The oblong shape is most desirable for tho small home or apartment, for it docs not wko up a great deal of space. Tho square hampers arc suited to the larger room and both may be had in natural finish or white enameled.- I saw these at the store of J. Franklin Miller, 1612 Chestnut street. There wore also some sturdy willow clothes baskets. Unusually lovely, I think, is a certain wood basket at Miller's. It is of willow stained a soft green and is most gracefully shaped. Somo new wastebaskets, beautifully hand Painted in bright colors, have just arrived, and, if I am any prophet, will disappear very quickly, for they arc most attractive. pHE new shipment of South Afri can fruits which has arrived at tlin storo of Henry R.

The Honey Dew Melons are here, too, and they are larje and dellciously sweet. One is inclined to think that when the nn cients waxed enthusiastic over tho J'Cctar and ambrosia of the gods they had simply been permitted a peep into tho futuro and visualized our fnjoyment of Ilnllowcll's Peaches and Honey Dow Melons in March.

ADVKRTISKMUNT VAHN & MCDONNELL'S "special candy days" arc becoming very popular. You know they are selling their delicious bitter-sweet choco lates at a special price one day a week. Another day thev sell their caramels. I have sung their praises many times and so has every one who has tasted them. On Monday I noticed they had hard candies, and they were being packed in boxes with amazing rapidity when I was in the store. If you have not already tasted Yahn & McDonnell's bitter sweet chocolates, the special candy day will offer you an opportunity to become acquainted with them. You should not miss it, for I know you will find them just as delicious and wholesome as it is possible for choco lates to be." They are made in Yahn & McDonnell's own factory. THERE arc many reasons, of course, why silver has come to be looked unon as the ideal wedding gift. Chief of these, I think, is its permanence. One likes to think that one's gift will recall pleasant memo ries of the donor many years after the wedding day. One of those lovely tea services at the store of Bailey, Banks & Biddle Company would mako a most acceptable gift it need not be an individual gift, for Bajley's will keep a list of the gifts purchased for any bride, so thnt nil the silver is sure to bo of the same design. Your gift will bo doubly ac ceptable in the fact that it Is part of a perfect whole. Let me remind you that there are many inexpensive ar ticles of sterling silver suitable for gifts at Bailey's. A MOST useful article for tho nur sery is the folding dressing tablo with canvas top, which I saw at tho storo of II. D. Dougherty & Co., 1C32 Chestnut street. It has pockets for safety Dins and othor necessaries. You will be interested, too, in the white-enameled willow basket in which baby can rest comfortably during trips in the machine. It has a hood and u handle by which it may bo carried. If you need a crib you would not thinlc, of course, of going elsewhero than to Doughertys to Eurchaso it, for their name on any cd or mattress means that it is just what their trade-mark irriplics, '.'Faultless." I saw one lovely little crib finished in ivory enamel and with tiny Louis Seize garlands on its sides.
