To tho discriminating class of buyers who appreciate articles of good quality the Chestnut Street Shops address their advertising, - thereby making certain beforehand of satisfied customers. DELICATE fairylikc traceries of platinum form a fitting frame for the Pcrlished Girdle Diamond in a ring which I saw at the store of Bailey, Banks and Biddlc Company a ring destined, no doubt, to grace the hand of one of Philadelphia's little bridcs-to-bc. Tho Polished Girdle Diamond, you know, is cut and polished according to a ( patent owned by Bailey, Banks & Biddlc. It is a process of finish ing which enhances greatly the beauty of tho stone. Wedding rings seem more beautiful than ever. Tho circlet of diamonds is a lovely complement to tho diamond and platinum engagement ring. Or you may have a plain band of gold or one chnsed round with orange blos soms, the flowers sacred to nuptials. FRESH strawberry ice cream, made with the richest of cream, tastes mighty good after tho theater, as a number of people have discovered since Yahn & McDonnell began making it at their tearoom, 1508 Chestnut Street. Many of us, too, drop In for a plate in the afternoon and find it most refreshing. Have you ever tried their sandwiches? They arc as dainty and fresh as can be. And then, there's the delicious chicken soup which they servo at luncheon time and their French pastry. I haven't space to tell you about all tho good things thnt you will find on the menu, but suffice it to say that everything is carefully prepar ed and promptly served. You will find the place attractive, too, with its, wicker chairs and tables. AN EXQUISITE shade of old mulberry forms the background of the lovely Saruk rug in the window of Fritz & La Rue's store nt 1615 Chestnut street. Blue and gold arc blended in perfect harmony in the border. This rug would be suitnble for the house in the suburbs which has its living room extending across tho front There aro a number of smaller rugs, too, dignified of design and gorgeous of coloring, suitable for the apart ment or suburban home. Tho sub dued colorings of these beautiful Oriental rugs lend themselves well to cither formal or informal sur roundings tho Saruk which I have described, for instance, would look equally, well with tho furnituro of the Renaissance or with that of our own Colonial periods. TRULY the spirit of spring brenthes through tho chcory verses on the Easter Cards at tho store of Frank J. Curry, 812 Chestnut Street. Delicately colored they nre and most artistically de signed. There is an innnito variety of them to choose from, too. You reallv should make your selection of cards now, while there is such nn in teresting assortment, i noticed at Curry's, too, some very attractive framed pictures that would make Involv cifta.for Easter. There aro some of thoso npplc-blossom pictures by Wallace Nutting which are -de lightfully spring-UKc. a oox or ilationcrv is another Easter re membrance which is much in favor, Miirl vnu will find at Curry's sta tionery of verv good quality at most easonable prices. GIFT-BASKETS of Fruit, whose gorgeous colors arc as per fectly blended, as in-some gay colored tapestry, attract tho eye in tho window of Henry R. Hallowell & Son's store, Broad Street below Chestnut. Tho .baskets are hand painted, some with bold dashes of color, others in subdued tapestry effect, and, filled with Hallowcll's most luscious fruits among them Peaches, Plums, Nectarines from South Africa and clusters of Hot house Grapes from Belgium they form tho most delightful gift imag inable. Honey Dew Melons, which taste as delectable as they sound, form a most refreshing spring des sert. These are particularly find. Hallowells guarantee perfect deliv ery of their Gift-Baskets and all of their fruits to points within 1000 miles of Philadelphia. ITII the ever-increasing cost i gasonne ana tho decrcas- lntr cost nf nWfrlfitv Vin electric car is more in evidence than ever. Then, too, there is to be con Eidered its luxuriousncss, its beauty of outline and its simplicity of op eration. I am told that even the most timid of women will not hesi tate to drive an electric car in crowded thorofnrcs after only a few lessons. The Milburn and Rauch & Lang electric enrs aro now on ex hibition at tho salesrooms of George Hugh Smith, Inc., 1835 Chestnut Street, and thoso who appreciate fine craftsmanship will not regret a visit paid to these showrooms. You should arrange for a demonstration, which will convince you, bettor than any words of mine, of tho merits of these cars. THERE is no surer sign that spring has nrrived than the evidences of interest in spring nousecleaning observable in all parts of town. The systematic housewife makes a list of all things needful to the success of her cam paign, checks off thoso which are on hand and then betakes herself to tho store of J. Franklin Miller, 1G12 Chestnut Street, to purchase the rest, for there she will find the best and most practical of household fur nishings. A vacuum cleaner, with tho attachments for cleaning hang ings and upholstery will bo a much npprecjatod labor -saver during houseclcaning time. Brooms, brushes, dust cloths, mops, chamois, nails everything, in Bhort, that will bo useful nt this time, can be ob tained nt Miller's. NO ONE can gainsay tho fnct that there is a feeling of satis faction connected with the donning of a custom-made shirt a shirt that is made to one's order from material which one has select ed. But one must mako certain, be fore ordering, of tho reliability of tho housp from which ho orders. I would suggest tho store of Jacob Reed's Sons, 1424-2G Chestnut Street, for tho efficiency of their designer and operators assures you of perfect workmanship, and you will find there a most varied assort ment of good-looking materials. You will bo interested in thoir Im ported Scotch Madras in tho new shaded effects. The hnbutais, im ported also, and the broadcloths and tub silks aro most attractive in col oring and of excellent quality. FITTING footwear needs must accompany that trim new tailored suit which is part of your spring toilette. You will renlly bo surprised when you see tho oxfords and pumps at the store of Del Mar & Co., 1211 Chestnut Street. Thoir modornte prices aro made poss bio by tho low rental of their second-floor store. I baw tliore.n neat dnrk brown oxford thnt was very good-looking. The new one-oyelct tics hi brown and black aro correct for wear with the tailored suit and look particularly well with tho ono-picco dresses that we will bo wearing in a few weeks.
