bargain,
but one that is truly worth while.
That is the kind I have seen pianos,
not pins at C. J. Heppo & Son's,
1117-19 Chestnut street. They have
Uprights and Grands of the very
best makes, which were rented dur
ing the summer at different resorts
and, while of excellent quality, far
better, indeed, in every way than
new cheap grade pianos. They can
not be sold for their original price,
j though they have been put in perfect
I condition. Besides these "summer-
1 resort" pianos there are nlso shop
worn Horme nianos. selling for a
low figure, which have been used at
concerts or for demonstration pur
poses. Any of these make good pres
ents, are guaranteed and carry a
year's exchange privilege.
WHENEVER I wander into
Bailey, Bunks & Biddlo Com
pany, and that is ' often, I
am struck anew by the beauty of
tho shop as a shop and by the beauty
of their comprehensive collection.
Hosts of Attractive objects of art re
plete with gift suggestions aro
temptingly displayed, and I pass
hours among them. Yesterday, Crys

in desk furnishings, caught and held
my eye. Instead of being leather or
metal, all the pieces, inkwell, calen
dar, stationery rack, pen tray, stamp
box, blotter, even tho corners of the
pad, are of the finest and most deli
cately hand-engraved crystal, made

Chestnut street. They keep the
finest brands of imported and do

handsome Chinese rug of a heavenly
shado of blue, tilted at precisely the
right angle, to catch the 'sunlight
