Branch Stores Open Every Evenine A iccent editorial in one of Philadelphia's dailies deplores tho fact that "good, workmanship is raier than it ever -was before," and that "the normal human enthusiasm for work and healthy effort and achievement is at its lowest ebb." If such really be the case, it should givo Philadelphians a sense of satisfaction to know that the proprietors of the Chestnut Street Shops are maintaining tho same standards of quality and efficiency upon which they have built their leputations.

Winter Will Catch You Napping If You Don't!! 1000 OVERCOATS & Silk Lined Suits irt a "Wonderfully Special Sale F YOU haven't already inspected the wonderful airay of silver at tho store of Bailev. Banks & Biddle Co., you will be surprised w hen I tell you that it is quite pos sible to purchase there inexpensive gifts of silver, which, like all articles bearing the name of Dailey, Banks & Biddle, are carefully made and exquisitely decorated. A silver and crystal pitcher is a very useful gift, and there are bonbon dishes and flower vases and graceful compo tiers, any one of which would call forth exclamations of delight from the fortunate recipient. A jam jar and spoon would make a pretty and thoughtful gift for an invalid's tray, for -which all things should be dainty, and a bride would be over joyed to receive a silver and crystal muffineer. ARE you one of those persons who delight in sending a gift that is just a bit out of the ordinary something that will be appreciated not only because it is beautiful, but as well because it is unique? If you are, you will be glad to kt.ov. that a gift basket from the store of Henry R. Hallowell & Son, Broid Street, below Chestnut, quite merits the above description. Hallowcll's have a great variety of baskets, beautifully decorated by hand, which are truly eorgeous when rilled with delicious fruit. A Japa nese hamper, finished ma shade of blue-green, forms a wonderful back ground for the bright-colored fruits. Piompt delivery of gift baskets, in pefect condition, to out-of-town points, as well as in Philadelphia, is one instance of the service you can expect of Henry R. Hallowell & Son. HE servant question is a night mare to some housekeepers, while to others it has the as pect of a problem satisfactory solved. Electrically equipped homes are independent of the whims and vagaries of cooks and parlor maids. One of the most important electrical labor-saving devices is the vacuum cleaner, and a cleaner like The Hoover, which not only sweeps and cleans, but actually beats all grit and dut from carpets and rugs, is doubly efficient. The suction brushes the nap up to proper position and prevent"? it from wearing at the sides, thut. lengthening the life of the carpet. The attachment for dusting is a valuable accessory, for it removes the dust, instead of scat tering it. The Hoover is on sale at J. Franklin Miller's, 1612 Chestnut Street. T EJ&mniu Srq& r-i OMETHING delicious and appe- vj tizing for luncheon is chicken salad, with fried oysters, ai served at the Cheri Restaurants, 124 South Thirteenth treet and 132 South Fifteenth Street. When I say it is delicious and appetizing, I choose the adjectives advisedly, for nono but the most crisp and tender lettuce and tho freshest of chicken is used in the chicken salad, and Hin oysters are fried to perfection golden brown and crisp. Everything is so daintily served at the Cheri Restauraitts that it is a real pleasure to eat there. Do not forget, when or dering your chicken salad and fried oysters, to include an order of Chen's delicious French pastiy. It is just the right dessert with which to conclude one of Cheri's dainty luncheons. THE quaintest of the quaint in the line of evening dresses is one of emerald green velvet at the stole of Oppenheim, Collins & Co., Chestnut and Twelfth Streets. It has a pointed bodice with round neck, which is V shaped and extends almost to the waistline in the back. An afternoon gown of Pompeian red duvctyne has embroidery in self color on the front of the bodice and the side panels of the skirt, as well as on the sleeves, which reach to the elbow. A gorgeous evening gown of gold biocade has a pointed train. A bow of black maline, fastened at one side, veils the train with its long end. Its only trimming is a girdle of jet beads. Another beautiful evening gown of black net, over silver cloth, is elaborately trimmed with sequins. IF YOU are planning to make Christmas day merry for some one by the gift of a New Edi ion Phonograph, now is the very i st lime to order it. You can make in better choice than the New Edi son, for the- quality of its tone is unexcelled. If you have any doubts in this regard, ask to hear the New Edison at the store of N. Stetson & Co., 1111 Chestnut Street. You will be convinced of the power of this instrument to actually re-create sound. They will gladly send you a beautiful booklet, with halftone le- productions of the photographs of such celebrated artists as Frieda Hempel, Jacques Urlus, Ferrari Fontana and many others whose re creations you may hear on the New Edison. This book also contains short biographies of famous composers. BTOIlE ori'.ND DAILY O A. M. AND CLOSES AT Sxtfi P. Sl.S A DETROIT man, in his will, left his bathiobe to his wife, with the wish that, since she had worn it so often during his lifetime, he honed that she miirht enjoy it now unmolested. If the bathrobe was as attractive and comfortable as those at MacDonald & Campbell's, 1334 Chestnut St., it was small wonder that she wore it so often.
