ATJVEIVriSKMENT
, There ere many advantages in doing your Christmas shopping in
the Chestnut Street Shops, not tho least of which is the guaranty of
quality which the name of any one of these shops hears to the recipient
of your gift, There is a sense of satisfaction in the thought that the
Chestnut Sheet Shops can be depended upon at Christmas lime as
well as at all other times to live up to the reputation for absolute
reliability which they have established.
TO ALL who lae beauty the
pearl is one of Nature's most
- wondertui guts, it seems some
how toipossess that quality of seren
ity which other jewels lack. It has
not the unexpected flashes of light
that we find in tho diamond or the
opal only apure, serene loveliness,
a soft sheen 'which is all its qwn. It
is the most beautiful of gifts but it
has another value asVell. The giver
of such'a gift confers more, than the
mere pleasure of the moment in the
protection which his 'gift affords,,
'earls never deteriorate n value,
Their value increases from year to
year;1 and if, mayhap, a time of ad
versityishould come, the possessor of
a pearl necklace from the store of
Bailey,' Banks & Biddle Company
will consider herself very fortunate
indeed..
EVEN if the gift-basket of fruit
had nothing more than its nov
elty to rrcommend it as a
Christmas gift, it would be well
worthy of consideration, for most of
us are looking for "something dif
ferent." But there is a great deal
ttore than no oity in one of the gift
baskets from Henry R. Hallowell &
Son, Broad street below Chestnut.
First, there is the fruit Hothouse
Grapes from Belgium; several varie
ties of luscious Pears, great clusters
of Spanish Almeria Grapes, delicious
Oranges. Then there is the basket
or hamper itself. A hamper which
is really the most beautiful that I
have ever seen is of a bright shade
of peacock blue. It makes a wonder
ful background for the colorful fruit.
These hampers lend themselves vciy
well to shipping and make delightful
gifts for out-of-town friends.
GIFTLIKE, in deed, are the pret
ty articles of tinware, painted
in gay colors, which I saw at
the store or J. Franklin Miller, 1612
Chestmit street. A tea caddy which
would bo a cheerful addition to the
new Christmas tea-wagon had a tiny
teapot handle. A child's tray, on
which a To w of yellow chicks scratch
ed merrily, woujd be just the thing
for one of theTciddies on your list.
The painted tin cake boxes are ap
preciated by tho girl nt college, es
pecially when filled with homemade
candies. Waste baskets and candle
sticks in various styles would be
lovely in a guest room, and a rair of
wall sconces, on which a pathetic
scene from the life of a horseback
Tider has been painted, would be
most appropriate for a man's den.
1 yff-USICALLY reminiscent of the
I1 YYkmnunrm nf pnnri rhepr that
1 A the Christmas bells bear to a
happy world on Christmas day is
"Celestial Chimes," as played on the
celesta by Robert Gaylcr. The ic-
.u.il.n r9 liin cnlfffHnn nn flip Jpu'
Edison is something you shouldn't
miss hearing, ine. -ceiesia .repro
duces tho effect of chimes with re-
MH.rnlilik flftliH' Tbl rp-rrAHnn
would make an acceptable gift for
any one who owns an poison, ine
Empire Reproducer, which, when at
tached to the Now Edison, plays all
makes of records, i3 another gift
suggestion. Remember that it is
wise to buy your New Edison now,
while the stock is complete. At tho

rHRISTMAS for Dd bhould
mean something that adds to
- his comfort. I am all the more
convinced of this since I saw thei
gootl-looking bath and lounging
robes at MacDonald & Camnbell's.
1384-36 Chestnut street. There is
something so luxurious about the
silk ones and something so comfy i
about tho woolen ones that one' al
most has feelings of ictrret at the
thought of belonging to a sex whicli
rwes not crawj lazily into its loung
ing robe, light its pipe and prepare
10 enjoy ine sporxing page 01 ine
evening paper. There is a purple1
siiK roDe at luacuonaiu & uampbeirs
which should make Christmas day a
bright one for some fortunate "man;
and there are manv others, for thev
have a really wonderful assortment
of colors in both silk and wool robes.
v j EVER is the jeweler quite so
I popular as at unnstmas time,
for then every one seems to
feci that at least ine person on his
or her list would welcome a diamond
ring or a pearl necklace, or some
other triumph of the jeweler's art.

LaValliere as a gift I have good
mews from the stores of I. Press &
( Sons, Chestnut and Eighth streets,
I iiuy MarKet street and 909 Market
street. LaValliercs of platinum and
wniie goio nave ineir pendants at
tractively set with diamonds. One
had a circle nf fold with a HiRmnnH
I in the center. Above that was a
smaller circle, with a smaller dia
mond, and above that a still smaller
circle. There are many more quite
as attractive, and they make such
dainty gifts.
ONE thing on your Christmas list
is going to be pretty hard to
find, or, rather, it would have
been if I hadn't discovered for you
that Marshall & Bush, Inc., 1018
Chestnut street and 113 South Thir
teenth' street, have just received
some new crepe de chine shirts. They
are attractively striped in blue, yel
low, lavender, black and pink. Some
have satin stripes between the col
ored stripes. You wouldn't believe
there are so many different ways of
grouping stripes as these patterns
show. There are shirts of white
crepe de chine also, and shirts of silk
broadcloth, which is heavier than
crepe de chine. There are Solway
silks nlhO in n cronf van'oli, r.t
terns and colors. You will find it
very easy to selec your gift shirts

CHRISTMAS shoppers! Here's
a tip: Have breakfast in town
on the mornings that you have
planned to do your Christmas shop
ping. You, know how hard it is to
leach the stores before 11 o'clock if
you breakfast at home. There aro a
thousand and one things that simply
must bo done, and by the time you
reach the stores they are crowded.
But the early morning is the very
best time to shop. So make up your
,mind to arise early, and breakfast at
one of the Chen restaurants, 124
South Thirteenth street, or 132
South Fifteenth street. Breakfast
is served from 8 to 11, and you are
assured of dejicious food, well cooked
and daintily served. A Chori break
fast is just one of tho things that
help you to start the day right.
ON YOUR Christmas list there is sure to be one person at least who
counts Lady Nicotine among the best of his friends. For such a
one there aro many suggestions for gifts in the large stock of
smokers' articles carried by Yahn & McDonnell in their stores in the Widr
oner Building at Chestnut and Fifteenth streets, 1437 Chestnut streets ana
120 South Fourth street A gift which appeals to every man who smokes
cigars is a humidor. For the cigarette smoker there are cigarette boxes
and cigarette holders and for the devotee of the pipe, tobacco boxes and
pouches, Any one of them would appreciate a good-looking smoking stand
or ash tray, These are but a few of tho many things which add to the
smoker's happiness. There are many more at the Yahn & McDonnell
attareB, efpecj&Hy in tho Wjdener Building shop.
